Chapter 1362

Zhao Rong Region Princess did not believe a single word of Gu Qingze's words. She only wanted to find someone who would not collude with Gu Qingze and someone she could trust. Of everyone present, the only person she trusted was her father, Duke Ning.

Duke Ning never would have thought that Zhao Rong would point at him. He first froze and then he was secretly happy. He purposely showed anger on his face and scolded Zhao Rong.

"Nonsense! Zhao Rong, you are becoming more and more daring. You even dare to point at your father! After you left the capital, your father missed you so much that he fell ill and did not go to court for three years. After you returned to the capital, your father saw that you were safe and sound. Everyone in the capital knows about this! Aren't you purposely making things difficult for Doctor Gu? "

Zhao Rong Region Princess had not thought of this. She thought that this wasn't making things difficult for Gu Qingze. Her father clearly thought that her question was too easy.

"Then this Region Princess will change to someone else … …" She prepared to change targets.

Gu Qingze coldly cut her off.

"No need! Your Highness is right, the High Duke is indeed suffering from a strange illness, but this illness is not caused by missing you, Your Highness. "

His gaze fell on Duke Ning and his lips curled up. "Duke Ning, what illness do you have? Do you want this commoner to say it in front of everyone?"

Duke Ning and Zhao Rong Region Princess were both stunned.

Zhao Rong Region Princess did not believe his words and immediately shouted, "Okay, since you can see it, then say it. Hmph! This Region Princess knows my father's body the best. He is not sick at all! You might be able to fool others, but you can't fool me! "

Duke Ning's face darkened and he shouted, "Zhao Rong, shut up!"

He glared at Zhao Rong Region Princess with a complicated expression. He didn't know if he was angry or strange at his precious daughter.

Zhao Rong closed her mouth after being glared at by her father. She looked dazedly at Duke Ning and wondered what was wrong with her father. Could it be that her father really had a strange illness that she didn't know about?

Duke Ning moved his lips and looked at Gu Qingze. He wanted to say something but stopped.

Because Gu Qingze was not wrong. He really did have a strange illness. It was this strange illness that had tortured him for three years and caused him to not show his face in public.

Everyone outside said that he missed his daughter so much that he became ill. When these words reached his ears, not only did he not avoid the rumor, but he sent people to spread it wantonly in the capital. Everyone praised him as a loving and good father, but no one knew the true reason behind it.

He was plagued by a strange illness, but he didn't dare to summon an imperial physician to treat him. This was because this strange illness was really hard to talk about. If it was spread out through the mouth of an imperial physician, where would he, State Duke Ning, put his face? He did not have the face to go out.

After Zhao Rong returned to the capital, he was overjoyed and his mood became much better. However, the strange illness that had tormented him for three years had not been eliminated. He had only thought of ways to hide it.

The reason why he had spent so much effort to find out Gu Qingze's whereabouts and had been humbling himself and condescending to curry favor with him was all because of his hidden illness.

He hoped that Gu Qingze could not see it, but he also hoped that he could see what illness he had.

She hoped that Gu Qingze would not be able to tell, but she also hoped that he would be able to tell what illness she was suffering from.
