Before Gu Yunru could touch the red tasseled spear, she was interrupted by his cold rebuke.

I won’t touch it, don’t touch it, do you think I care? “Okay, I won’t touch it, I won’t touch it. I’m telling you, do you also have a hobby of collecting antiques?”

There was also a huge shelf on the left. There were no books on it, but many ancient utensils and celadon bottles. The dust on them must have weighed several kilograms. Gu Yunru pinched her nose and waved her sleeves with a look of disgust.

Rong Zhen had gotten off the bed at some point and stood behind her like a ghost.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Gu Yunru's eyes suddenly sank as she looked at him, staring straight at an oval bottle with dragon carvings on the shelf. The pattern was simple and warm, and it could be called a magical treasure, but his next move surprised Gu Yunru.

Rong Zhen took the bottle and smashed it to the ground. A raging rage was brewing in his cold eyes, as if it was about to devour people.

Maybe it was because of his anger, but Rong Zhen vomited blood, his body swayed, and he almost fell down.

Gu Yunru prescribed him some medicine and asked Qingfeng to take care of him personally. She had already wrapped the broken pieces of the bottle in cloth and brought them to the backyard.

What hatred does Pingzi have against him?

Gu Yunru thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out. She thought that no one in the mansion knew the secret of the bottle.

She planned to return home with the fragments, but she was unexpectedly humiliated by Gu Junyao and her sister, who blocked her at the door and refused to let her in.

"Sister, why did you come back? You will be entering the palace soon, so you should stay by the prince's side to take care of him. Besides, the incident between you two has caused a lot of trouble in the city... Hey, don't you need me to explain it in detail, right?"

Gu Yunru was like a mute eating coptis, unable to express her pain, but the gleam in her eyes was not to be underestimated.

"I came back on the orders of the prince, but you two stopped me from entering. Do you believe I will report you to my father?"

Gu Junyao's face turned red with anger. She finally seized the opportunity to humiliate her severely, but she didn't expect that she was also a materialistic person. She took the opportunity to climb up the social ladder and looked down on the two sisters more and more. If she continued like this, wouldn't her future life be very difficult?

"Big sister, my sister and I were just joking with you. Big sister, the prime minister is very tolerant and shouldn't bother with his sisters, right?"

Gu Junyue is a person who speaks one thing to one person and another thing to another person.

"Of course I won't argue with an idiot. Get out of the way. Can you take responsibility for delaying the important work?"

"You! Gu Yunru!"

Gu Junyao clenched her fists tightly. She couldn't stand Gu Yunru's cold words. The anger on her face grew stronger. Looking at her back as she walked into the mansion in a leisurely manner, she felt so angry that her heart was beating fast.

"Sister, she won't have a good life for many days. As long as she marries into Prince Zhao's mansion, she might get into an accident any day."

Gu Junyue whispered in her ear, and Gu Junyao said calmly, "I'm just waiting for that day!"

"Greetings to my father and mother. I am sorry for causing them to worry. It is my daughter's fault."

"Oh, Yunru is back, come sit down quickly. I heard that you were not feeling well a few days ago, but now you are finally well. Why don't you see His Royal Highness Prince Zhao?"

Madam Gu peered into the outer room but could not find any trace of His Royal Highness Prince Zhao.

Gu Yunru took a deep breath and explained what happened in the past few days. Then she showed a painful and weak expression and said, "My daughter came back this time to apologize."

When Mr. Gu heard this, he asked seriously, "What's going on?"

Gu Yunru guessed that Mr. Gu had been an official in the court for many years and should know the origin of the vase to some extent, so she simply put on a show in front of the two of them and said with a bitter face: "My daughter accidentally broke the porcelain vase that Prince Zhao loved the most. I was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so I had to take the fragments back home. I would like to ask Dad to think of a way to restore this porcelain vase?"

Old Master Gu was horrified when he heard this. He quickly opened the bundle, looked at the patterns on the fragments, and his jaw and double chin began to tremble as he shook his head desperately.

"This... this... this is a porcelain vase from the royal family, one of a kind in the world, and you actually broke it!"

"Yes, I have thought of this. If the prince investigates, it will be a serious crime that will implicate all nine generations of my clan. So I would like to ask Dad to find a solution."

Mrs. Gu could no longer control her temper and her face turned pale instantly.

"You...you damn girl, are you going to kill my whole family?"

"Father and mother, please be patient. This is my daughter's fault. I will take full responsibility. I wonder how much you know about this bottle. Is it possible to recover it?"

"Restore? Even if there are cracks after restoration, His Royal Highness Prince Zhao will still find them."

"Don't worry, his eyesight isn't very good. Father, let me take care of the bottle. I just don't know how much you know about it?"

Gu Yunru kept asking questions until her lips were worn out, and finally she heard what Mr. Gu had to say.

It turns out that this bottle contains a royal secret. The Emperor and Prince Zhao were raised by the Queen Mother, but there have always been rumors that Rong Zhen is the Queen Mother's illegitimate son with someone else outside the palace.

This can be traced back to twenty years ago, when the late emperor suspected the empress dowager's betrayal and performed a blood test to recognize the relationship in public. Later, people in the palace spread rumors that Rong Zhen had not been favored by the late emperor since he was a child. The emperor became more and more indifferent to him and sent him directly to the border. Later, Rong Zhen began to make outstanding military achievements just to gain the favor of his father, but he did not expect that the emperor would pass away. Rong Zhen left for a while and returned to Beijing. Da Qi had already taken on a brand new look.

The current emperor and Rong Zhen have a good relationship, but Rong Zhen and the empress dowager have a grudge and have not even seen each other for several years. The bottle was also given to Rong Zhen by the empress dowager, but some people said that the bottle was a token of love between an outsider and the empress dowager. The rumors began to spread more and more outrageously...

After hearing this, Gu Yunru shook her head repeatedly. She didn't expect there would be such a piece of gossip.

Putting aside the question of whether the Queen Mother cheated on the late Emperor, Gu Yunru felt that Rong Zhen's violent temper was closely related to his lack of trust from others since childhood.

"Yunru, maybe someone can fix this bottle."

"Who?"

Gu Yunru's eyes lit up. She had received news about the Queen Mother's old lover Chu Sheng. However, this old lover had left the capital and lived an anonymous life. How easy would it be to find him? The porcelain made by this old lover was first-class. Could it be that this old lover was the knot in his heart? But what if... Rong Zhen was really the illegitimate child of the Queen Mother and the "old lover"... No, he couldn't dig any deeper. What if he dug a landmine and blew himself up? This matter had been settled for so many years, and he couldn't cause trouble again because of her.
