Gu Yunru frowned and looked at him, with her usual indifference on her face.
Gu Junyao put down the teacup in her hand and said to Ah Chou, "Just show it to your sister."
Ah Chou seemed to listen to Gu Junyao very much, and he would do whatever Gu Junyao told him to do.
The relationship between the two people is not just that of master and servant. Gu Yunru saw their expressions and waited for Achou to stretch out his hand obediently.
The lines on Achou's palms are very complicated, but it can be clearly seen that the calluses on his hands are very deep, which should be the marks left by years of martial arts practice or doing rough work. His life experience is indeed puzzling, and even Cheng Shaoyuan can't find out his background.
I'm afraid even Gu Junyao doesn't know where he came from. If such a mysterious master is by Gu Junyao's side, it would be very easy for him to do things for her...
This thought lingered in his mind for a while, and then Gu Yunru retracted his gaze and raised the corners of his lips towards Gu Junyao, "Thank you, sister, but I really admire you as a servant. I wonder if I can borrow you for two days and let you do some odd jobs for me!"
"There are so many eunuchs in the palace, why did you choose Achou?" Gu Junyao asked in confusion, and also noticed Gu Yunru's suspicion of Achou.
I thought the matter of Concubine Shu was over, but the people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice are still investigating the matter in the group. If she doesn't find someone to take the blame now, I'm afraid that sooner or later the investigation will find out about her.
"Because she is my sister's, I feel at ease. Don't you think I would agree to her request?"
Gu Yunru began to exert invisible pressure on her. Gu Junyao rolled her eyes and had no expression on her face. She had no choice but to agree to her request. Ah Chou obediently went with her.
She returned to the courtyard and found that Cheng Shaoyuan had been waiting for her for a long time. She glanced at Ah Chou behind her and said, "Go wait for me under the banyan tree."
Achou is a quiet person who doesn't like to talk. He has a cold expression and likes to lower his head when wearing a hat, so it is difficult to notice the marks on his face.
Cheng Shaoyuan folded his hands behind his back and watched Gu Yunru walking towards him.
His long, jet-black hair, like clouds and smoke, was tied up with just a wooden hairpin, and his face was solemn.
"That man?"
"You forgot that he was the one who brought my second sister back to the city. Didn't you say that this man's identity was suspicious?"
Gu Yunru's dark pupils were shining brightly. Cheng Shaoyuan's expression gradually became serious as he said to her, "When I was preparing to send Concubine Shu to the nunnery that day, I ran into a suspicious man and was unfortunately stabbed in the arm. Go and see if there are any scars."
The two looked at each other, Gu Yunru took a deep breath and nodded, then he approached Ah Chou, and while he was not paying attention, he rolled up the sleeve of his arm and found that he was indeed injured there, but it had been bandaged with cloth.
"How did you do this?" Gu Yunru raised his eyes and asked.
"I accidentally cut my arm while chopping wood and a piece of flesh fell off." Ah Chou's eyes were calm and composed, as if he was telling about something that could not be any smaller. There were faint traces of blood seeping out of the gauze.
"Let me help you re-bandage it. Look, the cloth has been stained red." Gu Yunru raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a warm smile. He pushed him to sit down at the stone table. Cheng Shaoyuan was also behind him, staring at his arm intently.
Ah Chou did not resist, and his expression did not change at all. He just sat there quietly.
Gu Yunru gently took off the gauze, but found that a large piece of flesh had indeed been cut off. If it was really the case that Ah Chou said that he was chopped by an axe, it was very likely. He could vaguely see the white bones, and the scene was bloody and horrible. After applying some medicine and bandaging him, Ah Chou thanked him and prepared to leave.
"This Achou..." Gu Yunru suddenly had a very wrong thought.
"how?"
Cheng Shaoyuan had been observing carefully from the side, but did not find any flaws.
"I can't tell what's wrong, but I always feel something is wrong." Gu Yunru seemed to be talking to herself, but this doubt raised a question mark in her mind.
These past few days she has been carefully observing Achou's every move, but his behavior did not show any loopholes.
At the same time, Gu Baolin was conferred the title of Jun Guiren.
The concubines were busy congratulating her, and Gu Yunru also presented a series of treasures to congratulate her good sister.
Looking at the smiling faces of the people, only a few of them were sincere. The friendship among the women in the palace was just like this. Gu Yunru was bored and drank a few more sips of tea.
After everyone left, Gu Junyao looked at Gu Yunru, who had said nothing, with a lively look on her face as she walked forward, the corners of her lips slightly raised, revealing a charming smile.
"What's wrong, sister? Hasn't Achou taken good care of you these days?" Gu Junyao looked at her steadily with her watery eyes, without any unnecessary emotions.

"It's nothing. This Ah Chou is indeed a very loyal servant. Sister, you must keep a close eye on him and don't let him do anything stupid."
"Sister, what are you talking about?"
Gu Junyao smiled and kept joking with her. After they exchanged greetings for a while, Gu Yunru went out first.
After seeing the person walk away, Gu Junyao's expression changed instantly, and she sat on the phoenix couch with a lazy look on her face. Lan'er moved all those things behind the screen, walked to her side and said: "Congratulations, congratulations, the emperor now values you more and more."
Gu Junyao looked thoughtful and turned to look at her, "A Chou hasn't revealed anything in the past few days, right?"
Lan Er shook her head and said cautiously, "Don't worry, Miss. Ah Chou is a careful person and won't reveal any clues."
"That's good. Now I just hope to get pregnant with a dragon fetus and consolidate my position."
"Miss, this is a prescription I asked for from an old Chinese doctor. It can help you take care of your body. Maybe you will get pregnant soon."
Lan'er secretly placed the prescription from her sleeve in front of her, and a hint of doubt flashed in Gu Junyao's beautiful eyes.
"Does this really work?" Gu Junyao has never believed in what some Chinese medicine practitioners say, but she has been in the palace for more than half a year, so she must take care of her body as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, my queen. I heard that several ordinary people have become pregnant by following this prescription." Lan'er said seriously. She confirmed this after making inquiries from many sources.
"Okay then. I will take it according to this prescription."
At this moment, Concubine Qian, who lived in a palace, also came in to congratulate her. Concubine Qian had rarely appeared in public recently, but a few months ago, she was favored by the emperor because of Gu Junyao.
