Gu Chaoyan threw a look at Lord Yan’s Mansion, then she nodded.
She did not think that there was any point for her to remain here since she was already done with what she needed to do. Huaijin should be able to deal with the rest, and that was enough.
Gu Chaoyan headed towards Lord Yan’s Mansion with Sword One.
After a while, Gu Chaoyan sensed that something was following her. She turned around and looked carefully, seeing that Li Qing kept a distance from her.
Li Qing would not have stalked her like this if he didn’t have something he would like to say. It seemed that he had some message for her.
Gu Chaoyan asked Sword One with a small voice to tell the coachman to slow down a little.
Then they went onto the wagon and left.
It was not until they came to an alleyway, that Gu Chaoyan called it a stop.
Li Qing’s wagon soon caught up with them. Gu Chaoyan came out, took a step forward so that Li Qing could still keep a short distance between themselves.
“What do you want to say?” Gu Chaoyan asked.
“Last night when we went there, the child could have been born punctually if not for the imperial doctor. Although the child was drugged, he could have been saved. However, Lord Yan accepted his men’s suggestion and drove us all out, so the imperial doctor could go in and help the Princess Consort deliver the baby. What a pity!”
“…”
“I could not tell you about it when we were at Lord Yan’s place, but I am telling you now for your reference. If that is nothing important, you will just forget about it.” Li Qing said.
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She had already noticed everything that Li Qing had told her.
However, Li Qing was in danger since he told her about this.
Gu Chaoyan turned around straightforwardly and said to Li Qing. “Leave the capital, now!”
Li Qing looked confused. He had no idea what was going on, until he noticed the serious look on Gu Chaoyan’s face. Only then did Li Qing realize what she meant. He felt sweat breaking out all over his body, and he shivered slightly.
He was not afraid of being killed. He was just very scared by how everything happened.
He had thought that it was just a simple thing, but what he did not know was that he was already involved with the affairs in the imperial court, and he had even witnessed the conspiracy of the imperial family. If not for Lady Chaoyan’s reminder, he might have run into something unexpected.
He felt very lucky that he reminded Lady Chaoyan about this. If the situation was not that complicated, he might not have been able to think of reminding her about this.
Li Qing wiped the sweat on his forehead, as he shivered. “I got it, thanks Lady Chaoyan!”
“If you have nowhere to go, just go to Bingzhou and find someone called Xiao Jin. He will help you. If you do, follow your own heart and leave,” Gu Chaoyan said.
Li Qing nodded and hurried away.
Gu Chaoyan told Sword One to return to Xinlin Mansion.
The wagon headed towards Xinlin Mansion slowly as people were gradually emerging on the street.
***
Back at Xinlin Mansion.
Xiu Jie was very surprised. “You are back! Elder Miss it is good that our honored guest is still here, otherwise you would have missed it.”
Honored guest?
