1331 Duke North 2

Gu Chaoyan remembered this guard. He worked for Duke North.

Duke North had woken up, then?

He should have woken up by this point, but… He was asking for her?

Privately speaking… Gu Chaoyan did not have the intention of meeting Duke North. Gu Chaoyan had always regarded Duke North as her friend. However, because of the existence of the book Gu Chaoyan had the intention of dodging the meeting to avoid potential rumors.

!!

Otherwise she would always feel strange when facing Duke North, as this thing is going on in her mind.

Duke North was not single and he had been married to Mrs. Duke North for a while. The story went that Madame Duke North kept talking about having a grandson, and she was engaged too, so if Duke North was thinking of her in this way, she might be a bit embarra.s.sed to see him personally.

Therefore, Gu Chaoyan was hesitant about the meeting.

Also, if Duke North had woken up, he must be doing okay. He should recover gradually by taking Yinghan’s medicine, so there was no need for her to visit him again.

Gu Chaoyan contemplated for a long while.

Zhou Huaijin was striding towards Gu Chaoyan from beside General Huangpu at this moment. Zhou Huaijin was wearing a white long gown with a black fox fur cloak outside. He had a serious and handsome expression on his face. He had a very exquisite face, so he looked really intimidating. When the guard working for Duke North saw Zhou Huaijin approaching, his eyes were full of guilt. Duke North was not lucky to have fallen for the girl who was already engaged to an outstanding being. So all Duke North could do was to hide his feelings. Duke North still had some lingering feelings for Gu Chaoyan, so he tried to help as much as he could.

He was still holding his neck stiff as he waited for Lady Chaoyan’s reply.

“Duke North is awake, just go and visit him to see if he is well enough. You are his doctor, so you need to check on him so that people can be a.s.sured,” Zhou Huaijin said gently. “We are done with the plan, and we can talk about what happens next.”

Gu Chaoyan hesitated for a while, then she nodded.

She looked at the guard and said calmly, “In that case, let’s go and check on him. Please show me the way.”

The guard let out a large sigh of relief, but he did not show that in front of her. Instead, he started to lead the way a bit cheerfully.

Duke North was a Duke, and he was a chief, so he was not far from General Huangpu’s tent, so they soon arrived.

Zhou Huaijin still had a few things to entrust to the hidden guards, so Gu Chaoyan went in alone.

As soon as she entered, she saw Duke North lying on the bed. It was the same as when he was at the imperial hospital in the court. He was seriously injured and couldn’t get up. He could only lie there. The difference was that here the conditions were not as good as those back there, and the tent was very shabby, and General Huangpu had been offering the basin with coals to him.

Gu Chaoyan felt Duke North’s pulse the moment she walked in.

She wanted to check how he was doing.

As she had expected, he was recovering well except for the external wounds that needed time to heal.

Duke North was also looking at Gu Chaoyan.
