240 Will She Really Become the Princess Regent in the Future?
The carriage had already left the palace. Princess Liuying stopped the carriage at a place where no one was around and gave Madam Kou a look.
Madam Kou understood and obediently got off the carriage.
Fortunately, the Gu family’s carriage had been following them ever since they left the palace. Before Madam Kou was frozen by the cold weather, the Gu family’s carriage had caught up with them.
Madam Kou quickly got into the carriage and took the soup from Gu Lingyue’s hand to warm her hands.
“Sorry, mother, we’re late. You must be freezing, right? Princess Liuying was too arrogant. Since she was cooperating with mother, what could she do if she sent her mother back to the mansion? She insisted on driving mother out of the carriage in the snow and ice!” Gu Lingyue looked at Madam Kou with heartache.
Madam Kou let out a sigh and warmed her hands. “The other party is a princess, so of course, she doesn’t look up to us. Fortunately, we’ve achieved our goal. With Princess Liuying’s help, I’m sure she won’t give Gu Qingxue a good end.”
Thinking of the letter that Gu Yi had sent back, Madam Kou still felt a lingering fear.
Gu Yi only told Madam Kou that a Young Master with extraordinary status had brought his son to Gu Qingxue for treatment. He did not know that the man who had gone to Dafu Village from the capital to look for Gu Qingxue was the prince regent.
However, ever since the incident with the Worry-relieving Gra.s.s, Madam Kou had always suspected that there was a relationship between Gu Qingxue and the prince regent. She had received the letter, heard Gu Yi’s description of Rong Zhan, and also heard that the young prince of the prince regent’s manor had been saved by a lady, so she had immediately linked everything together.
She had never thought that Gu Qingxue would have such a great ability. Not only had she hooked up with the wife of Imperial Duke Zhan, but she had also hooked up with the prince regent!
Recalling Gu Qingxue’s performance after her return, Madam Kou clearly realized that she could not let Gu Qingxue stay.
Thus, she thought of using someone else to kill her and found Princess Liuying…
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and she could finally rest a.s.sured.
“Mother, will Princess Liuying really become the princess regent in the future?” Gu Lingyue’s tone was a little sour. “I don’t think she is worthy of the prince regent at all.”
“Shh, she’s not worthy. Do you think you’re worthy? You’re already a prince’s future side consort. What you need to do is firmly grasp the prince’s heart. Don’t say such words in the future, lest you attract a fatal disaster.” Madam Kou considered this matter for a few days. After she was relieved, she could not help but feel a little tired. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Gu Lingyue pouted unhappily and could only obediently obey.
Time flew by. Five days later…
Early in the morning, Gu Qingxue came to Nine’s room.
Nine sat on the bed and watched nervously as Gu Qingxue helped him untie the bandage that was wrapped around his leg.
After more than ten days, the wound on his leg had finally healed.
Today, he wanted to see if his injured nerves had healed as smoothly as he had expected.
As long as they healed, he would only need to undergo a period of rehabilitation training to fully recover his leg.
Logically speaking, this was a matter of great importance to his future, and his attention should have been focused on his injured leg.
However, he was very close to Gu Qingxue, and his attention was sucked away uncontrollably.
Ever since he had been saved by Gu Qingxue in the cave, he had never been so close to Gu Qingxue.
She used her snow-white and soft fingers to slowly remove the bandages for him. Her long eyelashes cast a small silhouette in front of her eyes. He could even smell the unique herbal fragrance on her body.
Gu Qingxue did not notice anything amiss. Her attention was on Nine’s knee. She only let out a sigh of relief after removing all the bandages and observing the condition of the wound.
At least, she could see with her naked eyes that Nine was recovering very well.
However, she still had to observe the condition of Nine’s walking.
