Shuying's face turned pale and her lips became increasingly purple.

"Well, you say." Rong Zhen couldn't bear to refuse and looked at her with worried eyes.

"I want to lie in the prince's arms." Shuying slowly raised the corners of her mouth. She had always dreamed of dying in his arms at this moment.

Rong Zhen held her in his arms, spread out his sleeves, and wrapped her up to prevent any cold wind from getting in.

Shuying's eyes slowly filled with crystal tears, and she whispered, "My Lord, just like that, just hold Shuying tight."

Rong Zhen did not answer. He just held her tightly as she requested. Even though he was reluctant, this day would come sooner or later. After an unknown amount of time, Shuying's body temperature was slowly dropping. Holding her cold body, Rong Zhen closed his eyes in despair.

Qingxing put a cloak on Gu Yunru and said softly to her, "Miss, go back to your room and rest. The prince will not come out tonight."

"Yeah." Gu Yunru stopped involuntarily as he approached Shuying's door. There was no sound from inside, but the candle was still lit.

Shuying finally fulfilled her wish. Gu Yunru returned to her room with a heavy heart. She tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep until dawn when she fell into a deep sleep.

It was almost noon when Gu Yunru woke up. She vaguely remembered that someone seemed to call her, but she was too sleepy to wake up.

"Qing Xing." Gu Yunru called out to the door. Qing Xing walked in with a basin of water and said, "Miss, you finally woke up. The prince has already sent people to deal with Miss Shuying's body."

"Oh." Gu Yunru still felt a little depressed. Although she knew this would be the ending, she still had an indescribable complex emotion.

"Miss, don't be unhappy. Let's go to Hua Man Lou again today."

"Yes." Gu Yunru and Qingxing packed up and were about to go out. Huang Zijun suddenly stood in front of them, crossed his arms, looked at them and said, "Miss, without the prince's permission, you two are temporarily not allowed to enter or leave the post station."

"Why? Didn't we go out shopping the day before yesterday?" Gu Yunru hated the feeling of being under house arrest the most.

"The situation has been turbulent recently, and the prince is also concerned about your safety."

Seeing Huang Zijun's sanctimonious words, Gu Yunru couldn't help but roll her eyes and sat back on the bed angrily. She had finally gotten ready and dressed, but suddenly he told her that she couldn't go out.

On the other side, Rong Zhen was receiving the envoy, so he couldn't let the two go out for the time being, lest others catch them.

Many people wearing clothes from outside the Great Wall kept pouring into the post station. Their identities were special. Gu Yunru could only look out through the window. Huang Zijun, who looked like he was wearing an iron mask, waved at him and said, "Come here."

"I wonder what you want, young lady."

"Who are that fat guy and the people who got off the carriage?" Gu Yunru was very curious. What were they going to discuss in secret here? "This has nothing to do with the young lady, so please don't ask."

Huang Zijun is definitely the most secretive man Gu Yunru has ever met in the world.

"Tsk, I don't want to ask if you don't tell me." Gu Yunru snorted at him and turned around to close the door.

"Miss, then listen to the prince and stay in the room." Qingxing looked at the young lady. She was cheerful and lively, but she couldn't stand loneliness.

"Hmph!" Gu Yunru got angry and ignored everyone.

These people from outside the Great Wall who came to the post station were actually spies planted by Rong Zhen. They would meet when necessary and provide information.

Everyone was gathered in a dark room discussing plans, when suddenly a group of soldiers from outside the Great Wall surrounded the post station.

Huang Zijun had been monitoring the movements downstairs. When he saw this, he rushed into Gu Yunru's room without saying a word and pulled her out of bed.

"Hey, what are you doing? I just fell asleep." Gu Yunru had nothing to do, so she lay on the bed counting sheep. She fell asleep while counting. Just as she was about to eat the big pig's trotter in her dream, she was picked up by him unexpectedly.

"Hurry up, don't you want to go out?" Huang Zijun received Rong Zhen's order to protect her safety to the death, so his ruthless attitude changed again. Gu Yunru said that she would not leave no matter what.

"Why? If you want to leave, then leave. If you don't want to leave, then don't leave. I'm not leaving today."

Huang Zijun looked around worriedly and saw that the post station had been cordoned off inside and out. Apparently someone had leaked the news.

"I'm sorry, miss." Huang Zijun suddenly said this to her. Before Gu Yunru started to shout for help, he hit her on the back of the head with a palm and she fainted. Qingxing heard the noise from the next room and ran over in a hurry.

"What happened? General Huang, what did you do to my young lady?"

"Don't ask too many questions, just follow me quickly, we are surrounded downstairs." Qing Xing realized it belatedly and nodded blankly. No wonder she heard such a big commotion downstairs.

When they walked downstairs, a fight had already begun.

Huang Zijun knew there was a secret passage in the backyard, so he took the two of them to the secret passage.

They arrived at Huamanlou while no one was paying attention. Kang Keren received the letter and went to the winery in the backyard to meet them. She opened the crack in the wall and welcomed them out.

"Miss Kang, please take care of her for me. I have things to do." Huang Zijun sent them here and couldn't wait to leave. He had to ensure the safety of the prince.

Gu Yunru was sent to a superior room, and Qingxing took care of her every step of the way. She looked worried when she saw Kang Keren waiting for her with a basin of hot water.

"I'll do it." Qing Xing didn't want this woman who smelled like a fox to touch her lady.

The scene changed, and Rong Zhen directly led everyone to give up resistance. As long as he agreed to go with these people, things could be prevented from getting worse.

Rong Zhen was taken to the palace, which was the territory of Bian Xi. They had always been at odds with Bian Xi, but they did not expect that the prince from the Central Plains would come uninvited, which made them feel even more dangerous.

"Your Majesty, this is King Zhao."

A minister walked to the front of the hall and spoke to the old king. The old king narrowed his eyes, and it seemed that he had reached the age of forty, but he still sat firmly on the throne. The hall was very spacious, with steps made of pearls and stones, and a layer of white marble in front of the bank. The tone of the whole hall was very heavy, and the color was not very bright. It was because of this that there was a sense of solemnity.

"Haha, I've heard of His Royal Highness Prince Zhao's heroic name for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet him in this way today."

The old king still respected Rong Zhen very much and did not have his hands and feet tied. Instead, he let him stand in front of the palace with dignity.

"Greetings, old monarch. I had been planning to go to the court to pay my respects, but I didn't expect... your people had already discovered it." Rong Zhen couldn't help but reveal a smile with an ambiguous meaning.
