Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“That’s good. Hurry up and get ready. We’ll wait for the Eldest Miss and the others to return,” said Nanny Sheng.
With Rong Xiaotian’s order, Gu Qingxue immediately left the palace with Rong Zhan in a carriage and returned to the prince regent’s residence.
On the way, Gu Qingxue told Rong Zhan about Rong Xiaotian’s intention to hide the matter. When she was talking to Rong Zhan, she had been carefully observing the man’s reaction, afraid that he would be affected by his physical condition.
However, Gu Qingxue did not see anything wrong with Rong Zhan’s expression at all. She could not help but feel that she was overthinking it.
Rong Zhan did not care about all this at all, as if he was npt the one who was paralyzed.
Rong Zhan, Rong Han, and Gu Qingxue were in the carriage.
Gu Qingxue sat opposite the father and son, looking at Rong Han who was sleeping soundly on Rong Zhan’s lap with her eyes closed.
Rong Zhan was dressed in a snow-white robe. Although he looked pale, he did not look weak. He was still giving off a strong aura and was gently stroking Rong Han’s head.
In any case, Rong Zhan was so calm that Gu Qingxue could not understand.
“Your Royal Highness, are you really fine?” Gu Qingxue could not help but feel curious as she stared at Rong Zhan.
“Will my legs recover if I’m restless?” Rong Zhan asked without looking sideways.
“Of course not,” Gu Qingxue muttered.
“In that case, it’s better to act according to the circ.u.mstances. Besides, I think it’s not a bad thing for me to be paralyzed now.” As Rong Zhan spoke, he reached out his well-defined hand and pinched his knee.
Gu Qingxue raised her brows before she understood what Rong Zhan meant.
“Your Royal Highness, do you think that after Prince Hengs death, His Majesty will turn the spearhead to you?”
“His Majesty is good at balancing things out. Previously, Prince Heng and I restrained each other, so His Majesty could sit back and reap the benefits. However, Prince Hengs sudden death will inevitably make His Majesty dislike me, so the timing of my legs being crippled is just right.” Rong Zhan’s tone was extremely calm.
Gu Qingxue had to admit that Rong Zhan’s a.n.a.lysis made sense. Prince Heng was dead, and his power had collapsed. Without Prince Hengs restraint, Rong Zhan would become the top official in the imperial court. He already had military power and was highly respected in the imperial court and the hearts of the people. As the Emperor, Rong Xiaotian would naturally be afraid of him.
Gu Qingxue had been interacting with Rong Xiaotian for a long time, and she knew that he was a very doubtful ruler. Otherwise, he would not have turned a blind eye to the fight between Prince Heng and Rong Zhan and allowed them to keep each other in check.
Therefore, rather than becoming a thorn in Rong Xiaotian’s side after Prince
Hengs death, it would be better for Rong Zhan to be paralyzed. This way, Rong Xiaotian would not find Rong Zhan an eyesore. Instead, he would be worried that Rong Zhan would collapse with Prince Heng. If that happened, no one would be able to support the previous dynasty.
Gu Qingxue lifted her chin and looked at Rong Zhan’s legs. She said worriedly, “Your Highness is right, but Your Highness is really paralyzed and not acting. This illness came suddenly, and who knows how many days it will take to cure it. ”
“It’s fine. I’ll leave this matter to you. I believe in your strength.” As Rong Zhan spoke, his deep gaze swept over to Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue only felt that Rong Zhan’s gaze was too deep, and her heart could not help but tremble. She then lowered her head to hide the nervousness that flashed through her eyes..
