After dinner, Wang An took his people to say goodbye and go back. He originally wanted to ask his princess to go back as well, so that he could see his prince. But when he thought about the fact that the princess' mother and brother had just moved, he didn't dare to ask.

Instead, Tang said to Gu Lingyue, "Yue'er, go back with Steward Wang and the others. Come back when you want to."

Her daughter Yue'er had already stayed at her parents' home for a night yesterday because of them. If she didn't go back today, not only would others gossip about her, but she would also have a hard time explaining to the emperor.

Gu Lingyue hesitated for a moment, but did not refute. She just said, "I'll finish the acupuncture for you and then go back."

After hearing Gu Lingyue's agreement to go back, Tang Shi didn't say anything else. Instead, Wang An bowed and said, "Thank you, Madam."

"Butler Wang, you are very polite. This is what I should do. However, I will have to trouble you to take care of Yue'er in the palace from now on."

"Madam, what are you talking about? It is my duty to take good care of the princess."

Wang An and others were waiting in the main hall, while Gu Lingyue followed Tang back to her courtyard in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Wenxiu and the other two had already cleaned the house. After Gu Lingyue took out a silver needle and gave Tang acupuncture, she asked Wenxiu to get a pen and ink to write a prescription.

"Tomorrow I'll prepare the medicine according to this prescription and boil it for my mother to drink."

"Okay, I'll go to the pharmacy to get the medicine as soon as tomorrow morning." Wenxiu took the pen and blew on it, which was not yet dry.

Gu Lingyue looked at Qiu Tong again and said, "You stay here with Aunt Wen to take care of my mother. You can return to the palace after we have hired servants."

At this time, there was only Qin Bo's family in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and it was obviously short of manpower.

Qiu Tong was a little reluctant to leave her young lady, but she also understood the current situation, so she had to nod and agree.

After the acupuncture was completed, Gu Lingyue removed the needles from Tang, and then took Yun Shu and others back to Prince Jing's Mansion.

It was already late when she returned, so she went straight back to her own yard. Wang An wanted to say something but stopped himself, then turned and walked towards Zizhuxuan.

"Princess, you're back." Yun Jin said happily when she saw Gu Lingyue and her sister coming back.

"Well, you all can go down, don't worry about me."

"Yes."

After the two sisters went down, Gu Lingyue made sure that there was no one watching around, and then she entered the space.

He took a shower first, and then prepared to practice their Gu family's martial arts.

At this time, Gu Lingyue frowned when she looked up and saw the bars of merit and money above her head.

She had been busy all day, but someone refused to pay her. She had been planning to go to the Gu family in a few days, but after seeing the financial terms, she couldn't wait any longer.

So, he put on his night clothes, left the space, and headed directly towards the ancient mansion.

She did not deliberately avoid the secret guards of Prince Jing's Mansion, so Long Shang soon knew that Gu Lingyue had left the palace again.

At this time, in Long Shang's room, Wang An came to report to the princess and hadn't left yet, but the princess left again, and alone? Wang An looked at Long Shang with some worry, hoping that his prince would send someone to protect the princess.

"I will go there myself." Long Shang looked helpless.

"No." Yun Hao stopped him, "You activated your inner energy yesterday and it triggered the seal. If you use your inner energy again, if the princess can't cure you, it will be troublesome."

Wang An also disagreed with his prince taking risks.

Long Shang paused for a moment and said slowly, "It doesn't matter. If it weren't for her, I would have died six years ago. How could I be alive now?"

"Can……"

"No buts." Yun Hao was about to say something, but was interrupted by Long Shang, "She wants to see me, the king. You will only make things worse if you go."

"Could it be... that the princess knew that the person yesterday was the prince?" Yun Hao asked doubtfully, but his princess didn't know that her master had woken up.

"That may not be the case, maybe half and half. However, she should have guessed that I am awake." Long Shang said affirmatively.

I thought to myself that she didn't hide from the secret guards, she was just testing whether the person from yesterday was me.

He was not afraid of letting her know that he had woken up and would soon die from the poisoning. He just didn't know whether she had really let go of her feelings for Prince Xing or was just deceiving herself.

Even if I die, I can't be killed by her. What if she thinks of me in the future and resents me?

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Long Shang to change his mind, Yun Hao could only say, "Then I will wait in the alley with my carriage. This way, you can use less internal energy."

"it is good."

Long Shang knew that they were worried about him, but in fact, he was not as fragile as they imagined.

At this time, Gu Lingyue had already arrived at the ancient mansion.

She arrived at the corner not far from the ancient mansion's warehouse with ease.

Under the cover of night, she stuck her head out and saw two servants on night watch wandering around the warehouse door.

Gu Lingyue curled her lips. Isn't this telling the thief that there is something in this house?

This is a real-life example of trying to cover up one's own faults.

She took out a scarf from the space and put it on, then bent down and picked up a small stone from the ground, and threw it not far behind her. There was a "pop" sound, and she herself merged into the darkness.

"What's that sound?" one of them asked.

The other person stopped, pricked up his ears and listened, but no sound was heard for a long time.

"What's that noise? Look how startled you are."

"No, I clearly heard a sound like something falling just now."

"Okay, you look around again. I'll go sit down somewhere for a while. I'm exhausted from all the hassles I've been through all day."

The servant who spoke last walked to the door of the warehouse and sat down, while the servant who spoke first walked towards the place where he heard the sound without any suspicion.

He walked to the corner, looked around and didn't see anything. When he turned around and was about to go back, Gu Lingyue came out from the dark and knocked him out with a knife.

Not even a 'hmm' sound came out.

Gu Lingyue supported him from behind, grabbed his arm, and waved to the servant sitting there.

"You don't even want to go around on your own, but insist on asking me to go over. Seriously, I think of you when I have something good."

Although the man complained, he still stood up and walked towards where Gu Lingyue was.

Gu Lingyue directly pulled the unconscious servant to the corner, threw him aside, and waited for another servant to come over.

At this time, she had taken out a wooden stick from the space in her hand, and when the servant came over, she hit him directly on the head.

The servant fell to the ground before he could react.

Gu Lingyue put the wooden stick into the space, walked past the unconscious servant and came to the door of the warehouse.

Looking at the copper lock on the door, she smiled, took out a piece of wire from the space, inserted the wire into the keyhole, and opened the door easily.

After looking around and finding that there was no danger here, she stepped inside and closed the door.

There were a lot of boxes, porcelain, scrolls of calligraphy and paintings and other things piled up inside.

She casually flipped through the box. Some of it was silver, some was medicinal herbs, anyway, they were all good things. It seemed that her scumbag father had accepted a lot of bribes.

Gu Lingyue laughed happily and put everything into her own space without leaving even a penny.
