Chapter 622: I’ll Do My Best to Cooperate With You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Imperial Physician Qin’s legs could not help but turn to jelly when he heard Gu Qingxue’s words. However, he still pretended to be calm on the surface. “Alright, that’s a great thing… By the way, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to deal with. Since Lord Gu is here, I’ll take my leave first.”
Gu Qingxue did not stop Imperial Physician Qin and watched him leave in a panic.
A cold and mocking expression appeared on her face. Gu Qingxue did not expect Imperial Physician Qin’s psychological quality to be so bad. He had only encountered a small situation and he was already so flustered. It was as if he was telling the world that he felt guilty.
However, Gu Qingxue was not in the mood to pay attention to Imperial Physician Qin. She lowered her eyes and observed Madam Zou in front of her. “You’re not from Madam Zou, right?”
After hearing this, Madam Zou raised her head and took out a pill. When she spoke again, her voice had returned to normal, “I’m also Madam Zou, but I’m not the Madam Zou that Lord Gu wants to see. The one Lord Gu saw before was my sister, and I’m her biological sister. We look very similar.
Gu Qingxue raised her brows in surprise. She heard someone push the door open behind her and turned to look at that person. Unsurprisingly, she saw Rong Zhan walking in with an indifferent expression.
Gu Qingxue looked at Rong Zhan with a half-smile. “Your Royal Highness, why do you always like to surprise people? If I’m not mistaken, this person in front of us was also prepared by Your Highness?”
Rong Zhan, who was dressed in a white crescent-shaped robe, looked like someone who had walked out of an ink painting, cold and noble.
“This is a trap I’ve set up in advance. The Elder Madam Zou has always loved her younger sister, and I only met her by chance. She’s willing to cooperate with us to find out the truth and find the culprit,” Rong Zhan said indifferently.
Elder Madam Zhou said, “Lord Gu, this was all my idea. I know that His Royal Highness wanted to use my sister as bait to lure out the people who had harmed her. All these years, I thought that my sister was dead. I never thought that she would live in so much pain! I, as the older sister, feel heartache for my younger sister, but I can’t do anything. So I asked His Royal Highness to let me replace my younger sister.”
“Your sister is not in her right mind. She would not be as cooperative as you are. Moreover, she is not clear-headed enough, and it is easier for her to be used by others,” Gu Qingxue said.
At the mention of her younger sister, Elder Madam Zhou could not help but raise her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Yes, so I’m willing to take the risk in my sister’s place. Lord Gu, I’ll do my best to cooperate with you as long as you ask me to.”
“Looking at Imperial Physician Qin’s reaction just now, he already felt uneasy. As long as he was the one who did it that year, he definitely wouldn’t be able to hold back and would act as soon as possible.” Rong Zhan said.
“Your Royal Highness, you’ve been talking about Imperial Physician Qin since just now. I wonder where Your Royal Highness has been hiding and peeking?” Gu Qingxue had not seen Rong Zhan for the whole day, but he actually knew everything after he revealed himself. She had no idea when he had secretly planted so many spies that even she had not noticed.
Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue and said mysteriously, “Anywhere you can’t see,”
Gu Qingxue was helpless about this and could not be bothered to argue with
Rong Zhan. “What we need to do is to wait and see, and wait for the other party to come to us..”
