Chapter 123: Wasn’t It For the Future Princess Consort? Why Was it Given to Lady Gu?
After dinner, Rong Zhan sat in the dining room drinking tea.
Liu Yi stood at the side, and he served Rong Zhan tea. “Master, I’ve already ordered people to investigate. Lady Gu’s three children were indeed taken out of the city by her maidservants this morning. They said that they were going to a small manor outside the city to play and would only return after two or three days.”
“She actually didn’t go with them,” Rong Zhan said.
“This subordinate also finds it strange. Lady Gu also seems to be worried about the safety of her three children. She especially asked her maidservants to invite the escorts of the escort company to accompany them to protect them. I think there shouldn’t be any danger,” said Liu Yi.
Rong Zhan asked, “How’s the situation with the wife of Imperial Duke Zhan?”
Liu Yi continued, “This subordinate has also gone to inquire. The people of the imperial duke’s manor said that Lady Gu sent someone to deliver a letter. They said that she had an urgent matter and would come back to treat her illness in two days. The imperial duke’s wife is very fond of Lady Gu, so she agreed to her request.”
“Her urgent matter is to come to my residence to take my pulse.” Rong Zhan narrowed his eyes and said.
“This subordinate is also puzzled. She only needs to take your pulse three times a day. Lady Gu is completely free to treat the imperial duke’s wife’s illness. There is no need for her to stay out all night,” Liu Yi said.
“She is indeed abnormal today. She was not like this before.” Rong Zhan continued thoughtfully, “Liu Yi, you said that a woman is abnormal in taking care of a man. Is there no reason for it?”
Liu Yi thought carefully and could not understand the hidden meaning of his master’s words. “This… what reason could there be?”
Rong Zhan continued to remind him, “She could not care about her own matters and was in a hurry to build a good relationship with Han’er. She even personally cooked for us father and son and put food in my bowl. Is there no reason for that?”
The more Liu Yi listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He looked at Rong Zhan probingly and asked, “Royal Highness, do you mean that Lady Gu has feelings for you?”
When Rong Zhan heard the answer he wanted, he casually put down the Teacup in his hand. “Otherwise, there would be no other reason.”
Liu Yi thought for a moment, he felt that what the Royal Highness said seemed to be somewhat reasonable. “If the Royal Highness didn’t mention it, this subordinate would have been stupid enough not to think of this. Speaking of which, Lady Gu is a good candidate. This is the first time this subordinate has seen the young prince like someone other than your highness so much.”
“I have no intention of romantic love,” Rong Zhan said coldly.
Hearing this, Liu Yi could not help but feel a little regretful.
Actually, Lady Gu was also quite good. She was beautiful, kind, and skilled in medicine. The young prince also liked her. In addition, the prince did not seem to reject her appearance.
It was a pity that their prince had no intention of romantic love!
Rong Zhan followed closely and said, “She is taking Han’er to bathe and change his clothes. Go and get someone to deliver the phoenix immortal dress that the empress dowager had previously bestowed upon her.”
Liu Yi was stunned. He watched as Rong Zhan stood up and left after saying this.
It was not until Rong Zhan was far away that Liu Yi scratched his head in bewilderment. “Wasn’t the phoenix dress bestowed upon her by the empress dowager for the future princess consort? Why did the Royal Highness give It to Lady Gu?”
Liu Yi could not understand. However, he still did as he was told and sent a maid to deliver the dress to Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue did not know the origin of the dress, but she felt that the red dress was expensive. It looked like the sunset was on her body, so beautiful that it could not be described with words.
Rong Han looked at Gu Qingxue excitedly, clapping her hands and praising, “The fairy is so beautiful!”
“You’re the sweetest one. Let’s go, I’ll take you to your room to rest.” Gu Qingxue carried Rong Han and smoothly arrived at the courtyard where he lived under his guidance.
