191 The Empress Dowager’s Illness Broke Out

Before the two of them could even whisper in each other’s ears, Rong Zhan’s voice came from within the study. “Ji Yan, come in.”

“I told you that His Royal Highness would not let you off so easily. Just wait for your bad luck to come in.” Qing Lian did not believe Ji Yan’s nonsense at all. He gloated at Ji Yan’s misfortune.

Ji Yan’s heart was beating a little, and he hurriedly entered the study.

Qing Lian stood where he was without moving. He calmly waited for Ji Yan to quickly come out of the study.

Seeing Ji Yan’s blank expression, Qing Lian walked forward with a mischievous smile. “I told you not to court death. How was it? How did His Royal Highness punish you? Let’s go to the disciplinary hall and get beaten up together.”

Ji Yan shook his head. “HisRoyal Highness didn’t punish me. His Royal Highness asked me to deliver the letter.”

Qing Lian was puzzled. “To whom?”

Ji Yan had a look of suspicion on his face. “To Eldest Miss Gu. His Royal Highness has replied to her letter!”

This time, Qing Lian also looked in the direction of the study in disbelief. He silently left with Ji Yan. Before he was about to be punished, he wanted to find Liu Yi to find out who this Miss Gu was.

That night, Rong Zhan accompanied the old prince and Rong Han for dinner. After bathing and changing, he returned to his room.

After he left, Rong Zhan walked to the side of the bed and opened the box at the head of the bed.

There were two handkerchiefs in the exquisite box. After Rong Zhan looked at it, he casually put the letter that he received today into the box.

After doing all this, Rong Zhan raised his hand and waved it. He blew out the candle with internal energy in his palm, flipped onto the bed, and closed his eyes to rest.

Time flew by, and a figure suddenly appeared in Rong Zhan’s sleep.

A faint fragrance came from the woman’s body, like vines wrapping around his body.

Her tender arms wrapped around his neck, and sweat dripped down to resist the lingering fragrance.

Everything seemed to be real as if it was not a dream. Rong Zhan grunted and saw the woman’s face clearly when he climbed to the top of the mountain.

Her skin was as fair as snow, and her jade was her soul. Gu Qingxue’s cold eyes were filled with tears, and her usual cold expression was replaced by pa.s.sion. Seeing that he was frozen, she wrapped her arms around his neck and obediently offered her thin lips.

Rong Zhan watched Gu Qingxue’s movements quietly. Just as he was about to touch her lips, he heard an orderly knock on the door.

He suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep. Rong Zhan sat up straight and suddenly felt a little out of place.

He lifted the quilt and looked inside. To his surprise, Rong Zhan saw a wet mark on his underwear.

Rong Zhan’s expression changed for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and covered himself with the quilt, holding his forehead as he recalled the dream just now.

What a good Gu Qingxue. She was really bold.

However, when he thought about the dream just now, it was definitely not something that Gu Qingxue could control, Rong Zhan’s expression changed again.

Outside the door, Liu Yi knocked on the door but surprisingly did not receive a response.

“Your Royal Highness.” Liu Yi called out. Seeing that no one responded, he was about to continue knocking on the door when he finally heard Rong Zhan’s deep voice coming from inside the room.

“What is it?”

He did not hear the unnaturalness hidden in Rong Zhan’s words. Liu Yi said, “Reporting to Your Royal Highness, there is a message from the palace saying that the empress dowager is in poor health. Your Royal Highness, please enter the palace immediately to attend to her illness.”

“Mm, go prepare the carriage.” Inside the room, Rong Zhan gritted his teeth and squeezed out another sentence, “Also, prepare a set of clean clothes for me!”

“Yes.”Liuyi was puzzled, but he did not dare to ask further and hurriedly went down to prepare.

An hour later, Fengkang Palace…

Rong Zhan’s expression was cold as he had just come from outside the door. He saw the old nanny beside the empress dowager, Nanny Bi Zhu, walking over quickly and bowing to him, “Your Royal Highness, the empress dowager is having a stroke and is constantly talking about you. Please go and take a look.”
