196 It Seemed That She Wouldn’t Be Able to Go Back Tonight

“If you had fainted earlier, I wouldn’t have wasted my anesthetic…” Gu Qingxue grumbled unhappily. She quickly treated the man’s wounds. Before dressing his wounds, she gave him some Immortal Grass that she had prepared for Imperial Duke Zhan. it was to prevent him from becoming disabled in the future.

After doing all this, Gu Qingxue was so tired that she almost collapsed.

Gu Qingxue forced herself to take care of the small wounds on the man and herself. She took out a blanket from the research institute and covered the man with it.

She walked into the depths of the cave and changed into a set of clean clothes. Gu Qingxue walked to the front of the cave with a warmer in her hand. She looked at the sky, which had completely darkened.

“It seems that I can’t go back tonight…” Turning her head to look at the white mushrooms picked from the medicine basket, Gu Qingxue could not help but miss the three children.

While Gu Qingxue was picking mushrooms in Dajin Mountain, at the golden lake on the outskirts of Jing City…

The environment around the golden lake was beautiful, and only the noble families in Jing City could visit it.

It was now winter, and there were no boats allowed on the golden lake. There was a warm pavilion by the shore, and anyone could enjoy the rows of plum blossoms by the shore in the warm pavilion.

Under the guidance of the attendants, Rong Zhan successfully entered the warm pavilion hall.

Unlike the usual bustle, the warm pavilion was empty today. Only the faint fragrance of plum blossoms lingered in the air.

The attendant did not wait for Rong Zhan to speak and took the initiative to explain, “Today, when I learned that Your Royal Highness had personally visited, I knew that Your Royal Highness did not like noise, so I specially cleared out all the guests in the warm pavilion. Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness.”

“Where is the person the empress dowager has arranged to meet?” Rong Zhan was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the plum blossoms in the snow and asked coldly.

“The person Your Royal Highness is looking for is in the courtyard of the warm pavilion. Please, Your Royal Highness.” The attendant led Rong Zhan all the way to the courtyard.

The courtyard of the warm pavilion was also set up indoors. All year round, it was as warm as spring. The small bridge flowed with water, and the flowers bloomed.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Rong Zhan could clearly smell the fragrance of plum blossoms and tea.

He saw that in a pavilion not far away, a young girl dressed in a blue dress was brewing tea.

The young girl was as beautiful as a fairy, and her body exuded a gentle aura that was as calm as water. She did not seem to have noticed Rong Zhan’s presence. Her fair fingers picked up the teapot and poured the mellow tea into the cup.

“Your Royal Highness, this is the Princess Qing Liu that you wanted to meet.” The attendant smiled and tried his best to introduce her. “Princess Qing Liu is a top-notch tea brewing expert. The empress dowager has always liked her tea.”

“This pot of tea was originally made for the empress dowager. Since the empress dowager is unable to come, why not Your Royal Highness have a taste?” Princess Qing Liu took the initiative to invite him.

As Princess Qing Liu spoke, she did not forget to look shyly at Rong Zhan. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that the man in front of her was so handsome that it made her go crazy.

Fortunately, she was smart enough to always pretend to be obedient in front of the empress dowager. Finally, she won the opportunity to be introduced by the empress dowager to the regent prince on a blind date.

As long as she succeeded today, she would be the regent princess consort in the future.

“Where is the hairpin that the empress dowager wants?” Rong Zhan did not waver. He stood where he was and asked coldly.

“Here.” Princess Qing Liu held the hairpin in her hair and took the initiative to hold a cup of tea. She walked toward Rong Zhan, “Your Royal Highness, the empress dowager took great pains to arrange today’s meeting. Why don’t we sit down and have a cup of tea before we talk about anything else?”

Rong Zhan narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with resistance.

Princess Qing Liu pretended to trip and pounced in Rong Zhan’s direction.

Rong Zhan watched this scene coldly. Before Princess Qing Liu could touch him, he dodged her.
