160 Lady Gu Has the Jade Dragon Pendant Given By the Prince
“Miss Qu, Lady Gu has the jade dragon pendant given to her by the prince. She can teach anyone in the royal manor a lesson. Even if you tell the old prince about this, the old prince can not blame her,” Liu Yi gloated.
When Qu Lianyu heard the words ‘jade dragon pendant’, the expression on her face changed instantly. She revealed an expression of disbelief. “No, this is impossible!”
Gu Qingxue also recalled that the county magistrate had indeed brought her a high-quality jade pendant.
She felt around her sleeve and successfully found the jade pendant. “Is it this jade pendant?”
“Yes, the jade dragon on this jade pendant is naturally formed. It was gifted to the prince by the emperor back then. The prince once said that seeing this jade pendant was like him personally coming. Therefore, as long as no one is killed, Lady Gu can punish anyone in the family other than those with legitimate bloodlines,” Liu Yi explained.
“That’s impossible! Why would the prince give this to you? You don’t deserve it at all!” Qu Lianyu looked at Gu Qingxue with jealousy. She was so envious that she was about to go crazy!
“It seems that Miss Qu’s mind is not clear enough. Ji Yan, Miss Qu needs to calm down. Come and help her,” Gu Qingxue said as she glanced at the small lake not far away, hinting at Ji Yan.
Ji Yan had been displeased with Qu Lianyu for a long time. After hearing her words, he revealed a brilliant smile and rushed forward, “Miss Qu, I’m sorry!”
Ji Yan immediately lifted Qu Lianyu up, scaring her so much that she screamed like a pig being slaughtered, “You dare to touch me?! Be careful that I’ll… !”
Before Qu Lianyu could finish her words, Ji Yan had already raised his arm and threw her into the lake.
With a splash, Qu Lianyu smashed the ice on the surface of the lake and was thrown into the icy cold water.
Seeing Qu Lianyu struggling and screaming in the lake like a dying fish, Gu Qingxue withdrew her gaze in satisfaction.
Qu Lianyu had not fully recovered from the wound she had sustained when she was punished. Moreover, she had been soaked in the icy water during the winter, so even if she did not die, it was still bad for her.
Gu Qingxue was very satisfied with the result. “Let’s go and see Lil’ Han.”
“Yes, Lady Gu, this way please.” Liu Yi and Ji Yan were both very respectful. They raised their hands and made an inviting gesture to Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue calmly followed the two of them to the Bitang Residence. She gave Rong Han some medicine and made him lunch. She accompanied him to have lunch before leaving the prince regent’s manor.
Time flew by. Soon, it was Gu Qingxue’s last day of treatment for Madam Qiao.
According to the previous steps, Gu Qingxue earnestly helped Madam Qiao straighten her bones. After acupuncture and massage, she lit up a calming incense so that Madam Qiao could have a good rest.
Today was different from the past. Imperial Duke Zhan did not accompany Madam Qiao for treatment.
Recalling the pale face of Imperial Duke Zhan when she saw him yesterday, Gu Qingxue had a vague guess in her heart.
After leaving the room, Gu Qingxue asked Qiu Yan, “Miss Qiu Yan, why isn’t Imperial Duke Zhan at the residence today?”
“The morale of the army in the suburbs has been low for the past few days. The vice generals stationed at the residence asked Imperial Duke Zhan to take care of it. Imperial Duke Zhan left last night. Is Miss Gu looking for Imperial Duke Zhan for something?” Qiu Yan asked curiously.
“I’m just curious. I have something to do today, so I don’t need tea. Miss Qiu Yan, you don’t have to see me off.” After saying goodbye to Qiu Yan, Gu Qingxue quickly left the imperial duke’s manor.
As soon as Gu Qingxue left the imperial duke’s manor and walked out of the street, she saw a man driving a carriage out of a small alley on one side of the road.
