Chapter 103: Arrogant



Gu Yunru made a prompt decision and decided that only by finding a medical officer and prescribing some herbal medicine for her would her tendons and veins be revived.

Along the way, Gu Yunru was wondering about the identity of that woman. When he was about to get on his horse, he suddenly saw a purple jade pendant lying quietly in the desert. However, this jade pendant did not reveal any useful information and looked somewhat ordinary.

However, there was a word carved on the back that she didn't recognize. She put the jade pendant into her sleeve and continued on her journey with Huang Zijun.

Rong Zhen and others have already arrived at the posthouse, and there are naturally specialists to pick them up.

After waiting for a long time without any news from Huang Zijun and Gu Yunru, he was about to go back to the route to check it out himself, but was stopped by Shuying.

"Your Majesty, don't worry for now. Miss Gu will be fine."

Shuying had great faith in General Huang Zijun's character and skills, so she poured a cup of hot tea on the table and invited him to sit down with her.

"Are you feeling better?" Rong Zhen rarely looked at Shuying with loving eyes, and just this one look made her satisfied.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am feeling much better now, but I still feel weak sometimes."

Shuying had long since stopped expecting anything from him. She suddenly grabbed his slender fingers, gazed at him lovingly, and said, "I left the palace this time and hid it from everyone just to be alone with you for a while. Please don't leave me during this time, okay?"

Rong Zhen was just about to sweep her hand away when Qingfeng appeared at the door. He seemed to have seen something extraordinary and quickly turned around.

"Your Majesty, the general and Miss Gu are here."

It was obvious that the two had arrived at the post station safely.

After hearing the news, Rong Zhen rushed to the room impatiently. Gu Yunru watched Huang Zijun carry Qingxing to the bed and said gratefully, "Thank you."

"This is what I should do."

While the two were talking, Rong Zhen walked in from outside and asked Huang Zijun a few questions.

The two men walked to the door, Huang Zijun turned around and bowed to him, saying, "It was my fault that I failed to catch the female assassin. That woman's behavior was strange and unpredictable."

"Since you said she's weird and unpredictable, she must be hard to catch. Look at her kung fu and it seems like she's from some school or sect."

Rong Zhen asked, his tone without any emotion.

"I tested her skills and found that she should have gathered Zhongyuan and Bianxi."

"Bian Xi?" Rong Zhen frowned. Could it be that this woman came here again and again just to convey such a message to them?

But why did he target such a weak woman who was powerless? There were many doubts in this matter and he had not figured it out yet.

"We must find out the identity of this woman. Also, send more people to keep an eye on Miss Gu's whereabouts. We must ensure her safety." Rong Zhen gave the order, his tone a little deeper than before. Huang Zijun could see that the prince still cared about Miss Gu.

"I respect your order!"

The next morning, Qingxing had recovered.

Seeing that the young lady was actually serving her in person, she was flattered and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Young lady, please don't feed me porridge. This will break the rules."

"What rules? We made the rules, so I can change them." As he said that, he stuffed the porridge into her mouth. Qingxing couldn't swallow it or spit it out. Even if the prince saw it, who knows how he would punish her.

"Don't hesitate, eat quickly." He fed her another mouthful of porridge, while Rong Zhen stood at the door like a ghost. Qing Xing saw the prince's indifferent eyes and was so scared that she spit out the porridge quickly.

Gu Yunru was shocked by her reaction and thought Qingxing was sick. She turned around and saw that it was Rong Zhen. Seeing his gloomy face, she was not happy and said to him unhappily, "Why didn't you knock before coming in?"

"I knocked, but you didn't hear it."

Rong Zhen said this calmly, walked in as if nothing had happened, and sat aside.

"Ahem, A Zhao, how is Shuying?" Gu Yunru was busy taking care of Qingxing and had no time to visit her. She wanted to get some information from him and see if there was any progress between the two of them.

"Everything is fine." Rong Zhen said slowly. Gu Yunru handed the bowl to Qingxing, sat down at the table and said, "That's good. After lunch, I will go see her and take a walk around the area. Is that okay?"

"Can't."

"Why?"

Gu Yunru was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down. She finally came to the market, so of course she wanted to experience the customs and practices of the outside world. Seeing so many men and women walking on the street, she couldn't help but want to put on their rare clothes.

"You can go, but you must bring someone with you." Rong Zhen didn't want anything to go wrong while Gu Yunru was following him. Gu Yunru breathed a sigh of relief. It would be more lively with more people around anyway, so as long as she was allowed to go out for a walk, she would accept any conditions.

After lunch, Gu Yunru came to visit Shuying with some herbs.

After taking the pulse, she put down her sleeves, looked up at Shuying and smiled, "I didn't expect that your health is not so bad after coming here."

"Really? Maybe it's the prince..." Shuying's clear and bright pupils were filled with smiles again. She would have this expression whenever she mentioned Rong Zhen. Every time Gu Yunru saw this, she felt a little sour in her heart, but she had to pretend nothing had happened.

"By the way, Qingxing and I are planning to go out for a walk this afternoon. I want to see the market outside the Great Wall. Do you want to go with us?" Gu Yunru made an enthusiastic invitation. It would be more lively with one more person.

"My body can't stand the wind and sun, so I won't join in the fun. You can go with Miss Qingxing." Shuying knew her physical condition, so she declined.

Gu Yunru nodded, changed into men's clothes with Qingxing, and went out with Huang Zijun. She didn't expect that the market outside the Great Wall was so lively and very different from the capital. Although she couldn't understand the people here, Gu Yunru still felt a little elated when she saw their enthusiastic eyes.

Seeing the dazzling array of goods, she felt dizzy. She came to the stall selling rouge and powder, looked at the colorful rouge and powder, and said to Huang Zijun, "Mr. Huang, do you want to buy some for your sweetheart?"

"I... Sir, please don't make fun of me." Huang Zijun was a little embarrassed. It was the first time he accompanied two girls shopping together.

"Hehe, Qingxing, pick whatever color you like and let Master Huang pay for it."
