The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Hongping led Fang Qingyou to the reception hall of the She residence.

Before Fang Qingyou even stepped inside, she immediately spotted Gu Jinyi sitting upright like a bamboo.

Seeing him in his flowing white robes, like a banished immortal from a turbid world, inexplicably lightened my mood.

As Fang Qingyou entered the reception room, Gu Jinyi noticed her arrival. When he looked up, he indeed saw that slender figure, and his gentle gaze softened instantly.

"Miss Fang."

"Mr. Gu."

As soon as Fang Qingyou sat down next to Gu Jinyi, he smiled and handed her a cup of tea at the perfect temperature: "You must be exhausted, have a cup of tea."

"Mmm." Fang Qingyou took the teacup, and the fragrant aroma of the tea instantly calmed her heart.

One sip, and the early autumn heat was completely dispelled.

At this moment, Gu Jinyi poured Fang Qingyou another cup of tea.

Fang Qingyou smiled, her eyes crinkling, and finished her tea.

Seeing this, Hongping silently lowered her eyes.

Gu Jinyi and Fang Qingyou got along so naturally and were so in sync that it made her, as a maid, feel like she had no chance to use her skills.

After resting for a while, Fang Qingyou mentioned Madam She's condition to Gu Jinyi, only telling him that Madam She had suddenly fallen ill, but was now safe and sound.

Fang Qingyou was about to say that she would stay at the She residence for a while longer and that Gu Jinyi could go back first if he had something to do, but before she could speak, she heard a voice with a hint of sarcasm from outside the reception hall: "Miss Fang, are you here to be a doctor or to have a heart-to-heart talk?"

Fang Qingyou's expression stiffened slightly, because she recognized the person as Luo Qianmo.

But what is Luo Qianmo doing at the She residence?

From that day on, Fang Qingyou really didn't want to see this unpredictable Eighth Prince at all.

Just then, an arrogant figure in dark ink came into view.

Luo Qianmo was dressed in a dark brocade robe with dark patterns and a dark jade belt. His face was cold and his eyes were icy and piercing. He exuded an air of contempt, superiority and arrogance.

"Eighth Prince." Fang Qingyou and Gu Jinyi stood up at the same time, one curtsied to Luo Qianmo and the other bowed to Luo Qianmo.

The privilege of not having to kneel before any member of the royal family in the world is the privilege of the number one young master in the land.

"Greetings, Eighth Prince." Hongping immediately knelt and bowed to Luo Qianmo.

Luo Qianmo glanced at Gu Jinyi sideways: "I wondered who Miss Fang was chatting and laughing with like this, but it turns out to be the number one young master in the world!"

The title of "Number One Young Master Under Heaven," which is usually respected by everyone, seemed to carry a great deal of disdain when spoken by Luo Qianmo.

Fang Qingyou frowned. Why would Luo Qianmo, who seemed perfectly fine, harbor such hostility towards Gu Jinyi?

Moreover, as the eighth prince, shouldn't every word he says to her, a mere commoner, be laced with sarcasm?

Who she talks to has nothing to do with him.

Four words suddenly came to mind: "The visitor is not friendly."

"I dare not accept such praise." Gu Jinyi smiled gently, seemingly unaware of Luo Qianmo's disdain.

“Young Master Gu…” Fang Qingyou wanted Gu Jinyi to leave the She residence so that Luo Qianmo wouldn’t make things difficult for him.

Before she could finish speaking, a maid rushed into the reception hall, excitedly announcing, "Miss Fang, my mistress has woken up!"

This maidservant works in Madam She's courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyou's face instantly lit up with a smile, and she quickly asked, "How does Madam She look?"

Just as the maid was about to answer Fang Qingyou, she suddenly noticed the arrogant figure in black, her face turned pale, and she immediately knelt down to pay her respects: "Greetings, Eighth Prince."

"Get up." The cold, emotionless voice fell, and the maid stood up, but dared not answer Fang Qingyou's question any further.

Hongping remained kneeling there the entire time, as if she would kneel until the very end if Luo Qianmo didn't let her get up.

Seeing this, Fang Qingyou was speechless. Was Luo Qianmo really that scary?

Okay, Luo Qianmo is really scary, so scary that she doesn't want to see him at all.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the reception room became somewhat oppressive, as if the air had suddenly frozen.

Until Luo Qianmo suddenly asked, "How is Madam She?"

Luo Qianmo's gaze was clearly not on the maid, but the maid felt as if she was so nervous that she couldn't move.

The maidservant hurriedly and cautiously replied, "Your Highness, my lady says she feels much better and should be fine."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyou breathed a slight sigh of relief and asked, "Has Doctor Yang already seen Madam She?"

The maid glanced at Luo Qianmo discreetly, and seeing that he did not show any displeasure, she whispered, "I have examined her. Doctor Yang said that Madam is out of danger."

"That's good." Fang Qingyou was finally relieved, and then looked at Gu Jinyi: "Young Master Gu, now that Madam She is feeling better, I'm about to leave. Would you mind coming with me?"

Fang Qingyou originally planned to tell She Ruifeng and She Yuyan before leaving, but with Luo Qianmo, this formidable figure, around, she really didn't want to stay any longer.

She should leave today and apologize to them another day.

Gu Jinyi smiled gently: "Since Madam She is well, I won't bother you any longer. Let's go together, Miss Fang."

Fang Qingyou nodded slightly; that was exactly what she meant. If they stayed any longer, who knew what trouble Luo Qianmo would cause?

Fang Qingyou still felt lingering fear when she witnessed Luo Qianmo and Yi Lingyun fighting in the palace.

With that, Gu Jinyi turned to the maid and said, "Miss, please tell General She and Madam She that I will be leaving now and will visit again another day."

Seeing the number one young master in the world smile at her, the maid felt so happy she was almost dizzy. Her eyes shone brightly as she nodded repeatedly.

Watching Fang Qingyou and Gu Jinyi's back-and-forth, treating him as if he were invisible, Luo Qianmo's gaze darkened, a flicker of dark anger rising within him.

At this moment, Gu Jinyi bid farewell to Luo Qianmo again: "Eighth Prince, I'll take my leave now, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Eighth Prince." Fang Qingyou then curtsied to Luo Qianmo, bid him farewell, and immediately turned to leave, not wanting to say another word to him.

Throughout the process, Luo Qianmo remained silent, it was unclear whether he acquiesced or was brewing anger.

Fang Qingyou, anyway, preferred to take his silence as acquiescence.

Gu Jinyi left alongside Fang Qingyou, but before they had taken more than a few steps, they heard Luo Qianmo's indifferent and cold voice ring out behind them again: "Miss Fang, since you are leaving, why don't you come with me?"
