The Qilin Mountain stretched far and wide. After entering the mountain, one could feel the majesty of the peaks. Among the peaks, there were strange peaks and jagged rocks. Although it was lush and green, it also gave one a feeling of being in the wilderness.
Huarong only brought Shuxiu and Zhu Liu with her. After climbing for about two hours, Huarong felt like she was going to die. Then, she saw the Godly Doctor's mountain gate from afar.
Sweat flowed into her eyes. She was so tired that her makeup could no longer be maintained, let alone carefully look at the plaque on the mountain gate.
There was a medicine boy waiting at the side of the mountain gate. Seeing that Huarong was too tired, he went forward to help her. "Be careful, Young Master."
She stumbled into the house like a dead dog. This time, she had an invitation. The medicine boy served her well and brought her to bathe and change her clothes.
Fortunately, Shuxiu also brought a change of clothes, so she did not have to wear other people's clothes. After changing into clean clothes, Huarong personally brought the gift to the Godly Doctor.
The Godly Doctor was an old man with a white beard. Although he was old, he was full of energy. His eyes were like torches, making Huarong feel uneasy.
"Miss, you are kind and have helped the Crown Prince. This is a small token of appreciation from the Old Man." The Godly Doctor suddenly spoke, making Huarong turn pale with fright.
"You …" She was confident that she did not reveal anything. All these years, she had been wearing men's clothes. Could it be that the Godly Doctor had revealed her identity? No, it was not something to be proud of. He would not talk about it. Moreover, the Gu family had already paid him to keep his mouth shut.
The Godly Doctor saw that she was shocked and smiled. "Miss, you have the demeanor of a man. However, a woman is a woman. No matter how you pretend, you are not a man. Miss, don't panic. The Old Man has no ill intentions."
Huarong heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had met an expert.
The Godly Doctor was very warm. Huarong did not understand how he had taught Xi Shi. He was too cold.
Huarong did not dare to open the box given by the Godly Doctor. She was afraid that the Godly Doctor would think that she was being impolite. She kept it in her sleeve and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Godly Doctor."
"Go ahead." The Godly Doctor nodded with a smile.
Shuxiu and Zhu Liu came out of the Miracle Doctor's residence. A manservant appeared beside them. "Young Master Gu, the Crown Prince invites you."
"Zhenguo Gong, the Crown Prince?" Huarong asked.
"That's right. Please follow me, Young Master." The servant made an inviting gesture.
Listening to the Godly Doctor's words, it seemed that he had a relationship with Zhenguo Gong, the Crown Prince. Thinking about it, to be able to see the Godly Doctor on the mountain, Huarong felt that there was no harm in meeting the Godly Doctor.
The Godly Doctor's house was built on the side of the mountain, and there were attics in the middle of the cliff. The scenery was so pleasant that it was like a fairyland. Huarong thought that the Godly Doctor was not an ordinary person. Which ordinary person could build such exquisite attics and pavilions?
Following a small path that seemed to have been carved out by the Godly Doctor, they soon arrived at a small courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by green bamboo, and it was quiet and peaceful. "Young Master, please."
Upon entering the courtyard, they saw Xi Shi and the Crown Prince, the Zhenguo Gong, sitting opposite each other. There was a small table in the middle, and the chess game on the table had reached the end.
Beside them, tea was being brewed under a crooked pine tree. Steam kept rising from the tea.
The two of them were playing chess. Huarong wanted to watch the game without speaking, so he didn't say anything. However, the Crown Prince, the Zhenguo Gong, spoke first. "Miss Gu, please sit."
Huarong wanted to sit, but he was too tired. However, after hearing the Crown Prince's words, he couldn't sit.
Xi Shi was as still as a mountain. He wasn't surprised.
Huarong thought to himself, So everyone knows that I'm a woman.
"Miss Gu, you don't have to be afraid. You saved me, so I won't do anything to you," the Crown Prince, the Zhenguo Gong, spoke again.
