Rong Zhan and Madam Qi were sitting in the room, looking at Gu Qingxue through the open door.

Gu Qingxue saw the deep look in Rong Zhan’s eyes, and her heart trembled. She felt an inexplicable feeling lingering in the air, making her heart beat faster.

However, Gu Qingxue quickly avoided his gaze and even managed to suppress her heartbeat. She no longer looked at Rong Zhan.

Rong Zhan was dressed in a black fox-skin coat. He sat in his seat, exuding an overbearing aura as he stared at Gu Qingxue.

He never thought that she would take the initiative to look away.

Rong Zhan’s eyes deepened. He stood up and walked toward Gu Qingxue.

The four little ones also noticed Gu Qingxue at the same time.

“Fairy, are you alright? I heard that you were sick, so I rushed over to see you, but Brother Lin and the others told me that you were fine.” Rong Han ran over as fast as she could and grabbed Gu Qingxue’s hand. She sighed, “Ah, Fairy, your hand is so cold. Let me help you warm it up.

Gu Qingxue looked at Rong Han’s cute little face, and her heart instantly softened. She was about to thank him when Rong Zhan walked up to her.

Rong Zhan reached out his well-defined palm and placed the hot water bottle in Gu Qingxue’s hand.

Rong Zhan’s gentle warmth was accompanied by his unique sandalwood scent, and Gu Qingxue’s eyes could not help but move. She wanted to return the hot pot to Rong Zhan, but she had already rejected him. “Thank you, Your Royal Highness. I’m not cold.”

Rong Zhan did not force her. He only raised his eyebrows and asked Gu

Qingxue, “You don’t want it? Do you want me to warm your hands like Han’er?”

Gu Qingxue looked at Rong Zhan and saw the seriousness in his eyes. She guessed that he was not lying.

Gu Qingxue had no choice but to take a deep breath and take the hot water bottle to warm her hands.

Only then was Rong Zhan satisfied. He touched Rong Han’s head and said, “Go play with your Big Brother Lin and the others.”

Rong Han looked at Rong Zhan, then at Gu Qingxue, and suddenly had an expression of realization. “Mm! Father, I’m taking Big Brother Lin and the other two to a place far away to play for a while. I won’t be back for a while, so you can take your time to say anything!”

Gu Qingxue watched Rong Han leave.

Rong Zhan’s eyes reflected Gu Qingxue’s figure as he said in a light tone, “Previously, the poison acted up. Thank you for rushing over to detoxify me. If it wasn’t for your help, I would have been in deep trouble this time.”

Gu Qingxue shook her head. “It’s my fault. I didn’t give you the antidote in time. That’s why you’re suffering. Your Royal Highness, I’ve removed a portion of the poison in your body, but it’s still far from complete recovery. I think that after the poison takes effect this time, you will be at peace for a while.”

“It was you who helped me remove some of the poison. This time, the poison didn’t take my life. I should still thank you,” Rong Zhan said.

Gu Qingxue chuckled and raised her bright eyes, taking in every expression on Rong Zhan’s face. “Didn’t Your Royal Highness already thank me personally?

The fire at MO Yunye’s private residence was your doing, right, Your Royal Highness?”

Rong Zhan did not deny it, “It’s just a good opportunity. MO Yunye was ambitious to begin with. He collected a lot of information about the Imperial court and even arranged a few spies in our court. This information was stored in his private residence and should be destroyed in the first place..”
