With Gu Qingxue’s guarantee, the little ones immediately looked at ease. They then accompanied Rong Han as they entered the Regent Kings residence, chatting and laughing.

The first thing Rong Zhan did when he returned to the residence was to see the old prince.

In the main hall, the old prince was waiting with a grave expression.

Although he had received the news in advance, when the old prince saw Rong

Zhan being pushed into the room in a wheelchair, his old eyes still turned red. He gritted his teeth and asked, “How did it end up like this?”

Rong Han came forward and knelt down in front of the old prince. He said with self-blame, “Great- grandfather, if you want to blame someone, blame me. At that time, Father was bitten by a poisonous insect because he was trying to protect me.”

The old prince looked at Rong Han’s guilty expression, and his heart felt as if it was being squeezed by a pair of big hands. “Silly child, how can you be blamed for this? It’s a good thing you weren’t implicated, or else great-grandpa would be worried to death. Quick, help Han’er up. Zhan ‘er, is there any possibility of your leg recovering?”

“With Qingxue around, it’s naturally possible to recover,” Rong Zhan said calmly.

Gu Qingxue immediately felt the old prince’s gaze, which was filled with antic.i.p.ation, falling on her from a distance. “Your Highness, the Gu Poison in His Royal Highness’ body has already been removed. All he needs to do now is rest and stimulate his legs, and he should be able to recover very quickly.”

With the two’s a.s.surance, the old prince’s hanging heart finally relaxed a little. “That’s good. Zhan P er, you don’t have to worry too much. As long as you can recover, it’s not a problem. Besides, it’s also good that you don’t stand out now. You don’t want to become the target of public criticism after Prince Hengs death.”

“l also think so.” As Rong Zhan spoke, a glint flashed across his eyes. He looked up at the worried old prince. “Grandfather, I have something to talk to you in private.

Gu Qingxue understood. She held two little ones in each hand and said to them in a soft voice, “Let’s go out and play.”

“Mmhm!” The four little ones obediently nodded and left the hall with Gu Qingxue.

The old prince looked at Rong Zhan with dissatisfaction and said, “Is there anything that you can’t let Qingxue hear? What if she thinks too much?”

In the eyes of the old prince, Gu Qingxue was not an outsider at all, but Rong Zhan had kicked her out on his own.

“What I’m about to tell grandfather is indeed not suitable for her to hear.” Rong Zhan looked up at the old prince as he spoke.

The old prince met Rong Zhan’s gaze in confusion and frowned. “What are you trying to say?”

Rong Zhan waved his hand, and the servants in the hall left obediently. Soon, only the grandfather and grandson were left in the room.

The old prince could not figure out what Rong Zhan was up to. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Rong Zhan stand up from the wheelchair on his own.

At that moment, the old prince could not believe his eyes. He raised his hand and pointed at Rong Zhan. “Y-you, aren’t you paralyzed?”

“Grandfather, His Majesty has always been suspicious, so I have to think of a way to avoid trouble,” Rong Zhan said indifferently as he walked to the empty seat beside the old prince and sat down.

The old prince was surprised at first, but then he reacted and could not help but laugh..
