Gu Yufei woke up from her anxiety and saw a group of stern faces in front of her.
Surrounding her were Prince Rong and his men. Rong Xue had a complicated smile in her eyes, while Rong Hao looked particularly serious.
"You must give an explanation for what happened last night. The Imperial Master's Mansion was attacked, and you happened to be out. You don't look like you're not in your right mind." Rong Hao said straight to the point.
Gu Yufei's heart tightened. How would she deal with her identity being exposed? However, before she could even speak, Rong Xue had already attracted everyone's attention.
"I've already said that this nightgown is a gift from me to Miss Gu." Rong Xue said softly, looking at Gu Yufei with a firm and affectionate gaze.
Gu Yufei was stunned for a moment, then she understood Rong Xue's intention. She quickly followed up, "Yes, Master Rong Xue knew I liked nightgowns, so he gave me this dress."
Rong Xue continued his performance: "I fell in love with Miss Gu at first sight, and I hope this small gift can bring us closer." His words were full of tenderness, as if he was really an infatuated man.
Now it was the turn of everyone present to be surprised.
Gu Yufei looked more like she had been deflated.
The feeling Rong Xue gave her was definitely not the joy he described.
It's just that he acted so realistically that, except for Gu Yufei, Rong Hao and the others all believed it.
Rong Hao frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
He has always been concerned about Gu Yufei's identity and suspected that she was related to the female devil, so he observed and paid attention to her for a long time. Gradually, he found that he actually began to care about her.
Moreover, if she is really related to the female devil, how can she be let go?
Prince Rong was also shocked, but he did not express much opinion.
After a while, he said lightly: "This is just a misunderstanding, let's all go away." Then he left Rong Xue privately.
Prince Rong's gaze was deep. He looked directly into Rong Xue's eyes and said, "Do you really have feelings for Gu Yufei? Xue'er, do you know what you just said?"
Rong Xue responded fearlessly: "Yes, father."
"Then, can you guarantee that she is not our enemy?" King Rong sighed.
Rong Xue smiled.
Gu Yufei is definitely not an enemy.
But how can I make my father believe it?
After a pause, Rong Xue said, "I will take her away from here. I will never let her get involved in the palace."
Meanwhile, Gu Yufei stood quietly outside, knowing how much Rong Xue had done for her, and she felt a deep sense of gratitude. She also realized that Rong Hao's attitude might become a problem she would have to face in the future.
Gu Yufei decided that she needed to be more careful.

Yuan Shuyi's room
There was a sound of breaking porcelain in the room, which was particularly harsh in the silent corridor.
When the maids heard the sound, they were startled and immediately stopped what they were doing. They quickly walked to Yuan Shuyi's room, knocked on the door gently, and asked, "Miss, what happened? Do you need our help?"
The room was silent for a moment, and then Yuan Shuyi's gentle voice came: "It's nothing, I accidentally knocked over the cup, you guys go and do your work."
The maids heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but they were still a little worried and asked, "Miss, are you really okay? Do you want us to come in and clean up?"
Yuan Shuyi said again: "No need, I can clean it myself, you guys go ahead and do your work."
After hearing this, the maids had no choice but to respond and turned away.
In the room, Yuan Shuyi sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror. She remembered what had just happened and couldn't help feeling annoyed.
