Therefore, the fact that she had secretly fled with her concubine had already made the emperor unhappy, so this time not only did she bring about diplomacy that satisfied the emperor, but she also volunteered to be punished for her. When the emperor learned that Concubine Ying had already died outside the Great Wall, he was disheartened.

"Ying'er..." The emperor couldn't bear the pain, but he had to grit his teeth in front of so many people.

"Your Majesty, I've been to Cheng'en Palace and found that someone has been to the scene and deliberately fabricated evidence." Cheng Shaoyuan changed the subject. The imperial physician who was taking Rong Zhen's pulse suddenly frowned. The emperor saw his expression and knew that Rong Zhen must be seriously injured.

"Doctor Su, please go down first." The emperor didn't want him to tell his physical condition in front of so many people, and asked him to go down first. Rong Zhen felt that his chest was no longer as stuffy as before he first came.

"Royal brother, has anything major happened in the palace during the time I was away?" Rong Zhen raised his eyebrows and shifted his gaze to the emperor's face curiously.

"Indeed, something big has happened." The emperor sighed and sat on the dragon throne with a solemn expression. It was obvious that he had not slept for several nights.

It seemed that it was difficult to explain to the Grand Chancellor as well. When he went to court, he came forward and said he was sick and had collapsed on his sickbed due to anger.

As soon as Rong Zhen entered the palace, he smelled some danger. After careful investigation, he found out that the newly appointed Concubine Liang had been murdered.

The emperor looked at Cheng Shaoyuan who was reporting the development of the case and said, "Okay, I understand. You will stay in the palace for the time being. If you have further news, tell me as soon as possible. I must catch the murderer in a short time."

"Yes." Cheng Shaoyuan took the order, looked up at Rong Zhen and left. Rong Zhen and the emperor were the only ones left in the hall. Seeing Rong Zhen holding on stubbornly, he walked up to him and asked, "Did Ying'er come to look for you?"

He had always wanted to ask this question, but he couldn't muster up the courage. Rong Zhen deliberately avoided his gaze, looked aside and said, "Why do you ask this, my brother?"

"Tell me the truth, did Ying'er ask Gu Yunru to take her out of the palace to find you? Otherwise, with Ying'er's personality, how could she leave the palace?"

The emperor understood everything, but he didn't expose it. He stared at his deep and bottomless eyes and asked.

Rong Zhen was not used to lying in front of him. The two grew up together. Although they had been separated for many years, she had always respected him as her brother in her heart.

He lowered his head with a trace of shame in his eyes, and said helplessly: "Brother, please don't blame Yunru. It's all my fault. If brother is really angry, then let me come alone." Rong Zhen took all the blame for Gu Yunru.

The emperor's eyes showed a hint of darkness, but he suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, do you really think I am the kind of evil person who is unforgivable? I know Ying'er will not forget you in her heart, and I also know that there is nothing innocent between you and her. Even if there are rumors in the palace, I will still choose to stand by you. I have let her down."

The emperor spoke the last words very softly, and his expression seemed extremely lost. He stood up from the dragon chair, walked to his side and said, "You go down first. I want to be alone for a while."

After a long time, Rong Zhen left. The emperor stood alone in the hall, feeling extremely quiet and deserted.

He stood on the top of the highest mountain and felt the coldest wind and the strongest loneliness. No one could truly understand him. He loved Shuying to the core, but Shu would never do anything for him.

He was angry and annoyed, but nothing went as he wished.

He closed his eyes in hatred. Perhaps he should not have taken that step in the first place. Now he has nothing left...

At this time, the imperial physician Su came to see the emperor. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the prince's condition seems to be very serious and needs to be treated as soon as possible."

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes, his expression calmed down a lot, and he asked Doctor Su to sit down. He asked coldly, "What is the reason?"

Doctor Su frowned, and the worry on his face was like a gloomy cloud. "The prince is leading his troops to the border this time. He may encounter a sandstorm. His lungs are already filled with sand, and his breathing is very slow."

When the emperor heard what he said, his expression became extremely heavy.

"So what is the cure?"

"This... can only be done by replacing the heart and lungs, and the person must be willing." As soon as Doctor Su finished speaking, the emperor was so shocked that he was speechless.

"Replace the heart and lungs..." He had never heard of such a weird thing. After asking carefully, he found out that a few decades ago, there was a person who suffered from the same disease as Rong Zhen. Finally, he met a miracle doctor in the world and used this trick.

But no one knows what happened next, and no one knows whether the man survived or not. After all, this medical skill had been lost for many years.

Doctor Su was afraid that the emperor would not believe him, so he said, "Our ancestors used this method before, so it must have worked wonders."

After hearing what Doctor Su said, the emperor hesitated a little.

Cheng Shaoyuan walked all the way to the side courtyard where Gu Yunru lived. Hearing faint sounds of joy coming from inside, he stopped curiously.

"Come and catch me!" Gu Yunru's hearty laughter penetrated the fence, and her almond-shaped eyes were covered with a layer of white gauze. I could only hear Gu Yunru's voice, but I couldn't see where she was.

While searching, she caught a person. Qing Xing excitedly took off her blindfold, but she didn't expect that the person standing in front of her was Cheng Shaoyuan.

"Mr. Cheng...how could it be you?" Qingxing took a few steps back. Gu Yunru poked her head out from the house, thinking that Qingxing was cheating and peeking, but she didn't expect that Cheng Shaoyuan actually came back.

"I'm back." Cheng Shaoyuan raised his lips slightly, noticed Gu Yunru walking out of the door from the right, and gave her a warm smile.

"Miss Gu." Cheng Shaoyuan saw her eyes full of surprise again, and when Gu Yunru saw him, she subconsciously wondered if the emperor blamed her. "Did the emperor send you to arrest me?" Gu Yunru walked forward timidly, looking left and right, and did not notice the guards guarding the door.

"No, I come to see yours." After Cheng Shaoyuan finished speaking, he sat calmly at the round table. Qingxing glanced at Gu Yunru's expression hesitantly, then obediently stepped aside to serve tea.

When Gu Yunru saw Cheng Shaoyuan again, she felt that his gaze had become calmer than before.

"Mr. Cheng, didn't you bring your sister with you when you entered the palace today?" Gu Yunru asked, wanting to know what he had encountered on this trip.

"Jun Yue is fine at home, and she also asked me to say hello to you." Cheng Shaoyuan pursed his lips and smiled. Gu Yunru asked suspiciously, "She can say hello to me? Mr. Cheng, don't make fun of me." Gu Yunru would never believe that Jun Yue could say hello to her.

The two sat facing each other, with nothing to say. Cheng Shaoyuan then told her about Xie Liangdi, whose death was extremely strange and it seemed that someone had tampered with the scene.