Huarong sat down. "May I know why the Crown Prince has asked me to come down? If it's just to thank me, then there's no need. Saving a life is better than building a seven-floor pagoda. It's just a small matter. "
"Everyone says that the Seventh Young Master of the Gu Family is a playboy. He's a well-known hooligan in Jinling. I didn't expect him to be a woman. Even his speech and actions are gentle." The Crown Prince, the Zhenguo Gong, placed his chess piece and said to Xi Shi, "You've lost."
Xi Shi didn't care. He stood up and didn't even look at Huarong. He put his left hand behind his back and walked away.
Huarong really wanted to talk to Xi Shi, but he was too cold. She couldn't be so shameless. She had no choice but to stand up and bow to the Crown Prince, the Zhenguo Gong. "The Divine Doctor has given me the thank you gift. I'll take my leave now."
"Miss, wait." He also stood up and blocked Huarong's way.
"Crown Prince, is there anything else?"
"Miss, you saved the Crown Prince's life. As the Crown Prince, to express my gratitude, I'd like to invite you to stay here for a few days." He looked solemn and didn't seem to be lying.
However, Huarong's intuition told her that things weren't that simple. If it was just to express his gratitude, the medicine given by the Divine Doctor was more than enough. There was no need for him to ask her to stay. Moreover, he deliberately exposed that she was a woman.
"What if I insist on going back?" Huarong asked.
"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Gu."
He meant that she couldn't leave. Huarong didn't continue asking. The Gu family was a merchant family. They couldn't win against the aristocrats. "Thank you, Crown Prince. The Qilin Mountain is picturesque. It's good to stay here for a few days. But my second uncle …"
"Don't worry, Miss. I've already sent someone to inform him."
Huarong chuckled. What do you mean by informing him? He probably sent someone to order her second uncle to keep his mouth shut. She looked at the cliff outside the courtyard. This Qilin Mountain was not ordinary. Sigh, if she had known, she wouldn't have come.
Even though she knew what was going on, she had to pretend that she didn't know and stay here. Since she stayed here, Huarong knew that her life wouldn't be in danger. Neither would the Gu family. As long as they didn't spread the news, everything would be fine.
The Crown Prince of Zhenguo Gong arranged for her to stay in a mountainside with beautiful scenery. There was a gurgling stream below, and green bamboos swayed above. The courtyard was quiet and secluded. It was an excellent place to cultivate.
However, Huarong couldn't sit still. There was no entertainment in the house. If she stayed there, she would die.
Therefore, after learning that she only needed to stay on the mountain and was not allowed to leave, Huarong began to wander around.
There weren't many medicine boys on the mountain, but all of them seemed to know martial arts. Huarong saw the medicine boys leaping onto roofs and vaulting over walls with her own eyes.
Although the Gu family was rich, they couldn't attract experts to join them. Naturally, they couldn't invite experts to teach their children.
After wandering around for a few days, the medicine boys didn't stop her. She also didn't see the Crown Prince of Zhenguo Gong. After wandering around for a while, she became annoyed. Huarong tried to go down the mountain, but she still couldn't.
Hua Rong would never hold herself back unless she encountered something that would endanger the family. She decided to find something to do.
There were many cliffs on the Qilin Mountain. Huarong planned to rock climb.
When she was in college, she used to play in a rock climbing gym. Therefore, she asked Zhu Liu to find a rope and set up safety measures at the top of the mountain. Then, she began to climb.
Shuxiu was worried to death. She kept saying from below, "Miss, be careful."
Huarong ignored her and continued to climb. However, the rock wall here was different from the rock climbing gym. The cornerstone fell off unsteadily, and her whole body fell straight down.
However, she didn't panic. She had a rope on her, so she wouldn't die.
However … she thought that her waist would be strangled by the rope. She didn't expect to fall into a gentle embrace.
