Ms. Doctor Divine

De Fu was in charge of the storage house, accompanied by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

That was because the King trusted DeFu more than he trusted the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

“Lady Chaoyan, we have arrived at the storage house.” De Fu reminded her.

!!

“Take me in then,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly, observing the place.

De Fu nodded.

He had a very serious expression as well.

The King was on the throne, but he was disgraced when he was just a lord. He had suffered so much so he really cared about the treasures inside the storage house, mostly because of the miserable time he had when he was younger.

The King would lose many things now that Lady Chaoyan paid a visit here, but what else could they do about it?

This tricky Elder Miss was the Phoenix Girl, after all.

De Fu just hoped that Lady Chaoyan could take as few things as possible so that the King could feel better.

“Why is the storage house always so bright?” Gu Chaoyan asked, as she walked in.

De Fu led the way and answered, when he heard her question. “That is because the King got some Night Pearls in his youth. The biggest one is at his Qianqing Palace, and the small ones are in the storage house, so it is always lit up.”

Gu Chaoyan nodded understandingly, seeking for the place where the Night Pearls were placed.

She spotted a nice one, then she grabbed it and placed it into Sword One’s hands. “Night Pearls are nice. If one can be put in the room of Begonia Yard, that would be great. I am the Phoenix Girl, after all. So I will take one.”

De Fu was leading the way, but he almost tripped himself after hearing that.

He gave a thorough explanation to Lady Chaoyan, but never thought that Lady Chaoyan would take one away. However, he could not take the one out of her hands, right? So he twitched his face, and said, “Yeah…”

The King loved Night Pearls. Now one was gone, and De Fu could not possibly let her walk about in the storage house randomly.

She was led to another direction, as De Fu explained. “Lady Chaoyan, come this way, these are all tributes.”

Gu Chaoyan followed him.

She had already taken the Night Pearl, and she did not plan to walk about to make a big scene or to embarrasse De Fu.

She looked through the tributes and did not hesitate to take those things.

She always took the best ones.

She had taken almost half of the tributes after a while. “Just these for the moment. Begonia Yard is a nice yard, but it’s not as big as the one in the court. I can’t have too many inside, so this is the small portion I can take, though the King wants to endow me more.”

De Fu’s face twitched after hearing that. Just a small portion.

The King would get really distressed upon seeing what he had lost.

It was the King’s misfortune to have met Lady Chaoyan who was the Phoenix Girl.

De Fu had a few men come to carry the items away.

He brought Gu Chaoyan out of the storage house, not daring to make it slow.

Gu Chaoyan walked leisurely in the court.

She was in a good mood.

“Chief De Fu, the King assigned you to keep me company back at the Gu Mansion to settle down, but, Chief De Fu…”
