However, Peng Zhou did not even look at her when he entered the room. Instead, he immediately locked his gaze on the thirteenth princess.
On the other hand, the usually arrogant thirteenth princess seemed to be very afraid of Peng Zhou. With just a glare from him, the thirteenth princess was so frightened that she hid behind her four little ones.
Peng Zhou did not take the thirteenth princess’s reaction to heart. He took a step forward and cupped his hands in salute to Gu qingxue. “We pay our respects to Doctor Gu. This subordinate is under the orders of the crown prince to bring the thirteenth princess back to the palace. Thank you Doctor
Gu to take care of the princess.”
Leng Shuang also bent down and waved at the thirteenth Princess, “Your
Highness, it’s getting late, You should return to the palace with this servant.”
The thirteenth princess turned her head away. “l don’t want to. I haven’t had enough fun yet. I don’t want to go back.”
Leng Shuang could feel the pressure that Peng Zhou was releasing and she felt even more nervous. She forced an awkward smile on her face and said, “Your Highness, please don’t be so willful. If you don’t return to the palace, the empress dowager will definitely be unhappy.”
“Grandmother will be angry if we go back now anyway,” the thirteenth princess mumbled. “Since that’s the case, why don’t we stay in the prince regent’s residence for a while longer?”
Gu Qingxue could not help but find it funny when she saw that Leng Shuang was so anxious that she was sweating.
It seemed like the maidservant that the crown prince had planted beside the thirteenth princess was not very smart. She was only watching the thirteenth princess throw a tantrum and was already so nervous. She was not as calm as Peng Zhou and no one could see through her.
Gu Qingxue retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes. “It’s rare for the thirteenth princess to come to the prince regent’s residence as a guest. The prince regent’s has specifically ordered us to personally send the thirteenth princess back to the palace when the sky is dark, and then go to the empress dowager to apologize. I don’t dare to disobey His Royal Highness’s orders, so I can only trouble young master Pengzhou to make this trip in vain.”
“Doctor Gu, you can’t not give face to His Highness the Crown Prince.” As Peng Zhou spoke, his long and narrow eyes shot out a sharp and cold light.
Gu Qingxue was not afraid at all. Her eyes moved, and her cold gaze met Peng Zhou’s.
The two of them did not give in to each other. Gu Qingxue’s lips suddenly curled up into a cold smile. “I’ve always heard that the crown prince is kind, but I didn’t expect that he would send his men to the prince regent’s residence to save face.’
Peng Zhou retracted the sharp glint in his eyes. He lowered his head and cupped his hands at Gu Qingxue. “Doctor Gu is too serious. It’s just that His Highness the Crown Prince thought that the princess is still under house arrest and should act with caution, so he specifically asked this subordinate to take the princess back to the palace as soon as possible to avoid the Empress Dowager’s blame. Thirteenth Princess, the crown prince asked me to tell you that as long as you obediently return this time, the crown prince will enter the palace tomorrow to ask the empress dowager to remove your house arrest.”
The resistance on the thirteenth princess’s face immediately disappeared after she heard this. “Really? I knew that brother is the best to me! Lil t Han, I’ll go back first today, I’ll come and play with you after I’m released!”
Leng Shuang did not want to let go of such a good opportunity. She quickly walked up to the thirteenth Princess and held her hand, “I’ll bring the thirteenth princess back first.”
“This subordinate will also take his leave.” Peng Zhou also perfunctorily cupped his hands, then turned around and strode away without looking back.
“Young Miss, His Highness the Crown Prince appears to be very gentle to the outside world, but in reality, he is very ambitious. He has always been suppressing the other princes to ensure his position as the crown prince. It’s just that Imperial Duke Zhan and Young Master Liuye don’t like the crown prince’s way of doing things, so for so many years, no matter how much the crown Prince has extended an olive branch to them, the two have never joined the crown prince’s side.” As Qin Yun spoke, she picked up the teapot on the table and poured some tea into Gu Qingxue’s cup..
