Chapter 10

"I've been beaten, but why are you wronged?"

Gu Yanqing looks at Bai ruotong's sad cry, not angry but smiling. It's true that his action just now is too rude to women, but he can't think of any way to make Bai ruotong take medicine.

"..." Bai ruotong wanted to talk and stopped, but he dared to be angry.

"Drink the milk tea and rinse the bitterness in your mouth." Gu Yanqing took the milk tea that the maid put on the small table and brought it to her hand.

Bai ruotong sobbed and wiped his tears, refusing to pick up.

"Don't cry."

Gu Yanqing's heart is about to be weeped by the little girl. He eases his eyebrows and reaches out to wipe her tears. Before he touches the little girl, he is scared to hide.

"Angry with the king?" Gu Yanqing holding milk tea hand for a moment did not move, words helpless, listen carefully mixed with a bit of doting.

"I dare not."

Bai ruotong burped back.

"There's sugar in the milk tea. It's very sweet." Gu Yanqing stirred up a gentle smile and coaxed him patiently. The little girl was indignant and obviously annoyed at him.

"No drink."

Bai ruotong looked at him warily and shook his head.

His highness, the smiling tiger, has an uncertain temperament. He is gentle and angry for a while, which makes people confused. She didn't know him, he was so gentle, careful thinking, there must be a way.

She pondered and refused to accept Gu Yanqing's kindness.

"Do you want me to feed you again?" See her "rather die than surrender" stubborn, Gu Yanqing pick eyebrows joking.

“……”

You're right!

Bai ruotong is "humiliated" to take the milk tea. Gu Yanqing smiles with satisfaction and wants to make fun of the little girl again. However, Zhao Cheng passes on a message at this time.

"Your Highness, there's someone from Zhenxi general's house. They say they're here to pick up white girl."

"Call them in." Gu Yanqing raised her hand and stood up.

Bai ruotong quietly ate milk tea, and the bitterness in his mouth was diluted, which warmed his stomach and relieved the pain in his chest.

Zhao Zhong lowered his head and stepped into the room eagerly. There were also five people behind him, all dressed in plain clothes.

"Zhao Zhong, governor of Zhenxi palace, is here to see your highness. Your highness is in good health!" Zhao zhongzhan was walking on his knees in fear, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.

Bai ruotong looked at the visitor, but he was very disappointed. She originally thought that he could at least bring a title when he saluted, but she never thought that there was only "Your Highness".

She still doesn't know who her "Highness" is. It was not that she did not have the idea of asking questions, but she gave up considering her present status.

She is the legitimate daughter of the general's house. She should have met many noble people with the old lady on weekdays. She had seen all the officials and nobles in the capital. If she asked her identity rashly, she would be suspicious.

"Get up." Gu Yanqing's words were not as gentle and delicate as before. His eyes did not fall on Zhao Zhong, but on Bai ruotong, who was eating milk tea.

"Your Highness, my young lady is bothering your highness tonight. I ordered Zhao to take her back. Today's kindness will be returned to the general's residence in Zhenxi." Zhao Zhong stood up in fear and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with the corner of his sleeve.

He has been working in the general's office for some years, and he has met many dignitaries. But it's the first time to face Gu Yanqing alone. This noble Lord is uncertain and difficult to serve. He should be very careful not to touch him.
