569 Ask for Help (4)
This short journey seemed to be especially long. Luo Tan missed the time when she could jump around. When she saw the words “Prince Rui’s Mansion”, her legs went weak and she almost knelt down.
In the end, she did not kneel down because a pair of hands helped her up from behind.
Luo Tan turned around and saw Gao Yang.
“Are you following me?” Luo Tan shook off his hand and said angrily.
“Yes.” Gao Yang admitted readily and asked, “You went through so much trouble just to come to Prince Rui’s mansion? Why are you looking for Prince Rui?” Gao Yang had probably guessed the purpose of Luo Tan’s visit. He had never heard Xie Jingxing mention Luo Tan, so the only connection between Luo Tan and Xie Jingxing was Shen Miao. Luo Tan probably came to look for Xie Jingxing because of Shen Miao.
Luo Tan looked at Gao Yang warily, feeling very anxious. She did not expect to meet Gao Yang at this time. She was half frustrated and half angry. This person looked like a decent person, but he actually did such a despicable thing. She was angry with herself being weak at this moment. Otherwise, she would’ve noticed Gao Yang following her.
Luo Tan thought to herself that the relationship between Shen Miao and Prince Rui must not be known to a third person. Moreover, Gao Yang came from the palace. What if he went back and reported it to Emperor Wen Hui?
“Do you know Prince Rui?” Gao Yang asked her.
“How can I know Prince Rui?!” Luo Tan retorted firmly. “Prince Rui is noble. I’m just the daughter of an ordinary official. How can I know him?”
“Then why are you looking for him?” Gao Yang continued to ask.
Luo Tan stammered, “Because, because…” She glanced at Gao Yang’s face and suddenly had an idea. She shouted, “I heard from people that Prince Rui is a peerless and beautiful man, so I wanted to see him!”
When Gao Yang heard this, he burst out laughing.
“What are you laughing at?”
“You came all the way here just to see his face?” Gao Yang asked.
Luo Tan said righteously, “What do you know? It’s rare to find a good-looking person in the world. If there is, of course I have to catch a glimpse of him.”
Gao Yang shook his head. “Well, I’m also very good-looking. Miss, why don’t you want to take a glimpse of me? Why did you have to come here?”
Luo Tan said, “Doctor Gao, you should take a closer look at yourself in the mirror.” She said, “I’m not gonna waste time with you anymore. I want to see Prince Rui.” As she spoke, she went up the stairs and arrived at the door of Prince Rui’s mansion. She said innocently, “Please inform Prince Rui that I have something important to tell him.”
Gao Yang followed closely behind and gave the two guards a look. The guards naturally knew Gao Yang, so they immediately opened the door and said, “I’ll bring the two of you in to wait.”
Luo Tan looked at Gao Yang. “What are you doing here?”
Gao Yang said, “I also want to see his face. If you don’t let me come along, I can only return to the Shen mansion. When Mrs. Shen and General Shen ask me later…”
“Wait!” Luo Tan glared at him and said, “Come in with me.”
The two guards looked at each other, confused by the scene in front of them. They originally thought that Young Master Gao had brought a girl to Prince Rui’s mansion. Now, why did it look like… that girl had brought Young Master Gao to Prince Rui’s mansion?
