1454 Back to Gu Mansion 1

Elder Miss had ordered that she should not be disturbed, as she was taking a break in the room. Sword One would not have pa.s.sed on any messages about Officer Gu under such a condition. Elder Miss was the Phoenix Girl, and she had all the rights to turn down anyone she did not wish to meet.

However, Sword One still pa.s.sed on the message, because her Elder Miss said that she would meet Officer Gu when he came to the door again.

That was why the messager was at the doorstep.

Sword One was just thinking about this when the door of the room was opened. Gu Chaoyan appeared and Sword One was about to sort her clothes out when she found her neatly dressed. So she did not take a nap?

!!

Sword One was a little confused.

De Fu greeted them and smiled. “Lady Chaoyan, the King and Officer Gu are waiting for you at Qianqing Palace. Please, come with me.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded and followed De Fu.

De Fu was smiling brightly and happily.

He had received a favor from Lady Chaoyan, and he needed to pay it back. He had to obey the King first before considering Lady Chaoyan, but he could give her some help without the King being affected. However, now that Lady Chaoyan was the Phoenix Girl, he did not need to worry about what to do when the King gave Lady Chaoyan a hard time.

De Fu was in a good mood as he led her directly to Qianqing Palace.

When they came to Qianqing Palace, De Fu gave her a new hand fireplace to exchange the one in Gu Chaoyan’s hands, and then put away her cloak for her personally.

Gu Chaoyan was the second person to receive such treatment from De Fu.

De Fu had been working for the King since childhood, so he was different from the other servants. He was only devoted to the King, not to anybody else, including the Crown Prince.

Gu Chaoyan did not say anything as she noticed what De Fu was doing for her, but she kept it in mind.

Sword One waited for her outside, as Gu Chaoyan walked into Qianqing Palace alone.

The moment she walked in… Gu Zhenkang smiled brightly. So did the King, who forced a smile, which was more weird. The King still could not accept that Gu Chaoyan was the Phoenix Girl, but he had to treat her as one on the surface.

At Qianqing Palace.

Gu Chaoyan had been offered a seat and hot tea, which was an order they gave earlier.

“Your father is in the court to see you. So you are here. Are you doing well at Xingsi Hall? If not, you can pick any place else in the whole court. Or you can get some more servants. You can’t always have so few.”

“…”

“If you don’t feel like living in the court, you can move back to the Gu Mansion. Your father mentioned this to me today. You can move back to the mansion and take some servants from the court.”
