Liu Yi’s eyes were full of pa.s.sion as he chuckled and said, “Miss Qin Yun, I’ll send you back.”
Qin Yun raised her eyes to look at Liu Yi before shyly lowering her head again to hide the joy that flashed in her eyes. “Alright, I’ll have to trouble you.”
On the other hand, Gu Qingxue was eavesdropping outside the door. She was relieved to hear that the two of them were progressing so smoothly, then she quickened her pace and left.
They walked toward the courtyard where the study was located. Before entering the courtyard, Gu Qingxue nodded to the hidden guard, then stood in front of the study.
Before she could knock on the door, Rong Zhan’s voice came from inside, “Come in.”
Gu Qingxue pushed the door open and saw Rong Zhan reading a book on the soft couch.
Rong Zhan was dressed in a long robe today, and his lazy expression looked less cold than usual.
“Your Royal Highness seems to be in good spirits. It seems that the pill I gave you before had an effect,” Gu Qingxue said with a faint smile.
The corners of Rong Zhan’s lips twitched. He suddenly recalled how excited he was the day he took the pill.
“The pill you gave me did make me feel much better. Qingxue, you’ve put in so much effort, I have to think of a way to help you.” Rong Zhan also looked at Gu Qingxue meaningfully.
Rong Zhan’s gaze was so deep that it seemed to be able to see through Gu Qingxue, causing her body to tremble. She lowered her head to hide the look that flashed in her eyes.
Rong Zhan smiled without saying a word, only looking at Gu Qingxue with a deep gaze,
“Your Royal Highness, why have you called me here?” In the end, Gu Qingxue could not bear the silent and oppressive atmosphere anymore. She smiled and looked at Rong Zhan.
Rong Zhan’s expression remained the same as usual, and he finally retracted his meaningful gaze. “I’ve heard about little princess’s situation in the Southern Border. From the looks of it, you seem to have already made up your mind to help.
“I’m helping the little princess not only for the favor but also for myself.” Gu Qingxue’s voice was calm as mist swirled around her.
“Why do you say so?” Rong Zhan took in every expression on Gu Qingxue’s face and asked in a calm tone.
Gu Qingxue thought for a moment before answering, “Your Royal Highness might not know, but my grandmother did not become a fool because of her health. She has been poisoned.”
“Oh?” Rong Zhan raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Do you know who poisoned your grandmother? ‘
Gu Qingxue shook her head, a heavy look in her eyes. “So far, that person has not given himself away. However, it doesn’t matter even if that person is currently hiding very well. The most important thing now is to find a way to cure my grandmother of the poison as soon as possible. As long as the poison is removed, there will always be suspicious targets after my grandmother regains consciousness. The person who poisoned my grandmother behind her back will also not be able to hold back.”
“l can help you investigate this matter. But up until now, your grandmother’s condition does not look very good. It can be seen that the poison in your grandmother’s body should be more troublesome than 1 thought.” Rong Zhan’s gaze shifted and landed on Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue let out a long sigh. “Your Royal Highness is right. I’ve actually tried to detoxify the poison in my grandmother’s body before. It was effective at first, but it didn’t last long. Recently, my grandmother’s condition hasn’t improved. In fact, it’s even showing signs of deterioration. I have no other way to deal with this. That’s why I suspect that the poison in my grandmother’s body might be a poison that even I don’t know about. And so far, the only poison that I have no way of dealing with is the Gu Poison..”
