"yes."

After Gu Yunru finished speaking, she waved her sleeves expressionlessly and walked into the house.

The wedding day was approaching, and Mrs. Gu was afraid that Gu Yunru would suddenly disappear, so she invited so many people to keep an eye on her. She thought that things would go smoothly until she married into the palace, but she didn't expect something to go wrong that night.

"What happened? How could I get smallpox?!"

Sister Gu Junyao followed her mother to Tinghua Garden, both wanting to see a good show.

Qing Xing closed the bed curtains, bowed to Madam Gu and said, "Madam, this disease is contagious, you must not get close to her. The young lady has a high fever and keeps coughing, and she can't stop having a runny nose. She looks horrible. We have already called a doctor, but even the doctor doesn't dare to get close. What should we do? The prince's wedding procession will arrive tomorrow."

"I saw her in good health during the day, how come she suddenly fell ill and got this disease? It's really bad luck!"

Madam Gu didn't believe it and took a step forward. Qing Xing spread her arms to block her, looking terrified. "Madam, please don't come close. I'm afraid that Miss's appearance will scare you."

"Get out of my way. Can't I just pay some attention to my daughter?"

Qingxing lowered her head and had to step aside.

The moment Mrs. Gu approached the bed, she was so frightened that she almost vomited on the spot. She saw that Gu Yunru's face was covered with pustules, her nose was constantly running, and the large and small red spots on her forehead were very creepy.

"What's going on? Hurry up and call some useful doctors to treat it!"

"yes."

Several servants called for a doctor. Gu Junyao's heart tightened. She pulled Madam Gu out of the door and said anxiously, "Such a mistake happened at the critical moment. Could it be that this bitch regretted her decision and didn't want to marry into the palace?"

"Don't worry, my dear daughter. She has to marry whether she wants to or not. At worst, she will wait until her illness is cured. Even if she dies, she will die in the palace."

Madam Gu narrowed her eyes.

I was eagerly waiting for the doctor, but I didn't expect that the person I was waiting for was His Royal Highness Prince Zhao.

"Hey, why is it His Royal Highness Prince Zhao? It's so late, why is His Royal Highness here?"

Madam Gu walked forward enthusiastically. This Prince Zhao was handsome and talented, but it was a pity that he had a violent temper. Otherwise, it would not be a loss for Jun Yao to marry him.

"I received the news, so I came to see if the person is dead."

Madam Gu's face turned pale. This prince's temper was really unpredictable and changeable.

"No...no, the doctor is treating him inside."

"I will go and take a look."

Rong Zhen didn't look directly at Mrs. Gu the whole time and went straight into the inner room.

"This servant has greeted the prince."

Qingxing saluted Rong Zhen, who looked at the bed with deep eyes and asked, "How is your young lady?"

"To answer your Highness, today the young lady drank the meat soup and jujube and longan porridge made by the nurse, and then she felt dizzy and nauseous. Now her face is disfigured..."

Qing Xing deliberately emphasized the last sentence. Rong Zhen touched the tip of his nose and walked to the bed. Sure enough, he saw her face covered with pus. It smelled so bad that people wanted to stay away from it.

"Qingfeng, go check the kitchenette to see if there's anything suspicious."

"yes."

Madam Gu stood at the door trembling with fear, looked at the servant behind her and asked, "What's going on? Why is His Highness here?"

"To answer Madam, someone may have secretly informed the prince, and I don't know about it."

Mrs. Gu was completely confused and had no idea what the little girl was going to do.

The two doctors took turns coming forward and finally came to a conclusion.

"My lady, your symptoms are very dangerous, like poisoning."

"Poisoned?"

Gu Junyao stood far away at the door and didn't dare to get too close to her. Hearing the word "poisoned" inevitably felt it was a bit absurd.

"Impossible. Has anything in the mansion been used to treat her badly?"

"Second Miss, the symptoms of the eldest lady are indeed poisoning."

The doctor gave Gu Yunru a few injections and her fever subsided.

There was a hint of cruelty in Rong Zhen's eyes as he looked at the servants trembling with fear at the door. Everyone was on high alert. Even those who had never done anything wrong would be frightened to death by the look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, my men found this."

Qingfeng presented something in a small cloth bag and when he opened it, he saw that it was tapioca flour.

Rong Zhen turned his feminine gaze towards Su, who fell to her knees on the ground with a thump.

"Madam, you must believe me. I did not do such a thing..."

Su was completely panicked, tears welling up in her eyes, trying to win everyone's trust.

Qing Xing wiped her tears, took a small bag of cassava flour, walked to the nurse and said, "Nanny, the young lady got into this situation today because she ate the meat soup you made, and this thing was found in the kitchen, who else could it be if not you?"

"No, it's unfair. Madam, you have to believe me. How could I harm the eldest lady?"

Su looked at Mrs. Gu for help. Mrs. Gu was extremely confused. It was impossible for Su to do such a bold thing. What was going on?

"It must be you. It's you who wants to harm the young lady."

Madam Gu took two or three steps to Su and winked at her, trying to get her to admit the crime. Maybe she could find a way to exonerate her. Now that so many people were watching, she must not let anything else happen.

"Madam..." Su looked at Madam Gu with tears in her eyes. Seeing this, she bit her lips tightly and nodded.

Rong Zhen only cares about how the person on the bed is doing now, and doesn't care who poisoned him.

"Doctor, can her face be cured?"

Rong Zhen looked at the woman whose face had been ruined and felt inexplicably irritated.

"It will take some time. Only when the fever subsides can there be improvement. The red spots on the face are not smallpox, and they are not contagious. Please rest assured, sirs."

Rong Zhen waved his sleeves impatiently and said, "Alright, I don't want to hear so much nonsense. As long as the person is fine, that's enough."

After saying this, he looked meaningfully at the nurse kneeling on the ground.

Madam Gu walked up to Rong Zhen, grinned and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never forgive this slut."

"That's fine. Madam, please decide what to do. I'm tired and will go back to sleep first."

"Then... tomorrow's wedding."

"Cancel it for now, wait until her face is healed. I don't want to marry an ugly girl into the palace."

Mrs. Gu had a lonely look in her eyes. She would be restless and unable to sleep the whole day before Gu Yunru came into the palace.

The spectators had all dispersed, and Su was locked up in the woodshed to wait for his fate.
