Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

Gu Nanzhi calmly turned to face the two who had revealed their true identities, her expression unchanged. She ignored Cang Ling, who had chased after her, and her gaze swept over the two of them.

In this light, one can't help but envy Jun Yanchen for having such talented subordinates, Cang Ling, and now these two before him.

A valiant general often has talented subordinates, and Jun Yanchen has many commendable qualities...

After a long silence, Gu Nanzhi finally spoke, unhurriedly.

"So what if you can? And what if you can't?"

Gu Nanzhi's attitude startled Huai Xu and Xuan Ying; they had never encountered a woman as calm and composed as Gu Nanzhi.

They couldn't do anything about it, but if they could truly cure the prince, they would be eternally grateful and would be willing to go through fire and water for him; saving the prince would be saving them...

But if all of this is just an illusion, there's nothing they can do. Besides, the prince has already accepted his wife and shows her unusual level of care...

"lady......"

Hearing that Gu Nanzhi's voice had become somewhat indifferent, Cang Ling assumed that Huai Xu and Xuan Ying's actions had displeased her, and she was eager to explain.

After all, the lady's role now extends beyond just treating her master; she is also the lady he has chosen...

But Huai Xu didn't let him say what he wanted to say.

“Madam, we are all born of the Prince, and he is the only master we will ever loyally follow. I know this is offensive, but since it concerns the Prince, I have no choice but to verify again and again. The Prince will not tolerate the slightest error.”

It's not that I disrespect or distrust you, Madam; it's just that the Prince's health has been poor for many years, and we haven't been able to find a cure.

Your appearance is a blessing for us, but also somewhat unexpected...

Huai Xu's words were openly expressed doubts, yet Gu Nanzhi showed no displeasure whatsoever.

"You two have witnessed Jun Yanchen's changes firsthand. As for the outcome, please look forward to it soon. I believe that even if I give you an answer now, your concerns will not be completely dispelled."

After saying that, Gu Nanzhi turned and left without looking back.

It must be said that Gu Nanzhi's answer left Huai Xu and Xuan Ying speechless for a moment. Yes, Gu Nanzhi saw through them perfectly; even if they answered yes now, they could never completely let go of their feelings for their master.

The only time to let go is when the toxins are completely eliminated. Before that, seeking confirmation was simply an attempt to grasp at a sliver of hope...

After a moment of silence, Cang Ling addressed the two of them.

“Huai Xu, Xuan Ying, I firmly believe that Madam will soon be able to completely detoxify the master. I have personally witnessed everything she has done along the way, and the master’s physical condition has changed significantly. If you still have doubts, you can have it confirmed by Doctor He and Bai Zang when they return in a few days.”

Cang Ling had now accepted Gu Nanzhi as his wife, and he disagreed with the two men's doubts about her medical skills. He then patted each of them on the shoulder.

"As your brothers, I'll remind you once again: you all know how our master has always treated matters between men and women."

Now that the lady is the one the master has chosen, and whom he has not yet obtained, you must not be disrespectful to her.

Cang Ling even had a feeling that disrespecting the madam would likely have more serious consequences than displeasing the master.

The necessary reminders have been given, and as for what the two people think, Cang Ling has no control over them.

After saying that, he returned to the room where Jun Yanchen was without looking back, and continued to guard Jun Yanchen.

Only Huai Xu and Xuan Ying remained silent.

They had only been there a few hours, but they already sensed something was amiss. They had witnessed the prince's gentleness, thoughtfulness, and uniqueness towards his wife...

------

That night, after the locust trees were covered in foliage, Xuan Ying and the others rested. As the night faded, a new day of work began. After getting up, they skillfully divided up their tasks.

Gu Nanzhi also went to prepare a medicinal meal for Jun Yanchen separately. After Jun Yanchen got up, Xuan Ying and Huai Xu went to pay their respects.

The first thing we heard was a warning.

"Just this once"

After a moment's thought, the two realized this was a warning about what they had done during the treatment the previous night.

Xuan Ying and Huai Xu were shocked; this action only confirmed once again the unique place the lady held in the prince's heart.

"Yes, Your subordinate knows your mistake."

Then, with these thoughts lingering in mind, recalling Cang Ling's last words from last night, I now realize the difference.

Who is the person the master has chosen but has not yet obtained?

Yes, they were so focused on the prince's health that they only realized now that the prince and his wife hadn't slept in the same room, and there wasn't a single trace of a woman in the master's room.

Thus, from the very beginning, the two never shared a room.

What exactly happened?

Extremely puzzled, the two finally found an opportunity during the day to seek confirmation from Cang Ling.

"Cang Ling, what did you mean by what you said last night? How could you say that the Lady is the one the Prince has chosen but has not yet obtained? Although the Prince and the Lady have not completed the wedding ceremony, they are still a betrothed by imperial decree..."

"Cangling, explain yourself. Why did you say that? Tell us so we can be more careful with our words in the future."

Xuan Ying and Huai Xu wanted to know the situation out of concern. Ding Du, who had been following the prince, already knew what had happened along the way.

Faced with their questions, Cang Ling felt that what they said made sense, and that it was inappropriate to discuss the master's affairs behind his back. After hesitating for a moment, she still gave them a word of advice.

"The lady previously wanted a divorce, but her mind is still not over it. It is clear that the master and the lady have developed feelings for each other first, and the lady is the person the master was looking for before."

These words left Huai Xu and Xuan Ying utterly astonished; no matter how much they pondered, they could never have imagined that such a fact existed.

The lady is the one the prince is looking for, and the prince has fallen in love with her first. The most shocked person is the lady who wants to divorce her master!

this??????

"Cang Ling, is this really true?"

"Is there a misunderstanding?"

They still found it hard to believe, after all, they hadn't been able to find the person the prince was looking for despite their extensive network of connections, and the way they addressed him was also different...

Then Cang Ling's words forced them to believe it.

"Confirmed by the master himself"

How could the owner's confirmation be false?

But how could it be such a coincidence?

Upon reflection, and considering the lady's life story, it all seems to make sense now. Ten years ago, the master was fourteen, and the lady was a seven-year-old child.

And the lady had gone missing before...

Then he became trapped in the manor and lost all social connections within the capital... So that's how it is...

This must be a source of comfort for the master...

Since he was the mastermind behind it all, Cang Ling only said a few words before ignoring him and going back to her work.

As for the rest, let the two of them experience it for themselves...
