Chapter 2607: Stewing Nourishing Food

Prince, why doesn’t it concern you? Miss Gu said it was you who handled it, the steward roared continuously in his heart.

However, on the surface, the steward didn’t dare to be so presumptuous towards the Prince, and carefully lowered his head and said, "Prince, Miss Gu said it was yours."

"What nonsense, what of mine?" Long Rui indicated he had never been a father and did not understand what was meant.

Beside him, Long Yi heard clearly and said loudly, "Prince, Miss Gu’s implication is that the child in her belly is yours."

Long Rui realized and couldn’t help but curse and order: "Nonsense, stop talking rubbish! If the Princess Consort finds out, she might really think there’s something between me and her!"

Prince, too late, the Princess Consort already believes there is something between you and Miss Gu.

The steward wanted to say something but stopped: "Prince..., um...."

Long Rui impatiently said, "Steward, when did you become so fussy? I remember you used to be straightforward. Have you handled too many trivial matters in the Prince’s Mansion and turned into a woman?"

The steward felt terrible inside, Prince, it’s not that your servant is too fussy, it’s this matter that is so tricky, your servant doesn’t know how to tell you?

It’s all the fault of that damned Gu Lingqiao, why get pregnant for nothing?

The steward decided to spill the truth since the Prince would know sooner or later, so he said, "Prince, the Princess Consort already knows!"

Long Rui: "What?"

The steward broke out in a cold sweat, speaking quieter and quieter: "The Princess Consort already knows the child in Miss Gu’s belly is yours, Prince."

"What?" Long Rui couldn’t help a loud, thunderous roar that made everyone’s ears ring: "Which bastard spread such nonsense?"

The steward shrunk, saying: "It’s... it’s Miss Gu."

Long Rui: "What does she... want to do?"

The steward lowered his head, not daring to make a sound, everyone in the Prince’s Mansion knew what Gu Lingqiao wanted, she wanted to replace the Princess Consort. Otherwise, why keep clinging to the Prince, calling him Brother Rui incessantly? Even a fool could see her intention, only the Prince didn’t know.

The more Long Rui thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he asked the steward, "Was the Princess Consort angry about this matter, which is why she returned to the General’s Mansion?"

The steward nodded: "Yes, Prince, the Princess Consort was very angry!"

"Where is Gu Lingqiao?" The furious Long Rui called out her full name directly.

"The Princess Consort said she went mad and asked your servant to lock her up."

"Where is she?"

"The dungeon."

"Let’s go, I’ll question this woman, what deep-seated hatred does she have with me? Why is she harming me like this?"

Long Rui went to the dungeon angrily to confront Gu Lingqiao, everyone thought this time Gu Lingqiao was certainly doomed, having angered the Prince, would the Prince let her go?

Long Rui went into the dungeon alone, while everyone else guarded the entrance.

After about Half a Cup of Tea’s time, an unexpected scene appeared, the Prince carefully helped Gu Lingqiao out, in a manner as if he was indeed a father.

The steward and Long Yi were dumbfounded, what was the Prince doing?

Wasn’t it said that the child in this woman’s belly wasn’t his? Why was he still so careful and protective?

Long Yi stepped forward and called softly, "Prince?"

"Go, go, clear off, don’t harm Lingling, she’s pregnant." Long Rui impatiently pushed Long Yi away.

Long Yi: "This...!"

Long Rui carefully supported Gu Lingqiao for a few steps, suddenly, looked up and glared at the steward and scolded: "Why are you standing stupidly? Quickly instruct the kitchen to make some tonic for Lingling."
