Chapter 570: Help (5)

Gao Yang and Luo Tan waited in the main hall for a while. Half an incense stick later, His Royal Highness Prince Rui appeared wearing a mask.

Luo Tan was anxious. If it were the past, the first time she had such close contact with Prince Rui, she would have definitely opened her eyes wide to see clearly what kind of person Prince Rui was. However, the current situation did not allow for any wait. Every moment she waited would increase the danger Shen Miao would face. She glanced at Gao Yang, who was still leisurely drinking tea, and said to Prince Rui, "Your Highness, Prince Rui, please excuse me for a moment."

As Luo Tan waited anxiously, Prince Rui nodded slightly. Luo Tan was secretly delighted, thinking that Prince Rui was not as unapproachable as the rumors said.

After entering a separate world, Luo Tan knelt down without saying a word and said, "Please, Your Highness, Prince Rui, save my little cousin!" She repeated what Shen Miao had taught her and concluded, "Since my little cousin trusts Your Highness, Prince Rui so much, I also believe that Your Highness, Prince Rui, will definitely be able to rescue my little cousin. Although I can't offer anything at the moment, if my little cousin is found, the Shen family will definitely reward Prince Rui. Please, Your Highness, Prince Rui, save my life!"

She kowtowed on the ground.

Luo Tan had a certain pride in her bones, but that was different from some people who would rather die than kneel before an outsider. Luo Tan was a down-to-earth person. In her opinion, Prince Rui was still a member of the royal family of Daliang, so it was not a big deal to kowtow to him. If saying nice things made him happy, and rescuing Shen Miao was the only reason, then what was there to mind? She kowtowed cheerfully, not noticing that the action seemed to startle the man.

"I understand." King Rui said.

Luo Tan felt something was odd, but couldn't put her finger on why. She subconsciously asked, "Has His Royal Highness Prince Rui agreed to rescue my little cousin?"

Prince Rui nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Luo Tan kowtowed to him again with joy and was about to stand up. But as soon as he stood up, he felt a black screen before his eyes and suddenly fell down. He had fainted.

Prince Rui was startled and subconsciously reached out to grab it, calling out, "Help! Gao Yang!"

Gao Yang came in from outside and was also startled at first. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Luo Tan's arm to feel her pulse. After a moment, he put his hand down and sighed, "She's too weak. Make her a bowl of ginseng soup. When she wakes up, I'll take her back to the Shen residence."

Two maids came in and helped the unconscious Luo Tan to lie down on the bed. Gao Yang and Prince Rui walked outside. Prince Rui spitted and suddenly took off the silver mask on his face. He said, "I'm dying of suffocation. Why do you make me pretend to be the third brother?"

This person was not Xie Jingxing, but Ji Yushu.

"We don't know when he will be back. We can't let Luo Tan stay in Prince Rui's mansion until dark. If the Shen family comes looking for us, we won't be able to explain ourselves. Anyway, Xie Sandu has already gone to inquire about Shen Miao's whereabouts. You can just pretend to deal with it and let her leave early." Gao Yang said.

Ji Yushu waved his hand. "I can't stand it if it happens a few more times. This is the first time in my life that someone has knelt down and kowtowed to me. I'm not a Bodhisattva. Will this shorten my life span? This girl is really too fierce. My heart almost jumped out of my chest when she knelt just now. Fortunately, there was no flaw. Otherwise, if Third Brother knew I ruined his image, he would definitely beat me up."

Gao Yang said: "Fortunately she is stupid."

"Are you saying I'm not pretending to be real?" Ji Yushu said angrily, "Everyone I'm pretending to be has kowtowed to me, so how can I not be real?"

Gao Yang waved his hand: "I'm too lazy to talk to you."

"But why does she call you Doctor Gao?" Ji Yushu asked suspiciously, "Are you no longer in the palace and are you now the chief physician?"

Gao Yang: “…”
