"Forget it, tell everyone to leave the palace first, and come back tomorrow morning to check."
"yes."
Gu Yunru folded her arms across her chest and followed behind him, looking thoughtful.
"what's on your mind?"
Cheng Shaoyuan looked at Gu Yunru with tenderness, and he only showed such an expression when facing her.
"I was wondering who the emperor was going to favor that day? How did Shaoyao know that the emperor had moved to the Yanxi Palace? The emperor didn't seem to have any intention of favoring anyone that night."
This is the clue Gu Yunru got. It seems that the person who conveyed the information that night was the loophole in this matter.
"Do you suspect that someone is deliberately confusing us?" Cheng Shaoyuan looked at her with admiration. It seemed that women's thinking ability was not much weaker than men's.
"Yes, but now there is no evidence. Shaoyao's death is very strange. Why not..."
Just as she was about to leave the palace with him to go to the Dali Temple, she didn't expect a figure suddenly appearing behind her to ruin everything.
"Princess, so you are here."
Qingfeng's magnetic voice sounded, and Gu Yunru turned her head. Qingfeng was here, which meant that Rong Zhen was not far away from her. This guy always spoiled her fun at the critical moment. He was so annoying.
"What are you doing here?"
When did Qingfeng become such a weak sticky plaster? Gu Yunru put her hands on her chest with an unhappy look on her face and looked at him coldly.
"According to the prince's order, find the princess."
"I say, your prince is really lingering around. Can't he leave some private space?" Gu Yunru still wanted to bargain with Rong Zhen, but then she changed her mind and realized that she was too naive.
"Please return home as soon as possible, Princess." Qingfeng had a mission to accomplish. If he didn't take her back, he wouldn't be able to go back with her tonight.
"It's really annoying now." Gu Yunru was in the middle of solving a case when he interrupted her. After saying goodbye to Cheng Shaoyuan reluctantly, she got on the carriage. Qingxing was waiting for her in the carriage, along with Qingshuang.
"Miss, do you know that the prince has been waiting for you for a long time?" Qing Xing lowered her voice and winked at her, while Rong Zhen, who was sitting opposite her, was resting with his eyes closed and seemed to have fallen asleep.
"I didn't ask him to wait for me." Gu Yunru was stubborn and made up her mind. If he was really sleepy, he could just go back to sleep first. She was not without a place to stay.
Qing Xing's heart was pounding, and she said quickly, "Miss, you must not speak to the prince like that."
"What are you doing? Are you still mute?" Gu Yunru didn't want to pay attention to the guy in front of her, so she closed her eyes and slept all the way to the palace.
Rong Zhen and Qingfeng returned to the hall first. Before he entered the house, he vomited a mouthful of blood. Qingfeng helped him sit aside, his face full of worry.
"Your Highness...you have been like this since you came back from the Great Wall. Why don't you let the princess take a look at you?"
"The king is fine, just a few internal injuries."
"But……"
"Okay, if the prince says it's alright, then it's alright." Rong Zhen didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he asked him to leave first. Qingyu, who was guarding the door, had been observing the scene carefully. It turned out that the prince had suffered such serious internal injuries, but he was hiding it.
Gu Yunru was feeling a little tired and was about to go to sleep with her clothes on when she heard an urgent knock on the door.
"Princess, please save the prince." When Qingyu saw the door open, she knelt down in front of her, and Gu Yunru was startled.
"Qingyu, what are you doing? Hurry up and get up." Gu Yunru held her arms tightly and helped her up. However, Qingyu shook her head with a sad face and sat on the chair.
"The prince has suffered severe internal injuries. He usually pretends to be fine, but I saw with my own eyes that he just vomited black blood."
As Qingyu spoke, the fear and worry on her face could not be shaken off. It seemed that she was really worried about Rong Zhen.
"Don't worry, he just spit out blood, right? And then, is there anything else wrong?" Gu Yunru's heart was in his throat. He experienced the sandstorm when he came back from the frontier. He thought he was safe, but he didn't expect that he would be left with such serious sequelae.
"I saw that he couldn't even stand steadily. When has the prince ever been so embarrassed?" Qingyu sobbed. Gu Yunru patted her shoulder comfortingly. "Okay, okay, I know what's going on. I'll check his pulse tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Princess." Qingyu came over to report the news and then left. Gu Yunru lay in bed tossing and turning but couldn't fall asleep. He always felt that the person who saved him in the desert was Rong Zhen. After all, that feeling made him feel very familiar.
The next morning, Gu Yunru, who had always been concerned, went to Rong Zhen's room and saw that he had already finished dressing up and seemed to be looking at a memorial paper. Without saying a word, she sat beside him and took his big hand.

"What are you doing?" Rong Zhen looked at her with half-closed eyes, muttering something in a mysterious way, and felt it was unbelievable.
"I recently learned how to tell fortunes, so let me tell them for you." Gu Yunru said with a smile. He knew that Rong Zhen didn't want others to know about his physical condition, so he could only use the identity of a fortune teller to observe what was wrong with his body.
"What nonsense have you learned?" Rong Zhen looked at her with interest, but she raised her index finger to her lips and said in an unusually serious manner: "Shh, the fortune teller is helping you observe your future career..."
Rong Zhen was caught off guard by her inexplicable behavior and could only stand still and let her play with his big hand.
"Okay! I noticed that you have some coldness in your body recently. You need to eat some angelica, wolfberry, and pinellia to replenish your body."
Gu Yunru kept mumbling to herself, and Rong Zhen asked, "What does this have to do with calculating my career path?"
"Because... you can only go far if you are healthy? Besides, you are so angry every day, shouldn't you smile more every day? Have you learned to sing the 300 nursery rhymes I taught you?"
As soon as these words came out, Rong Zhen coughed violently. Gu Yunru quickly held the cup to his mouth and said, "Okay, okay, I know you don't like singing, so do some more aerobics, or we can open the warehouse and release the grain!"
“………”
Looking at Gu Yunru who was acting on her own, Rong Zhen completely compromised.
That afternoon, the granary was opened and grain was released in front of the palace gate. Upon hearing the news, many common people rushed there and formed a long queue.
"I didn't expect there are so many poor families in Da Qi."
Gu Yunru looked at so many people wearing tattered clothes, some of which were patched. These poor people really had a hard life. It seemed that the apparent prosperity of Da Qi was indeed an illusion.
"Everyone has his own destiny." Gu Yunru was startled by the sound of Rong Zhen's ghostly and magnetic voice. She turned her head and rolled her eyes at him.
"That won't do. Are you collecting too much tax?"
