Cheng Shaoyuan showed a hint of embarrassment and chose to sit down in front of her.

"You've had a little too much to drink."

"Not much, not much at all, just a few glasses." Gu Yunru poured him a bowl of wine, and seeing that he looked reluctant, she sat down and stared into his eyes and said, "Why, you don't want to drink with me?"

"Drinking will delay my work. I have work to do. I plan to leave after eating here."

Cheng Shaoyuan never drinks, and everyone can see his character. Gu Yunru nodded and said after realizing it, "That's true. You still have to investigate and solve cases, but I can only stay here like a vase, dressing myself up beautifully just to make those men who don't understand romance smile..."

After saying that, he fell down on the table. Qing Xing was anxious, but didn't know where to start.

"Master Cheng... please send her upstairs." Qing Xing thought that she had to sober up at Ruyi Inn, otherwise the prince would be unhappy if she went back like this.

"Don't worry about me, I can still drink." Gu Yunru suddenly raised his head excitedly and smiled at everyone.

Cheng Shaoyuan put his hand on her shoulder and helped her to the second floor. When Ting Ya came out from the kitchen, she saw Cheng Shaoyuan helping her upstairs.

Tingya had been waiting downstairs for Cheng Shaoyuan to come down, so she stepped forward and said, "Thanks to Master Cheng just now, but Yunru is now the princess, so Master Cheng please keep some distance from her to avoid unnecessary trouble and misunderstandings."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." After saying this, he glanced upstairs with some reluctance and left Ruyi Inn.

Tingya shook her head helplessly. Cheng Shaoyuan was also a passionate and infatuated man, but it was a pity that he loved the wrong person.

When Gu Yunru sobered up, she found Rong Zhen standing in front of her. He had a serious face and his eyes were vaguely dissatisfied, as if full of blame.

"Where am I?" Gu Yunru looked around dizzily. Suddenly, she heard a miserable cry from the yard. It was Qingxing...

Qingxing was placed on a bench and was being punished.

"My Lord, spare me... My Lord..." Qingxing screamed. Gu Yunru realized something was wrong and quickly threw off the quilt and ran out of the door barefoot. When he saw Qingxing being punished, he immediately turned around and looked at him and said, "Why are you punishing Qingxing!"

"Because she didn't keep an eye on you and followed you out to make trouble, she should be punished."

Rong Zhen said this lightly, and stood outside the door with her, witnessing Qing Xing being punished with his own eyes.

"But this has nothing to do with Qingxing. Just come at me whatever you want. Tell them to stop immediately!" Gu Yunru shouted at him.

"Then you have to promise me that you won't leave without saying hello again."

"Okay." Gu Yunru agreed to him without hesitation. She wanted to rescue Qingxing first. Who knew what would happen in the future?

Qingxing was beaten with more than a dozen boards, and her buttocks were swollen as high as a hill. She was taken to the warehouse to apply medicine.

Gu Yunru said to him angrily: "I thought the shadow in your heart was cured, but I didn't expect you to be still as perverted as before!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you understand what I mean? I said you have a dark heart!" Gu Yunru raised her green jade fingers and poked his chest. Rong Zhen stood there motionless, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

"Whatever you say." Rong Zhen said, turned around and left the sight.

As night fell, Gu Yunru took Qingshuang and some medicine to see Qingxing. Seeing that she was finally feeling better, Gu Yunru sighed sadly and said, "It's all my fault that I got you into trouble."

"Princess, please don't say that. In fact, the prince is still very worried about you."

"Worried? I don't realize how worried he is about me." Gu Yunru said angrily as she sat aside. Qingshuang's eyes rolled and she said, "Princess, the prince is very worried about you. The world outside is in chaos, so there is a reason why he asked you to go out less."

"Reason? Humph, I think he just wants to torture me!" Gu Yunru snorted in displeasure.

Two days later, Xie Bingyan entered the mansion and came to pay her respects to Gu Yunru early in the morning.

"Get up quickly." Gu Yunru couldn't bear such a gift from her. Xie Bingyan raised her charming eyes. Gu Yunru was almost melted by the look in her eyes.

"Princess, these are some gifts that Bingyan brought from home. Please accept them."

As he spoke, he asked Mingyue to bring up the incense burner with peony green leaves.

"What a nice smell! It contains spices such as golden branches and jade faces, and pinellia." Gu Yunru could tell the ingredients used in it at the first sniff.

"Sister, you are really smart." Xie Bingyan looked at her politely. Gu Yunru pursed her lips and smiled, "Then I will accept this small gift from my sister. Since this is our first meeting, I also have something to give you."

After saying that, she winked at Qingshuang, and she took out an exquisite wooden box. When she opened it, she saw a pair of jadeite and glass bracelets inside.

"Sister, such a precious thing, I can't accept it." Xie Bingyan looked at the jadeite jade and glass bracelet. The color was bright and clear, as if it was something only the Queen Mother would have.

This was exactly the reward bestowed by the Queen Mother on Gu Yunru, and Gu Yunru used it as a favor.

"I have a lot of these, just accept it." Gu Yunru walked up to her casually and put the jadeite jade and glass bracelet directly on her hand.

"Look, this jadeite and glass bracelet suits you so well!" Gu Yunru looked at her beautiful face and devilish figure, and realized that she was indeed a first-class beauty.

"Then I will accept your kindness, sister."

"Well, don't be polite to me." Gu Yunru pursed her lips and smiled. Xie Bingyan left for the time being, and Qingshuang came up from behind her and asked in confusion: "Princess, why did you give her the gift given to you by the Queen Mother?"

"We'll see each other every day in the future, so it's okay to reward you with some gifts." Gu Yunru sat on the couch and sipped tea, his eyes moving.

That night, Xie Bingyan made a bowl of barley soup and came to the study to visit Rong Zhen. Gu Yunru had also prepared the medicine and was about to deliver it to him personally, but when she saw another woman inside, she stopped in her tracks.

"Your Majesty, it's so late, you should go to bed early."

Xie Bingyan showed a gentle smile, but Rong Zhen looked at Zhe Wen tirelessly. He noticed the bowl of barley soup she made and smiled faintly.

"You did this?"

"Well, I made it specially for Your Majesty. I don't know if it suits Your Majesty's taste." Xie Bingyan lowered her eyelids pretending to be shy.

Rong Zhen looked at the delicious barley soup and swallowed it in big gulps without hesitation.
