Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Rong Xiaotian immediately issued an imperial edict to announce this matter to the world.
Soon, the news of Rong Xiaotian’s marriage spread like a gust of wind through the imperial palace and the streets of Jing City.
Everyone was surprised by the marriage between the two of them. Most people’s reaction was that Gu Qingxue had climbed up the social ladder. If she could marry the prince regent, she would become the prince regent’s princess consort. Her status would even be comparable to those concubines in the harem.
Gu Qingxue was originally the daughter of a criminal minister, and she was even a married woman. How lucky was she to be able to obtain the prince regent’s favor?
However, everyone’s discussion was quickly met with opposition. Many people also said that Gu Qingxue was indeed capable, which was why the prince regent favored her.
Everyone knew that the prince regent was second only to one person and above all others. He had seen many beautiful women, but he had never been moved by them. He only looked at Gu Qingxue in a different light. This was enough to show that Gu Qingxue was extraordinary.
Moreover, who did not know Gu Qingxue’s strength and beauty? Back then, the ninth prince of the Moyun Kingdom had fallen for her after just one look at her. How could he be an ordinary person?
No matter what, the prince regent had personally gone to the palace to ask for the emperor to bestow the marriage, which had attracted the envy of many women.
Gu Qingxue herself did not mind these discussions at all. The next day, she entered the palace and went to the imperial hospital to search for medicine in the storeroom.
This was also one of Rong Xiaotian’s graces to her. He promised her that she could enter and leave the imperial hospital at will in the future, and she could even take away any medicinal herbs she wanted.
Gu Qingxue knew very well that Rong Xiaotian was doing this so that he could use her to treat patients in the future. Since that was the case, Gu Qingxue did not have to be polite with Rong Xiaotian. She readily agreed and went to the storeroom to look for the medicinal herbs that she could use next.
Gu Qingxue found the herbs she wanted in the storeroom and left. Before she could leave the palace, she was stopped by someone.
A man in black stood in front of her and raised his hand politely. “Greetings,
Princess Consort.”
Gu Qingxue felt that the man’s voice was very familiar. She looked up at him and her heart skipped a beat.
She recognized the man in front of her.
“Young Master Peng Zhou isn’t serving His Highness the Crown Prince, so why do you have the time to block my way?” Gu Qingxue’s eyes were calm as she looked at Peng Zhou and asked.
Peng Zhou’s expression remained the same as he calmly said to Gu Qingxue, “Reporting to the princess consort, after our crown prince entered the palace today, he suddenly felt unwell, so he wanted to ask you to go over and take a look. ”
How could Gu Qingxue believe Peng Zhou’s nonsense? She raised her eyebrows with a faint smile and said slowly, “Young Master must be joking.
Since His Highness the Crown Prince is not feeling well, there will naturally be someone to treat him. Why would he need me to meddle in his business? I still have something to do, so I’ll make a move first.”
However, just as Gu Qingxue finished speaking, she saw a few young eunuchs with considerable strength appear behind Peng Zhou and her. They all maintained a certain distance from Gu Qingxue. As long as Peng Zhou gave the order, these young eunuchs would rush over immediately and harm Gu Qingxue.
After Gu Qingxue took in the scene in front of her, she did not show any panic on her face. Instead, she chuckled and said, “I’ve always heard that the crown prince is gentle and polite, but from the looks of it today, it seems that the rumors are not credible..
