Qingshuang was considered a first-class maid in Ginkgo Garden. Qingyu was responsible for taking care of the prince's daily life. If the two got married, she would also take care of the princess.

Gu Yunru and her maid Qingxing were resting in the house. Qingshuang raised her eyes and her gaze drifted slightly. She walked to the stone steps and looked at Qingyu who was absent-minded in front of her and said, "Why, you are so listless after seeing the princess-to-be come back?"

She only needed to take one look to understand Qingyu's little thoughts.

Now that the prince has brought the future princess back home, I believe their wedding will be soon.

"As servants, we must abide by our duties and know the difference between master and servant." Qingshuang deliberately raised her voice and reminded her sternly in her ear.

"You don't need to teach me these principles, I understand them all." Qingyu looked him up and down, and then left her sight with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Xie Mansion.

Because of Xie Yuaner's matter, Xie Yihui hasn't slept well for several nights. It's not because he is so heartbroken about this niece whom he has only met a few times, but because this incident happened in the palace and the person who died was a member of the Xie family, so he can't help but feel a little guilty.

"Sir, Concubine Shu's people are here and they want to see you." A servant walked quickly to Xie Yihui and spoke in a low voice, but Xie Yihui waved his hand expressionlessly to indicate that he was not seeing them.

After the servant walked away, another man in a long gown and purple shirt came out. The man had very handsome eyebrows and eyes, and a cold aura.

"Father, Concubine Shu is also under house arrest now. I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with her."

This handsome man is his eldest son Xie Changming. Xie Changming works in the Ministry of Industry and usually keeps a low profile. Unlike his younger brother Xie Changyong who likes to show off, Xie Changming is also the eldest son that Xie Yihui values ​​the most.

"How could I not know? I was just wondering who on earth had such extraordinary abilities to kill two people without making any noise overnight." Xie Yihui racked his brains but could not figure out who this potentially dangerous person was, and... he seemed to be very close to him.

"Father, the emperor has already sent people to investigate this matter. For the time being, the Xie family must pretend to ask for justice from Concubine Shu's mother's family, so that the emperor will not think that the two families are secretly communicating."

Xie Changming was a man of meticulous and careful mind. Xie Yihui half-closed his eyes as he listened to his words.

"Well, I'll leave the rest to you."

The Xie family had to send a representative to the palace to seek an explanation, and this task naturally fell on Xie Changming.

The next day.

Xie Changming asked the emperor in front of all the court officials to bring the real murderer to justice and set a deadline for the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice.

Cheng Shaoyuan said nothing throughout the whole process and let Xie Changming set the time limit.

The deadline is three days.

Such a tight schedule made everyone feel troubled, but for Cheng Shaoyuan, it was undoubtedly a huge challenge.

After the court session, Xie Changming caught up with Cheng Shaoyuan and bowed to him.

"Brother Cheng, it's not that the Xie family wants to embarrass the Dali Temple, but justice must be done to my cousin in this matter."

Cheng Shaoyuan's facial expression was extremely gentle. He returned the greeting and said to him with a frank smile, "This is the duty of the Dali Temple. I would have done this even if Brother Xie hadn't said so."

"Then I'll leave the rest to Brother Cheng." A shrewd look flashed across Xie Changming's eyes. After watching Cheng Shaoyuan walk away, he immediately rushed to the mansion.

As night slowly falls, Kyoto becomes bustling with activity.

Gu Yunru was sitting on the swing chair in the yard in a daze, and Qingxing brought over some freshly cut melon.

"Miss, please try it. I heard that this was a tribute from Turpan." When Gu Yunru returned to the palace, Rong Zhen ordered that all the rewards given by the emperor be taken out of the ice storage.

As long as they were rare treasures and exotic flowers and fruits in the world, they would be brought out for her to taste one by one.

Gu Yunru and Qingxing were eating fruits while looking up at the sky, and suddenly they sighed with emotion.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Qing Xing knew that the young lady was definitely not homesick, but was depressed about her new identity.

"It's nothing. I don't know what's going on in the palace now." Gu Yunru missed the princess and the queen mother. Such a thing happened in the palace, but she couldn't help Cheng Shaoyuan.

"There are so many people in the palace, Miss, you don't need to worry." Qing Xing talked endlessly while eating. At this time, a figure quietly descended nearby.

"Who!" Gu Yunru noticed a ghostly shadow behind him and stood up vigilantly.

"You, you walk without making any sound." Gu Yunru didn't even want to complain. Looking at Rong Zhen's slow steps, she suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, A Zhao, since our wedding is still more than half a month away, why don't you let me go to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother for a while?" Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen with a smile, but Rong Zhen had his hands behind his back with an expressionless face, and the contours of his face were as deep and clear as if carved with a knife.

"You are not allowed to go." Rong Zhen knew that she could not sit still, so he specially invited a nanny to teach her needlework.

As the Princess of Zhao in the future, she would naturally have to accompany him to various grand occasions, and these etiquettes were indispensable.

"It's so boring. Can you bear to watch me stink and rot here?" Gu Yunru complained and begged with squinted eyes in grievance.

"Do you really want to enter the palace? Go to the Emperor and confess your crime?" Rong Zhen just didn't want her to jump around in front of the Emperor, otherwise the Emperor might remember Shuying's matter one day and punish her directly.

"Hmph." Gu Yunru crossed her arms and ignored him, swinging leisurely on the swing, treating the person in front of her as air, not caring at all.

"You can go if you want. Tomorrow night is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

There will be a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, and even the princess will come back at that time.

"Mid-Autumn Festival!" Gu Yunru's eyes sparkled with excitement, and even her attitude became softer.

"Yeah." Rong Zhen curled his lips. This damn girl's attitude changed really quickly.

"Great! I need to see what clothes I can wear into the palace." Gu Yunru's eyes lit up, and she walked back to the room, leaving him alone in the yard.

Qingyu saw Rong Zhen standing alone not far away, and couldn't help feeling a little lonely.

She walked up quietly, took the gray plush cloak in her hand, and draped it over his shoulders.

"Your Highness, be careful not to catch a cold." Qingyu's voice was clear and gentle like pearls falling on a jade plate.

Rong Zhen, however, had a blank expression on his face, and looked at her inquiringly with his clear yet cold eyes.

"Qingyu, you have been following me for some years, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Qingyu lowered her head, but she couldn't hide her excitement.

"I will release all the women in the palace who have reached a certain age. I estimate that you will be almost twenty years old."
