Mrs. Gu looked at her daughter.
Gu Ruxue whispered in Mrs. Gu’s ears. “Mom, I have changed my mind. Could you please talk with Madame Gu later, saying that Gu Chaoyan and I can marry Prince of Duke Changning’s Mansion together?”
“What?!” Mrs. Gu got shocked. “Why, Ruxue, why?”
Gu Ruxue hushed her up, telling her mother not to go on. She whispered. “She is going to be the concubine, and I the wife, so of course I can take control of her. You know what days she has had during the past few years.”
“But...”
“We should never allow her to have a peaceful life!” Gu Ruxue’s face twisted as anger hovered over her face. When she heard the Prince’s idea of getting the ugly girl as the concubine, she got very pissed, as a matter of fact. The Prince hated the girl before, but now she was seducing him when she was distracted. So what Gu Ruxue was going to do was to make her dream come true – she would very much like to see how much the ugly girl could bear!
Seeing her daughter’s facial expression, Mrs. Gu understood the point. She also knew that when she got the idea, she was never going to be persuaded.
If that was the case...
Mrs. Gu nodded. “I will tell Madame Gu later, what a piece of cake!”
Gu Ruxue looked slightly relieved.
She continued to talk with Lu Jiming.
And Gu Chaoyan, on the other hand, came to Madame Gu and Princess Gu under the guidance of Cai Ming.
As she was looking at this slightly chubby girl, Princess Gu felt complication arising inwardly.
She never expected that she was able to befriend an important figure like Lord Huai.
She waved at Gu Chaoyan. “Come and sit next to me.”
Gu Chaoyan saw an empty seat next to Princess Gu, as if she had spared it for her. She did not say anything more, but took it after expressing her thankfulness.
Before Gu Chaoyan was able to say a thing, Princess Gu asked, “I heard that you cured the Young Master of the Wang Family?”
“Yes, Princess Gu.” Gu Chaoyan answered briefly.
She was, after all, the miss of the Gu Family. So Princess Gu said straightforwardly.
She stretched out her hand. “I am not feeling well recently. Since you are here, please check me out too.”
Gu Chaoyan paused and looked at Princess Gu. She was not joking.
Soon she realized why Madam Gu was taking her to the imperial court today.
Princess Gu had been in the imperial court for years, but she had not given birth to any children.
“Don’t over think, we are a family, just check her up the way you want to.” Seeing her hesitation, Madame Gu told Gu Chaoyan, worrying that she was afraid of something.
Gu Chaoyan reached out for her pulse.
“Princess Gu, you are doing fine.” Gu Chaoyan withdrew her hand.
“Doing fine? But why am I never pregnant? The imperial doctor says that it is because my womb is weak, but I have been eating many supplementary products.” Princess Gu said straightforwardly. After all, those were the conclusions drawn by all the imperial doctors. Gu Chaoyan was the only new doctor she could rely on.
Gu Chaoyan threw her a look.
Princess Gu was indeed confused.
Soon Gu Chaoyan realized why Gu Zhenkang never got promoted even if his sister was a princess in the imperial court.
Princess Gu, in common with her brother Gu Zhenkang, was totally brainless.
The reason why she was never pregnant was because someone in the imperial court did not want her to get pregnant. Probably even the King did not want her to get pregnant.
She was never going to have children, physically speaking.
“What is it?” Princess Gu asked expectantly.
