877 Concealment (6)
Luo Tan glared at that person, but when she saw his face clearly, she was suddenly stunned and said in a daze, “Doctor Gao?”
The young man squatting on the lake with a pink lantern in his hand and looking at her with a smile was Gao Yang. It was such a cold day, but he was still in the mood to gently fan himself with his folding fan.
“Why are you here?” Luo Tan couldn’t help but ask.
Gao Yang smiled and did not speak.
!!
Luo Tan muttered in her heart. Could it be that he was treating patients in such a remote place? She asked, “Doctor Gao, are you coming all the way here to treat people? Is the money given by the imperial court very little so that you have to moonlight as a country doctor? Why are you working so hard?” Her words were filled with sympathy.
Gao Yang laughed out loud. After a while, he said, “It’s not what you think.”
Luo Tan looked at him. “Then why are you here?”
Gao Yang stared at her calmly. “Why are you here?”
“Me?” Luo Tan said matter-of-factly, “I’m accompanying my little cousin to the Daliang Dynasty.”
Gao Yang pretended to look surprised and said, “Oh, I met someone a few days ago. He seemed to have come out of the Shen family. He brought a letter to Princess Consort Rui, but he didn’t know where she was and asked me for directions.”
Luo Tan was shocked. “Did you take him to see my little cousin?”
Gao Yang shrugged. “No. I saw that he was travel-worn and very tired, so I let him rest first. We’ll go to see her when he’s rested enough.”
Luo Tan heaved a sigh of relief, then became nervous. “Doctor Gao, don’t let that person see Princess Consort Rui.”
“Why?”
“… He’s a bad person,” Luo Tan said. “He wants to frame me! Please don’t.”
Gao Yang smiled. “Frame you? Frame you for sneaking into the wedding procession and going to the Daliang Dynasty?”
“You…” After saying “you” a few times, Luo Tan stared at Gao Yang and was speechless.
“What should I do?” Gao Yang looked a little conflicted. “If I take this person to see Princess Consort Rui, you would be sent back to the capital immediately.”
Luo Tan blurted out, “No!” It was not easy for her to follow the procession for so long and sleep with those rough men for a month, but all her efforts were about to be in vain at this moment. She was indignant! She looked at Gao Yang determinedly. “What should I do to make you keep it a secret for me?”
Gao Yang said, “That’s the right attitude. If you had said that earlier, I wouldn’t have wasted my time with you.”
Luo Tan was speechless.
Why did she feel that Gao Yang had been waiting for her to say this all along?
“What do you want me to do?” Luo Tan asked.
Gao Yang glanced at her and said, “Come out first.”
Only then did Luo Tan remember that she was still in the water, talking to Gao Yang. Although her body could not be seen, she still felt embarrassed and her cheeks turned red. Fortunately, it was dark now, so Gao Yang could not notice.
She said, “My clothes are all wet. I can’t get out of the water. Help me find some clothes.” Just now, in order to hide, she grabbed all her clothes and dove into the water.
Gao Yang thought for a moment and started to take off his clothes. Luo Tan was shocked. “What do you want to do?”
Gao Yang took off his clothes and slowly handed them to her. “I’m just giving you some clothes to wear. What are you thinking?”
“Turn around!” Luo Tan felt that Gao Yang was especially annoying today. If she bickered with him, she would only embarrass herself.
Gao Yang turned around and said, “There’s nothing to see anyway.”
Luo Tan did not hear this. She came out of the water and hid behind a rock. She quickly put on Gao Yang’s clothes. Gao Yang’s clothes were a little too big for her, but she couldn’t care less now.
After putting it on, Luo Tan said to Gao Yang, “You can turn around now.”
Only then did Gao Yang turn around with a smile.
“Tell me, what are your conditions to keep it a secret?” Luo Tan asked.
“How have you slept these past few days?” Gao Yang asked a question.
“I’ve been sleeping with everyone,” Luo Tan replied matter-of-factly.
“You’ll sleep in my room from now on.”
“Why should I?” Luo Tan was angry. “Men and women shouldn’t be too close!”
“Are you a woman?” Gao Yang smiled.
“I’m not a woman, and you’re not a man either,” Luo Tan immediately retorted.
Gao Yang said faintly, “The person who came to deliver the letter is still in my room…”
“Sleep, sleep, sleep!” Luo Tan quickly said, “I’ll go to sleep in your room immediately!”
Gao Yang waved his fan and left, followed by Luo Tan.
Why did she feel that Gao Yang seemed to have changed into a different person from a pushover.
It was as if he had revealed his true nature.
