"Who sent this medicine?"
The imperial physician asked. The butler scratched his head and told the story of the princess. Xie Yihui concluded that Princess Zhao had bad intentions and wanted to throw away the medicine. Fortunately, the imperial physician stopped him and said to him seriously, "Grand Chancellor, this is a miraculous medicine. It can only be found in Wanshe Mountain. And a place as steep as Wanshe Mountain is not something that an ordinary medicine boy can go up."
"So what? It's that woman who caused my son to lie in bed for several days without any improvement. Will the medicine she sent work?" Xie Yihui was already very suspicious and thought that maybe Gu Yunru wanted to make him sick on purpose.
"My Lord, please be patient. No matter what Princess Zhao is thinking, the medicine she sent is indeed very effective. Could it be that my Lord is so angry about this medicine?"
After hearing what the imperial physician said, he felt that there was some truth in it, so he handed the medicine in his hand to the imperial physician, and repeatedly told him to save his life, and that he would reward him handsomely.
After returning from Xie's house, Gu Yunru looked around and saw that the weather was fine and there was no sign of rain, so she discussed with Qingxing and went to Ruyi Inn. Before leaving, Qingxing was still hesitant, thinking that if the prince came back and didn't see the princess, he might get angry again.
Tingya was tidying up the room. There were more and more pedestrians walking on the street in the past few days. There were no heavy casualties in the battle. Everyone was praising the wisdom and bravery of His Royal Highness King Zhao.
"Why are you here again?" Ting Ya came to her with a quilt in her hand and looked at her curiously. The dark green figure was very pleasing to the eyes from a distance, but she couldn't help but laugh when she thought of how drunk she was yesterday.
"Look at your half-smile, I know I must be out of control after drinking. But it doesn't matter. I just came here to try some snacks today. Hurry up and ask the waiter to prepare some for me. I'm starving."
Gu Yunru had only eaten a few bites in the mansion before rushing to deliver the medicine. Qingxing reached out to catch her cloak, held it in her arms, and walked with her into a less conspicuous corner.
At this moment, two big men walked in from the door, sat aside, and talked about the war, and mentioned the matter of the Buyi tribe changing its king.
"Have you heard? The old king of the Buyi tribe has died. It seems that he was seriously ill. No one knows what happened there. A leader was eager to make merit and covet the throne, but he didn't expect to be beaten back by our His Royal Highness King Zhao."
"I have heard that, but they don't even look at who their opponent is. His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is so wise and powerful."
"Yes, this is like an egg hitting a rock. It is not easy to achieve outstanding military exploits!"
Everyone laughed and didn't take the incident seriously at all.
Qing Xing didn't understand what those people were talking about. She only noticed Cheng Shaoyuan coming in from the door. She turned her head subconsciously. Why did she run into Master Cheng as soon as she arrived at Ruyi Inn? This was too embarrassing! "Hey, isn't that Brother Cheng?" Gu Yunru didn't have any taboos and waved at him. Cheng Shaoyuan simply sat over and looked at the two of them and said, "I didn't expect that you two would come out again as soon as peace returned to the street. But why didn't you disguise yourself today?"
Seeing the two of them coming out openly in women's clothes, married women in ancient times had to be more cautious, but Gu Yunru was different from other women, she was more free and easy.
"I just came out for a walk and to take a break, so I plan to go back after I finish eating. By the way, Brother Cheng, do you have any difficult cases recently? Do you need my help to solve them?" Gu Yunru was eager to try. She didn't want to stay under the nose of that taciturn man all day long.
"You must be aware of your current status. You are the famous Princess Zhao and you cannot show up in public casually anymore."
"Don't talk to me in an official tone. I know my identity is special, but don't worry, I will never abuse my power. Besides, I don't have much power, do I?"
The two chatted about the north and south. Ting Ya came out and saw the three people at the table. She walked towards Chu Ziqiao with an embarrassed look on her face and asked in a low voice, "Why is Cheng Shaoyuan here again?"
"If I said I was just passing by, would you believe it?"
Chu Ziqiao smiled, but that smile was a little obscure. These two were enemies who would always meet each other. It seemed as if they had telepathic connection. As long as one of them came over, the other would be attracted as well.
Gu Yunru's eyes revealed a hint of deepness, and she looked at him calmly and said, "I don't believe that the capital is really so peaceful. Have you encountered any difficult cases? Tell me so that I can help you analyze it. If my brain doesn't work anymore, it will rust."
"Well, there's really nothing I can do about you. Last time, someone died in the casino. The man was named Ding Liuer. He was beaten to death by a group of people because he cheated. But the coroner found out that he died of poisoning, which means he was already poisoned before entering the casino."
Gu Yunru heard this and broke out in a cold sweat. She asked softly, "What is the identity of that Ding Liuer?"
"He ran a small business at home, but it was not successful. After he came to Beijing, he was led astray by some bad friends. He often stayed in gambling houses and waited for death. Someone discovered that he was cheating early on, but he refused to admit it. Later, no one knew who he had offended, so he was poisoned to death."
Cheng Shaoyuan looked at Gu Yunru's slightly uneasy expression. After concentrating for a moment, he said gently, "Do you also want to investigate this case?"

"I am somewhat interested." Gu Yunru stroked his chin, looking thoughtful. Anyway, he had nothing to do these days, so he might as well focus on investigating the case.
"You can investigate these cases, but you have to ask first..."
"Rong Zhen? That's not necessary." Gu Yunru rejected him directly before he could finish his words.
The Imperial Palace.
The emperor was about to reward Rong Zhen, but he declined. Looking at the emperor in front of him, Rong Zhen bowed and said, "Brother, this is all my responsibility. There is really no need to make such a big fuss. What we need to do now is to reorganize the army and reduce taxes on the people."
"I know everything you said, but I also received a secret report not long ago that the old commoner king has died. He is supporting a new person to take the throne. These people have been harassing the border and are now thinking about breaking through the city. Their ambitions are growing."
