Hearing what Gu Chaoyan asked, Madame Wang showed a very complicated look on her face, but soon it was gone. Then Madame Wang answered with a smile, “No one knows what is going on in the court.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded and asked nothing more.
Madame Wang would not reveal anything about what happened in the court, even though she might have some idea about it.
It was her mistake to have asked her about this.
Gu Chaoyan asked Xiu Jie to fetch the medicine. She gave one bottle to Madame Wang and said carefully, “This is for a supplement. If you have time, you can make some other supplementary stuff and cook it with the medical pills. If you don’t have the time for that, just eat them by themselves. You don’t
have to eat the pills every single day, one every few days will do. There are 30 pills in the bottle, Madame Wang, so I will give you just one bottle to start with.”
Madame Wang took a sniff of the bottle.
It gave out a very good scent, and she was sure that it was a wonderful bottle of medicine. So she asked her servants to pay for it.
Gu Chaoyan did not turn down the cash. She was following the rules as the owner of a medical clinic.
Anyway… If she had something for the Wang Family, she could just visit them directly.
Madame Wang left for home after the purchase, so Gu Chaoyan saw her off at the door.
‘When Madame Wang left, Gu Chaoyan suddenly felt a bit worried.
‘That Madame Wang was here today and passed on the message did not seem like a simple matter. Madame Wang was experienced enough to be cautious. She would not have mentioned about Officer Wang’s business without a reason.
So… Madame Wang was here for a purpose?
Currently, it was known to the public that the officers were all busy with the selection of new girls, but that was an open thing.
So what was the King busy with, which was not supposed to be revealed?
Gu Chaoyan could not understand. However, since there was no other business going on in the clinic, Gu Chaoyan left with Sword One.
‘They came with the wagon, but Gu Chaoyan suddenly did not feel like taking the wagon. Instead, she decided to take a walk, then she could think the whole thing through.
If Madame Wang was leaking the message on purpose, then it basically meant that Zhou Huaijin and herself were involved. Could it have anything to do with Xunyang?
However, it did not sound like that. If it was related to Xunyang, Madame Wang should have understood that Zhou Huaijin would be totally aware of the whole business.
If it was not related to Xunyang, then it would be about something else, something that was more like the King’s private plan that was granted to Officer Wang who was responsible for it. So Madame Wang might be giving her a hint, since she could not possibly say anything.
Gu Chaoyan almost bumped into some passer-by as she was so immersed in the whole thing. Only then did she manage to bring herself back, but… Gu Chaoyan heard some whispering among the crowd.
“Are you sure? Lady Chaoyan’s flute called out the phoenix?”
“Someone saw it with their own eyes?”
“What does Lady Chaoyan have as a background? She was able to call out a phoenix, honestly, a phoenix should be…”
‘When she heard the sound of discussion as well as what they were talking about, Gu Chaoyan was startled.
Sword One also found the whole thing strange.. She said with a small voice, “Elder Miss?”
