<h4>Chapter 539: With Me</h4>


    Sword One had just walked in with water to let her Miss wash up.


    Hearing what Gu Chaoyan asked, she got everything in ce and answered. “She left before dawn broke. She said nothing, but she did not look right. Lord has gotten someone to keep track of her, making sure that no idents ur to her. As for the rest, she has to get through it herself.”


    Gu Chaoyan sighed – there was nothing else she could do.


    She got up and Sword One dressed her quickly. They ate some simple breakfast, then Gu Chaoyan started to feel their pulse again. Some more people were allowed to go into the city today.


    Gu Chaoyan also had a slight cough as she was feeling their pulses.


    Zhou Huaijin, who had been helping with medicine serving, came running when hearing the cough. “Are you alright? I think you should go back to the mansion tomorrow, it is not very warm inside the tents. You are afraid of the cold, you wouldn’t make it.”


    Then he felt Gu Chaoyan’s forehead, feeling slightly assured when her temperature wasn’t that high.


    Gu Chaoyan looked at him helplessly. “I am fine, I am a doctor and I know clearly if I am sick or not. I just coughed and it was apletely normal cough, not because I am sick.”


    Gu Chaoyan did not think that she was feeling terrible.


    “You can’t feel it yourself, let Yuanxiang check.” Zhou Huaijin was still worried.


    Gu Chaoyan could not say no to that, so she had to stop what she was doing and let Yuanxiang feel her pulse.


    Yuanxiang smiled after finishing the job. “She is fine, she is not getting a cold.”


    Zhou Huaijin let out a sigh of relief, as Gu Chaoyan threw a scolding look at him.


    Zhou Huaijin continued to make the medicine, and Gu Chaoyan continued to feel the pulses.


    A couple of hourster, she was done with the work.


    Thirty people werepletely cured, who were brought into the city by Sword Two. The others stayed and continued with the medicine.


    Zhou Huaijin also left since he had other work to do.


    Gu Chaoyan took a small break as she sat on her own.


    Xiao Jin mustered up and came to Gu Chaoyan. “Lady Chaoyan, I would like to be at your service. I have no parents, and I will work for you devotedly as long as you need me.”


    Gu Chaoyan looked up at him.


    “Xiao Jin?” Gu Chaoyan did remember him. This man swore that he was not walking into the capital as long as Lord Ling was inside. Gu Chaoyan smiled. “But you told me you aren’t going into the capital, how can you serve me if you don’t want to be in the capital?”


    Xiao Jin panicked. That was not what he had expected. What he wanted was to be at Lady Chaoyan’s service!


    “I am joking with you! You can be at my service, but I need people to use. You can help around here and we will see what we can do in the future, alright?” Gu Chaoyan asked.


    “Sure!” Xiao Jin nodded.


    Gu Chaoyan asked him to continue with his work.


    Xiao Jin was a very smart person, as she had observed. He was a great man to keep around. He could be assigned to do other work even if he was not in the capital.

    In the court.


    Zhou Huailing took Gu Ruxue into the court. Gu Ruxue’s Elder Brother said that he would like to marry the Princess.


    Zhou Huailing thought for a while…


    He could marry Princess Xunyang, Zhou Huailing thought, since he was the Phoenix Girl’s Elder Brother and was totally qualified. So he took Gu Ruxue into the court and decided to have a conversation with his father.
