Chapter 1930: External Injuries (7)

The Han King’s eyes flickered.

At this moment, Yang Ruxin came out supporting Yunxiong.

"Xiongxiong." Qi Jinghao hurried over to take Yunxiong, carefully helping her sit down, then looked at Yang Ruxin, "How is Xiongxiong?"

"The princess likely suffered from blood deficiency due to a miscarriage..."

Yunxiong lowered her head.

Qi Jinghao sighed: "Indeed, it happened at that exact time, and Xiongxiong’s health collapsed. We were on the way to the fief, and we had been traveling for ten days before discovering she was pregnant. But then we encountered mountain bandits along the way, and Xiongxiong was frightened..."

"It’s not a major issue." Yang Ruxin smiled, "Diet is better than medicine. I’ve prescribed some medicinal dishes. Let’s try them for a few days and then see..."

"Thank you, madam." The Han King showed a delighted expression.

After that, the two didn’t linger much longer and exchanged a few polite words before taking their leave.

Standing at the door, watching the Han King carefully help Yunxiong onto the carriage, Yang Ruxin exhaled deeply.

"Jealous?" Gu Qingheng reached out and held Yang Ruxin’s hand, "Don’t worry, I’ll do better than the Han King."

"Who’s jealous of them?" Yang Ruxin sneered slightly, "You’ve always been better than the Han King."

"Really?" Gu Qingheng immediately showed a big smile.

"At least you don’t have a concubine." Yang Ruxin reached out and tapped Gu Qingheng’s chin.

"Exactly, just based on that, no one can compare." Gu Qingheng nodded vigorously.

"Moreover, don’t you find the feeling between them quite strange?" Yang Ruxin’s gaze fell again on the carriage in the distance.

"Strange?" Gu Qingheng frowned, but seemed not to notice anything particularly wrong.

"I always feel the Han King’s kindness to the princess is overly deliberate." Yang Ruxin sighed, "Can’t say exactly, just it feels uncomfortable all over, and... the princess seems to have external injuries, but since I couldn’t make her undress, there’s no way to confirm..."

"External injuries?"

"Yes." Yang Ruxin nodded.

"Now that you mention it, I also felt something. The princess seems a bit afraid of the Han King." At this moment, Gu Qingheng finally noticed something different, "When she came out, the Han King went to receive her, and her hand seemed to retract slightly."

"Although every family has its dirt, I feel this Han King really isn’t as calm and courteous as he portrays, so..." Yang Ruxin slightly raised an eyebrow.

"Someone is watching."

"Additionally, that Dream Concubine is very strange too." Yang Ruxin exhaled, "Not to mention she sent people to spy on our house. Today at the Empress Dowager’s, the occasional look she gave me made me feel creepy... I think there must be something we haven’t found or have overlooked..."

"Then keep investigating." Gu Qingheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, "If there’s really something, as long as it’s done, there will surely be clues."

In the following two days, Yang Ruxin went nowhere and just stayed at home, due to not fully recovering, and because of the rain. Meanwhile, Gu Di and Du Yunpeng ran tirelessly, almost surveying the entire Beijing, yet found no suitable shop.

Though it wasn’t that there were no suitable places, the key was that despite finding them suitable, the owners wouldn’t sell. It’s not like they could just chase them away, and the places available for purchase were either too small or too remote.
