1681 Qing’s Weird Reaction 2

“Qing was distant from me just now. Maybe she believes that I am her Miss after all, but when you talked with her like that, you were not interrogating her.”

“…”

“Has there been anything strange about Qing these days?” Gu Chaoyan asked Xiu Jie.

Xiu Jie nodded without hesitation, and told Gu Chaoyan about how Qing behaved these days.

Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh of relief.

!!

She just felt that it was a pity.

Xiu Jie was a very down-to-earth man, whilst Qing was a gentle and kind girl. Xiu Jie treated Qing very well, and she was thinking about setting them up after everything was settled, but Qing was distracted, and she wondered if she was going to miss Xiu Jie.

She really did not want Qing to walk the wrong way.

“Sword One, let Sword Two follow Qing these days and see where she will be going,” Gu Chaoyan said.

“Okay, Elder Miss,” Sword One said, sounding serious.

Then… Sword One asked further.

“Elder Miss, what do you plan to do next?”

“If she really likes him, I will respect her and ask him what he thinks about Qing. If he can give Qing a good future, then we can follow Qing’s intention. If his answer isn’t satisfying, I will keep Qing. If that is not what she is thinking, we will see what happens. I am going to safeguard Qing no matter what,” Gu Chaoyan said with resolution.

Sword One felt assured.

Xiu Jie had no idea what they were referring to, but he more or less understood what Elder Miss meant. So he was assured as well.

Gu Chaoyan did want to tell Xiu Jie the truth, but it was not yet the right time, since the truth was not yet found out.

She told Xiu Jie a few more things, before returning to her own room.

Qing’s behavior made her feel quite worried about her staying at Xinlin Clinic alone.

The following day…

In the court.

The King’s eyes were bloodshot, and he had a terrible look on his face as if he had not slept for the whole night. However, he had not been to the morning session, as he was waiting for the guards to bring news.

Seeing the guard arrive, he asked nervously, “Where is he?”

The guard answered anxiously, “No…”

He was so frightened.

The King was ill-tempered and he ordered the death sentence casually, without any judgment on whether or not the order was right. The people who came to Qianqing Palace felt that they were lingering at the edge of death.

Especially when the news was bad.

However, the King did not get anxious after hearing the answer. He quieted down.

There was only one thing for sure now that the man was at large – he ran away by himself, with a premade plan, or he was rescued by someone.

Who would have rescued him?

Prime Minister Chu and General Liu were definitely not the right choices.

The Jiang Family’s old soldiers might have done that.

Seeing Lord Huai grounded, they could not stand it any more and came to rescue him.

The Jiang Family claimed to be full of justice and ethics, but in fact, they were doing things behind his back.

He was going to use some methods to get that man out.

He was going to use the Jiang Family to lure him out.

Would he use old soldiers of the Jiang Family?

“Go and bring Madame Jiang here, as well as the people on the list.” The King tossed a booklet to the guard.
