Gu Qingxue’s eyes narrowed slightly, but she soon figured it out.

In the end, MO Yunye was the prince of an enemy country. How could he have come this time as an ordinary envoy?

Rong Zhan said, “But he has always been cautious. Even I can’t find a suitable opportunity to strike. It just so happened that he insisted on waiting outside your house that day, so I went with the flow.”

“No matter what Your Royal Highness’s reason is, I’m very satisfied. Many thanks, Your Royal Highness.” When Gu Qingxue heard from Qin Yun that Rong Zhan had appeared outside MO Yunye’s private residence on the day of the fire, she guessed that Rong Zhan must have had something to do with the fire.

“But he didn’t learn his lesson.” When Rong Zhan mentioned MO Yunye, there was a murderous look in his eyes.

If MO Yunye had really learned his lesson, he would not have waited bitterly at the Gu residence’s entrance until now.

Gu Qingxue casually tucked her stray hair behind her ears. “That’s his business. Your Royal Highness, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Seeing how Gu Qingxue’s tone was especially calm when she mentioned MO Yunye, Rong Zhan felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

“You’ve heard about what you’ve been busy with recently. If you want to investigate what happened back then, you don’t have to spend so much effort. I can give you a hand,” Rong Zhan said indifferently.

Gu Qingxue shook her head without hesitation and rejected Rong Zhan’s offer. “Your Royal Highness, this is a private matter of the Gu family. I only want to solve it myself, so I won’t trouble you.”

Seeing Gu Qingxue’s insistence, Rong Zhan did not continue to pursue this topic.

Gu Qingxue seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Rong Zhan and reminded him with a serious expression, “Your Royal Highness, you need to be extra careful with the poison in your body. The pill made from Dragon Marrow Grass could suppress the toxicity of the poison to a certain extent, but it could not guarantee that it would be safe. When the medicine loses its effect and the poison acts up again, His Royal Highness’s condition will be even more serious than before.’

Rong Zhan was deep in thought. He stared at Gu Qingxue and asked, “In other words, I only have one last chance. If the poison acts up the next time, my situation will be more serious than this time?”

Gu Qingxue massaged the space between her brows, feeling a headache coming on. She nodded and answered, “Yes. However, as long as Your Royal Highness is not angered or seriously injured, the medicinal effects of the Dragon Marrow Grass Pill can last for at least half a year. Before that, I will definitely think of a way to cure your illness.”

Looking at Gu Qingxue’s serious expression, the smile on Rong Zhan’s lips disappeared in an instant.

Gu Qingue rarely saw him smile, so she could not help but take a second look.

Then, she realized that her gaze seemed to be too intense, so she hurriedly looked away. “Your Royal Highness, when you go back, you can persuade Lil’ Han. I’m fine. I only hope that you will continue to help me keep the matter of me pretending to be sick a secret until I have investigated the truth.”

“Mmhm.” Rong Zhan acknowledged and stared deeply at Gu Qingxue.

Gu Qingxue did not understand what Rong Zhan’s gaze meant and tilted her head in confusion. “Does Your Royal Highness still have something to say?”

“You were the one who took care of me when I was poisoned. Did anything happen at that time?” Rong Zhan observed Gu Qingxue’s expression as he spoke.

Gu Qingxue naturally thought of the two kisses and instantly felt her face burn even more.

However, Gu Qingxue said, “At that time, I tried my best to save Your Royal

Highness, and nothing special happened.. Why are you suddenly asking this?”
