Chapter 1404 - 1404 Not Extra
1404 Not Extra
The King had a rash on his face, and the cream from Gu Chaoyan seemed to work well. That was why he felt quite assured while he was waiting for the new cream to be made.
However, the cream suddenly became ineffective so the King was throwing his temper in Qianqing Palace. He had smashed almost everything, and the servants were all having a hard time.
That was why he hurried to ask about the cream. Gu Chaoyan had been living in court for a few days so the cream should have been done by this point.
De Fu trusted her for that.
Sword One looked very calm, compared to De Fu.
She said quietly as she looked at De Fu, “Chief De Fu, the cream is not yet done.”
“…”
“We ate cold food given by the servants during lunchtime, so Elder Miss is lying in bed after eating it. There are no braziers or thick blankets, and Elder Miss must have fallen ill. Sorry, I am fetching some hot water from the kitchen so that she can get better.”
“…”
“The cream might not be available for another few days. Our Elder Miss can’t even get out of bed.” Sword One looked helpless. “The King invited us in, so you can’t be this unprepared, right?”
Sick? Unable to get up? No cream?
De Fu’s face twisted.
If Gu Chaoyan said that there was no cream, then there would be none. He did not suspect that, because Gu Chaoyan was a very strange person.
And at this moment, he suddenly realized what was going on.
No wonder when he reminded Gu Chaoyan and her maid back at Xinlin Mansion, they did not care about his reminder. They had already prepared enough counter measures for what might happen.
Gu Chaoyan did not even care about the King, so she was countering him!
It seemed that the King failed to punish this girl but had to suffer himself.
De Fu could not help but sigh emotionally.
He thought for a while and said to the eunuch behind him. “What are you staring at? Did you hear that? Have hot food prepared for Lady Chaoyan, and some warm water too. If anything happens to her, you are responsible!”
Those eunuchs rushed away quickly and went down to business.
When everything was settled, De Fu showed a flattering smile. “Miss. Sword One, can you ask your Elder Miss to give us some medical cream, otherwise I don’t know what to say to the King.”
Sword One shrugged and instead of answering him said, “I will ask Elder Miss.”
De Fu nodded and waited outside.
Soon Sword One came out.
She looked at De Fu calmly. “Chief De Fu, Elder Miss says that the cream was the last bottle left, there is no more.”
