Chapter 159 Gu Yuanming Falls for the Trap

"Dr. Gu, please sit down," Gu Yuanming said calmly, glancing uncomfortably at Gu Qingyue.

"Thank you, General Xie," Gu Qingyue said, suppressing a laugh. She picked up her medicine box and knelt down in front of the low table opposite the two of them, ready to openly accept their public display of affection.

"Doctor Gu is indeed very dedicated. From yesterday morning to this afternoon, we haven't seen him at all. He must be very tired," Princess Qing'an said with a smile as soon as she sat down, trying to put a bad word about herself in front of Gu Yuanming.

"Oh, it's because I thought of a medicinal dish for the princess, and I just went to the mountains to pick some herbs," Gu Qingyue made up, that's how capricious she was.

"Dr. Gu is always very responsible," Gu Yuanming said in a low voice, shifting slightly to the side.

"The general is right, Doctor Gu is certainly a good doctor," Princess Qing'an said, feeling embarrassed as she saw Gu Yuanming moving away from her. She returned to her seat with her wine cup in her hand.

She took advantage of the toasting opportunity to get close to Gu Yuanming, hoping to find a chance to be intimate with him, but of course, she had other motives.

To my surprise, just as I sat down, that damned young doctor walked in. How did he get here so fast!

"Doctor Gu, how is the princess's health?"

Gu Yuanming put down his wine cup, not even glancing at Princess Qing'an, and asked Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue sat up straight, thought for a moment, and said, "Princess, your stomach and spleen are not in harmony, and you are also worrying too much. As long as you adjust your mood, you will be fine."

Gu Yuanming nodded, "Alright, then treat the princess as soon as possible and make sure she recovers."

Gu Qingyue nodded, picked up the wine glass, and played with it in her hand.

As four or five maids carrying trays walked gracefully into the central hall, a gentle fragrance wafted in with them.

Gu Qingyue frowned slightly.

It wasn't until a maid accidentally tilted her soup bowl, splashing soup onto Gu Yuanming's robes, and the maid immediately knelt on the ground begging for forgiveness, that Gu Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

finally come!

She thought Princess Qing'an would be able to hold back and not cause any trouble, but it seems there's going to be a good show. She doesn't believe that little maid would be so careless.

Gu Qingyue remained seated, while from the main seat came the angry voice of Princess Qing'an: "You audacious, lowly servant, drag her away!"

Two old women immediately stepped forward and dragged the little maid who kept begging for mercy away.

The hall fell silent; Gu Yuanming hadn't said a word from beginning to end.

He only frowned and glanced at the hem of his robe, toying with the wine cup in his hand.

"I apologize to General Gu for my poor discipline," Princess Qing'an said apologetically to Gu Yuanming. "Come, take General Gu to change his clothes."

As he spoke, he gestured for Granny Qi to take Gu Yuanming to change his clothes.

Gu Yuanming frowned even more deeply and cupped his hands, saying, "I have important matters to attend to. These trivial matters are no problem. Since the princess is not in need, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you."

With that, Gu Yuanming stood up and prepared to leave.

"Halt!" A sharp shout came from the head of the table.

Princess Qing'an hurriedly stood up when she saw Gu Yuanming about to leave.

Turning her head, she saw Granny Wu winking at her, and quickly changed her tone: "General, wait a minute, your robes are all dirty. If you go out like this, people will say that I, the princess, have not been hospitable enough."

As she spoke, she stood in front of Gu Yuanming, gazing at him with tender affection.

Gu Qingyue calmly observed the two people in front of her.

The man was tall and imposing, while the woman was petite and slender; they were quite a perfect match!

"Princess, please don't be so polite. I have urgent business in my camp. You sent a letter earlier saying you had something important to tell me, but since you don't, I'll take my leave now."

Gu Yuanming did not want to continue looking at Princess Qing'an's pleading and seductive expression, so he insisted on taking his leave, his eyes revealing naked indifference and impatience.

"General, are you determined to offend this princess?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Qing'an's expression changed instantly, and she was on the verge of exploding in anger.

Gu Qingyue watched with great interest.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanming clenched and unclenched his fist beneath his wide sleeves.

At this juncture of seeking peace with Nanzhao, and with the princess in front of him possibly being sent as a bride, he doesn't want anything to go wrong with her that could affect future negotiations with Nanzhao.

Although the imperial decree for the marriage alliance has not yet been finalized, it will be soon. He needs to find a way to get rid of this woman and send her back to the capital as soon as possible.

Gu Yuanming's thoughts raced, and he sighed, "In that case, I will go change my clothes. Thank you for your kindness, Princess."

Ha! This is going to be interesting!

Gu Qingyue laughed like a mouse. She loved plot twists like swapping clothes to frame someone, drugging someone, and having sex with them. That's how they write it in novels.

That's how your imagination grows bigger and bigger, hehehe------

As Granny Qi led Gu Yuanming out of the main hall and towards the side rooms, Gu Qingyue's smile grew wider and wider.

"Princess, since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," Gu Qingyue finally stood up. Although she hadn't eaten much, watching the show was more important!

Upon hearing this, Princess Qing'an nodded indifferently, "Thank you for your trouble, Doctor Gu. Go and rest now."

Gu Qingyue walked out of the main courtyard and went to a secluded corner, where she immediately slipped and leaned against the wall.

It instantly releases mental energy.

Gu Qingyue is going to get a sty!

She saw that Gu Yuanming had taken off his outer robe and was only wearing his inner garment. Upon closer inspection, she realized that this guy exuded an aura of asceticism. He was tall, strong, and slender without being overly bulky or rude. He was truly a top-notch man, haha!

Suddenly, she thought of a certain cunning guy with a stunning figure who constantly teased her, and her face flushed red.

Watching the man methodically put on his new robes, no one came in, and no one suddenly knocked on the door. Huh, Princess Qing'an didn't make a move?

This doesn't make sense! Otherwise, why would she have reacted so strongly when Gu Yuanming was about to leave?

Watching Gu Yuanming put on his robes and open the door, Qi Mama was respectfully waiting outside. Nothing had really happened.

Watching Gu Yuanming and Granny Qi go to the central hall to say goodbye to Princess Qing'an, and Princess Qing'an did not try to stop them, Gu Qingyue had a feeling that something was wrong.

Something very strange is going on!!

As the two walked towards the outside of the main courtyard, Gu Qingyue hid herself even further into the shadows.

Suddenly, Gu Qingyue saw Gu Yuanming stop and sway, as if he was a little dizzy.

"Is General Gu alright?" Granny Qi asked quickly upon seeing the situation.

"It's alright, let's go," Gu Yuanming steadied himself and continued walking forward.

Granny Qi walked obediently behind him, neither trying to dissuade him nor asking any further questions.

A glint of light flashed in her eyes as she lowered her head, but it quickly returned to its calm, as if nothing had happened.

Gu Qingyue only slowly walked out after the two of them had passed by her.

"General, are you tired?"

Before he could finish half a cup of tea, Gu Yuanming was so dizzy that he could no longer stand. His body began to feel hot and he staggered as he walked. He knew he had been infected and almost ground his teeth to powder.

Seeing this, Granny Qi immediately helped him sit on a bench next to the veranda.

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow not far away. Was the show about to begin?

She followed Gu Yuanming and Granny Qi from a distance, and saw Granny Qi help Gu Yuanming into an exquisite courtyard not far from the main courtyard.

After helping him into a room, Granny Qi closed the door and left.

Gu Qingyue thought for a moment, then tiptoed onto the roof.
