The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again!

417 We Can Make a Big Deal Out of the Plague

Rong Zhan’s hand stopped just a hair’s breadth away from Gu Qingxue and did not continue moving forward.

At this moment, Rong Zhan clearly felt a sharp gaze from afar.

Rong Zhan immediately looked at the owner of the gaze expressionlessly and happened to see a figure behind the railing of the corner tower not far away.

It was a man in a white robe. He wore a wide hat on his head that covered most of his face, only revealing his tightly pursed thin lips and a firm chin.

The white-robed man’s aura was extremely cold, but he stood still in the cold wind.

Seeing that Rong Zhan was standing still, Gu Qingxue curiously followed his gaze. However, before she could see clearly, Rong Zhan blocked her view.

He raised his hand in front of Gu Qingxue and blocked her view. He reminded her, “Stay by my side and don’t look around, in case you attract trouble.”

Gu Qingxue did not understand.

She was just casually looking around, and it actually attracted trouble?

However, seeing Rong Zhan’s serious face and the fact that it was her first time in the palace, she did not argue with him and lowered her head obediently.

Rong Zhan also looked away and led Gu Qingxue toward the imperial study.

The man in the white robe had yet to leave from the corner tower. He stared at Gu Qingxue’s back as she left, the complicated feelings in his heart unable to be described with words.

The white-robed man was a little puzzled as he reached out to hold the railing tightly.

“Your Highness, are you looking at the woman beside the prince regent?” Behind the white-robed man, his personal guard walked over. He looked at Gu Qingxue for confirmation and said, “Your Highness, you may not know this, but the plague near Qingyuan Town was discovered and cured by that woman. Thanks to her, the plague didn’t spread too far, so the emperor would naturally reward her. ”

“Yes, I know.” The white-robed man looked deeply at Gu Qingxue’s back as she left, then retracted his gaze.

Du Sheng was a little surprised. He had never seen His Highness care so much about any woman.

“If Your Highness is interested, I can investigate the female doctor again.” Before Du Sheng could finish his sentence, he felt a change in the aura around the white-robed man.

“Don’t meddle in other people’s business,” The white-robed man’s aura was like a mountain pressing down on him, making Du Sheng almost breathless in an instant. His feet swayed and his body knelt down uncontrollably.

Du Sheng broke out in a cold sweat, “I also felt that Your Highness was curious, so I wanted to satisfy Your Highness’s wish. Furthermore, if that woman had not cured the plague, we might have been able to make use of the plague to make a big deal out of it…”

“Don’t let me hear you have any thoughts about her in the future. Tell our men that no one is to touch Gu Qingxue.” The white-robed man’s tone was unquestionable, and his attitude was extremely unyielding.

He lowered his head and agreed respectfully.

The white-robed man did not continue to argue with Du Sheng. Instead, he walked away in large strides.

After the white-robed man left, Du Sheng finally heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the ground with weak legs.

He was really frightened just now.

His Highness’ temper had always been strange. This time, on this diplomatic mission to the neighboring country, he had disappeared for a period of time and suddenly reappeared after a while. His personality had become even more elusive than before.

Du Sheng had no idea what had happened to His Highness. He only knew that he could not disobey His Highness’ orders, so he left in a hurry and ordered his subordinates not to lay a hand on the female doctor named Gu Qingxue.
