The Emperor’s decree orders the marriage of the eldest daughter of the medical family, the Gu family, to the once-great war god, now crippled and cruel, Prince Zhao.
The Gu family, unwillin...
"Yunru... Aren't you Yunru?" Tingya looked at her with an innocent and romantic expression. Her tone and attitude didn't sound like she had returned to normal at all. Maybe she just called out this name on a whim.
Gu Yunru took a deep breath, put her hand down, and said to her gently: "Princess, it's so late, you should go to bed early. You still have to run early tomorrow morning."
"Woo woo... Ya'er, don't run..." Ting Ya was very afraid of those kinds of exercises, which could not make her bleed or sweat. Gu Yunru had no choice but to hold her face patiently like coaxing a child, "Ya'er, be good, you can only recover after doing healthy exercises, understand?"
"Ya'er is not sick." Ting Ya'er's brows were knitted together, which made people feel very pitiful, like a little girl who was wronged. Who would doubt that she had some disease? "Uh, huh, Ya'er, it's true that she is not sick, but you must exercise well and eat well, understand? I will come to see you tomorrow. Go to bed quickly." Gu Yunru coaxed her to go to bed. When she opened the door, she saw Rong Zhen standing nearby. His elusive appearance was really frightening. Fortunately, Gu Yunru was used to it and didn't find it strange. She walked up to him and took a look at him.
"Why is your Highness standing here? Do you know that scaring others can kill them?" Gu Yunru's words reminded Rong Zhen of ten years ago, when Gu Yunru had said something similar to him. However, the woman in front of him did not look like her in any way, so why did she feel so familiar to him? And just now, he heard Ya call her Yunru...
"I want to eat the sticky bean curd and lotus seed paste buns you made. Go make them and bring them to me." Rong Zhen's tone was unbearable. Gu Yunru was stunned and hurriedly said, "It's so late. I have to go to bed. I won't let others make them for you if you want to eat."
That being said, however, as it was a conditioned reflex, Gu Yunru still obediently went to the kitchen and made sticky rice dumplings and lotus seed paste dumplings.
Rong Zhen was getting tired of sitting in the room waiting, and saw her walking in slowly, frowning with an unhappy look on her face, her eyes looked like she wanted to eat him up.
"What are these things you made?" Rong Zhen wanted to give her some difficult questions to test her skills, but she just casually made a steamed bun-shaped pastry out of flour and served it to her.
"This is the sticky rice dumplings that Your Highness mentioned. Actually, I don't know what sticky rice dumplings are, so I asked Nanny Hua, and she said it was made of corn paste and glutinous rice flour. So I made it according to her instructions. Your Highness, isn't this it?" Gu Yunru knew that Rong Zhen was testing her, so she pretended to be stupid and took advantage of the situation by making the so-called sticky rice dumplings and giving money. The lotus seed paste buns were just ordinary meat buns.
"How dare you! If you can't do it, then don't do it. Why are you teasing me?"
"Your Highness, you can't say that. You have already given the order, so how can I apologize?" Gu Yunru looked at him pitifully, and when she saw that he was very angry, she quickly begged for mercy in a soft voice.
"What else can you do besides these things?" Rong Zhen didn't seem annoyed, but asked patiently. Gu Yunru saw that it was already dark and the crows were about to come, so she couldn't help but yawn and said, "I didn't eat any good food when I was a child. I could only make noodles and rice noodles."
"Forget it, you can take this thing away. I won't eat it." Rong Zhen's brows were twisted into a knot, as if he had seen something extremely filthy. Gu Yunru couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. If she didn't want to eat it, she could eat it herself.
Just then the young eunuch beside the emperor ran over, sweating profusely, speechless and unable to utter a word.
"Tell me what you want to say slowly."
Rong Zhen saw him hesitating and punched him directly, which finally woke him up. The eunuch quickly knelt beside him and said, "My Lord, something is wrong. Please go and see the emperor. The emperor..." The little eunuch seemed to have a tongue knot when he said this. Gu Yunru quickly took the bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and said to Rong Zhen, "There must be something wrong in the Yangxin Palace. Let's go and take a look."
The two of them came to the Yangxin Palace side by side. The lights in the palace were already on. Many imperial doctors were kneeling on the side, sweating profusely. Gu Yunru looked at a little palace maid beside her and asked, "What's wrong with the emperor?" The little palace maid was trembling and couldn't utter a word.
"Your Majesty..." After hearing that the emperor was in trouble, the empress dowager put on a cloak and came to the Yangxin Palace despite any obstruction. The emperor was vomiting blood and even vomiting many small insects. Everyone was worried and the imperial physician was helpless. They had no idea what evil thing was working in the emperor's body. Those who watched were filled with turmoil.
"Eh, so disgusting." Gu Yunru couldn't help pinching her nose as she stood behind Rong. The room was filled with a bloody and rotten smell, and the emperor vomited several times before finally stopping. He collapsed directly on the bed, his face gray, and it seemed that he was having a last breath.
"Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician, what on earth is going on?" The Queen Mother asked the old man beside her. The old physician was knowledgeable and experienced, but had never seen such a strange thing. After giving the emperor a few injections, the emperor's nausea was finally stopped, but the things he vomited were really hard to look at.
"I know, this is the Queen Mother Gu."
Gu Yunru has never given up studying these Gu in the past few years in the mountains. This kind of mother Gu loves to reproduce. It will use humans as hosts and its ovaries to continuously give birth to small insects. If it is not properly treated, it is very likely that even the emperor's life will be in danger.
The helpless imperial doctors were stunned when they heard the words of this country girl who appeared out of nowhere. The empress dowager immediately walked up to her and said, "Gu? But there has never been any Gu in the palace. Gu magic is forbidden. How could there be a Gu?"

Yes, Gu is a taboo in the palace. If someone finds out, it is a serious crime that will lead to the execution of the entire clan. Who would use Gu in the middle of a storm? It is really unexpected. Everyone looks at each other. But there is such a weird thing in the emperor's body. It can only be the Gu...
Rong Zhen looked at the emperor lying on the bed, dying. If he still couldn't find a way to save him, he would probably die before dawn...
"Do you have any solution?" Rong Zhen could only try his luck and turned his pleading eyes to Gu Yunru's face. Everyone was skeptical about the origins of this girl.
