Ah Chou slowly turned around, and the two masters just stared at each other.

"How about we have a competition here?"

Qingfeng is very interested in Achou. He learns from Gu Yunru that Achou is a mysterious man with no identity but excellent martial arts skills, so he has always wanted to fight with him and find out more about him.

Maybe he could find some clues. Ah Chou seemed to have no intention of fighting and just wanted to go back to the vicinity of Gu's house to investigate and bring the murderer to justice.

"I'm sorry, but I have something important to attend to. I'm afraid I can't compete with you."

As Achou was about to leave, Qingfeng chased him relentlessly, using Qinggong to catch up with him. He pulled his ankle hard and took off one of his boots.

The two men looked at each other, and Ah Chou took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve, with a sharp light in his eyes.

A group of black sparrows were startled from the treetops. Qingfeng fought with them for a few times, but found that the other party had no intention of attacking. Such a test was really meaningless.

Seeing that the knife was already stabbing into his chest, if he was pushed forward just a little more, he might fall off the treetop, but Ah Chou looked at him calmly. His ugly face was scary, but his narrow and long phoenix eyes were very powerful.

"Why don't you hide?"

Qingfeng knew that his kung fu was extremely profound, and he hadn't tested even half of his abilities yet, and yet he was just letting himself be slaughtered.

"I know you won't kill me."

Ah Chou's attitude was extremely cold and arrogant, but he had the capital to be cold and arrogant. Qingfeng slowly retracted his sword and let him go. Ah Chou hid in the woods.

Qingfeng returned to the palace and reported to Rong Zhen everything that had just happened.

"You mean to say that Ah Chou is going to investigate the murder case of the Gu family?"

"That should be the case. He is heading to the Gu family, and he only listens to the orders of Jun Guiren. Jun Guiren is so powerful in the palace, and Ah Chou also has half the credit for that."

"Keep following him. Wherever he goes, you go. By the way, Zijun will be back soon. It would be better if you can find the flaws with Zijun."

"Yes." Qingfeng received the order and retreated. The viciousness in Rong Zhen's eyes disappeared in an instant. Gu Yunru stood straight in front of him, holding a food box in her hand, and said to him: "The Queen Mother asked me to come and see you. This is the pineapple cake I made. Try it."

After not seeing Rong Zhen for a few days, he seemed to have grown taller. I don’t know if it was an illusion. Gu Yunru put her heart on the table. Seeing that he didn’t seem touched, she said, “This is made with your favorite kidney beans, and a little plum juice. It’s sweet and sour. Have a taste.”

Gu Yun spoke in a gentle voice, but he didn't react at all.

She walked up to him and glared at him, "I'm talking to you, are you hearing me?"

"I heard you. Sit down and use it together."

Rong Zhen's gentle attitude was rare, and Gu Yunru gladly accepted it. The two sat together and tasted the pineapple cake. Halfway through the meal, Gu Yunru asked about the lark.

"Why did you give me a lark for no reason? Are you telling me to stay in the cage and not go anywhere?"

The sight of the lark in the cage started to make him daydream. After hearing what she said, Rong Zhen almost choked on the pineapple paste. Fortunately, Gu Yunru handed him a cup of warm water in time.

He raised his pair of quiet and compelling eyes and asked, "Is this how you think of me?"

Gu Yunru stuck out her tongue. "It's not that I miss you so much, but I really don't understand what you did. You gave me a bird for no reason. If I don't know, I would think you wanted to lock me in a cage and not let me out. By the way, have you found Zi Luo?"

She blinked her eyes. Now Concubine Qian was much better, but she could not speak and her mind became a little dull and dazed.

No matter what you ask her, she knows nothing and she didn't see the person who fed her the medicine.

"No."

Rong Zhen spoke frankly, the pineapple paste had already made him full, so he happily put his hand down.

"How does it taste? You haven't commented yet."

Gu Yunru looked at him excitedly like a child waiting to be praised by her parents. This was her first time making pastries, and she had given him her beautiful first time, so she had to get some feedback.

"Do you have anything to ask of me?" Rong Zhen looked at Gu Yunru today, who suddenly became so attentive. As the saying goes, if someone is attentive to you without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

Gu Yunru pulled the corner of her mouth, "Okay, I want you to give me a token that allows me to enter and leave the palace freely."

“………”

Rong Zhen's expression became calm and the light in his eyes dimmed. No one knew what he was thinking about.

"I promise I will never get into trouble!" Gu Yunru raised his hands and swore seriously.

"Really." Gu Yunru blinked at him, and her eyes were as sincere as they could be.

"I'll think about it." Rong Zhen replied indifferently, and did not give her the token to enter and exit the palace.

"Tsk, so stingy!" At this moment, Gu Yunru felt like the lark that Rong Zhen gave her. She had no idea what was happening outside. Apart from playing with the bird every day, she would chat with Xiao Dengzi about family matters.

That afternoon, when I was about to go to the Yanxi Palace to see Concubine Qian, I accidentally learned that Concubine Jun was ill and had not gotten up yet.

"Lan'er!"

Gu Yunru saw Lan'er on the road with her head down and a look of panic on her face as she was about to enter the palace, so she called out to her. When Lan'er saw that it was Gu Yunru, she stood aside nervously, as if she was frozen.

"Where are you going in such a panic?" Gu Yunru looked at Lan'er curiously. She never looked so guilty when she saw her on other days. From the look in her eyes, he knew that she must be hiding something.

"Princess, I didn't see you just now. Please forgive me."

"Come on, you did it on purpose." Gu Yunru put his hands on his chest and circled in front of her. His bright eyes circled around her face and asked curiously, "What disease does your queen have? Has the imperial physician come to see her?"

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. Your Majesty just caught a cold because she was frightened that day. She is fine now."

As she looked at Lan'er and spoke, her eyes kept looking away, and it seemed that she was still hiding something.

"Well, I'll go with you to have a look. I'm bored anyway."

As Gu Yunru said this, she and Lan'er walked into the door together. Lan'er was about to stop them, but when she saw that she had already stepped one foot in, she sighed helplessly.

The emperor has ordered that the affairs of the Gu family must not be spread in the palace. Anyone who dares to say a word will have his tongue pulled out, and in serious cases, the family will be implicated. So everyone kept silent about this matter.

"Good sister, sister is here to see you." Gu Yunru would come to quarrel with her when she had nothing to do, but today, she saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, her face haggard, as if she had suffered a blow, and her eyes were dull.
