Rong Zhan stepped forward and put his arm around Gu Qingxue's shoulders. He pulled her into his arms and gently advised, "I know you can't bear it, but since things have come to this, we can only think of a way to cure the poison in the two elders."
Gu Qingxue nodded worriedly, but she immediately sensed that something was wrong. She turned to look at the man behind her and saw that he had placed his palm on her shoulder naturally, as if it was only natural.
Only then did Gu Qingxue realize that something was wrong. She frowned and asked, "Your Royal Highness, why are you doing this?"
Rong Zhan only let go of her shoulders when he saw Gu Qingxue frowning. He said matter-of-factly, "I saw that you were in low spirits, so I specially consoled you."
Gu Qingxue was confused and looked at Rong Zhan as if she had seen a ghost. She said slowly, "Many thanks, Your Royal Highness, but there's no need."
