"Brother, have some tea."
"Okay, thank you."
But after a cup of tea, Gu Yunru thought that Rong Zhen had really immersed himself in the fun of playing horse-riding, but unexpectedly there was a commotion at the table. Rong Zhen slammed his palm on the table, shocking everyone so much that they were stunned and dared not get close.
Gu Yunru didn't have time to swallow the tea and stood up in a hurry, but she sensed a murderous aura. Not only were Rong Zhen's eyes sharp and ruthless, but he also had an attitude of a king who looked down on the world.
"Ah Zhao...are you okay?"
Gu Yunru cautiously whispered behind him, only to see the middle-aged men who had just played mahjong with him roll up their sleeves with an unconvinced look on their faces, cursing, "Can't you afford to lose? If you can't afford to lose, don't come here."
"That just ruined my mood!"
Although everyone was several meters away from him, it did not stop them from making harsh remarks.
Gu Yunru knew that once Rong Zhen got angry, nothing could stop him.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding...Azhao!!"
Gu Yunru's voice was soft and pleasant, trying to soothe the restlessness in his heart. The closer she was to him, the more real she felt.
Rong Zhen slowly loosened his clenched fists, changed the table and started the game again.
Gu Yunru followed him closely, thinking of what Qingfeng said. As expected, he would go crazy if he was not kept an eye on for a while.
"Well, everyone, place your bets again." Gu Yunru forced an awkward smile on her face and glanced at everyone's slightly uneasy eyes.
"I don't want to play anymore. It's boring."
Rong Zhen had never played so late before, and gradually lost interest in Mahjong.
Seeing Rong Zhen walking out without saying a word, several middle-aged men surrounded him.
"You can't leave. We haven't paid you the money you lost yet!"
"That's right, you want to deny it?"
Gu Yunru's face turned pale. How could the dignified Prince Zhao still owe money and not pay it?
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, the money is all here." Gu Yunru rushed forward to help. If this group of people continued like this, they would probably have to come in vertically and leave horizontally.
Gu Yunru forcibly pulled the purse from him. Rong Zhen didn't look too happy, probably because he had never tasted the feeling of losing. It was also her fault for not dealing with these people earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have left in a bad mood.
When Gu Yunru was pulling the silver bag, a simple jade pendant on Rong Zhen's waist attracted the attention of two men. The two men had shifty eyes, one tall and one thin. They had a strong desire for money. After all, they had stayed in the mahjong hall for too long and owed a lot of debts to others. When they saw Rong Zhen, they already had ideas about him.
Gu Yunru said goodbye to the shopkeeper and walked with him on the cold street under the moonlight. Gu Yunru couldn't help but breathe out a breath of hot air and tilted her head to look at Rong Zhen, who still looked depressed. She walked to his side and rubbed his arm.
"Hey, you didn't tell me that you can't afford to lose."
When has the majestic Prince Zhao ever lost? No wonder he puts on such a condescending attitude.
"I didn't lose. I just can't stand those despicable tricks."
"ah?"
Before Gu Yunru could figure out what he meant, she suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps. Looking closely, she saw two masked men in black clothes blocking their way.
"You are so brave, do you know who we are?"
Gu Yunru looked at the two men in black who suddenly appeared, and they must have been following her for a long time.
"As long as you hand over the money, we two brothers will spare your lives!"
One of the taller ones spoke, but Gu Yunru secretly felt regretful. Why did they have to rob them when there were so many people to rob?
"That's right. I've been watching you for a long time in the mahjong hall. Hurry up and hand over all the money to me! Otherwise, I will be very cruel to you."
Both men took out the sharp daggers hidden in their sleeves, thinking that they could use these daggers to subdue them.
Rong Zhen frowned. Needless to say, the powerful aura he exuded made the two brothers angry and determined to provoke him.
"If you don't hand it over, don't blame us for being rude!"
The two brothers shouted loudly, but they didn't expect that the two men stood there motionless, especially the thin one, who actually looked at them with a teasing look. This was intolerable!
The two men rushed forward, and Rong Zhen stretched out his fist, which landed on their faces quickly with the help of the wind force. The two men were hit so hard that they saw stars and didn't even know when the punch came from.

"Sir, spare my life, Sir, spare my life!"
The taller man was more tactful and quickly knelt on the ground, knowing that they had offended someone who was not easy to deal with.
"Get out of here now!"
Rong Zhen was too lazy to talk nonsense with the two of them, and his eyes were cold.
"careful!"
Gu Yunru saw a black figure standing on the eaves, holding a bamboo tube and blowing something. Gu Yunru didn't have time to think about it, but rushed forward and stood behind him.
After seeing Gu Yunru rushing up, the black figure quickly disappeared into the night. Gu Yunru's face turned slightly pale, her eyes turned black, and she fell softly into his arms.
"Hey, you..."
Rong Zhen suddenly felt a pang in his heart. He hadn't worried about someone like this for a long time, and the girl was someone he had only met a few times.
He raised his hand to sweep up her flowing long hair, picked her up sideways, and carried her back to the mansion.
"My Lord, you are finally back!"
Qingfeng was standing at the door, a hint of guilt flashing across his eyes. Rong Zhen was worried about Gu Yunru's current situation, so he hurriedly carried her into the room.
Qingfeng looked at the prince's actions in astonishment. Without the prince's order, no one could enter his room, not even the prince's personal maids and guards. But now he made an exception for a woman! "Qingfeng, is the prince back?"
A woman in light-colored silk dress appeared behind Qingfeng, with slightly raised eyebrows, a delicate oval face, and eyes full of tenderness, very charming, but she was only a second-class maid in the mansion and could only look at the prince from afar.
"Qingyu, why haven't you rested yet? Just now, the prince suddenly brought the eldest daughter of the Gu family..." Qingfeng was halfway through his words when he gave her a meaningful look, and Qingyu immediately understood something.
Qingyu was slightly stunned, but soon regained her composure, and said with a faint smile on her face: "Isn't my second-class maid used to serve the prince at night? The prince has never come home so late, so Qingyu is worried."
"You don't have to worry, but this Miss Gu... Oops, I have to go get the doctor right away!"
