Seeing the eunuch running away, Gu Yunru rolled up his sleeves and chased after him without saying a word.

The eunuch ran wildly all the way, and no one knew which courtyard he ran to. Gu Yunru was panting, and did not see the eunuch. She heard footsteps behind her and thought he was ambushing her. She suddenly turned her head and was startled by the small stool behind her.

"Princess, why are you here?" Xiaodengzi looked at Gu Yunru, who was gasping for breath, with a confused look on his face, his ears turned red.

"Why are you here? By the way, what place is this?" Gu Yunru looked at the corners of the walls around her, which were all made of red bricks and tiles. The scenery of every road in the palace was similar, except that there were relatively few people here.

"This is Haitang Pavilion, a place for servants to rest and have fun. However, the palace is busy today, and no one dares to slack off here."

The little stool laughed, and Gu Yunru narrowed her eyes and came to a conclusion. It seemed that the little stool was slacking off here and was caught by her.

"I see. You are slacking off here. I just happened to see you, right?" Gu Yunru narrowed his eyes and approached him step by step. Xiaodengzi waved his hands fearfully and said, "I dare not be lazy. I still have to deliver the inkstone to the emperor."

"Then have you ever seen an extremely ugly eunuch with a hunched back and seemingly inconvenient legs and feet, but very fast when he runs." Gu Yunru described to him the suspicious eunuch she had just seen, who seemed to have lost his soul when he saw her.

"Princess, I don't think I've seen this kind of description before. However, there are many eunuchs in the palace, and some old eunuchs may not be able to remember so many people. May I ask where did you see it just now?"

Xiao Dengzi asked curiously. Gu Yunru thought carefully and saw that he was scolded by a palace maid. She didn't remember the appearance of that palace maid very clearly. She racked her brains but couldn't figure out what the palace maid looked like.

"Oh... forget it, I don't want to think too much about it!" Gu Yunru shook his head, looked at the small stool in front of him and said, "Please keep an eye out for me. If you find a purple birthmark on your face, tell me."

"yes."

All the way back to her residence, Gu Yunru always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind. Every time she reacted, the eyes disappeared, which was very strange.

Yanxi Palace.

Lan'er brought the bird's nest loquat porridge to Gu Junyao, and said with a slight smile: "Baolin, drink some loquat porridge, it's good for your throat."

"Well, I heard that my sister entered the palace today?"

"Yes, she entered the palace last night and stayed in the Queen Mother's palace. The Queen Mother seemed to like her very much." Lan'er stood aside. Gu Junyao looked better recently. She looked at Lan'er beside her and said, "Why do you think my sister came to the palace this time?"

"I am a stupid servant, please give me some advice."

Lan'er lowered her head in shame.

"Lan'er, you are not stupid at all. She came here just to show off her ability to investigate the case of Concubine Shu. We must step up our efforts over there and not let anyone get suspicious."

"yes."

Gu Yunru strolled in the back garden for a whole day, looking at the clusters of flowers, but he felt a sense of resentment in his heart that he could not release. The last time he saw the eunuch, he disappeared very quickly, and he did not find a similar palace maid.

There are so many palace maids in this palace, some are fat and some are thin, and they all look the same. If you lose them in the crowd, you will quickly forget them.

Gu Yunru patted his forehead, but unexpectedly bumped into a man in front of him. He had broad shoulders, a tall and slender figure, a handsome appearance, and a pair of evil and charming phoenix eyes that were unforgettable.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now..." Gu Yunru lowered her head in shame, then looked up at him. This man was unfamiliar to her. He was dressed in rich clothes, and the golden jade on his waist was something only the royal family had.

"It's okay. I just hope you don't hurt the girl." Xie Changming smiled and looked at Gu Yunru in front of him. Gu Yunru looked into his deep eyes, as if she was about to be sucked in. She quickly turned her gaze away as if it was a bottomless pit.

"Is the girl looking for something?"

Xie Changming saw her looking around not far away, as if someone urgent was missing.

"No, no, I was just looking at the flowers in the back garden. They are pretty."

Gu Yunru smiled awkwardly. She even believed the lie she told.

"I am also feeling very bored. I wonder if you are free to walk around with me."

"Ah... you should have a eunuch to guide you. Besides, looking at your appearance, I can tell that you come to the palace often." Gu Yunru would not be fooled by him.

"How did the girl know that I often go to the palace?"

"I know it from the way you look so familiar with it." Gu Yunru snorted at him.

"I still have the key with me, so I won't chat with you anymore, we'll see each other some other day if we have the chance." Gu Yunru was still busy looking for clues, so she said goodbye to him first.

Xie Changming looked at Gu Yunru's back, narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, and then looked away with interest.

"Sir, do you want to check the identity of that woman?" The follower behind him saw what the young master was thinking at a glance.

"No need for that. We will meet if we are destined to do so." Xie Changming resonated with this sentence.

At this time, strange things happened in Concubine Shu's palace. Concubine Shu suddenly went crazy and bit everyone she saw. She even bit off one of Zi Yan's ears. Seeing her so horrible, the emperor had to send people to tie her up.

Gu Yunru followed the crowd into the hall and found that many places were stained with blood. Zi Yan was kneeling beside her crying, and the ear that was bitten off was still bandaged.

Since this place is a forbidden area in the palace, many people can only watch from outside. When Xiaodengzi saw Gu Yunru coming in, he stepped forward anxiously and said, "Auntie, such an unlucky place is not a place you can come to. You are a daughter of gold."

"I have to come in and take a look at this worth a million dollars." Gu Yunru walked in arrogance, ignoring the small stool blocking his way. Not far away, Zi Yan was crying and sobbing, looking so pitiful. Gu Yunru walked up to her, bent down, looked at her and said, "Let me take a look!"

Gu Yunru asked someone to find some herbs and bandage her wound.

Seeing that Zi Yan had finally calmed down, Gu Yunru took the opportunity to ask, "What happened?"

"Shufei...Shufei she..." Zi Yan sobbed, her face filled with panic and fear when she thought of what happened this morning.

"I don't know why, but after the Empress drank a bowl of yam porridge, her temperament suddenly changed." Zi Yan recalled. She was fine before, although she occasionally felt chest tightness and dizziness in the past few days, but the imperial physician didn't think it was serious and just ignored it after prescribing a few medicines. But today she suddenly seemed like a different person.

"The queen's expression has become less like that of a human and more like that of a dog..."
