C13 Your Highness Told You to Pick up the Phone
"Ruotong, what are you doing? Hurry up and come over here to express your thanks to your majesty! " The old lady glared at Bai Ruotong and scolded him.
Bai Ruotong's shoulders shook as she came back to her senses. She walked over to the old woman, her steps trembling slightly, and knelt down.
"Get up."
Although Gu Yanqing said this to the crowd, he only extended his hand to help Bai Ruotong up. Naturally, this action of his did not escape the old lady's eyes. The old lady frowned with a dark expression.
After everyone got up, the old lady respectfully said, "Your Highness, today's hour is late. This old woman will not keep Your Highness here for tea. I will engrave your kindness in my heart."
"There is no need for the madame to be so courteous. Since the lady has been delivered, This King is relieved." After Gu Yan Qing said this, she lowered her eyes and tore off a piece of jade from her waist and handed it over to Bai Ruotong. "Take it."
Bai Ruotong was stunned, she didn't understand Gu Yanqing's intention.
"Since Your Highness wants you to keep it, you should do so." The old lady reminded Bai Ruotong coldly when she saw him standing there. She had clearly seen Gu Yan Qing's concern for Bai Ruotong. She thought that Bai Ruotong had only met Gu Yan Qing by chance, but now it seemed that the two of them were very familiar with each other.
Seeing this, Bai Ruotong had no choice but to accept the jade. However, she was very puzzled. She was sure that in the novel, Bai Ruotong and Gu Yanqing didn't know each other. She had only seen them occasionally during the Imperial Feast.
After Bai Ruotong's death, Gu Yanqing had never mentioned Bai Ruotong and had peacefully accepted the new wangfei that His Majesty had chosen for him.
Why was Gu Yanqing treating him so well after she had transmigrated?
What the hell was this villain doing in the boss' gourd?
"Imperial Physician Yu has treated Miss Bai. Miss Bai's body is very weak. We must have Miss Bai recuperate in the residence for the next two days and not disturb her." Gu Yanqing's words were more of an order than an explanation. He raised his hand and Zhao Cheng, who was at the side, handed a prescription to Zhao Zhong.
"Yes, many thanks your majesty."
The old lady nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Gu Yanqing did not say anything else. He turned around and left.
Only when the carriage from the Prince Rong's estate had disappeared into the night did the people from the general's estate let out a sigh of relief, relaxing their worries.
"Go rest. Come to the Yongning Courtyard tomorrow to pay your respects." The old lady gave Bai Ruotong a cold glance as she explained.
"Yes." Bai Ruotong nodded and followed everyone into the mansion.
That night, the servants were busy for a long time before Bai Ruotong was put to bed. After the servants left, Bai Ruotong turned around and got up from the bed.
Her head was still hurting. After a night of suffering, her physical strength had been completely used up. Although her clothes had been roasted by the fire, her body was still extremely cold.
She coughed twice, then got up from the bed and went to the corner table to pour herself a glass of water. She had just called her servant to warm the water for her. Bai Ruotong took a sip, but spit it out completely.
This water... Something was wrong.
She put the rim of the glass to her nose and sniffed at it, frowning. The water carried with it the smell of earth and a rancid smell. It was unknown which abandoned well the stagnant water from which it was fished out of.
She was clearly the eldest daughter, yet she was being bullied like this. How retarded was the Bai Ruotong in the novel?
"What a sinner …"
Bai Ruotong put down the teacup and went back to bed. He felt a dull pain in his head, as if someone had placed a shot ball inside his head and was knocking it back and forth. She only hoped that the bitter medicine she drank today would have an early effect. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to deal with such a rotten matter the next day.
