335 Rong Zhan Was Not Someone Who Would Care About Others for No Reason

As soon as Gu Qingxue opened the door, she saw Ji Yan busying himself in the courtyard.

Ji Yan was helping Gu Qingxue clean the big pot of medicine when he heard the sound of the door opening. He turned his head to look at her. “Lady Gu, you’re up so early. I haven’t finished my preparations yet. Lady Gu, you can go back and rest for a while.”

“Looking at you, you must have been busy for a while. How can I hide alone? I’ll prepare the herbs now,” Gu Qingxue said as she glanced at Rong Zhan’s room. Before dawn, the door to his room was wide open, and he was nowhere to be found. “Ji Yan, Where’s His Royal Highness?”

“His Royal Highness went out to look for medicine. The plague can not be delayed. His Royal Highness left with the secret guards two hours ago. Before he left, he specifically asked Lady Gu to let me know if there was anything. I’m not afraid of any hard work!” Ji Yan said enthusiastically.

Gu Qingxue did not expect Rong Zhan to take her words to heart. While she felt gratified, she said, “Then you should return the bowls and chopsticks in my room to Madam Peng’s first. Also, help me thank her for her hospitality last night.”

It was already too late after she and Rong Zhan had supper last night. She had only washed the bowls and chopsticks and had not returned them to Madam Peng.

Ji Yan asked in puzzlement, “Wasn’t the supper last night prepared by the Royal Highness for Lady Gu? It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Madam Peng.”

Gu Qingxue’s original movements paused for a moment, then she turned her head to look at Ji Yan. “What did you say?”

Ji Yan thought he had said something wrong, so he raised his hand and scratched his head. “Lady Gu doesn’t know?”

When he had stayed this morning, Liu Yi had specially warned him not to meddle in other people’s business and not to mention the matters between Lady Gu and His Royal Highness. Had he said something else again?

Gu Qingxue really did not know, and she was very surprised.

In her impression, Rong Zhan was not a person who would care about others for no reason.

Gu Qingxue did not know how to describe the feeling in her heart. She looked indifferent on the surface and nodded lightly.

Ji Yan saw that Gu Qingxue’s expression remained the same. He heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was also a little depressed.

Lady Gu looked like she did not seem to take Rong Zhan’s feelings to heart.

Ji Yan was about to clear the dishes when Gu Qingxue stopped him.

“Ji Yan, when His Royal Highness went to the desert, did he bring a few more people with him?” Gu Qingxue suddenly asked.

Ji Yan immediately replied, “His Royal Highness brought a total of ten secret guards along with him. Each of them is the best of the best. Lady Gu, you don’t have to worry about them.”

Gu Qingxue did not probe further and continued to prepare the soup that she was going to boil today.

Five days later, Qingyuan Town…

There were few pedestrians on the street. Everyone was either wearing a mask or a veil. Every time they came into contact with people, they would take out the diluted disinfectant and spray it on each other to prevent themselves from catching the plague. If they were not careful, they would catch the plague.

Fortunately, after the plague appeared, the people received the protective measures that Doctor Gu had prepared at the first moment. They treated the plague seriously and did not dare to underestimate it.

Two infected people later appeared in Qingyuan Town. Fortunately, they were controlled in time. It had been three days since the two patients had fallen ill.

The people on the road were in a hurry. Before they left, they suddenly heard a burst of fierce footsteps from afar, which attracted the curiosity of the people.

They saw a group of well-trained people escorting a carriage that looked extremely luxurious as it quickly crossed the street.
