253 Realized She Had Held the Book Upside Down

Gu Qingxue then lowered her head to take a look. She was surprised to find that she had taken the book upside down!

Her face flushed with shame. Gu Qingxue quickly turned the book in her hand around and cleared her throat awkwardly. “It was just a mistake in my busy schedule. Is there anything else, Your Royal Highness?”

Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue’s actions and was in a good mood. “I heard that Miss Gu has taken good care of Yu’er. I’m here to ask about her condition.”

Yu’er?

Gu Qingxue was puzzled for a moment before she realized that the Yu’er that Rong Zhan had mentioned was probably the Miss that she had diagnosed today.

Yu’er.

That was a very affectionate way of addressing her.

“The Miss is fine. I’ll start the treatment in the future. I won’t trouble Your Royal Highness to take care of her.” Gu Qingxue ignored the stifling feeling in her heart and turned her head away. She was not even willing to take a glance at Rong Zhan.

Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue’s awkward expression and suddenly thought that this might be the jealousy he had mentioned to him before.

He had always thought that it was troublesome for women to be jealous of each other. However, when Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue at this moment, he did not feel that it was troublesome. Instead, he seemed to enjoy this feeling.

“Lil’ Han has always missed his aunt. Please take care of her, Miss Gu,” Rong Zhan reminded her.

Gu Qingxue nodded perfunctorily at first, but she immediately understood what was going on. “What did you say? His aunt?”

That Miss was not Han’er’s mother, but his aunt?

So that meant that Miss was Rong Zhan’s sister!?

“Yu’er was the daughter of my great-uncle. After my great-uncle’s family sacrificed their lives for the country, the emperor took Yu’er as his adopted daughter, and Han’er also changed her way of addressing her as an aunt.” Rong Zhan’s lips curled into a curve that he himself had not noticed, he looked at Gu Qingxue and asked, “Miss Gu, you’re so surprised. Did you misunderstand Yu’er’s identity?”

“I, I didn’t,” Gu Qingxue said, but she could clearly feel the haze in her heart disappear like a cloud.

She thought carefully and did remember that there was a sixth princess in the dynasty, who was not the emperor’s biological daughter. She was the only daughter of the great general of the palace. The great general of the harem and his beloved wife had sacrificed their lives for the country. The emperor could not bear to leave her alone, so he took her in as his adopted daughter and raised her by the empress dowager’s side from a young age. She was doted on by the emperor.

Rong Zhan’s biological mother was the only younger sister of the great general of the palace. Unfortunately, she died young.

In this way, the sixth princess was really Rong Zhan’s biological cousin.

Only then did she realize how big of a misunderstanding she had created. Gu Qingxue used the ancient book to cover her face. She simply could not face Rong Zhan.

She was too embarrassed!

Just as Gu Qingxue was feeling embarrassed, Rong Zhan came closer to her step by step. He actually reached her in just a few steps.

By the time Gu Qingxue raised her hand to find the person who had come, there was already no way for her to escape.

“Your Royal Highness, you’re too close.” Gu Qingxue took a step back. Her back immediately pressed against the low table behind her. There was no way for her to retreat.

Before Gu Qingxue could dodge to the sides, Rong Zhan took advantage of her unsteady steps and grabbed her waist, forcing her to ask, “Who do you think Yu’er is to me?”

Rong Zhan’s deep voice rang in her ears, making Gu Qingxue’s heart beat faster. She used the book in her hand to press against Rong Zhan’s chest, preventing him from getting closer. “Your Royal Highness, you’re not following the rules.”

“Gu Qingxue, you’re jealous,” Rong Zhan said confidently.

“I’m not!” Gu Qingxue denied it subconsciously but happened to meet Rong Zhan’s smiling eyes.
