The secret guard responsible for monitoring Gu Ling's every move day and night had already met Duanmu Yi before Gu Ling entered the palace and reported the second "unusual situation" that had occurred to Gu Ling since the appearance of Yan Shiqi that night.
"What did you say?" After listening, Duanmu Yi simply doubted his own ears.
The secret guard respectfully repeated his report, "Upon receiving the order, Master Gu left the restaurant to ride to the palace, and happened to meet Imperial Physician Su, who had just arrived at the capital and was passing by the restaurant. Their horses nearly collided, and Imperial Physician Su helped Master Gu while publicly praising his extraordinary appearance, seemingly captivated by him."
An image of Su Liang's infatuated expression towards Gu Ling on the street surfaced in Duanmu Yi's mind, and he immediately shook his head, "Impossible! Su Liang is not so superficial!"
The secret guard blurted out, "But that's Gu, the beautiful one..."
