Seeing Fei Yuge’s troubled face, Gu Qingxue could not help but reach out and pinch her little face. “We had a premonition that the Gu King Stronghold would be difficult to find. Everything was within our expectations. Why are you so worried?”

“I’m just disappointed, Senior Sister. If we can’t find the Gu King this time, how will the poison in Master’s body be cured? ” Fei Yuge asked Gu Qingxue worriedly as she brought up the matter.

Gu Qingxue’s eyes darkened as well, and she said faintly, “If that’s the case, we can only let nature take its course. Although Master didn’t tell you before, he told me that the Gu King is too difficult to find. Even if you can’t find it, don’t be disappointed. Just let nature take its course, so you don’t have to take this matter too seriously.”

Seeing Fei Yuge nod her head, Gu Qingxue saw that she was still disappointed and guessed that her mood would not improve so easily.

However, there was no other way. They did not know where the stronghold was, but the food and water they brought were only enough to last until tomorrow morning. They had to leave the desert immediately the next morning. They had to leave the desert in a day as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be a small matter if they could not find the stronghold. It would be a big matter if a group of people died here.

After everyone had decided on this matter, they set off together and returned to the inn.

After returning to her room, Gu Qingxue looked at Rong Zhan. “Your Royal

Highness, regarding Bo Yan’s matter…”

“l understand. I will go and find Bo Yan now. You continue to guard the Old General here.” As Rong Zhan spoke, he reached out and patted Gu Qingxue’s head gently before standing up to leave.

Gu Qingxue stared blankly at Rong Zhan’s back as he left. Her face flushed uncontrollably.

That night, Rong Zhan found Xiu Niangs daughter, Bo Yan, and brought her to Old General Qi’s room.

Bo Yan was not even 18 years old this year and had just started working in the Qi family. Coupled with the fact that she had always been doing rough labor, she had never thought that she would be called to Old General Qi’s room one day. At this moment, even when she was kneeling on the ground, she looked uneasy and didn’t dare to raise her head to look at anyone. “This servant, this servant greets the Prince Regent and Young Miss.”

Gu Qingxue looked at Bo Yan’s thin and frail body. She did not want to show the anticipation in her heart on her face, afraid that she would scare the girl. “Bo Yan, don’t be afraid. I called you here today to ask you something. Your mother Xiu Niang and I were old friends. I couldn’t bear to see her suddenly pass away, so I wanted to ask you about your mother’s past.”

Bo Yan looked up at Gu Qingxue in shock. When her eyes met hers, she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

Before she came, she had heard from the people who had seen Eldest Miss Gu in the residence that she was devastatingly beautiful. Bo Yan was originally curious about how beautiful a person could be. In the end, she did not expect that this Eldest Miss Gu in front of her was indeed more beautiful than all the beauties she had ever seen combined.

“Reporting to the Eldest Miss, my mother was exhausted to death.” Bo Yan’s eyes immediately turned red when she mentioned the sad matter. As she spoke, her pearl-like tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Gu Qingxue narrowed her eyes and looked at Bo Yan in a gentle voice. “Don’t be anxious. Tell me what happened slowly..”
