Gu Qingxue smiled indifferently, her gaze helplessly sweeping toward Qin Yun. “Let me ask you, where did Qu Lianyu come from?”
“Mmhm… She’s naturally from the prince regent’s residence.” Qin Yun answered matter-of-factly, then she scratched her head in puzzlement. “Eldest Miss, why do you ask? ‘
“Since she’s from the prince regent’s residence, there’s naturally someone from the prince regent’s residence who’ll be in charge of dealing with her. There’s no need to dirty our hands,” Gu Qingxue said.
Qin Yun did not understand what Gu Qingxue meant. She reached out and scratched her head. “Eldest Miss, people from the prince regent’s residence?
Why don’t I see it?”
“You don’t have to worry so much. Let’s go, we should go back.” Gu Qingxue didn’t explain it clearly to Qin Yun. She avoided the topic and led Qin Yun to the prince regent’s residence.
As soon as the master and servant left, a few black-clothed figures quickly headed toward the small alley where Qu Lianyu and the others were.
Before the four men could leave and be still wailing on the ground, they saw a few aggressive secret guards rush in.
A few of them endured the pain, and without exception, all of them had vigilant looks on their faces. The leading man in black looked at the secret guards and asked, “Who are you people?”
“Take them all away.” The leader of the guards did not say anything more. After handing over the four men to his subordinates, he strode in Qu Lianyu’s direction.
Qu Lianyu was awoken by the men’s struggle. She opened her bruised eyes in pain and saw the secret guard in front of her.”You are Ji Yan… Great, you’ve finally come to save me! Did, did His Royal Highness ask you to come?”
“His Royal Highness sent me here. Young Lady Qu, His Royal Highness has ordered us to give you a taste of your own medicine. Please pay the price for your actions,” Ji Yan said with a cold smile.
The smile on Qu Lianyu’s lips instantly froze. Her face was filled with disbelief, and her eyes gradually filled with despair. “No, it can’t be. His Royal Highness and I were childhood sweethearts! How could he be so cruel?! I don’t believe it!”
Ji Yan looked coldly at this vicious woman. “His Royal Highness didn’t want to kill you, but you’re too ungrateful. How dare you lay your hands on Miss Gu? do you know that His Royal Highness has been waiting for you to court your own death?”
It suddenly dawned on Qu Lianyu that she had been schemed against from the very beginning. Her expression turned even uglier. Then, Ji Yan ordered her to be taken away.
Not only Qu Lianyu, but all the men she had found were also taken away.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingxue and Qin Yun had also returned to the prince regent’s residence.
The three little ones had already fallen asleep, so Gu Qingxue let musical note go back to her room to rest.
On the way back to her room alone, Gu Qingxue saw the light of candles in the garden when she passed by. She looked in curiously and was surprised to see Rong Zhan.
Rong Zhan was drinking and admiring the moon alone in the pavilion. He was already drunk and was leaning his head on his arm, looking drowsy.
Seeing that there was no one by Rong Zhan’s side at this hour, Gu Qingxue’s eyes were filled with worry. She slowly walked towards Rong Zhan.
After standing beside Rong Zhan, Gu Qingxue reached out her hand and patted Rong Zhan’s shoulder lightly. “Your Royal Highness, the winter wind is too cold.. Why don’t you go back to your room and rest?”
