Gu Qingxue nodded and closed the box in her hand again. She said seriously,

“Wait for me here. I’m going to take the box and ask Ah Zhan what’s going on.”

The little butler blinked. “Didn’t you get this from the old prince? Why should you ask His Royal Highness?”

“Because I have a guess in my heart that I need to verify with Ah Zhan. Wait here obediently. I’ll come over and tell you as soon as I have news.” Gu Qingxue hurriedly ended the conversation with the little butler and turned to leave without looking back.

The little butler watched Gu Qingxue leave in a hurry and could not help but feel a little anxious. “Host, what is your guess? You can leave after you say it.

You’re making me very curious!”

Gu Qingxue did not have the time to care about the little butler’s reaction. She quickened her pace and headed towards Rong Zhan’s courtyard as soon as she left.

When Gu Qingxue arrived at Rong Zhan’s residence, she realized that it was already late at night. He had not rested yet, and the room was brightly lit.

Gu Qingxue hurried over in her night clothes and quickly attracted the attention of the hidden guards in the courtyard. They were all on guard. It was only when they realized that the person who had come was Gu Qingxue that they finally stopped attacking.

Liu Yi was guarding the door. When he saw Gu Qingxue rushing while dressed like this, he could not help but be surprised. “Princess Consort, why are you dressed like this?”

Gu Qingxue did not have the heart to explain so much. She waved her hand and looked at Liu Yi. “Is His Royal Highness in the room?”

Liu Yi nodded obediently. “Reporting to the Princess Consort, His Royal Highness is in his room. His Royal Highness is in a good mood today. He hasn’t rested for two hours.

Gu Qingxue nodded. Before she could get Liu Yi to open the door, the door in front of her was opened from the inside. Rong Zhan stood at the door. When he saw Gu Qingxue, he could not help but smile. He reached out and gently touched her face. “Why are you here at this hour? You didn’t even inform in advance. Moreover, why are you dressed like this?”

Seeing the man in front of her, Gu Qingxue’s heart softened uncontrollably. Then, she looked at Rong Zhan seriously and said, “Your Royal Highness, I have something very important to discuss with you.”

Rong Zhan’s heart softened when he saw Gu Qingxue’s serious face. “Don’t be anxious. If you have anything to say, wait until you come in.”

Gu Qingxue nodded and followed Rong Zhan into the room.

After Gu Qingxue entered the room, Rong Zhan turned around and closed the door. He walked towards Gu Qingxue and asked gently, “What happened?

There’s no hurry. Take your time.”

“Ah Zhan, I went to the old prince’s room just now and stole something.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she had already placed the sandalwood box on the table.

Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue in confusion, as if he could not understand what she meant.

Gu Qingxue looked at Rong Zhan and continued to explain calmly, “Ah Zhan, these are not the main points. It’s the things in this box. Look.”

Rong Zhan was puzzled at first, but when Gu Qingxue opened the box and revealed the human skin mask, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning

and was completely stunned on the spot.

Gu Qingxue had been observing Rong Zhan’s expression until she saw him wavering. Her heart sank to the bottom. “From the looks of it, it seems like Your Royal Highness already knew what this mask represented..”
