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 âPrince Ruiâs Mansionâ, 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.
âAre you following me?â Luo Tan shook off his hand and said angrily.
âYes.â Gao Yang admitted readily and asked, âYou went through so much trouble just to come to Prince Ruiâs mansion? Why are you looking for Prince Rui?â Gao Yang had probably guessed the purpose of Luo Tanâs 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 wouldâve 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?
âDo you know Prince Rui?â Gao Yang asked her.
âHow can I know Prince Rui?!â Luo Tan retorted firmly. âPrince Rui is noble. Iâm just the daughter of an ordinary official. How can I know him?â
âThen why are you looking for him?â Gao Yang continued to ask.
Luo Tan stammered, âBecause, becauseâ¦â She glanced at Gao Yangâs face and suddenly had an idea. She shouted, âI heard from people that Prince Rui is a peerless and beautiful man, so I wanted to see him!â
When Gao Yang heard this, he burst out laughing.
âWhat are you laughing at?â
âYou came all the way here just to see his face?â Gao Yang asked.
Luo Tan said righteously, âWhat do you know? Itâs rare to find a good-looking person in the world. If there is, of course I have to catch a glimpse of him.â
Gao Yang shook his head. âWell, Iâm also very good-looking. Miss, why donât you want to take a glimpse of me? Why did you have to come here?â
Luo Tan said, âDoctor Gao, you should take a closer look at yourself in the mirror.â She said, âIâm not gonna waste time with you anymore. I want to see Prince Rui.â As she spoke, she went up the stairs and arrived at the door of Prince Ruiâs mansion. She said innocently, âPlease inform Prince Rui that I have something important to tell him.â
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, âIâll bring the two of you in to wait.â
Luo Tan looked at Gao Yang. âWhat are you doing here?â
Gao Yang said, âI also want to see his face. If you donât let me come along, I can only return to the Shen mansion. When Mrs. Shen and General Shen ask me laterâ¦â
âWait!â Luo Tan glared at him and said, âCome in with me.â
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 Ruiâs mansion. Now, why did it look like⦠that girl had brought Young Master Gao to Prince Ruiâs mansion?
