Fortunately, Gu Qingxue’s injuries were not serious. Rong Zhan quickly let go of her and took out a bottle of ointment from his sleeve to apply to Gu Qingxue’s wounds.
The light green ointment emitted a faint fragrance. The moment it was applied to the wound, it stopped bleeding. It even gave off a cooling feeling, making Gu Qingxue let out a long sigh of relief.
“Give me the handkerchief.” Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue’s wound and reached out to her.
Gu Qingxue dug around in her sleeve with her other hand and immediately took out a handkerchief to hand to Rong Zhan.
Rong Zhan took it, bit one corner, and tore it with his hand.
With a ripping sound, the handkerchief was torn into two.
Gu Qingxues heart ached as she furrowed her brows and mumbled, “Your
Royal Highness, this is my favorite handkerchief.”
Rong Zhan did not seem to hear Gu Qingxue’s complaint. He calmly reached out and wrapped a piece of cloth around Gu Qingxue’s finger, acting as a gauze to protect her wound. “There are many handkerchiefs in the storeroom. I’ll have the butler send them to your room later. You can choose whatever you want.”
Gu Qingxue had a helpless expression and could only thank him. “Many thanks, Your Royal Highness.”
“Leave the cooking to the servants. Tell me, why were you so careless just now? Am I that scary?” Rong Zhan’s gaze stopped on Gu Qingxue.
“That’s not it, I’m just thinking about something. Your Royal Highness, I want to ask you for a favor. Can you bring me along to the palace banquet on the first day of the new year?” Gu Qingxue looked at Rong Zhan and asked tentatively.
She still remembered that Rong Han had just said that Rong Zhan did not like to attend palace banquets. She had asked him to do so because she was just trying.
After all, Rong Zhan was Rong Han’s father, and he should do his part for the safety of his child.
Rong Zhan was a little surprised. He lowered his eyes and saw that Gu Qingxue looked calm, but in fact, her nose was already covered in sweat. She looked very nervous.
Rong Zhan’s eyes lit up when he saw this.
It was just a small favor to ask of him. Did she have to be so nervous?
“Sure.” Rong Zhan moved his thin lips and softly spat out two words.
“Really? Many thanks, Your Royal Highness!” Gu Qingxue said with an excited smile as if she was afraid that Rong Han would go back on her words.
Seeing how happy Gu Qingxue was, the corners of Rong Zhan’s lips curved up. “I thought you were never interested in these banquets? Why are you in such a good mood this time?
Gu Qingxue could not tell Rong Zhan the truth, so she lied without blushing. “Ever since I proved my father’s innocence, I understood that it was very difficult to survive in the imperial court without the right. Staying in the palace to serve was indeed not my original intention, but what is done is done. I can not disobey the decree, so I can only think of a way to appear more often in front of His Majesty.”
Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue quietly and met her clear eyes. He knew very well that Gu Qingxue was lying.
She had never been a person who pursued fame and fortune. Otherwise, when the emperor wanted to keep her in the palace, she would not have suffered such a big blow.
From this, it could be seen that she must have another purpose, which made her go to the palace banquet even if she lied.
Seeing that Rong Zhan did not say anything, Gu Qingxue’s heart started to race. “Your Royal Highness, you’ve already promised me, so you won’t go back on your word, right?”
“I always keep my word. When the time comes, I will introduce you to the outside world. You are the woman that I brought over.” Rong Zhan said..
