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

If you believe me, I will help you; if you don't believe me, then pretend I never said anything.

Upon hearing her words, especially the earlier remark about not being familiar enough to use such an intimate form of address, Jun Yanchen felt a pang of melancholy. It seemed he didn't like this kind of relationship, though he himself hadn't yet clearly realized it.

Then attention shifted to what she said next: there are always people more capable than you. What Bai Zang and He Mobai couldn't achieve over the years, there must be someone in the world even more powerful than them.

She spoke with such certainty; perhaps she was just an accident?

Just like she said, meeting her was her good fortune, both when they first met and now.

Besides, I had decided from the beginning to trust her.

Okay, I believe you.

Jun Yanchen wanted to gamble with the last moments of his life on his trust in her.

As for Bai Zang and He Mobai, they can also proceed at the same time. If they successfully find that medicinal ingredient, they will need to wait until Jun Lan returns to meet them.

"Nan Nan, I trust you. Please treat me. I know my condition, so please don't feel pressured. Just do your best. If you need anything, just tell me."

Jun Yanchen’s words also showed that he was not as destitute as he appeared on the surface. His tone was firm, as if he could satisfy any need.

Gu Nanzhi still appreciated Jun Yanchen's trust in her, but she also knew in her heart that this trust was probably based on Jun Yanchen's acquaintance with the original owner of this body.

But she didn't want to delve into it. After all, she wouldn't harm the other person. In any case, as long as they trusted her and listened to her during the treatment, that was enough.

Of course, his words also led to a deeper speculation about him. The fact that he could say such things indicated that he was far from simple.

Even so, she wouldn't pry into the other person's secrets, and their doctor-patient relationship would remain brief afterward.

"Alright, in that case, I will begin your treatment in a couple of days. Just cooperate."

"As for what is needed, it is not needed at the moment."

Putting everything else aside, Gu Nanzhi quite admired Jun Yanchen; she hadn't yet discerned any of the negative rumors and comments about him.

He was simply a bit aloof and quiet, but he was extremely respectful to everyone. At least when he was with her, Jun Yanchen was very approachable.

I had thought that no matter what, this person was a prince before, and even had the title of War God Prince. Even now that he was exiled, he would still be like other exiled people, not having accepted the change in his status, or perhaps he would still have a strong sense of hierarchy deep down.

However, he did not act arrogantly or demand that she treat him, regardless of those circumstances or the somewhat awkward relationship between them.

Throughout the entire process, the phrase "please" was used, which made Gu Nanzhi feel very comfortable. She liked being treated equally and with respect and courtesy.

She knew all of this stemmed from the reason the original owner of this body knew Jun Yanchen when she was young.

But now that this body belongs to her, she can simply enjoy the special privileges she inherited from the original owner.

It's simply a matter of being more serious and saving Jun Yanchen's life as a way of repaying that special kindness;

"Alright, whenever you need anything, whether it's money or medicine, just let me know, and I'll do my best to meet your needs."

Jun Yanchen reiterated his assurance, explaining that they were currently on their way to exile, and his physical condition was complex. The medicinal herbs needed for his detoxification would certainly be extraordinary.

Nan Nan certainly has no way to find them, but he does, and he will do his best to find them, after all, it's about saving his own life;

"Oh, and this too. Nan Nan, you can keep this for now. Just take it out if you need it."

Immediately afterwards, Jun Yanchen took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and handed them to Gu Nanzhi;

This was something Gu Nanzhi hadn't expected at all. Why would this person give her so many silver notes out of the blue?

And where did he get all these silver notes? Could it be that they were given to him by someone Cang Ling went to see last night when he left the camp?

Gu Nanzhi felt she had hit the nail on the head!

There are quite a few of these silver notes. The top one has a face value of one hundred taels, and the ones below should be the same. These must be worth at least one thousand taels!

This person is indeed extraordinary. When they searched his house, they saw so little and secretly thought it was strange that a prince's mansion was so poor. Little did they know that this person actually had a secret stash of money.

Putting all that aside, the key question now is whether this person should just openly hand over so much money.

Does he not understand the meaning of "don't flaunt your wealth"?

Despite the thought, how could one refuse money that was handed to them?

Besides, now that we've confirmed this person is no ordinary individual, they certainly don't lack money. Why not take it? Nobody has too much spare cash.

Gu Nanzhi accepted the silver note handed to her without hesitation, quickly putting it back into her sleeve, or rather, into her spatial storage.

"Since you've already given me the money, I won't stand on ceremony; consider it payment for the consultation."

After accepting it, she added a lecture, "Don't you know the saying 'don't flaunt your wealth'? We're in exile now, and you're just openly taking it out like that. Luckily I acted quickly, or everyone would have seen us."

Despite being lectured, Jun Yanchen didn't feel uncomfortable; on the contrary, he found her words quite comforting.

She seems to really like money, but then again, who wouldn't like money, especially considering her previous difficult life?

It's his own fault, really. He searched for so many years only to fail because he got the name wrong, causing her so much suffering.

Regardless of whether his health improves or how much time he has left, now that he has found her...

Everything needs to be arranged so that she won't suffer so much;

"it is good"

Cang Ling witnessed the entire interaction between the two. Although she didn't know what they said, seeing her master give all the silver notes to his wife had unsettled her ever since she saw her wife grab her master's wrist.

No wonder the master suddenly asked him to give him all the silver notes he had on him; it turns out he had already planned to give them to the madam for safekeeping.

My master's thoughts are indeed unfathomable; they changed in such a short time.

When he returned with the silver notes from Bai Zang, he reported to his master, but the master ignored him completely.

Suddenly, he changed his mind, asked for the money, and gave the lady one thousand taels without hesitation.

As expected of the person the master has always kept in his heart, after serving the master for so many years, this woman is still an exception in front of the master;

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The effects of the medication on Chen Gang had worn off, and he slowly regained consciousness.

Ever since Chen Gang drank that bowl of black medicine, the guards had been watching his reaction with trepidation and worry.

But seeing no results, he grew increasingly anxious.

Because Gu Nanzhi had given them instructions for what to do two quarters of an hour later, they patiently waited, even though they were anxious.

Finally seeing that Chen Gang had a reaction, Chen Qiang immediately supported his shoulders and helped him lean against him.

"She's awake and responding."

"Gangzi, Gangzi"

"Gangzi, how is it?"

"He's awake, he's awake, Gangzi. How are you feeling?"
