Translator: EndlessFantasv Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Chengbin was so scared that his legs turned to jelly and he said in a panic, “Your Highness, it’s so cold. If I kneel for the whole night, I’ll lose a layer of skin even if I don’t die!”
Gu Qingxue calmly stood up and left. She said in a faint voice, “The princess has already shown mercy. If you insist on being calculative, the princess and I don’t mind making another trip to the palace.
Seeing that Gu Chengbin was scared silly, Gong Lingyu could not help but want to laugh.
Gu Qingxue hurriedly shot Gong Lingyu a look, indicating that she had to act until the end.
Gong Lingyu nodded lightly, revealing a pampered expression. “It seems that Imperial Physician Gu did not cherish the opportunity I gave. Since it’s like this, I should go and find my grandmother.”
Gu Chengbin’s eyes widened and he quickly stopped her. “No! This official, this official admits his punishment. I beg the princess to forgive me…”
Only then was Gu Qingxue satisfied. Holding hands with Gong Lingyu, they returned to the princess’ residence
After making sure that Gu Chengbin outside the door could not hear them, Gong Lingyu’s shoulders trembled. Then, she could not help but laugh out loud. “Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter! Sister Gu, did you see Gu Chengbin’s expression just now? We’ve almost scared him out of his wits!
“I don’t want to go back to the Gu family. They know l’m not willing, but they still came to me. They clearly want to provoke me, so I naturally won’t let them. Yu’er, it’s all thanks to your cooperation in acting with me. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have progressed so smoothly,” Gu Qinp<ue said.
Gong Lingyu smiled in embarrassment. “Who asked them to bully Sister Gu? Sister Gu, I’ll tell you in secret. In fact, I rarely use my identity as a princess to bully others, but if it’s for Sister Gu, I’m very happy to break my precept.”
Of course, Gong Lingyu did not do it simply to help her Sister Gu. She could only blame the Gu family for going too far in bullying her, and she couldnt bear it.
Gu Qingxue looked at Gong Lingyu lovingly and reached out to stroke her head. “So you’ve sacrificed so much today? Looks like I’ll have to reward you well and make you a good meal.”
Gong Lingyu had seen Gu Qingxue’s cooking before and still couldn’t forget it. She hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The news of Gu Qingxue’s reward quickly spread like wildfire through the streets of Jing City.
When everyone heard about Gu Qingxue’s story, they could not help but sigh at her good luck.
Female doctors were rare, and the number of female doctors in the palace could be counted on one hand. Most of them were not skilled in medicine, and most of the time, they could only be a foil to the male imperial physicians.
However, Gu Qingxue had been given the title of a third-grade female doctor the moment she came up and had become the cream of the crop among female doctors. This made many people pay attention to the female doctors who had silently contributed to the male doctors.
While everyone envied Gu Qingxue, they would also mention the Gu family as
it they were talking about a joke.
The news that Gu Chengbin had offended the princess and disdained the emperor’s authority spread like wildfire, and everyone treated it as a joke.
There were even rumors in Jing City that Gu Qingxue was not close to the Gu family not because she was ungrateful, but because the first branch of the Gu family had schemed against her. Even when Gu Qingxue married into a remote village, it was also the first branch’s scheme.
In the face of these rumors, the first branch of the Gu family had no time to care about them. All their attention was on Gu Chengbin..
