Gao Zhenzhen covered her lips and smiled. "Doctor Wang, you haven't even offered the betrothal gifts, and haven't even asked the prince for his consent, yet you're already so eager to marry Ping'er? This won't do! I can't give you Ping'er's indenture until I'm sure you'll treat her well for the rest of your life. Besides, even if I have to release the indenture, it should be for Ping'er herself."
"The prince has already agreed to this matter. I will take Ping'er back to my hometown to get married. If Miss Gao doesn't believe me, please destroy Ping'er's indenture."
Gao Zhenzhen frowned: "Return to the hometown to get married? Can't we get married in the palace?"
Doctor Wang explained, "It was my late mother's last wish to let me return home and get married. I hope Miss Gao will understand."
Gao Zhenzhen still hopes to use Doctor Wang to help her. If she lets Ping'er go with him, and if something happens to them, won't all her efforts be in vain?
"I know about this matter. I'll get back to you after I ask Ping'er for her opinion."
This time, Doctor Wang was extremely insistent: "Ping'er also agreed." She agreed on his bed.
Gao Zhenzhen understood Ping'er, and she would never agree to get married without her approval.
Therefore, she concluded that Dr. Wang was lying!
"Doctor Wang, there's still a long way to go. There's no need to rush. Ping'er will be here soon. Why not wait for her for a while?"
As soon as Gao Zhenzhen finished speaking, Ping'er was helped over.
"Ping'er, what's wrong?" Gao Zhenzhen asked with concern.
Ping'er had been outside and was unaware of what had happened in the Princess's courtyard. She said truthfully, "Ping'er broke the rules. She forgot she was a third-class maid and had no right to serve the young lady. That's why she was beaten."
Gao Zhenzhen now regarded herself as the Princess of Qin. Her closest maid had actually been beaten, and she only found out about it afterward. How could she not be furious? "Who, who beat you?"
Ping Er felt wronged: "It's the eldest princess."
Gao Zhenzhen thought to herself that it was indeed her, and there was one more thing added to her hatred for the eldest princess.
"Ping'er, I won't let you suffer in vain!"
Doctor Wang took the opportunity to say, "Miss Gao, as long as Ping'er is still a maid, something like today could happen at any time. Please, Miss Gao, grant Ping'er and me a happy marriage and set her free."
Gao Zhenzhen did not answer Doctor Wang, but asked Ping'er: "Ping'er, are you willing to go back to your hometown with Doctor Wang and get married?"
Gao Zhenzhen specifically suggested returning to Doctor Wang's hometown to get married, just to make Ping'er take the initiative to reject Doctor Wang.
Ping'er looked at Doctor Wang and said apologetically, "Doctor Wang, I'm sorry, the young lady is not feeling well. I have to stay by her side to take care of her, so I can't go back with you. If you can agree to get married in the capital, and let me stay with the young lady after the wedding, and we can continue to be the same as we are now, I am willing to marry you!"
That's not what Ping'er said when she was in his bed that day.
Doctor Wang was very disappointed, but he still wanted to fight for it: "Ping'er, I have been alone all these years, without any ties, and now I only have you. If you only come with me, I swear to treat you well for the rest of my life and marry only you."
Ping'er approached Doctor Wang in the beginning just to complete Gao Zhenzhen's task. She used Doctor Wang to do things for Gao Zhenzhen and never gave her true heart to him. Even though she had had physical contact with him, she did not recognize him in her heart.
"I'm sorry, Miss needs me, I can't leave Miss."
Doctor Wang felt bitter. He took out a jade slip, wrote down the address he was going to, and handed it to Ping'er: "Ping'er, I'm leaving. If you change your mind, come find me here. I will wait for you here for a year."
Ping'er confiscated the jade slip and acted very reluctant: "Doctor Wang, can't you really stay? Even for me?"
Doctor Wang shook his head and did not give any explanation.
Ping'er was very disappointed. She accepted the jade slip and did not forget to make a promise: "Doctor Wang, I will come to you when the young lady recovers!"
Doctor Wang left the Qin Palace alone and left the capital. From then on, there was no more Doctor Wang in the Qin Palace.
"Damn man!" Ping'er smashed the jade slip as soon as Doctor Wang left.
How hateful! Doctor Wang had already taken her body, yet he actually left her!
Once he left the Prince of Qin's Palace, he was just a small doctor. What future could he have?
Ping'er sacrificed her innocence for her. Gao Zhenzhen comforted Ping'er: "Don't worry, when I become the Princess of Qin, I will free you from slavery and take you in as my sister. By then, there will be many powerful young men for you to choose from."
Ping'er was pleasantly surprised, and the beatings on her body didn't seem to hurt anymore: "Thank you, Miss."
After letting Ping'er go back to rest, Gao Zhenzhen called Xiaohong over. "Xiaohong, you once said that on the day of the flower viewing banquet, it was the eldest princess who drugged Ling Xiang and put her in the prince's bed?"
Xiaohong wanted to surrender to Gao Zhenzhen, and at the princess's suggestion, she told her some of the things the princess had done.
She nodded seriously: "Yes, not only that, the reason why His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was engaged to Miss Ling was because the eldest princess plotted against them and drugged them to make them together."
Gao Zhenzhen was shocked: "What? The prince and Ling Xiang are already together?"
Xiao Hong nodded. "That day, when the princess went to the Red Maple Courtyard where Miss Ling was staying temporarily, Miss Ling's clothes were torn to shreds."
Gao Zhenzhen couldn't accept it: "Such a big thing, why didn't I hear anything about it?"
Xiaohong thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the prince is worried that you might be upset, so he ordered you to keep silent."
Gao Zhenzhen covered her chest, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Xiao Hong quickly comforted her: "Miss, don't be sad, the prince has already agreed to marry you, Ling Xiang will never marry in, you don't have to worry."
Yes, no matter how things have developed between Ling Xiang and the prince, the prince has said that he wants to break off the engagement with Ling Xiang and marry her!
Gao Zhenzhen felt relieved and forced herself not to think about what happened between Ling Xiang and the prince. After calming down, she continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"
Xiaohong thought about it seriously and said, "No more."
Gao Zhenzhen dismissed Xiaohong and thought about the plan for a long time alone in the room. After making up her mind, she had a good sleep.
When the first ray of morning light shone on her, Gao Zhenzhen woke up, washed and dressed, and went to find Nangong Yu.
This time, she wanted to tell the prince everything the eldest princess had done, to drive a wedge between them and the princess, and to make her feel bad.
Nangong Yu took the recording jade that Doctor Wang had made before he left, watched his conversation with Gao Zhenzhen, and with a light wave of his hand, he turned the recording jade into powder.
After sitting there all night, Nangong Yu still hadn't figured out how to face Gao Zhenzhen, but Gao Zhenzhen came to him on her own.
He opened the door, and the morning sunlight dazzled his eyes. He squinted subconsciously, but Gao Zhenzhen threw herself into his arms: "Prince~~"
Nangong Yu dismissed everyone, gently pushed Gao Zhenzhen away, brought her into the room, and closed the door with a wave of his hand.
Gao Zhenzhen didn't realize the seriousness of the situation yet. She smiled and asked Nangong Yu, "Has the prince had breakfast yet? Do you want to join us?"
