140 I Always Feel That the Royal Highness Treats Lady Gu Differently!
Ji Yan hurriedly bowed and apologized, “Not yet. Please rest assured, Master. I will send it now.”
“No need. Keep it and send it to Gu Qingxue tomorrow.” Rong Zhan waved his hand. “You may leave.”
Ji Yan walked out of the room in a daze. He did not come back to his senses until he stepped out of the gates of the Bitang Residence.
“Ji Yan!” Liu Yi called out to Ji Yan. Seeing that he was in a daze, he advised, “If it wasn’t for Lady Gu’s help today, there will be a huge change. It is reasonable for the prince to be angry. It is also reasonable for you to be punished…”
“We are not punished.” Ji Yan interrupted Liu Yi.
Liu Yi was surprised. “How is this possible?”
The young prince was Rong Zhan’s life. This time, the young prince was almost killed. Rong Zhan should be furious.
Ji Yan said, “I don’t know either. We thought that I would at least receive dozens of beatings this time. I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t have to be punished. His Royal Highness only said that it shouldn’t happen again, and then he let me out.”
“Are you sure that’s all His Royal Highness said?” Liu Yi still could not believe it.
Ji Yan recalled for a moment. “Other than that, His Royal Highness only allowed the coiling soul needle to be given to Lady Gu. He even mentioned something about ‘love me, love my dog’. His Royal Highness knew that I hadn’t read many books, but he still used idioms to make things difficult for me.”
Liu Yi narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, “This Lady Gu is really a strange person.”
“Who isn’t? Moreover, I always feel that the Royal Highness treats Lady Gu differently!” Ji Yan lowered his voice and said.
Liu Yi raised his hand and slapped Ji Yan on the head, “Don’t spout nonsense. Otherwise, if the Royal Highness finds out, you won’t be able to escape.”
Ji Yan rubbed his head and smiled happily. “In short, I managed to escape this time. In the future, we must be on guard. Such a thing can not happen again.”
Liu Yi nodded. “Don’t forget to tell our brothers that in the future, Lady Gu can enter the prince regent’s manor as she pleases. Don’t block her path recklessly.”
Ji Yan nodded and left with Liu Yi.
Time flew by. The next day, at the imperial duke’s manor…
Gu Qingxue came to visit early in the morning to help Madam Qiao straighten her bones, and perform acupuncture, moxibustion, and massage. She worked for a full hour and a half.
The room was still filled with the scent of moxibustion. Gu Qingxue’s small hands kept massaging Madam Qiao’s back. She was so busy that her forehead was covered in sweat. Finally, when Madam Qiao was about to fall asleep, she stopped what she was doing.
Gu Qingxue let out a long sigh of relief. She raised her hand and patted Qiao’s back. “Madam, it’s over.”
Madam Qiao snorted lightly and said with a dark and sleepy look, “Thank you for your trouble, Miss Gu. Your skills are really amazing. I’m about to fall asleep comfortably.”
“Madam, you can rest for a while. Taking a nap for an hour will be more beneficial to your recovery,” Gu Qingxue advised gently.
Madam Qiao felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. She felt as if her brain was going to collapse. “Qiu Yan, take good care of the Eldest Miss while I’m resting.”
“Yes, your servant will do as you say.” Qiu Yan stepped forward to cover Madam Qiao with the quilt. When she saw that Madam Qiao was already asleep, she could not help but sigh, “Miss Gu is really the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. The Madam has serious cervical spondylosis and often can not sleep at night. Even if she falls asleep, she often needs two hours. Such a situation where she falls asleep just after closing her eyes is unprecedented.”
Gu Qingxue took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She could not help but smile, “Miss Qiu Yan, you flatter me. Let’s go out first so as not to disturb the Madam’s sleep.”
“Yes, then please go to the front hall to rest. The tea is ready.” Qiu Yan was full of smiles. As she spoke, she led Gu Qingxue out of the room.
