237 The Empress Dowager Intended to Set Her Up with the Prince Regent
“Your Royal Highness…!” Gu Qingxue’s heart tightened when she saw Rong Zhan following her and soaking his hand in the bone-chilling cold water.
Rong Zhan was expressionless and did not care at all. He finally stopped when the temperature on Gu Qingxue’s hand dropped.
“Your Royal Highness, why? Your hand is red from the cold.” Gu Qingxue frowned deeply and looked at Rong Zhan’s red palm with worry.
“I’ve been practicing martial arts all year round and have practiced in the extremely cold place for a few years. This bit of coldness is nothing.” Rong Zhan raised his eyes to look at her. “Where do you keep the burn ointment?”
“There’s no need, Your Royal highness. It’s just a small injury. Just lick it and it’ll be fine. There’s no need to apply medicine.” Gu Qingxue had just finished speaking when she noticed that Rong Zhan was looking at her a little strangely.
Gu Qingxue felt as if her head exploded with a bang. Only then did she realize that what she said was a little too wrong. It was as if she was asking Rong Zhan to help her!
Fortunately, Rong Zhan did not do it. Instead, he pulled Gu Qingxue back to the kitchen and sat down. He took out some medicine and bandaged Gu Qingxue’s wound.
This time, Gu Qingxue did not resist very obediently. She was afraid that if she accidentally said the wrong word, it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
She lowered her head and allowed Rong Zhan to bandage her wound. Then, he served her some hot food. Gu Qingxue was utterly embarrassed throughout the entire process. After eating with her head lowered, she returned to her own room.
She had never felt that life was so difficult. After returning to her room, Gu Qingxue took a deep breath and went to bed to rest tiredly.
At the same time, in the Imperial City, the imperial palace, Fengkang Palace…
Princess Liuying was currently in the main hall, accompanying the empress dowager as they chatted.
.The atmosphere in the hall was harmonious. It was unknown what interesting words Princess Liuying had said, the empress dowager was so amused that she could not close her mouth. “You, this girl, only know how to say nice things to make me happy all day long. You have almost made me take your words seriously.”
Princess Liuying wore a blue dress and sat not far away gracefully, she looked at the empress dowager and said with a smile, “What I said is the truth. Every time I see the empress dowager, I feel that the empress dowager is getting younger and younger. In the end, the empress dowager is the luckiest. As long as I have the opportunity to serve the empress dowager more, I will definitely be blessed.”
“Ying’er, it is rare for you to be so thoughtful. Come into the palace and greet me. Seeing that you do not need to go back today, I will stay by my side and eat with me.” The empress dowager smiled and instructed the maidservant beside her, “Bi Zhu, go and invite Zhan’er into the palace as well.”
Princess Liuying was delighted when she heard this.
She knew that the empress dowager was intentionally trying to set her up with the prince regent.
“The empress dowager is unaware of this. His Royal Highness has brought the young prince out and is currently not in the manor.” Princess Liuying smiled and continued, “I heard that His Royal Highness has found a woman with excellent medical skills for the young prince. This woman lives deep in the mountains and specializes in treating all sorts of difficult and complicated illnesses. Even if it’s illnesses that ordinary people are unable to treat, she will still be able to solve them. I think that if there is an opportunity in the future, we can invite this lady to come to the palace to take a look at the empress dowager.”
“Yes… I have heard some things about the lady who helped Han’er treat his illness. I originally did not hold much hope, but I did not expect that this lady’s traditional Chinese medicine skills were so good that it actually attracted Zhan’er to go personally,” the empress dowager said with a sigh.
Princess Liuying concealed the light that flashed through her eyes, and she continued to laugh, “I also think so. I feel that the empress dowager’s body is fine, so you can wait for a few days. On the contrary, the sixth princess’s body has been in poor health, and she has a weak body. Perhaps I can invite this lady to take a look. Coincidentally, the prince is also there. He and the princess’ are cousins, so they can also take care of each other.”
