Affectionate
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What explanation did the crown prince give?” Gu Qingxue asked.
“Everyone treated this incident as an accident, so no one took it to heart. In addition, on the day of the thirteenth princess’s accident, the crown prince had brought the beaten-up Peng Zhou to the palace to look for the emperor, pleading for the emperor to punish him as well, saying that he had failed to protect the thirteenth princess. Naturally, the emperor did not blame the crown prince. He said that this matter had nothing to do with the crown prince and asked him to go back. After the crown prince sent Peng Zhou away, he returned to the empress’ Fengling Palace and took care of the thirteenth princess for a day and a night. He only left this morning and returned to the crown prince’s residence,” Qin Yun said.
Gu Qingxue snorted softly. She felt the cold wind blowing against her face,
and a trace of coldness seeped into her collar. She couldn’t help but shrink her neck and smile in response, “It seems that His Highness is really affectionate.”
Qin Yun nodded repeatedly as well, and she said in a similarly serious tone, “The other people in the palace also said the same thing. They said that this matter had nothing to do with the crown prince and that it was just an accident.’
“If there is really nothing strange, the empress will not target me because of this matter. Have you found out who’s in the imperial hospital with the thirteenth princess?” Gu Qingxue glanced at Qin Yun from the corner of her eyes.
“It’s Judge Wu. You’ve left the palace to take care of the prince regent, so Judge Wu is in charge of all matters in the palace.” Qin Yun immediately answered.
Gu Qingxue stopped in her tracks and looked at Qin Yun with admiration.
“You’ve done well to be able to find out so many things in such a short time.”
Qin Yun was embarrassed by the praise. She lowered her head and said shyly,
“Naturally, I have to do my best to help Eldest Miss.”
As the master and servant were talking, they had already arrived at the imperial hospital.
Gu Qingxue’s front foot had just stepped over the threshold when she heard the martial arts Court judge’s furious roar.
“I’ve told you many times not to touch my prescription when I’m not around. Why can’t you guys remember? If you can’t help in the imperial hospital, then all of you can get lost!” Judge Wu was standing in front of a medicine cabinet and was currently berating a few young eunuchs.
The young eunuchs were so scared that they did not even dare to raise their heads. The way they shrunk their necks was like a group of quails.
“Judge, I haven’t seen you for a few days. Why is your temper still the same?” Gu Qingxue walked in helplessly and looked at Judge Wu.
When Judge Wu saw that it was Gu Qingxue, the anger in his eyes dissipated a little. “It’s all because of this group of servants who don’t learn. They always can’t remember what I said.’
“Judge Wu doesn’t like others touching his things. In the future, don’t do this again. Step down.” Gu Qingxue’s eyes quickly swept over the group of eunuchs as she spoke, but she quickly retracted her gaze.
The young eunuchs felt as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden. They quickly thanked him and left.
“You’re too soft-hearted, always giving these people the chance to be slaves. When will they ever learn their lesson? ” Judge Wu waited until the young eunuchs had gone far away, then looked at Gu Qingxue and shook his head.
Gu Qingxue’s smile was gentle, but her eyes were cold. “I’ve already memorized the faces of those little eunuchs. If there’s a next time, they don’t
need to serve in the Imperial hospital. Judge, I’m here today to ask you about the thirteenth princess. To be honest, the empress asked me to go to the Fengling Palace..”
