Chapter 635: Turning a Blind Eye
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You’re my doctor. Without my permission, no one can touch you,” Rong Zhan said nonchalantly.
Gu Qingxue’s heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably. She cleared her throat and changed the topic. “Your Royal Highness, how much do you know about Gu Lingyue? Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Madam Dan had been used as a shield by Prince Heng. I don’t think Madam Dan is that stupid, and the plan this time was planned by Gu Lingyue. Where did she get such ability?”
If Gu Lingyue had such a merciless heart, Madam Kou would not have been in charge of the Gu family all this time.
It was impossible for a person to change so much in such a short period of time. However, it was a different story if someone was giving Gu Lingyue advice from behind the scenes.
“I understand what you mean. I’ve also sent people to investigate Gu Lingyue. However, we haven’t found any useful information yet,” Rong Zhan said.
Gu Qingxue looked at Rong Zhan and asked, “Your Royal Highness, now that there’s no princess consort in the palace, does that mean that there’s no one to restrain Gu Lingyue?”
A large part of the reason why Gu Lingyue had made Madam Dan her scapegoat this time was that a princess consort like Madam Dan was too much of an eyesore to her, a concubine.
“As far as I know, Madam Dan has no right to speak in the Residence for a long time. Gu Lingyue has already become the head of the residence. Now, without Madam Dan, she’ll definitely be more unscrupulous,” Rong Zhan said slowly. “Prince Heng dotes on Gu Lingyue so much. He might pay the price for this in the future. We just need to wait and see.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, the carriage came to a stop.
She got out of the car and realized that they had already arrived at the Gu residence. Gu Qingxue bade Rong Zhan goodbye and got out of the car.
Looking at Gu Qingxue’s disappointed back, Rong Zhan’s heart was filled with inexplicable emotion. He only retracted his gaze after Gu Qingxue entered the room.
“Liu Yi, where’s Gu Lingyue?” Rong Zhan asked with a cold look.
“Your Royal Highness, Gu Lingyue has already bribed someone and used Prince Heng’s spy in the palace to leave the palace. Looking at the time, she should have already returned to the residence.” Liu Yi continued slowly, “In order to protect Gu Lingyue, Prince Heng sent out a large number of men. We followed Your Royal Highness’ orders not to alert the enemy, so we didn’t kill Gu Lingyue.”
Prince Heng has been bewitched by Gu Lingyue. There must be something fishy about this. Rather than making a move to attract His Majesty’s suspicion, it’s better to wait and see. Rong Zhan said coldly.
Liu Yi was a little worried. “I think that His Majesty knows that Prince Heng pushed Madam Dan out as a shield. It’s just that His Majesty doesn’t want to lose control of Prince Heng and still wants him to control Your Royal Highness. That’s why he turned a blind eye and pretend that he didn’t understand.”
“His Majesty has always been good at weighing things out.” As soon as Rong Zhan finished speaking, he asked Liu Yi to drive the car away from the Gu residence.
Within Prince Heng’s residence…
In the main hall, Prince Heng was pacing back and forth anxiously until he saw the butler of the royal family rushing in.
Prince Heng’s eyes lit up. He looked at the housekeeper and asked, “Has Yue’er returned?”
The butler shook his head and carefully reported to Prince Heng, “Reporting to Your Highness, it’s the princess consort’s maiden family. They have doubts about the matter of poisoning the noble consort and said that they must find
Your Highness to ask clearly….”
