Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-74

Gu Xijiu smiled, spun the bracelet on her fingertip and asked, "Oh ya! Why are you not shining? Are you broken? Or is your color fading because you fell into the water?"

The bracelet was speechless.

It answered in an annoyed tone, "Hey girl, I thought you wanted me to be low profile? What do you mean by broken? You think I'm a fake jade in your century?"

Gu Xijiu spun it again and said, "At least now I know how you look like when you are keeping a low profile. I thought you can do magic and change yourself into something else."

The bracelet drew the sign of ‘...’ in her mind.

Gu Xijiu did not bother it anymore and then kept it into her sleeve.

"Young hero, you’ve got what you wanted… And what about our Prince’s illness?", the Black Fox voiced up.

Gu Xijiu looked at Rong Jialuo and said, "Tough!"

Black Fox remained silent with his fists clenched tightly and said, "You have no clue about this? Then you must have been fooling around with the Crown Prince!"

Gu Xijiu interrupted him and said, "I meant it’s tough, but I didn’t say I have no solution. Your illness has troubled you for quite some time and I’m guessing it should be almost two years, hence, it might take a longer treatment."

"Does this mean that you can help the Prince?" Black Fox asked as he was delighted to hear what she just said.

Gu Xijiu moved her gaze to Rong Jialuo and said, "Your Highness, are you going to let him ask questions on your behalf?"

Rong Jialuo took a deep breath and held his excitement, "Get out, Black Fox."

"Your Highness…" Black Fox was still worried as Gu Xijiu was somehow a mysterious stranger. He was worried that this stranger would hurt the Crown Prince...

"I’m fine, just go." Rong Jialuo replied.

Finally, Black Fox agreed and left the room. He even closed the door behind him.

There was finally hope for the illness which left him almost hopeless in life. He used to be quiet and hardly put any emotion on his face. Now, with his fingers were shaking, he said, "Sir, how do you want to start the treatment? Do you need me to prepare anything? Let me know what you need and I’ll get everything prepared…" He changed the way he addressed Rong Jialuo.

Gu Xijiu looked at him from head to the toe and suddenly rushed towards him.

She was initially a meter away from him, but now she was not even half a meter in front of him.

Rong Jialuo was always careful with everyone. No one had been so close to him before, except his closest buddies. Hence, he subconsciously stepped back.

Gu Xijiu suddenly locked his arms and said, "Don’t move!"

Rong Jialuo was a crown prince who was cold. Other people were afraid of him and would have knelt earlier.

As he was strong and tall, Gu Xijiu looked small beside him.

However, she was standing in front of him with her hands locked together with his arms. She neglected his dignity.

The Prince realized her eyes were so black and shiny like the stars. When she stared at someone, that person felt as if he was being absorbed by her pupils.

Rong Jialuo’s heart was beating fast. "You…" That was the first time he exposed his weakness in front of a stranger.
