The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again! Chapter 420 – 420 But What Decree Does the Empress Dowager Have?

420 But What Decree Does the Empress Dowager Have?

However, she could not disobey him on the surface, so she bowed and thanked him. “Your subject thanks Your Majesty for your kindness. Long live Your Majesty.”

Rong Xiaotian was very satisfied with Gu Qingxue’s attitude. “Prince Regent, send someone to send Minister Gu back to her residence. Minister Gu, don’t worry. After two days of rest, you can report to the imperial hospital.”

“Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.” Gu Qingxue then left the imperial study with Rong Zhan.

Gu Qingxue’s face fell as soon as she stepped out of the imperial study and into a secluded area.

“Everyone else is happy to receive a reward, but you’re different.” Rong Zhan observed Gu Qingxue’s expression. “His Majesty has given you a luxurious mansion in Yongan Street and even rewarded you with ten thousand taels of gold. Aren’t you happy?”

Gu Qingxue lowered her eyes and said calmly, “With His Majesty’s grace, this subject does not dare to be unhappy.”

This was a gift from His Majesty. If she dared to show any unhappiness, she would be beheaded.

She would not seek trouble for no reason, but she knew that even if she did not say it, Rong Zhan could tell that she was not satisfied.

Rong Zhan said indifferently, “It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be an official. Recently, Prince Heng has sent people to keep an eye on your whereabouts. After entering the imperial hospital as an official, with His Majesty’s protection, he doesn’t dare to be too presumptuous for the time being.”

Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Qingxue did not hold back her words. “Your Royal Highness, the reason why Prince Heng hates me so much should be related to Your Royal Highness, right? Moreover, my love for money is far less than my yearning for freedom. My father died in the palace that year. Because of this, my grandmother had no choice but to raise the entire Gu family up. If I didn’t have to, I wouldn’t want to be an official in the palace.”

Gu Qingxue’s heart ached at the thought of Madam Qi.

Ever since her father passed away, her grandmother had slowly become muddle-headed.

However, she had heard from Nanny Sheng that when Gu Chengbin insisted on becoming a doctor in the palace, her grandmother had a fight and slapped him hard in the face.

And at that time, what her grandmother called out was her father’s name.

From this, one could see how much grandmother was against them entering the palace to become imperial physicians.

“Since things have come to this, there’s no other way. All you can do is do your best to survive in this palace,” Rong Zhan said.

When Gu Qingxue heard this, she realized that Rong Zhan seemed to be particularly concerned about her feelings today. He comforted her several times, and Gu Qingxue felt a little uncomfortable.

Only then did she realize that Rong Zhan had deliberately mentioned this matter as if to comfort her.

“Your Royal Highness, are you concerned about me?” Gu Qingxue could not help but ask Rong Zhan curiously.

Rong Zhan’s expression changed as he stared at Gu Qingxue.

Rong Zhan seemed to be able to guess what Gu Qingxue was thinking from her expression.

Was he not obvious enough?

Gu Qingxue observed Rong Zhan’s expression. She could not see any emotion in his overly deep eyes.

However, her heart was beating faster and faster.

She did not know why, but when she realized that Rong Zhan was actually concerned about his life, she suddenly felt happy.

In fact, she was looking forward to Rong Zhan’s answer.

However, before Rong Zhan could say anything, a figure walked towards them.

“This old servant greets Your Royal Highness and Doctor Gu.” Nanny Bi Zhu stood in front of the two and bowed deeply.

“But what decree does the empress dowager have?” Rong Zhan saw Gu Qingxue’s curious expression and explained, “This is the empress dowager’s nanny, Bi Zhu.”
