“She’s amazing. She clearly saw through everything, but she still had to act innocent in front of me…” As Rong Zhan spoke, his eyes did not show any signs of slowing down. Instead, his eyes were burning with pa.s.sion.
“Your Royal Highness, are you alright?” Ji Yan finally realized that there was something wrong with Rong Zhan. He felt that there was an endless amount of strength in his body.
“Ji Yun, call all the secret guards in the residence to the rear courtyard and spar with me.” As Rong Zhan spoke, he took off his long robe and put on a thin layer of clothing before heading straight to the backyard.
Ji Yan stood rooted to the ground and broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Rong Zhan’s words.
Sparring with Rong Zhan?
Usually, when they sparred with Rong Zhan, they would always be taught a lesson by Rong Zhan, not to mention that he was in high spirits today. If they sparred with him at this time, what was the difference between that and seeking death?
However, Rong Zhan’s orders could not be disobeyed. Even if Ji Yan was unwilling, he had no choice but to turn and leave. He quickly called over the other secret guards of the prince regent’s residence according to the prince regent’s instructions.
On the other side, Gu Qingxue was also heading toward the Hexiang Garden as fast as she could.
After Gu Qingxue entered the main hall of Hexiang Garden, she immediately saw Madam Qi, who was eating.
When Madam Qi saw Gu Qingxue, she immediately threw away the chopsticks and cakes in her hands and ran straight in her direction. “Xue ‘er! You’ve finally returned.”
Seeing Madam Qi’s actions, Gu Qingxue subconsciously frowned.
“Grandmother, I didn’t come to see you immediately after 1 left the palace. Are you angry?” Gu Qingxue quickly retracted the emotions in her eyes and reached out to hold the old Madam’s arm.
The Old Madam shook her head. “No, I’m not angry. Xue ‘er, I won’t be angry with you.
Gu Qingxue smiled and nodded in agreement. Then, she helped the old Madam back to her seat.
“Old Madam, how many times have 1 told you not to waste food?” On the other side, Nanny Sheng had already picked up the chopsticks and cakes Madam Qi had thrown on the ground.
“l… I didn’t do it on purpose. Why don’t we continue eating?” As Madam Qi spoke, she reached out to grab the pastry from Nanny Sheng and stuff it back into her mouth.
Gu Qingxue cried out in surprise and quickly reached out to stop Madam Qi.
“Grandmother, you can’t eat things that have fallen to the ground.”
At a loss, Madam Qi weakly retracted her hand, as if she had no idea what she had done wrong.
After taking in Madam Qi’s every move, Gu Qingxue regained her usual patient and gentle expression. She held Madam Qi’s hand and asked, “Grandmother, didn’t I remind you a long time ago that you can’t waste food at any time?”
Ever since she helped her grandmother get rid of the poison, she had been working hard with Nanny Sheng to teach her some basic principles, such as not making a loud noise, not wasting food when eating, dressing appropriately in front of outsiders, and not breaking things at will. This was not difficult for her grandmother. Ever since the poison in her body was gradually removed, she had been working hard. So far, she had never made a mistake. It was also because her grandmother’s health was getting better by the day that Nanny Sheng had been teaching her to do more things.
However, she could not even do the most basic thing of not hitting or wasting food today. It was as if her mind had returned to the previous state..
