139 If It Wasn’t For Gu Qingxue, Rong Han Would Have Been Killed By the Assassin

The smile on Gu Qingxue’s lips froze.

She did not know whether she slept with Rong Han or both the father and son.

She did not dare to ask when she saw Rong Zhan today.

Rong Zhan was temperamental, and it was her fault. If he did not plan to make a fuss about it, but she asked about it, she suffer a great loss, right?

Faced with Gu Lin’s question, Gu Qingxue revealed an awkward but polite smile, “Of course not. Mother wasn’t cold anymore during the second half of the night… but that’s not important. Let’s go to sleep.”

Gu Lin did not doubt what Gu Qingxue said at all. He raised his hand to rub his eyes, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep with his brother and sister.

Gu Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, then closed her eyes.

At the same time, in the prince regent’s manor…

Bitang Residence, Rong Han’s room…

Rong Zhan saw that Rong Han was sleeping peacefully under the blanket. His eyes were filled with warmth, and he gently patted his head.

“Royal Highness.” Ji Yan’s voice came from outside the door.

Rong Zhan answered expressionlessly.

Ji Yan pushed the door open and entered, he handed two pieces of cut hemp rope to Rong Zhan, “Your Royal Highness, please take a look. These are the ropes for the swing. At that time, Lady Gu must have cut the rope in time to save the young prince. Moreover, it was Lady Gu who told me that the young prince shouldn’t play on the swing.”

“Just a little bit more. If it weren’t for her, Han ‘er would have…” Rong Zhan looked at the neat cut of the hemp rope. Although he did not finish his words, the meaning he wanted to express was very obvious.

If it were not for Gu Qingxue, Rong Han would have been killed by the assassin. If it were not for Gu Qingxue, Rong Han would have died of a heart attack.

In short, Rong Han’s life was saved by her at all costs.

However, she was not related to Rong Han, so why did she treat him so well?

Rong Zhan thought of this and glanced at the handkerchief beside him.

The scarlet handkerchief had the word ‘Gu’ embroidered on it. It was the handkerchief that Gu Qingxue used to wipe his hands today.

“Ji Yan, do you know what love is?” Rong Zhan suddenly asked.

Ji Yan was a boorish man with not much knowledge, after hearing this, he raised his hand and scratched his head, “This subordinate is not very clear about this. I only know the meaning of it vaguely. It means that a person will only like everything around another person when the person especially likes another person. It’s a form of favoritism.”

Rong Zhan was very satisfied with Ji Yan’s answer. He said plainly, “What happened today was the secret guards’ mistake.”

Ji Yan’s heart tightened and he hurriedly knelt down. “Yes, this subordinate guarantees that such a thing will not happen in the future. Please punish me, Master!”

Actually, when Ji Yan came, he had already prepared himself to be punished.

Today, it was the secret guards’ mistake that nearly harmed the little heir.

That assassin did not leave any clues that could prove his identity. They also did not manage to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, so it was only right for them to be punished.

Rong Zhan expressionlessly grabbed the handkerchief and said without raising his head, “Han’er is fine. Let’s forget about today’s matter. Quickly investigate the mastermind behind the scenes. If this happens again, bring your heads here.”

Ji Yan looked at Rong Zhan in surprise. “Your Royal Highness, are you not going to punish me?”

Rong Zhan asked coldly, “If you’ll feel uncomfortable without a beat, I can help you.”

“No, I don’t dare. Thank you, Your Royal Highness!” Ji Yan was extremely happy. He did not understand why the prince was so merciful today, but he hoped that the prince would do the same in the future!

Seeing Ji Yan leave, Rong Zhan stopped him before he left. “Wait a moment. Have you sent the Yin-yang Coiling Soul Needle that you found the day before to Qizhou?”
