Zhou Ying spoke up. “The Third Prince has arranged to have that scholar held at his manor. If you need him, you can tell me in advance.”

“Sure. By the way, why did you two follow the Third Prince back to the capital?”

“The sweet potatoes were originally planted with seeds we dug up from the mountains. Therefore, we returned to the capital to receive a reward.”

Yang Wanning’s eyes lit up after hearing that, but she did not ask any more questions.

Coincidentally, Gu Chengrui walked in, so Yang Wanning stood up and said, “Cousin, cousin sister-in-law, I’ll have to trouble you to thank the Third Prince on my behalf. I’ll need to return home now.

“We’ll contact each other again at a later date.”

“The injury on your head is quite severe. Can you just go back?” Gu Chengrui asked.

“Even if I can’t, I have to. If I don’t go back now, rumours might spread.”

“I’ll give you some medicine for you to bring back. Remember to change your bandages frequently when you return home.” When Gu Chengrui heard her say that, he did not try to persuade her to stay. Instead, he returned to his room to get a medicine bottle and handed it to her.

“You’re a doctor now?” Yang Wanning asked after taking the bottle of medicine.

“Yes, after returning to my hometown, I was forced to make a living and chose to become a doctor.”

“That’s great to hear. Alright, I’ll take my leave.”

“I’ll send you back.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he brought her out.

He found his horse carriage and sent her back to her residence.

After they left, Zhou Ying turned around and went back to the bedroom. She lay down and stretched before falling asleep.

When Gu Chengrui returned, she was already asleep and snoring.

He tried not to disturb her, seeing that she had fallen into a deep sleep. Instead, he took a blanket and napped on the soft couch at the side.

On the other side, the Third Prince had changed his clothes and was just in time for the Emperor’s mealtime after entering the palace.

When the Emperor saw him enter, he immediately waved his hand and beckoned him over, saying, “Great that you came at such a nice time. Come, accompany me for a meal.”

“Yes, Father.” After the Third Prince finished speaking, he walked over and ate with him.

After the meal, the Emperor asked, “Did the journey go smoothly?”

The Third Prince hesitated for a moment before deciding to say it.

He wanted to paint a target on the person behind the scenes.

He also wanted to let the Emperor know that someone couldn’t wait to take his life and was thinking about the throne under him.

“It’s alright,” he said. “1 just encountered something strange when 1 pa.s.sed by the canyon.”

“Strange, how strange?”

“I was afraid of being ambushed, so 1 set up camp near the canyon one night.

“At night, a low flute whistled as two venomous snakes crawled into my tent.

“If Gu Chengrui hadn’t woken up to drink a gla.s.s of water that night, we would have been bitten and died to those snakes.”

“Venomous snakes?” The Emperor was furious after hearing this.

If he remembered correctly, only a few people in the southwest knew such snake-taming techniques.

Southwest…

Could it be his eldest son?

But what if…

“Do you know who did it?” he asked.

“I’m not sure. I didn’t catch anyone.” The Third Prince shook his head.

The Emperor nodded after hearing this. “You’re not young anymore. I’ll arrange a small consort selection banquet in three days. You and your brothers can decide on your main consorts then.

“At the same time, you and your uncle will be rewarded according to your achievements.”

“Thank you, Father. 1 will heed your arrangements. Oh, right. Will the Gu husband and wife come together?” The Third Prince asked.

“How’s the situation with the Gu family now?” The Emperor asked.

The Third Prince knew the Emperor had people in Yunhe County, so he did not hide anything. He also added in and told him about the general situation of the Gu family.

“I didn’t expect them to be this capable. Also, 1 heard that the Gu family’s third son and his wife have a manor and restaurant under them, right?” The Emperor asked..
