Prince Zhao's Palace.
Imperial Doctor Li was taking Rong Zhen's pulse, his brows raised and lowered, and his expression seemed a little heavy.
"Just tell me what's going on."
Rong Zhen has fought on the battlefield for many years and doesn't believe that such a small poison will deter him.
"Your Majesty, although the toxins left in your body will not endanger your life, but..."
"I did it on purpose. I just wanted to see if that girl would ignore me."
...Doctor Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He thought that his medical skills were limited. It seems that this young lady of the Gu family really has some tricks.
"Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of the Gu family is here!"
Qingfeng reported at the door, Rong Zhen's eyes lit up, then returned to his usual solemn and indifferent expression.
"You all step back first."
"yes."
Gu Yunru walked all the way to the main courtyard, and seeing Rong Zhen sitting upright, she showed a happy expression and strode up to him.
"I pay my respects to the prince."
Rong Zhen slowly opened his eyes and looked at her slightly smug face with scrutiny.
"This is the first time I see you saluting me. Why are you here today?"
"I came to see how the prince is recovering."
Gu Yunru thought to himself: How can I leave with peace of mind if I don’t cure your broken body?
As soon as he finished speaking, he took his pulse directly.
The heart rate was steady and there didn't seem to be any major symptoms.
"Today I brought a lot of medicinal herbs, including mung beans, talc, white aconite root, rosin, Kochia scoparia, cicada shells, Hedyotis diffusa, and Smilax glabra, to make a medicinal bath for you."
Rong Zhen looked at her in confusion and asked, "Can you detoxify like this?"
"Of course, this is a prescription I created myself. I'm giving it to you for free, it's a bargain for you."
Gu Yunru asked someone to prepare the medicinal bath and called two maids to serve him. Before taking the medicinal bath, he had to give him a relaxing skin massage.
"Just lie down, no need to ask any other questions."
Gu Yunru let him lie on the smooth jade and put some essential oil on his hands. Gu Yunru could feel the tension in his muscles and patted his shoulder and said, "Relax a little."
Gu Yunru was not shy yet, but he became nervous. There was a row of maids standing at the door. They had never helped the prince to bathe, and they did not expect that this young lady would be so open-minded that she would take off the prince's clothes and have skin contact with him in public.
Qingyu was standing aside, holding several medicine bags of different sizes in his hands, and he was waiting. He bit his lips tightly as he watched Gu Yunru slowly put her hand on his back.
Gu Yunru knew that Rong Zhen didn't like being served by so many people, so she placed a large screen in front of the jade slab and began to take off his clothes.
"What are you doing?"
"Help you take off your clothes."
"I can do it myself."
"Of course I know you can. Just show your back. You don't need to take off all your clothes."
Rong Zhen felt a little embarrassed and did as he was told, revealing his broad and strong back with distinct muscle lines. He was indeed a man who had led troops in battles. Just touching his muscles was enough to arouse people's imagination.
"What did you put on my back?"
Rong Zhen felt a cool touch on his back, which made his scalp tingle, but at the same time felt comfortable.
"The vegetable oil I make is extracted from some traditional Chinese medicine plants. Don't worry, it's not harmful to your skin."
After Gu Yunru finished speaking, she crossed her fingers and began to knead his back. This kind of massage technique was something that others could not enjoy even if they paid money. Rong Zhen's face was tense the whole time, and the feeling of pain and pleasure was fully reflected on his face.
"If you feel pain, just scream out. That's a normal reaction."
"What a joke! I have been hit by so many swords and knives, but I never cried out."
Rong Zhen clenched his teeth, beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping from his forehead, while Qingyu squatted in front of him and wiped his tears.
Gu Yunru touched his strong arms, humming a little tune, and found that there were indeed many wounds on his back, but they had all formed scars and had merged into his muscles.
After about half an incense stick of time, Gu Yunru was exhausted. Rong Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that this girl's hand strength was so strong.
"It's done, you can go take a medicinal bath."

Gu Yunru loosened her wrists and stretched her muscles. The maids left. Rong Zhen felt relaxed all over and breathed a long sigh of relief. He had never felt so comfortable in all these years.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Gu Yunru just reacted, but she didn't expect Rong Zhen to take off all his clothes in front of her, so she quickly turned her head away.
"Of course you will help me bathe. You have even seen my body, why are you still shy?"
Rong Zhen found the woman's shy expression interesting, so he teased her verbally several times.
"You, I was just giving you a massage. If you want to take a hot spring bath, just jump in. There are others to serve you. I'll go back first."
Gu Yunru covered her eyes with one hand and touched the screen randomly, wanting to leave, but unexpectedly touched his broad chest. It didn't matter that she took a step back in horror, but unexpectedly fell into the bath.
Rong Zhen jumped down and rescued Gu Yunru, who was not good at swimming.
"Are you so eager to take a bath with me?"
Rong Zhen's extremely magnetic voice rang in her ears. Gu Yunru's heart was beating violently, almost missing a beat, and she quickly pushed his body away.
"I want to go out, I want to go out!" Gu Yunru slapped the water surface wildly, and the soup choked her nose. She forgot to straighten her legs because of nervousness. Rong Zhen stood aside and looked down at her.
Gu Yunru had been doing acupuncture for a long time before she realized that her feet could have touched the ground earlier, so she quickly wiped the water off her face.
Rong Zhen looked at her fleeing figure, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Back at the Gu Mansion, Gu Yunru was sitting on a chair, panting. Qingxing changed her into clean clothes, and her fair little face was wrinkled.
"Miss, didn't you go to see the prince? Why are you back like this?"
"Don't mention it. That guy has mental problems. I never want to see him again."
Gu Yunru held her aching head and thought that no one here was normal. She had to leave.
Just as he was thinking of this, footsteps were suddenly heard at the door, and Mrs. Gu and a group of servants and maids gathered at the door.
"Yunru, your mother is here to see you."
Gu Yunru opened the door and saw Madam Gu rushing in with a group of people in a threatening manner. If one didn't know better, one would think that they were going to raze her place to the ground.
"Yunru, you are going to marry into the palace soon, so I specially invited a magician to pray for you. I hope that you can bring honor to your family and serve the prince well in the future."
At some point, a group of young monks surrounded the place, clearly sending people to keep an eye on her. She then looked at Su who was standing not far away, and seeing her slightly guilty look, she understood everything.
