1359 Happening 2

Gu Chaoyan turned around and left. She did not linger in the wagon, nor did she say anything more.

Duke North smiled bitterly.

He still looked very pale, but he was very glad that she was at least speaking to him, wasn’t she?

He looked at his wrist, and seemed very excited, then he looked at the guard and reached out to his guard. “Lin Qin, give me the pill!”

!!

The guard hesitated.

He was not very willing to do so. He did not want the Duke to have any fantasy.

He sighed and put the pill bottle on Duke North’s hands, sighing with his head lowered. “Duke, I will fetch some water. You can eat the pill before we continue.”

Then he went to make preparations.

Duke North did not seem to hear what he said. He was looking at this small, white medical bottle.

He was familiar with the bottle.

There were actually some of these in the Xinlin Clinic in the capital. There were ten pills in a jar for one thousand liang. There was a red plum blossom-shaped logo on the bottom of the small white medicine bottle, and Xinlin Clinic’s logo was printed next to it. The medicine bottle in his hand now also had a red plum blossom-shaped logo, but it did not have the same logo printed on it, which meant that Chaoyan was carrying it with her.

He smiled briefly and was cheered up.

When the guard, Lin Qin, came over with the water bag, he saw Duke North smiling faintly at the small medicine pot. Lin Qin really rarely saw such a smile. The Duke never smiled like this when he got married. And he never did it since then. He felt that this smile was very familiar, but he couldn’t remember seeing it anywhere.

He sighed inwardly.

Duke North had changed.

Maybe it was because he had experienced life and death at the border, so he was no longer as steady as before. He started to think for himself, not for the whole mansion.

He would have been very happy to see that if the Duke was a young man, but Duke North was already married, Madame Duke had just gotten better, and Lady Chaoyan was someone the Duke could not possibly get in his lifetime.

He was very worried.

He did not want Lady Chaoyan and Duke North to meet ever again.

He was wondering what would happen if the situation went on like this.

Lin Qin took back the water bag, left and went back to his horse.

He continued to go forward.

Gu Chaoyan and Li Qing were heading shoulder to shoulder, because the hidden guard found that there was a hostel ahead of them. They were not in a big hurry to arrive there. So they felt slightly more relaxed.

Gu Chaoyan looked at Li Qing, asking. “Did you notice that Duke North could be suffering from a cold when you put on the medicine for Duke North?”

“No… Duke North seemed very well when I put on the medicine for him. He did not seem as if he had a cold.” Li Qing said confusedly. He did not notice any of this before. He saw Duke North recovering very well.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head slightly.

Duke North was suffering from a serious cold when she went to check on him today.

It was a long process before the cold occurred, so if Li Qing did not notice anything, what made it so serious today?
