The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

“The Dharma Master has people in the capital. Aren’t you afraid of being discovered if you stay here? Why don’t you go out and find a secluded place to hide? It would be easier that way.”

Guo Miaomiao smiled bitterly, "I've thought about it, of course I've thought about it, but given Su An's health, we can't go anywhere right now. We can only stay in the capital. If we go anywhere else... his body can't handle it."

Du Mingxian glanced at her sympathetically, then fell silent.

"I'm so happy to see you. After I came back, I asked about you, but then I heard that you had died in an accident. I was really heartbroken."

“You don’t know, I haven’t received much care in my life. In the first ten years of my life, you were the only person who truly cared for me, and then there was Su An.”

"In our limited lives, I hope you and Su'an can both live well." Guo Miaomiao said this sincerely, holding Du Mingxian's hand, "If you are doing well, I will be even happier."

"Don't worry, we'll all be alright."

Guo Miaomiao shook her head, her eyes serious and earnest. "Mingxian, don't come looking for me anymore. I can barely take care of myself right now. I don't know if I'll live to see tomorrow. We're always hiding from each other."

“If you come looking for me again, you might be targeted by someone else. I don’t want anything to happen to you. Besides, we might move away again someday, and then you’ll just be looking for nothing.”

Du Mingxian didn't know what to say. After all, they had known each other for a while, and she felt sorry for Guo Miaomiao. "I will take my husband to see her in the next couple of days. My husband knows a little about medicine, so he can help your sweetheart take a look."

Guo Miaomiao knew that Ling Silang was knowledgeable in medicine, and that his medical skills were quite good. Hearing this, she was very happy. "Really? You really want the master to take a look at Su An?"

"It's fate that we met. I'll definitely help your sweetheart. Besides, don't you always say we're sisters?"

"Thank you. It's truly my destiny to have met you in this life." Guo Miaomiao was genuinely happy. Regardless of Ling Silang's medical skills, being able to examine Su An was an incredible stroke of luck.

After arriving in the capital, they dared not see a doctor, fearing they would be discovered. Now that they had such an opportunity, she did not want to miss it.

Du Mingxian comforted her, "Alright, you can stay at home without worry. I'll go over tomorrow if I don't go today, but I have difficulty moving around, so I'll bring him over tonight."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come over."

The two stopped talking and left the teahouse together. Du Mingxian went home, and Guo Miaomiao also went home.

Guo Miaomiao returned to the courtyard. Su An was reading in the room. He was happy to see her return, and a smile appeared on his face.

"So happy?"

"Of course, she is the official's wife I told you about before, the one who saved me."

Su An was quite surprised, "Wasn't she dead?"

At the time, Guo Miaomiao only mentioned that she was the official's wife in front of Su An, without saying her name, so he really didn't know that she was the one who came today.

“Luckily, she didn’t die. I’m really happy for her. She said the previous events were a bit complicated, but now her husband has entered officialdom.” Guo Miaomiao thought of Ling Silang and admired him. “Her husband is also a very good person.”

Su An didn't respond, but seeing that Guo Miaomiao seemed quite happy, he was happy too.

"By the way, her husband knows medicine. I've already spoken to her and arranged for him to come over today or tomorrow to take your pulse. Maybe he can help you get better."

Su An felt helpless when he thought about the poison in his body. His body was like this... most people really couldn't do anything about it. "Maybe I shouldn't bother others."

“It’s alright. She and I are sisters. We haven’t had a doctor check your pulse since you came to the capital. I’ve been feeling uneasy about it.”

"Let him come and see. I'll only feel at ease if he sees me." Guo Miaomiao was genuinely worried.

Seeing that Guo Miaomiao was so worried, Su An could only hold back the words he was about to say, "Okay, whatever you say."

Du Mingxian went home and took care of the child. Xu Tingting went to work at the restaurant after she returned and hasn't come home yet.

After finishing his shift, Ling Silang rushed back, worried that Du Mingxian would be unhappy because of Da Zhou's departure. However, when he returned, he found that she was in a good mood, which put his mind at ease.

Before dinner, Du Mingxian pulled Ling Silang into her room and recounted what had happened that day.

“I’ve already promised her that I’ll take you there to see that Su’an.”

"Okay, we'll go after we eat."

Ling Silang had no objection to Du Mingxian's request, "However, he is a Tava, so we should be careful when we interact with him. This matter... I'm afraid we should report it to the Crown Prince."

Du Mingxian hadn't considered these things before.

Seeing her confusion, Ling Silang explained to her, "We are the Crown Prince's people. This kind of thing is too sensitive. Regardless of whether it is for personal reasons, we should inform the Crown Prince about this matter. If there are any problems, we will have an explanation."

Once he entered officialdom, he had to be careful, because he had a family behind him.

"Should you send Qiu Shu over?"

"I think it's a good idea. When we go over tonight, we'll bring Dongmo and Chunfeng with us."

"Row."

The two agreed that after dinner they would head directly to the west of the city, with Dongmo and Chunfeng following them in the shadows.

It was already dark by now, and there were few pedestrians on the street. Even those who were walking hurriedly. Du Mingxian and Ling Silang were not out of place, and they were walking quite fast as well.

"I'm quite curious. I heard that Su'an is the most likely person for the Dharva to become the new king. His sister is a princess, after all. How could she be so stupid as to betray her own brother for a man?"

This is the point that Du Mingxian can't understand the most: even the best relationship can't overcome blood ties.

If Su'an becomes the new king, then his sister is the most noble princess. She could have any man she wanted. Why would she have to harm her own brother for the sake of one man?

Are children raised in royal courts really that naive and foolish?

She didn't believe it.

"There are all kinds of people in this world, but we can't rule out the possibility that this story is fake."

Du Mingxian thought of Guo Miaomiao's expression when she said that, "It shouldn't be. I thought Miaomiao was quite serious when she said that."

"Then let's make contact in person first, and we can't say for sure about other things."

The two walked quite quickly, and it was already very late when they reached the west side of the city. Du Mingxian went up and knocked on the door. In the quiet night, the noise seemed a bit loud, but soon there was a commotion in the courtyard.

"Who is it?" Guo Miaomiao's wary voice came from behind.

Du Mingxian quickly spoke up, "Miaomiao, it's me."

The footsteps inside became lighter and faster.

The door opened, and Guo Miaomiao invited them inside. The courtyard was dark, with only the room lit.

"Let's talk inside."

The group went inside. The room was very simple. Du Mingxian only glanced at it and didn't look at it much. "Miaomiao, we've come to take your pulse."
