Gu Junyao looked surprised.

Gu Yunru smiled awkwardly.

"I'm curious. He's also a servant of the Gu family. What's wrong with showing some concern for him?"

I know that Ah Chou once took care of her. I heard that when Gu Junyao was in poverty in Qingping Temple, it was Ah Chou who helped take care of her, so that she was able to return safely.

"Sister, you should take more care of yourself. After the marriage, Miss Xie will become the prince's concubine. I heard that the prince and Miss Xie were in the back garden that day..." Gu Junyao pretended to be suspenseful, and halfway through her words, she lowered her head with an embarrassed look on her face.

"What are you doing in the back garden?" Gu Yunru asked curiously, and she actually brought the topic to another topic.

"Forget it, there are some things that I'd better not listen to." Gu Junyao smiled softly. Gu Yunru couldn't stay in Yanxi Palace for a while and rushed out in a hurry.

Walking on the cobblestone path, she stomped her feet in frustration and was seen by a small stool not far away. She greeted her enthusiastically, but she didn't expect that Gu Yunru seemed to look a little bad today.

"Miss Gu...what's wrong with you?" Xiao Dengzi walked forward curiously and asked with concern. Gu Yunru quickly calmed down and turned around and said nonchalantly: "Nothing, just relaxing. What's wrong, Xiao Dengzi?"

"Miss, you are here venting your anger with a stone. Is it because of the prince's matter?" Xiaodengzi is indeed a smart man. He can see what Gu Yunru is thinking at a glance.

"I won't do it for him!" Gu Yunru turned her head away with a stubborn look on her face. It had nothing to do with her whether he had intimate contact with any young lady, so why was she so angry? "Oh, my little ancestor, the prince and the young lady of the Xie family. It was just an accidental encounter in the back garden. I can see clearly that it was the young lady of the Xie family who fell into his arms by herself."

"What do you mean?" Gu Yunru glanced at him calmly and motioned for him to continue.

"Miss Xie is interested in the prince, and the Grand Chancellor is also interested in facilitating this marriage."

Gu Yunru was suspicious and said loudly, "But people in the palace said that they fell in love at first sight and were attracted to each other."

When Xiao Dengzi heard this, he chuckled and said, "These people can't do anything except exaggerate things on weekdays."

"real?"

"Of course, can the servant's words be false?"

"Okay, then I'll trust you, little stool." Gu Yunru regained her usual elegant and virtuous look, blinked at him and said, "Did Tingya come back yesterday?"

"The princess is accompanying the empress dowager. Why don't you go and see her?" Xiaodengzi looked at her with a smile. Gu Yunru just missed the princess, so she went to the empress dowager's palace to pay her respects and visit Tingya by the way.

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen Mother." Gu Yunru bowed and saw the princess standing beside the Queen Mother with a smile on her face.

"Yunru, you're here, come here." Tingya waved at her, and Gu Yunru stood up hesitantly.

"I've heard about Xie Bingyan's affairs. Don't worry. If he treats you badly after you marry into the palace, I will definitely help you teach him a lesson."

Tingya is a righteous and upright person, but she has no control over the affairs of the cabinet.

"Thank you, Princess, but you don't have to worry about this matter." Gu Yunru had a sad face. Thinking of what Xiaodengzi said, she reluctantly took a reassurance in her heart.

The Queen Mother saw that the two seemed to want to talk about something, and since it would be inconvenient for an old lady like her to be around, she simply made an excuse to leave and left the place to the two.

"Farewell, mother." Tingya looked up at the empress dowager's figure playfully. After she walked away, she happily took her arm, sat aside, and placed the steamed hibiscus cake on the table.

"Yunru, you are going to be a princess soon, how do you feel?"

"What kind of mood can I have? I am the fish on the chopping board." Gu Yunru was already in a desperate mood.

"How can you think that? Although Xie Bingyan is as pretty as a flower, you are not bad either."

Tingya smiled and said, "Ziqiao and I have moved back to Beijing from the inn outside the station. When you are free, come to Ruyi Inn to find us."

"You have become the proprietress of an inn now, congratulations." Gu Yunru congratulated her sincerely. Although the princess could not enjoy a carefree life now, she could be with her beloved and they could quarrel and argue with each other every day. This was a life that many people envied.

Tingya casually placed her hand on her shoulder, and said with a faint smile: "Congratulations on becoming Princess Zhao soon."

Gu Yunru smiled perfunctorily, but she always had a strange feeling in her heart.

The wedding day is getting closer, and Gu Yunru's uneasiness and anxiety are all because of Xie Bingyan.

I don’t know whether Rong Zhen listened to her and took the medicine obediently.

Palace, late at night.

Gu Yunru was disturbed by the cicadas outside and couldn't sleep. She tied her cloak and went outside. At this time, she heard a bleak flute sound. The flute sound contained a kind of sadness that touched her heart.

She walked towards the sound, not wanting to disturb the tranquility.

Sure enough, I saw a man in a white robe standing in the pavilion with a straight figure.

"It's you." Gu Yunru was surprised when she saw him turn around. She didn't expect that he could play the flute so well.

"You're here." Rong Zhen coughed violently just after he finished speaking. Gu Yunru rushed forward, helped him to sit aside, and frowned and said, "Have you listened to me these days and taken your medicine obediently?"

"Who told you not to keep an eye on it? I have already asked someone to bring all the medicine." Rong Zhen said calmly and looked at her provocatively.

"Then you deserve it." Gu Yunru sat beside him unhappily. The night was a little chilly and a gust of cold wind slowly blew into the back of his neck.

Rong Zhen did not answer, but covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.

"Why are you coughing so hard? Let me see." Gu Yunru put her hand directly on his pulse and found that his pulse was very disordered.

"How could this happen?" Gu Yunru's brows twisted into knots. His internal organs had already begun to twist, so how could he still bicker with her every day with a blank expression? "It's just a minor injury, there's no need to get so excited." Rong Zhen said, and waved her hand away.

"This is not a minor injury. Besides, I just don't want to be a widow in the future, so you must listen to me in the future."

Gu Yunru stood in front of him powerfully, looking fearlessly into his calm tiger eyes.

"It's up to you." Rong Zhen didn't want to continue arguing with him. It would be good if his life could be extended. If he couldn't save his life, there was no need to force it.

Watching his back walking away, Gu Yunru sighed. He was so old, but he still threw tantrums like a child.
