The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1644 - 1731: Identical
"Do you know, during the days you were missing, the Official Husband did not spare any effort for you. That Bai Xian, Young Master Bai, spent his days lost in thought over meals, yet who knows if it was genuine or just an act? On the contrary, the Official Husband was both mentally and physically exhausted for your sake. Moreover, that matter...do you still remember?"
The Close Servant lowered his voice and said, "The Official Husband, looks exactly like Young Master Bai!"
The Eighth Princess was stunned upon hearing this, "Exactly the same?" Exactly the same...
Suddenly, the Eighth Princess recalled something. Was it not exactly the same? Back then, Qinghe wavered between herself and Dong Baowei, and even after Qinghe entered the palace, she was unsettled, so she placed the Mind-Bewitching Gu on Qinghe. Once afflicted by this Gu, Qinghe would belong to her in life and soul!
She was truly blinded by anger, falling into such a scheme! How heartbroken Qinghe must have been when unfairly doubted by her?
The Eighth Princess suddenly realized the truth and lost her composure. Hastily, she got up and rushed to Qinghe’s courtyard. She intended to see Qinghe but was stopped by Ah Lian at the door: "Your Highness...the Official Husband, the Official Husband doesn’t want to see you..." As instructed by Qinghe, Ah Lian adopted a cautious demeanor.
The Eighth Princess felt a pang in her heart: "It was my mistake, I know I was wrong!" She did not force her way in; her gaze went past Ah Lian, looking at the door behind her. "Qinghe, come out. I wish to see you! I understand now, it was my fault!!"
But only a sorrowful silence responded to her.
The Eighth Princess lingered there for a long time, but still, Qinghe did not appear. In the end, she could only return home, filled with guilt and regret.
After the Eighth Princess left, Ah Lian asked, "Young Master, why didn’t you see her?"
Qinghe shot a nonchalant glance, "See her? Why should I?" He said leisurely, "This works as well; I never wanted to play games with her, and now I can use this situation as a reason to avoid her pestering me in the future."
Ah Lian feigned sudden understanding. Young Master was truly brilliant; this situation allowed both offensive and defensive strategies. If the plan changes, he only needs to beckon, and the Eighth Princess would come running. If the plan proceeds smoothly, it naturally saves trouble without having to deal with a woman he does not like.
The Young Master is indeed exceedingly wise!
Qinghe continued to inquire, "Have you found out the details?"
Ah Lian immediately replied solemnly, "Our informant placed at the Eighth Princess’s side has discovered that ever since the Eighth Princess returned, she has been trying to uncover the whereabouts of those People in Black. Recently, a cohort of the People in Black suddenly appeared. The Eighth Princess had them severely interrogated, and one of them confessed, claiming that you orchestrated it. The Eighth Princess initially did not believe it but followed the clues and gradually traced it back to you. Numerous pieces of evidence now point to you, suggesting that someone in the shadows harbored ill intent on you, hoping to use the Eighth Princess as a weapon against you!"
Qinghe’s eyes turned stern, "Follow me!"
Ah Lian saw that Qinghe had already stepped out of the threshold, thinking to herself perhaps the Young Master had already figured out who was targeting him?
As the evening twilight set in, Bai Xian was simmering a pot of chicken soup. Since the Eighth Princess’s return, he would loiter around her, showing eagerness to please her, regardless of the circumstances. Of course, generally, the Eighth Princess rarely paid him any attention, while he continued to act out his selfless devotion.
When Qinghe arrived, it was just as the chicken soup was done. Bai Xian had just ladled the chicken soup when he heard footsteps approaching from behind.
