Gu Qingxue understood his meaning and did not mind at all. She nodded at
Rong Zhan. “Since Your Royal Highness has something to discuss, I’ll take my leave.”
“No, you can stay.” Rong Zhan’s cold eyes swept over to the secret guard and said coldly, “If there’s anything you want to say, just say it.”
“It’s…” The secret guard cupped his hands and lowered his head. “Reporting to Your Royal Highness, Prince Heng’s princess consort has entered the palace to visit Noble Consort Xian. However, from what we know, Gu Lingyue has also entered the palace this time. She disguised herself as the princess consort’s maidservant and entered the palace with her.”
Gu Qingxue finally understood why the secret guard had looked at her with such a meaningful gaze when he had entered the room.
“Gu Lingyue is still in Jing City? How did she run to the side of Prince Heng’s princess consort to serve?” Gu Qingxue was surprised by this sudden news.
Ever since she had chased Madam Kou and her children out of the Gu residence, she had not received any news about them. Madam Kou’s maternal family was a respected merchant in Jiangnan. She had originally thought that Madam Kou would bring her son and daughter back to their maternal family to make a living.
In the end, she never thought that Gu Lingyue would actually hook up with
Prince Heng’s residence.
Rong Zhan was not surprised. He had obviously known about this long ago. He glanced at Gu Qingxue and explained, “Gu Lingyue did not hook up with Prince Heng’s princess consort, but Prince Heng. From what I know, Prince Heng has been indulging in women recently, and the concubine he dotes on the most is
Gu Lingyue.”
Gu Qingxue raised her eyebrows. She thought of Gu Lingyue and could not help but laugh. “I didn’t expect Prince Heng to like this type of woman.”
There was no one in Jing City who didn’t know about Gu Lingyue’s loss of her virginity and her engagement with the crown prince. Gu Qingxue did not believe that Prince Heng would not have heard of this.
Even so, Prince Heng still liked Gu Lingyue and even pampered her. This made Gu Qingxue feel a little strange. Just how much charm did Gu Lingyue have to make Prince Heng, who had seen countless beautiful women in the world, so devoted to her?
“Prince Heng has never liked women like Gu Lingyue. According to our spy’s report, Prince Heng seems to be obsessed with Gu Lingyue and has been following her every word in the residence.” The secret guard paused for a moment before he continued to report, “Because the person who tried to assassinate Imperial Physician Qin never returned, Prince Heng guessed that the assassination attempt on Imperial Physician Qin had failed. He originally wanted to come to the Gu residence o take him away, but he didn’t expect to be stopped by Gu Lingyue.”
Gu Qingxue was a little surprised.
Although Gu Lingyue was not pure, she was still pretty. If Prince Heng was just acting on a whim, it was understandable.
However, Gu Lingyue was actually able to make Prince Heng, who was such an astute person, listen to her suggestions and do things according to her instructions. This was beyond Gu Qingxue’s imagination.
“Prince Heng should have been forced to do something like this. He’s already lost his mind, but Gu Lingyue is still able to remain calm.” Rong Zhan also narrowed his eyes sharply.
“If Gu Lingyue had such a deep scheme in the beginning, she wouldn’t have handed the Gu family’s assets to an outsider. How could this woman gain such wisdom in such a short time? ” Gu Qingxue frowned in confusion. She did not believe that Gu Lingyue had that kind of ability..
