Poisonous Consort: Prince, Don’t Flirt - Chapter 195

There was nothing strange about the Rui Pavilion entering the pavilion, with Xue Zhu’s help, they would naturally be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort.

Gu Mingyan placed the dregs by his side, and in the end, only continued to boil the soup until it became viscous, and then placed it into the jade box. Yu Hao reminded her to add something, and then he and Xu Chang went to visit the few doctors, wanting them to come to the Academy to be teachers.

She was the only person left in the small infirmary. Only at this moment did she put down the item in her hand. Immediately, she pinched the center of her brows with a worried look on her face.

She had a bad feeling about this.

Before, she did not care about many things and could only obediently listen to Xiao Qiran’s orders, but now that she had interfered with many matters, she had unknowingly revealed all of her trump cards, so it was not her own idea to provoke criticism, but if she did not have these bargaining chips, her daily life would only be miserable.

She was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She felt that the calmness beneath all these things was just a disguise.

Although Leader Xia suspected that she was from the s of the empress, it wasn’t enough to make Xia Ziji use his trump card against a young miss who didn’t care.

If the emperor wanted to rectify the academy and find the Nine Immortal School, he wouldn’t need to bring the two princes here. He would even need to find the National Duke’s Mansion that he had recently obtained to get involved in this matter.

If she thought about it carefully, it was as if something had happened in the Southern Viewing College, and it had something to do with her.

Whether it was a decision she had to make in the dark, or someone controlling the matter behind the scenes, it was all connected to her.

She had a bad premonition, but just as she was about to lose her train of thought, she saw someone approaching from the side of the door.

Tan Jingchen walked over dressed in green, with a gentle and refined appearance, he held a embroidered box in his hands, walked up to welcome them, looked around but did not see Mr. Xu or Mr. Yu, he only smiled at Gu Mingyan and offered the embroidered box to him, “Father ordered me to send you a congratulatory gift, please open the door.”

When the embroidered box was opened, there was only a pair of fine white jade paper.

“I’ll accept it on behalf of the gentlemen. Thank you for your kind intentions, Principal Tan.”

After dispersing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Gu Mingyan just smiled and kept the things, carefully placing them on a wooden shelf at the side. When he turned around, he saw that Tan Jingchen had not left yet.

“What is it, Master Tan?” Gu Mingyan asked.

“I want to talk to someone, is Miss Gu free?”

Tan Jingchen coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment.

Gu Mingyan understood in her heart, when she was the Swallow Sage, she had cured Gu Ziyan’s poison, and at that time, Tan Jingchen had given her a form of thanks. Thinking about it now, she probably wanted to know some things about Gu Ziyan from her, so she nodded and agreed: “Young Noble Tan, please take a seat, I will make some tea.”

Tan Jingchen calmly sat down, but when Gu Mingyan returned, the manuscript on the table had been flipped for reading, even the medical manual from before had been moved slightly.

He stealthily poured some tea for, and immediately heard his question: “The Prime Minister takes care of everything everyday, it has only been a few months since Eldest Miss Gu returned to the Shengan, I wonder if things have gone well for her in the Residence?”

Just who was he here for?

Gu Mingyan raised the corner of his mouth without revealing any emotion, “Of course I’ll take care of you. It’s just that I’ve been separated from father for a long time, so I’m not as intimate as my two younger sisters and father.”

“How could that be? Everyone knows that the prime minister loves his daughters. He has to bring his daughters on a trip every three to four months, and from time to time, he would take his children to live in a side courtyard for a few days. He wants to treat Eldest Miss Gu the same way.”

As Tan Jingchen’s voice fell, his gaze unconsciously swept across Gu Mingyan.

With his chest tightened, Gu Mingyan’s fingertip stopped moving, but in the end, he still put down the cup that his mouth had not touched, and raised his eyebrows. “Is that so?”

There was confusion in his eyes.

“It’s just that in the past, everyone in the Shengan had addressed Zi Yan as Eldest Miss, but now they are calling her Second Miss. This has brought about a lot of gossip, Zi Yan and Zi Xi are not used to this matter, so I assume that Eldest Miss Gu must take good care of these two younger sisters.”

“You’re right, Master Tan.” Gu Mingyan laughed dryly.

“But I’ve heard father say before that Miss Gu has borrowed His Highness’ mouth to say something disrespectful, so she should at least pay attention to her status and not cause trouble for the prime minister and his highness.”

Tan Jingchen placed one of his arms on the table, looked at Gu Mingyan’s puzzled expression, and then continued to speak seriously: “Miss Gu, please focus all of your attention on reading and studying.”

What did that mean?

Even if Gu Mingyan didn’t understand, he still respectfully saw him off.

Once Tan Jingchen had left, he was no longer in the mood to work. He only supported himself with his cheeks, and thought about how Gu Zhiyuan would actually take his children to travel and reunite with him when he was busy with his daily life. She had never gone out for fun with her family in her two lifetimes.

When she grew up, she would also maintain a normal relationship with her family. But now that she heard that Gu Zhiyuan and his family were so harmonious, her heart felt like it was pressed down by a stone, and she was unable to breathe.

Before she could calm her heart, Gu Ziyan had already come over by himself with the same embroidered box. She wasn’t as surprised as Tan Jingchen was when the two masters weren’t here, it was as if he was sure that the two masters weren’t here as he came over to give them a congratulatory gift.

“This is a congratulatory gift that father asked me to send over.”

Gu Ziyan smiled as he opened the embroidered box. He found a thousand year old lingzhi root.

“Thank you very much.”

Gu Mingyan placed the embroidered box on the side of the paperweight, and was slightly startled.

Could it be that Tan Jingchen was blaming her for not treating her two younger sisters well?

In the end, she saw Gu Ziyan already sitting at the spot where Tan Jingchen was sitting before, and she was even more sure of her conjecture — No wonder Tan Jingchen’s words were so overbearing, making her feel unhappy in every way.

“Doesn’t little sister Ziyan need to go back to class?”

“I’ve already told you, it’s fine if you miss a class.”

Gu Ziyan gave a faint smile, and used his fingertip to cover his mouth with a handkerchief. With his other hand, he pushed away the cup that Tan Jingchen had used before, and said with a low voice.

“What has it got to do with me?”

Not only do you wish to expand the academy to the outskirts of the city, but you also hope to expand it. Firstly, it is better for martial arts students to practice martial arts, and secondly, it is more peaceful for the students to study. Furthermore, the suburban courtyards are used by the children of the Humble Class.

Gu Ziyan spoke seriously, but Gu Mingyan thought that Gu Zhiyuan really knew how to conduct himself.

This way, the adults wouldn’t worry about the young masters and young ladies learning with the poor scholars, and on the other hand, it suited the emperor’s intentions. Of course, for those Humble Class Students to be studying in the outskirts of the city, they would naturally feel unsettled if they studied in different places. However, this was not what Gu Zhiyuan needed to consider.

She still did not calculate its weight, and only felt a chill down her spine, following the discomfort she felt and turning her head, meeting Gu Ziyan’s pair of cold eyes.

“Mother only let father take the risk after hearing your words. If father is punished for this, I will tear off your disguise for mother to see.”

“I’ll wait.” Gu Mingyan gave a shallow smile and made a gesture of sending her off: “A small infirmary cannot accommodate a great Buddha like Second Miss Gu.”
