“Miss Gu, are you trying to lure the snake out of its hole? Gu Lingyue is so vicious. Would she still care about the safety of her mother and younger brother?” Liu Yi asked doubtfully.
“Gu Lingyue is very dependent on Madam Kou and may not be able to let go. In short, once we find the Madam Kou, we’ll have another bargaining chip in our hands. You can take some people and give it a try,” Gu Qingxue said.
“Yes, this subordinate will bring some people over to check the situation.”
After hearing Gu Qingxue describe the exact address, Liu Yi left immediately.
Gu Qingxue pulled Rong Han and watched Liu Yi leave. After making sure that Liu Yi was far away, she bent down and patiently coaxed Rong Han, “Han’er, let’s go check on your father’s condition first, then you can go back to the palace with your aunt to rest.”
Rong Han nodded his head obediently and followed Gu Qingxue.
After returning to the side hall, Gu Qingxue checked on Rong Zhan’s condition again.
There was no sign of Rong Zhan waking up. He had fallen into a deep sleep. Other than his pale face, he did not seem to be in any condition.
However, Gu Qingxue knew that Rong Zhan’s condition was not as good as it looked. The reason why he was unconscious was because of the collision of the two poisons in his body. The poison in Rong Zhan’s body would only stop moving after she removed the Gu poison.
Since she could not tell the empress dowager that Rong Zhan had been poisoned, Gu Qingxue had no choice but to avoid the important part and focus on the trivial part. She only told the empress dowager that the poison in Rong Zhan’s body needed time to slowly be removed, which made the empress dowager feel a little more at ease.
“When will Zhan’er wake up? I’m worried about him and wanted to wait for him to wake up.” The empress dowager sat on the chair and looked at Rong Zhan from where she was. She could see his pale and bloodless face.
“We still don’t know the exact situation. We’ll have to see how His Highness recovers.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she shot Gong Lingyu a look.
Gong Lingyu quickly understood Gu Qingxue’s meaning. She took the empress dowager’s hand and advised, “Grandmother, don’t worry. Cousin is a good person and heaven will help him. He only needs time to slowly detoxify. You’ve been watching here all this time, and there’s no way for cousin to wake up quickly. Why don’t han ‘er and I accompany you to Feng Kang Palace to rest first? Han ‘er, are you tired too?”
Rong Han’s eyes were dry from the shock. He rubbed her eyes stubbornly, “Aunt, I’m fine. If the empress dowager wants to stay, then I’ll also stay and accompany my father with the empress dowager.”
“My poor Han’er. After such a big shock today, she should find a quiet Palace to rest. Let’s go Yu ‘er, we’ll take Han’er back to the palace to rest and leave the matters here to Miss Gu to handle.” The empress dowager did not care about her own health, but she was worried about Rong Han. She stood up without saying anything and wanted to leave with Rong Han.
“Farewell, Your Highness.” Atter Gu Qingxue saw the empress dowager and the others off, she heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Rong Zhan again.
She had never seen him in such a weak state. If he had not blocked her, she would be the one lying on the bed.
Rong Zhan was a smart person, so he knew what kind of pain and torture he would suffer if he was bitten by a poisonous insect. He knew that, but he still stood in front of her and Rong Han..
