570 Ask for Help (5)

Gao Yang and Luo Tan waited in the main hall for a moment. Half an hour later, Prince Rui, who was wearing a mask, appeared.

Luo Tan was anxious. If it were in the past, when she was in such close contact with Prince Rui for the first time, she would definitely open her eyes and see what kind of person Prince Rui was. However, the current situation was urgent. Every moment she waited, Shen Miao might be in more danger. She glanced at Gao Yang, who was still drinking tea, and said to Prince Rui, “Prince Rui, can we talk in private?”

Prince Rui nodded slightly. Luo Tan was secretly delighted, thinking that Prince Rui was not as unapproachable as the rumors said.

After entering the adjacent room, Luo Tan knelt down without a word and said, “Prince Rui, please save my cousin!” She told him what Shen Miao had taught her to say and added in the end, “Since my cousin trusts you so much, I also believe that you will be able to save her. Although I can’t take anything out to pay you now, if you find my cousin, the Shen family will definitely reward you handsomely. Please save her!”

She kowtowed on the ground.

“I hear you,” Prince Rui said.

Luo Tan felt that something was amiss, but she could not tell what it was. She subconsciously said, “Prince Rui, does it mean you agreed to save my cousin?”

Prince Rui nodded slightly.

“Thank you, Prince Rui!” Luo Tan kowtowed to him again in joy and was about to stand up. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, she felt her vision go dark and she suddenly fell to the ground and fainted.

Prince Rui was shocked and subconsciously reached out to grab her, shouting, “Guards! Gao Yang!”

Gao Yang came in from outside and was shocked at first. He quickly walked forward and grabbed Luo Tan’s arm to take her pulse. A moment later, he put down his hand and sighed. “She’s too weak. Make her a bowl of ginseng soup and pour it down her throat. When she wakes up, I’ll send her back.”

Two maids came in from outside and helped the unconscious Luo Tan to the bed. Gao Yang and Prince Rui walked out of the room. Prince Rui suddenly took the silver mask off his face. “I’m suffocating. Why did you ask me to pretend to be Third Brother?”

This person was not Xie Jingxing, but Ji Yushu.

“I don’t know when he’ll be back. We can’t let Luo Tan stay here until it’s dark. When the Shen family comes looking for her, it’ll be hard to explain. Anyway, Xie Jingxing has already gone to find out where Shen Miao is. Just pretend to be him and let her leave early,” Gao Yang said.

Ji Yushu took a deep breath. “I can’t do this anymore. This is the first time someone has knelt down and kowtowed to me in my life. I can’t take this. When she got down on her knees just now, my heart was about to jump out. Fortunately, I didn’t make a mistake. Otherwise, if Third Brother finds out that I pretended to be him, he will definitely beat me up.”

Gao Yang said, “Fortunately, she’s stupid.”

“Are you saying that my acting was bad?” Ji Yushu said angrily, “She even knelt down and knowtowed. It’s enough to show how excellent my acting was.”

Gao Yang waved his hand. “I can’t be bothered to talk to you.”

“But why did she call you Doctor Gao?” Ji Yushu said suspiciously, “Are you no longer in the palace and have opened a clinic to be a doctor?”

Gao Yang was speechless.
