171 I Was a Little Anxious, Afraid That the Prince Had Left
“Your Royal Highness.” Gu Qingxue walked forward quickly, but she stepped on the ice on the stone steps.
Her foot slipped uncontrollably. Gu Qingxue’s heart tightened, and she closed her eyes subconsciously.
The pain that she had imagined did not appear. A cold fragrance assaulted her, and then she fell into an embrace.
Gu Qingxue reached out and hugged the neck of the person in front of her. The moment Gu Qingxue opened her eyes, she met Rong Zhan’s gaze.
“Thank you, Your Royal Highness. Your Royal Highness can let go of me now,” Gu Qingxue said politely with a smile after feeling the strong arm at her waist.
Rong Zhan let go of Gu Qingxue gently. He took off the ink fox cloak and draped it over Gu Qingxue’s body.
“It’s so cold and snowy. Why aren’t you wearing a cloak?” Rong Zhan felt something on his arm.
He did not expect the woman’s body to be so delicate. It was as if her waist had been broken with just a slight break.
“I’m a little anxious. I’m afraid that Your Royal Highness will leave,” Gu Qingxue said truthfully.
She was going to leave tomorrow. If she could not give the cloak to Rong Zhan today, she would be delayed by another day tomorrow.
Rong Zhan was in a good mood when he heard that.
She was so anxious to see him that she did not even bother to put on a cloak and ran over.
As expected, she had feelings for him.
“Why are you looking for me?” Rong Zhan asked.
“It will take some time to develop the antidote. This is the medicine that I made to alleviate your pain. Your Royal Highness should drink it every morning on an empty stomach. It can temporarily ensure that you will not be tormented by your illness.” Gu Qingxue handed a bottle of medicine to Rong Zhan as she spoke.
Rong Zhan took the medicine and was in a great mood. “Alright, I will take it on time.”
“Also, I’ll return this to Your Royal Highness.” Gu Qingxue took out the jade dragon pendant and passed it to Rong Zhan, “I will be returning to Dafu Village tomorrow. When I have developed the antidote, I will instruct Liu Yi to send it back to Your Royal Highness, so I won’t need it anymore.”
She had heard from Qu Lianyu that this jade dragon pendant was an imperial gift.
She was not related to Rong Zhan, so she could not take the imperial gift. She would rather take silver.
Rong Zhan took a look at the jade dragon pendant, then pushed it slowly and returned it to Gu Qingxue. “I never take back what I gave you. If you don’t like it, you can throw it away.”
Seeing Rong Zhan turn around and leave without hesitation, Gu Qingxue looked at his back and wanted to say something.
“He dares to throw away such a precious jade pendant just like that. Seems like the prince regent is so rich that he doesn’t care about it.” As she spoke, Gu Qingxue carefully put away the jade dragon pendant.
Rong Zhan could bear to part with it, but she could not bear to part with it.
After giving away all the things that should be given to her, Gu Qingxue left the prince regent’s manor and returned to the Gu family.
After resting for a night, Gu Qingxue booked three carriages the next day. She brought Madam Qi, Nanny Sheng, and the three children to sit in the carriage at the front of the line.
Gu Lingyue stood in the dark, her eyes filled with envy as she watched the maids and servants in the Old Madam’s room move all the rewards from the imperial duke’s manor into the two carriages at the back.
More than ten mahogany chests filled the two carriages.
As the rewards were too many, Gu Qingxue specially invited the escorts from the escort company to protect them along the way.
Gu Lingyue tried her best not to let her face reveal a vicious expression.
It did not matter. As long as she waited for a period of time, these treasures would be her dowry and she would be able to marry into the royal manor with her!
Gu Qingxue was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she sent these two carriages of treasures to the largest treasure house in Jing City and stored them away.
