“Sister-in-law, I’m here to see my granduncle. My grandmother heard that he is not feeling well and specially asked me to come over to take a look.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she kept an eye on Ke Ran’s expression.

After Ke Ran heard what she said, she was not only unhappy, but she also had a troubled expression on her face. “Logically speaking, it is a good thing that you travelled miles to come here. Unfortunately, grandfather has already gone to rest. The doctor had said before that once grandfather was resting, he could not be disturbed and we could only wait for grandfather to wake up. Grandfather would usually sleep for an entire day, so I’m afraid that you would not be able to see him today. Why don’t you come back another day?”

“Sister-in-law, 1 am also a doctor but I have never heard of such rules. However, since you’ve spoken, I don’t think you’ll lie. Don’t worry, I’m patient and I don’t mind waiting here slowly,” Gu Qingxue said with a fake smile.

After hearing what Gu Qingxue said, Ke Ran hesitated for a moment. “Sis…

Isn’t this a little inappropriate? His Royal Highness is accompanying you. Even if you have the patience to wait here, it would not be good to delay His Royal Highness’ time.”

“I’m fine with it. I’m also concerned about Old General Qi’s health, and I’ll only be at ease after I’ve seen him. However, what are your intentions, Madam Ke? You’ve been stopping Qingxue from meeting Old General Qi.” Rong Zhan’s words were as sharp as a knife as he looked at Ke Ran coldly.

Ke Ran’s heart instantly panicked. She hurriedly explained, ‘Your Royal

Highness really knows how to joke. How would this commoner dare…”

“If that’s the case, then please take us to see my granduncle. If he’s really fine, we’ll leave immediately and won’t disturb him.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she had already stood up from her seat. Her sharp gaze was cast on Ke Ran, not giving her any time to hesitate.

Ke Ran was caught in a dilemma. After hesitating and struggling for a while, he finally nodded his head and said, “Of course. Then please follow me, Your Royal Highness and Sis.”

Ke Ran led the way and left. Rong Zhan and Gu Qingxue followed closely behind. They followed her all the way to the Qi family’s backyard. After pa.s.sing through the long corridor, they stopped outside the courtyard where Old General Qi lived.

What surprised Gu Qingxue was that Old General Qi’s courtyard was filled with secret guards. Their auras were all extraordinary, and they stood there in an aggressive manner. No one dared to underestimate them.

“Your Royal Highness and Sister, don’t worry. Ever since grandfather fell ill, our family has been worried about his safety, so we have placed so many people here. We have no other intentions.” Ke Ran saw that Rong Zhan and Gu Qingxue were looking around carefully. His heart tightened and he quickly explained.

“Is that so?” After Gu Qingxue heard this, she only gave a light laugh.

Ke Ran was confessing. They had not even asked her anything yet, but she had already blurted it out.

Ke Ran’s expression turned even uglier. She did not dare to say a word and obediently led the two of them into the room.

“Grandfather, the prince regent and Sister Gu from the Gu family have come to see you.” As Ke Ran said this, she could not help but look at Rong Zhan with adoration..
