Liu Yi and the secret guards immediately followed Gu Qingxue’s instructions and went to the small building at the fastest speed possible, setting the entire building on fire.
The Gu Worms hidden in the small building were no match for the fire. Soon, the miserable cries of the Gu Worms came from the burning small building until the small building was burned to ashes.
After everything was done, Gu Qingxue and the others brought Madam Kou, who had been scared out of her wits, back to Jing City.
When Gu Qingxue entered the palace to see Rong Zhan, the carriage passed by the gate of the prince regent’s residence.
Gu Qingxue could not help but feel an urge to go in and see her three little ones. She had entered the palace on the first day of the new year, and it was already the second day, but she still had time to return home. Even when she went to interrogate Madam Kou and her son today, she was worried that the three little ones would follow her to the dungeon and be frightened, so she did not let them know that she had returned.
Gu Qingxue could not help but feel bitter when she thought about how she had to separate her three little ones from her during the new year.
She had already decided that after Rong Zhan was cured of the poison, she would definitely return to the prince regent residence to accompany them for a few more days.
Gu Qingxue had no choice but to suppress her longing and look away. She allowed the carriage to continue on until it finally stopped outside the palace gates.
At this moment, Rong Zhan had already moved to the Penglai Palace, which was far away from the harem, under the empress dowager’s instructions. Gu Qingxue went straight to the Penglai Palace after entering the palace. When she entered the bedroom, she saw Rong Zhan still sleeping on the bed.
It was rare to see Rong Zhan in such a weak state. If not for his pale face, Gu Qingxue would have thought that the man in front of her was just asleep.
“Mmhm… Sister Gu, you’re back?” At this moment, Gong Lingyu, who was hugging Rong Han and resting on the soft couch, opened her eyes. When she saw that it was Gu Qingxue, she relaxed a little. “Sister Gu, the secret guard you sent into the palace to look for me and asked me to come and take care of cousin. I didn’t dare to leave. Cousin’s condition is not bad, he didn’t vomit blood and didn’t wake up. He’s been sleeping.”
“You haven’t forgotten what I told you, have you?” Gu Qingxue quickly asked.
Gong Lingyu nodded her head obediently. “Sister Gu, don’t worry. If you don’t want the other imperial physicians to come over to treat cousin, I naturally won’t give them the chance. It is a good thing that Imperial grandmother has always trusted you, so she is willing to give you full authority over my cousin’s body.”
Gu Qingxue heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. “That’s good.”
Gong Lingyu saw that Rong Han had not woken up in her arms, so she carefully placed him on the soft couch. Then, she got up and poured a cup of tea, walking towards Gu Qingxue. “Sister Gu, when will my cousin wake up?”
Gu Qingxue took the cup of tea and finished it in one gulp. “it should be very soon. I found Gu Lingyue and obtained the antidote from her. After that, you just need to rest for a while, and you’ll be fully recovered.
“That’s good. Sister Gu, you’ve worked hard. Last night, my grandmother told me that Sister Gu and my cousin are true friends in need and wanted to bestow a marriage to the two of you…” Gong Lingyu said with a serious expression.
Gu Qingxue’s eyes widened in shock when she heard this, almost suspecting that she had misheard.. “What did you just say? Bestowing a marriage?”
