Chapter 244: The Prince can be well

Chapter 244

She didn't mean to harm her child either, she also had her difficulties... Who told Gu Ying to have such bad luck tonight, just to run into her.

She sat by the fire for a while, then turned around to fetch her medicine box and took out brush, ink, paper and inkstone to write a prescription by the firelight.

Yin Lan took it and Gu Ying looked at it under the firelight. It was a prescription to activate blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis, nothing wrong with it.

Besides, they didn't directly give her medicine to take either, only asked her to fetch the herbs herself. She was slightly relieved and told Yin Lan to take the prescription, planning to find an herbal medicine shop to get the medicine once they entered Yueyang City.

Yin Lan carefully folded the prescription and put it inside her inner garment, patting it with her hand.

Shen Ruxu watched their movements between mistress and servant. Her expression was calm but a storm raged in her heart.

I'm sorry...

That child cannot be kept...

Tormented inside, she really could not sit any longer. She got up and squatted on the ground to pack up her medicine box.

Gu Ying looked up and saw Shen Ruxu's actions. "Miss Shen, are you leaving?"

Shen Ruxu's actions froze slightly, but still put on a smile. "Madam, I came here today to gather herbs and have received your kind help... I don't know how to repay you. I only wish madam's health will recover soon. Now it's getting late, I shall take my leave first."

Perhaps she couldn't bear to look at Gu Ying's extremely beautiful face even without makeup, or perhaps she couldn't face her own guilt, she didn't want to stay here a moment longer.

Gu Ying asked her to stay, "It's already late, wouldn't it be even more dangerous for Miss Shen to go out now?"

Ning Si said, "That's right, Miss Shen, please stay with us and leave tomorrow morning when it's bright."

Shen Ruxu forced a smile. "To tell the truth, I'm working for the government. With the snow disaster in Yueyang, many people were injured. I'm responsible for treating those victims. Usually my s...er...superior would send people to protect me specially. But today when I went out to gather herbs, there weren't enough people, so I encountered this danger... But don't worry madam, people will come to receive me soon."

The Prince cares about her. As soon as he finds her missing, he would definitely search for her soon.

She can't let Gu Ying be seen by the Prince's people. It's better to leave quickly.

Maids swarmed over and swarmed away.

Soon, Gu Ying with her true visage revealed dazzled the eyes of everyone in the Ning family.

"This is the Prince's Madam, Second Miss of the Gu family?" Elder Ning asked. "This old man only heard that the prince's wife is as beautiful as a goddess. Now seeing her, it is true indeed."

Gu Ying's entire body felt uncomfortable standing in the middle of the great hall with everyone staring at her. She had no choice but to smile embarrassedly. "Elder flatters me too much."

"You can call me grandfather, just like Si." Elder Ning's eyes gleamed as he looked at Gu Ying's unparalleled clear and beautiful little face. He truly liked her very much. "It's not this old man flattering you. The Prince himself has said before that his wife is the number one beauty in the world. That's why the people of Yueyang were so curious."

Gu Ying's heart tightened. She immediately stood up from her chair anxiously. "Grandfather, has the Prince been in Yueyang City before too? I wonder where he is now. I came here specially to look for him! Please tell me the Prince's whereabouts!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Ning saw the young girl's anxious expression and knew that as a newly wedded young couple, they must be reluctant to part from each other. He glanced around and quickly called over his grandson.

"What a coincidence! Ying, my grandson Changan works under the Prince. It's perfect. You can ask him anything you want to know!"

Very soon, a youth was pushed into the inner hall. Before he could ask what had happened, he saw the smiling face of his cousin Ning Si and an exquisite face he had never seen before yet was so beautiful it was unbelievable.

He was stunned for a moment, standing in the doorway. "Grandfather, this young lady is—"

Elder Ning smiled. "She's the Prince's Madam who rushed over specially from Bianjing. Changan, come quickly pay your respects."

The youth was startled for a moment, then quickly walked up and bowed to the woman as beautiful as a painting. "The Prince's Madam? Why would the Prince's Madam be here?"

Ning Si pulled her grandfather's arm happily. "I brought her here from Bianjing."

Ning Changan helplessly smiled, the corners of his lips arching indulgently. "You, don't you understand proper etiquette at all? The Prince's Madam's status is noble. How could she suffer such displacement and disorder from your nonsense."

Ning Si said, "What does brother know? Ying came specially for the Prince this time. We received bad news about the Prince in Bianjing. We couldn't wait and came ourselves to investigate."

Only then did Ning Changan lift his head, though he didn't dare look straight at Gu Ying's eyes either. "Did the Prince's Madam come to meet His Highness?"

Gu Ying was anxious throughout the journey. The moment she heard that Ning Changan had seen the Prince, she looked at the refined youth opposite her with unconcealed pleasant surprise. "Master Ning, I wonder if His Highness is well now?"
