Last night, Gu Qingning not only learned from Gu Changqing that Shi Min and Consort Chen were close friends, but also that their engagement had been arranged by their fathers. This revelation made her feel less wary and suspicious of Pei Zhiqing.
So, the imperial physician you asked me to find was also to retrieve the medicine for your mother? Remembering the favor she had previously asked him for, it all became clear to her in an instant.
Yes, that medicine is crucial for you. One pill alone was not a concern, but if it fell into the hands of someone unworthy, it would be a waste.
Unknowingly, a smile reappeared on Pei Zhiqing's face, and he himself did not even notice it.
You should keep this medicine. After we get married, I will check your pulse again to decide whether you need to use it. Gu Qingning's change in how she addressed Pei Zhiqing went unnoticed by her; she didn’t realize there was anything different.
Pei Zhiqing responded with a gentle smile.
The day after the imperial physician handed over the medicine, he had looked pleased and told Pei Zhiqing that it was an extremely rare remedy that would greatly benefit his condition.
So, this medicine was specifically brought back for him by Gu Qingning.
Gu Qingning glanced at Pei Zhiqing, surprised at how readily he agreed. Did the imperial physician not inform him that this medicine was beneficial for him?
I only have one pill right now; you must take good care of it, Gu Qingning urged again with concern.
As for Gu Yuxuan's illness, she had long since passed the prescription to the imperial physician to prepare the pills.
After receiving the prescription, the imperial physician did not say much and worked tirelessly for two days and nights before finally producing the medicine.
Since you are making such an effort to ensure my happiness for the rest of my life, I cannot hold you back; I agree to your conditions. A hint of a smile flickered across Pei Zhiqing's nearly pale face.
And one more thing: after I go up the mountain, find a way to get my sister Wan Ning out of the capital to recuperate in your fief.
Thinking about how her father would soon embark on another journey to the border, Gu Qingning felt an underlying anxiety within her. In this situation, the only person she could choose was Pei Zhiqing.
Sure, Pei Zhiqing replied readily.
Also, even after we are married, matters of affection cannot be forced. I hope you can understand this point.
She intended to say these words on their wedding night but thought it wasn’t a big deal and decided to mention them all at once.
Returning home, she only wanted to protect her family and had never considered how matters of affection should be handled; her marriage to Pei Zhiqing was truly a reluctant arrangement.
Pei Zhiqing's gaze was deep and inscrutable; his expression revealed no joy or anger. After a moment of silence, he spoke: We are merely in a cooperative relationship.
Gu Qingning raised her gaze to him, staring at his face for a moment. "Well, let's have a pleasant cooperation!"
She did not wish to repeat past mistakes; such a mutually beneficial relationship would allow them to protect each other for a longer time.
Watching the distant pale lotus-colored figure gradually fade from view, Pei Zhijing murmured, "Wind Blade, do you think His Highness can really live a hundred years as she said?"
"Master, I believe Miss Gu."
As long as it was what Master desired, even if it was a delusion, he firmly believed it was right.
Having followed Master for so long, he understood that Master did not care whether they could live worry-free for ninety-nine years; it was he who needed time and patience.
Pei Zhijing's gaze shifted, unsure of where it landed.
