"Shufei has put all the blame on you, but you want me to help her clear her name. What are you thinking?" Gu Yunru didn't quite understand what Zi Luo was thinking.

"The Queen only wants to use this trick to make me show up. She doesn't really want to shift the blame to me. This is the code that the Queen gave me for help. Outsiders will not understand."

Gu Yunru suddenly realized that this was also a way for Concubine Shu to protect herself and could delay some time.

"So you plan to kidnap Qingxing to threaten me and clear Concubine Shu's name, right?"

"Smart, you never get tired talking to the princess." Zi Luo looked at her admiringly. Gu Yunru snorted.

"Then you have to let me leave here first, right?"

"That's easy to handle." Zi Luo sent her away from this place. Gu Yunru was blindfolded the whole time and couldn't see the road clearly. If she had known earlier, she should have learned some self-defense skills from Rong Zhen, and she would not have been taken away by her so easily.

Thinking of Rong Zhen's solemn promise to her that she would not meet any bad people, she couldn't help but sneer.

Qingfeng and the Yulin Army finally saw Gu Yunru on the street, and immediately surrounded her and asked worriedly: "Princess, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Gu Yunru returned to the mansion with an expressionless face. Qingfeng frowned, feeling that the princess's expression was a little strange.

After Rong Zhen learned that Gu Yunru had returned, he quickly rushed to Ginkgo Garden and found that there was no one behind her, so he thought she must have returned alone. He hurried to her, grabbed her wrist and asked, "Where did you go last night?"

"You're hurting me, let go!" Gu Yunru said with a frown as she pushed his hand away. Rong Zhen then realized that he might have used too much force just now.

"Now can you tell me where you went last night?"

Rong Zhen was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night, but she suddenly appeared as if nothing had happened. Of course, he was a little annoyed. Gu Yunru raised her big watery eyes and looked at him and said, "I didn't go anywhere. I was just nearby. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You won't be so lucky next time if you stay out all night." Rong Zhen saw some marks of ropes on her wrists and realized that she must have encountered something last night, but she just refused to tell him.

"What do you think I want to do? You're so unreasonable. I don't want to talk to you anymore." Gu Yunru knew that the two of them would start arguing again after a few words. She was so tired that she didn't sleep well all night, so she quickly pushed him away.

"Let's go quickly. I want to continue sleeping." Gu Yunru muttered depressedly and pushed him to the door.

Rong Zhen was ruthlessly pushed to the door by her. He stopped and was about to knock on the door to go in and have a good talk with her, but the words were choked in his throat and he couldn't say anything.

Qingfeng came up behind him and whispered, "Prince, the food in the kitchen is ready."

He had asked someone to prepare a feast for her, hoping to welcome her back home, but he messed it up again, and Rong Zhen was very upset and regretful.

"Prince, why don't you invite the princess to join us?" Qingfeng asked hesitantly.

"No need." Rong Zhen said indifferently and left Ginkgo Garden.

Gu Yunru sat on the bed, thinking about how she could enter the palace openly. Rong Zhen did not dare to have any objection. Suddenly, he had an idea and called Qingshuang, asking her to send some Baicao Frost to the Empress Dowager's palace.

The scene changed, and the Queen Mother looked at the herb frost, which had a sweet and fragrant smell with a light grass scent. She took a sip with a look of enjoyment.

"Madam Hua, I haven't seen Yunru for a while. When I saw the herb cream she sent me, I suddenly thought of her."

Aunt Hua beside him smiled brightly, walked forward and leaned forward and said, "If the Queen Mother misses you, you can summon the Princess to the palace."

"Okay, then I will let her enter the palace."

An imperial decree was delivered to the palace. After Rong Zhen learned the news, he looked at the chief eunuch in front of him, then looked at Gu Yunru behind him without saying a word. He saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if everything was expected.

"Your Majesty, please don't be reluctant to let your princess go. I will personally send your princess back home in a few days."

The old eunuch in the lead saw the reluctance in the prince's eyes at a glance, so he walked up and said a few teasing words.

"As long as she doesn't cause trouble in the palace, I will be happy."

Rong Zhen knew Gu Yunru's personality very well. If he didn't take down all the tiles in the palace, he was afraid that he would not be able to do what she wanted.

"Don't worry, I will never embarrass His Majesty." Gu Yunru looked at him and hummed a few times, then followed the eunuch into the palace.

The carriage bumped along the way and finally arrived near Xuanwu Gate. When Xiaodengzi learned that Gu Yunru had entered the palace, he immediately brought his servants to greet him.

"Meet the princess."

This time, I could finally call her "Princess" with full legitimacy.

Xiao Dengzi was happy in his heart, and the joy in the corners of his eyes was clearly revealed.

"All of you, get up." Gu Yunru didn't want to see people groveling and bowing. She thought that even Aunt Hua came to greet them in person.

"Princess, the Queen Mother has been waiting for you for a long time."

Aunt Hua showed her signature kind smile and led her into the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen Mother." Gu Yunru looked bright-eyed and bowed to her.

"Get up quickly. I haven't seen you for a long time." The Queen Mother waved at her. Gu Yunru walked to her side with lotus steps, looked at her with a smile and said, "Your Majesty looks really good recently."

"I am old and ugly, how can I compare with you young people?"

"Empress Dowager, please don't say that." Gu Yunru pursed her lips and smiled, and specially brought a newly developed set of skin care products to the Empress Dowager's palace.

"I've been using the Herb Cream you made for a few days and found that my skin has become much smoother. You are really clever and skillful." The empress dowager patted her hands with great joy in her eyes. Gu Yunru lowered her head shyly with a faint smile on her lips.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, thank you for your praise..."

"How are you getting along with Concubine Xie in the palace?" The Queen Mother expressed concern about Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen's life after marriage.

"Everything is fine."

Gu Yunru came to the palace, thinking that she could relax for a few days without having to deal with trivial matters in the mansion.

"If you have any difficulties, you may ask me. I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice."

"Thank you, Queen Mother..."

Late at night, Gu Yunru returned to the courtyard, which was only fifty steps away from the empress dowager's bedroom.

The Queen Mother liked to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, and Gu Yunru was good at understanding Buddhist scriptures, so the two naturally got along well.

However, when she came to the palace, she had more important things to do.

The next day, Gu Yunru went for a walk in the back garden and saw a palace maid scolding a eunuch. She stopped out of curiosity.

"You can't even do such a small thing!"

The palace maid scolded him, but the eunuch just kept his head down and did not resist.

Gu Yunru observed the eunuch's appearance and felt that he looked familiar. He was a little hunchbacked, and his hat covered his eyes, but a pale purple scar could be seen on his face.
