The wedding date was approaching, but Rong Zhen didn't seem to have changed at all. Gu Yunru thought of the last time Rong Zhen got angry, and she was still more or less afraid.

After being idle at home for two days, the wet nurse from the farm finally arrived at the Gu Mansion.

"Miss!"

"Nurse!"

Gu Yunru ran to the door with joy to greet the arrival of the wet nurse. The wet nurse was rather thin and looked to be about fifty years old. There were a few strands of silver hair around her ears, and she looked quite haggard and tired.

Fortunately, Mrs. Gu did not tease her and finally took the wet nurse over. Gu Yunru looked at the wet nurse with a smile on her face, but she didn't want her to discover the flaw.

"My lady, I heard that you are going to be the Princess of Zhao. This is a great blessing!"

Gu Yunru supported her and welcomed her into the house. When she mentioned Rong Zhen, she felt overwhelmed.

"Nanny, please stop talking. This is not a cheap marriage at all. They want me to be a scapegoat."

"What, a scapegoat?"

The wet nurse was a country girl with a simple mind and had no idea of ​​the plotting going on in the deep house.

"I'll tell you more about it later, nurse. You're tired too. I asked Qingxing to prepare a side room for you, as well as clothes and headwear. Go and have a look."

"Miss, I come from a poor family and cannot use such good things."

"This is the Gu Mansion. If we don't use it, it will go to waste. We can't let others look down on us."

"Ah... yes, yes."

Gu Yunru was sitting in the yard staring at the birds in a daze, and Qingxing came over trotting, panting.

"My lady, His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is here..."

"He's coming?"

"Yes, I am drinking tea and chatting with the master in the front hall."

Old Master Gu kept smiling because of the bottle incident, fearing that His Royal Highness Prince Zhao would bring up the matter.

"I understand. I'll go right away."

Gu Yunru calculated that the wedding was in two days. The poison in Rong Zhen's body had almost been eliminated, but she didn't know whether his psychological problem had become negative. She was crossing the garden and was about to go to the front hall when she heard a strange laugh.

"It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Zhao can't wait to marry you, sister. There are several boxes of gold, silver, treasures, and silks and satins placed at the door. I'm afraid you will enjoy endless blessings if you marry him!"

Gu Yunru looked at Gu Junyao's smug smile and couldn't help rolling her eyes. She didn't want to argue with her, but was blocked by Gu Junyue.

"Sister, why are you leaving so quickly? Could it be that... you can't wait to marry His Royal Highness Prince Zhao?"

"Do you know what it means to be a good dog and not get in the way?"

Gu Yunru looked lazy and leisurely as he looked at her, with a hint of sarcasm and mockery in his eyes.

"Hmph! Sister, you still have the heart to joke here. When you marry into Prince Zhao's mansion in the future, there will be people to teach you a lesson."

"Don't worry, I won't let you succeed."

Gu Yunru looked at the two sisters proudly. Just as he was about to walk past them, he saw a broad figure blocking his way.

“Your Majesty…”

The Gu Junyao sisters were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they quickly lowered their heads.

"You two are so bold. Do you think you can tell my woman what to do?"

Gu Junyao and Gu Junyue looked at each other in bewilderment. They trembled with fear and almost lost their balance.

"Prince, no, we have always respected my sister..."

"Yeah, yeah, we didn't..."

"I don't care if you have any or not, I just don't want to see you again in the future."

Rong Zhen's tone was emotionless, but equally intimidating.

Gu Junyao and her sister had already fled in fear. Gu Yunru looked away proudly, walked up to him seriously, and said, "I was just about to look for you. Just now I heard from my good sister that you have brought all the betrothal gifts. What do you mean?"

"Of course I will offer you a betrothal gift and marry you into my house."

Gu Yunru was so angry that she was speechless. After a long pause, she said angrily, "But you promised me that as long as I cured your illness, our engagement would be invalid."

"No one can cure my illness, but you should just stay by my side and serve me. I will ensure that you are safe."

"You! How can a prince go back on his word?"

Gu Yunru was so angry that her blood pressure rose. She had to persuade him with emotion and reason. She didn't want to give her best years of youth to this prince with an unpredictable temper.

"I did not go back on my word, but your medical skills were not good enough to cure my illness."

Gu Yunru narrowed her eyes. Was he questioning her professional level?

"Impossible! This is absolutely ridiculous!"

After Gu Yunru finished speaking, she took off the pearl and jade hairpin on her head. There was a mechanism inside with silver needles, which were specifically used to force out poisonous blood from people and could also detect what disease the person had.

Last time, Rong Zhen transferred the poisonous blood into his body in order to save her. Gu Yunru was very touched. But after checking, Gu Yunru found something wrong. The toxins in his body were not completely cleared out, and some toxins still remained in his body.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that Doctor Li is a very skilled doctor? After so many days, he still hasn't cleared the poison from you. Did you take the medicine I prescribed for you on time?"

Rong Zhen would never tell her that he did it on purpose. He had his own little thoughts, which was to keep her by his side.

"how?"

Gu Yunru was so angry that her mind was in a mess. Could this guy be targeting her? "Don't keep your word."

Gu Yunru turned around angrily.

"I'm doing this to protect you."

Gu Yunru was slightly surprised and turned her head, wishing she could stare a hole through him.

"Protect me? Now that you mentioned this, I remember that the people that night were obviously targeting you. If you really wanted to protect me, you should give up this engagement. Maybe I could live two more years."

Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen. His expression was quite indifferent, but there was a hint of hostility between his brows, as if he was thinking about something. Thinking of the black assassin that night, he knew their whereabouts very well. It was very likely that they were people around him, or they might have been lying in ambush for a long time.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Why don't you think about what I told you again."

Gu Yunru thought Rong Zhen was seriously considering this matter, but she didn't expect that his attitude was still firm.

"Be my woman, and I can protect you."

Before Gu Yunru could refute, Rong Zhen continued, "Prepare well in the next two days and don't think of anything crooked."

Rong Zhen's calm words were full of threats. He turned and left Gu Yunru's sight. Gu Yunru stared at his back with gritted teeth.
