Gu Yunru opened and closed her lips, observing his expression, trying to discern the micro-expressions on his face. There was a kind of confusion in his eyes that he didn't want to express, and he was afraid that she had completely seen through his heart.

"I know you do feel guilty about Miss Xie, and you took her into your mansion just to pretend that you are controlled by the Xie family, but her feelings for you are real."

There are not many women as pure and kind as Xie Bingyan, not to mention that she is devoted to Rong Zhen. Thinking of this, she not only felt ashamed of herself, but she was also afraid that she would not be able to sacrifice her life for him like Xie Bingyan did.

"Okay, I know your answer, you can go out first." Gu Yunru saw the message from his pupils and didn't want to ask any further. Asking further would only bring humiliation to herself, so why bother?

Rong Zhen slowly lowered his hand and looked into her eyes. He sighed a little bitterly and left immediately.

Qingxing and Qingshuang were guarding outside the yard, and they could not help but hang their heads when they saw the prince leave in a rage.

"Are the prince and princess quarreling again?"

"Hush, who's going to decide? But let's not discuss the masters' affairs. Hurry and clean up the things in the yard first."

Qingxing ordered Qingshuang. Qingshuang nodded obediently and packed up the things in the yard. Gu Yunru sat on the chair in a daze. Qingxing hurried over and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the house was still as tidy as usual.

"Princess, are you okay?" Although he didn't hear the two people shouting, he could see that the princess's face seemed a little bad. He walked up to her and wanted to tell a joke to make her laugh, but she still had a cold look on her face and exuded an aloof aura.

"Princess, please don't scare me. Did the prince bully you?" Qing Xing looked at the princess who was usually high-profile and flamboyant. She should be the one bullying the prince, so how could the prince have the chance to bully her.

"It's okay, I want to go out for a walk."

"All right."

"By the way, Qingxing, ask Qingshuang to go to Baicaotang. I don't want to buy Baicao Cream anymore. Sell the shop to someone else."

As soon as the words fell, Qing Xing's lips were still in shock, and she came close to her, frowning and said, "Princess, Baicaotang is your hard work, is it really not going to open?"

At the beginning, Baicao Frost was very popular in the capital, and even the Empress Dowager praised it. Why is the trend going down now?

Gu Yunru sighed, "In business, there are successes and failures, which is perfectly normal. Let Qingfeng handle this matter. I want to go out for a walk."

"yes."

The snow outside gradually stopped. Qingxing followed behind her holding an oil-paper umbrella. The snow on the road melted. The vendors began to set up their stalls on the street. It was as lively as usual, as if nothing had happened.

"Princess, look who that is?" Qing Xing saw a young man with a jade-like figure standing in front of a stall not far away. His three-dimensional profile was very familiar. Wasn't it Xie Changming? But he was leaning on a cane and looked inconvenient to move.

"It's him." Gu Yunru walked forward, looked at Xie Changming and greeted him, "Mr. Xie, I didn't expect to see you in this place."

"Princess..." Xie Changming felt a little embarrassed to meet her face to face. After all, he now had a lame leg and was in a very miserable state.

"Thank you, Master, for your legs..."

Gu Yunru hasn't seen him for half a year. Ever since he fell off his horse, she has had no idea about his condition. She sent him the antidote, but she doesn't know whether the group of people gave him the antidote. Judging from his limping problem, it should be the sequelae that has not been cured.

"I have something else to do, so I'll go back first." Xie Changming couldn't bear to let her see his miserable and sad look, so he got on the carriage in a hurry.

"Princess, Master Xie doesn't seem to be willing to reveal more."

Qingxing has been following Gu Yunru for a long time, and she can tell at a glance what the expressions on his facial expressions are trying to convey.

"It's just a man's pride."

Gu Yunru ignored him and walked towards the street. She didn't know where she was going, she just wanted to take a walk and see the ice and snow melting.

Just then, I saw a sudden commotion ahead.

"Help! Help!"

A woman's shrill scream rang out among the crowd.

"Princess, it looks like they are horse bandits. Let's hide quickly." Qingxing was sharp-eyed. When she saw the group of tall horses, she quickly pulled Gu Yunru to hide near the umbrella stall.

"How can this be so absurd? How can you be so arrogant under the emperor's feet?"

Gu Yunru turned around indignantly and felt a little angry when she saw the group of robbers robbing a decent woman in broad daylight.

"Listen to me carefully! One day! I will replace the old emperor!" The bandit looked back very arrogantly and uttered cruel words.

Gu Yunru secretly picked up a stone from the ground and threw it directly at the leader's forehead. The man with a face full of flesh suddenly screamed and stared at the panicked people around him, "Who is it? Who dares to plot against me?!"

The man was a little angry, and was staring at the frightened crowd, trying to find any flaws.

Gu Yunru smiled slyly and was about to bend down to sneak out, but she didn't expect to be caught by their people.

"Run!" Gu Yunru grabbed Qingxing's hand without hesitation and started running into the crowd, panting as he ran to the area with the most people, trying to blur the line of sight.

But gradually, she suddenly felt something was wrong. The person behind her was getting heavier and heavier. She turned around and saw that it was a middle-aged man. The man grinned at her with a silly look.

"Who are you? Where is my Qingxing?" Gu Yunru looked around but still didn't see Qingxing.

"I thought you chose me to be your husband. I was so excited for nothing." The man picked his nose and smiled shyly at Gu Yunru. He almost vomited in front of him and quickly pushed him aside.

Seeing those horse bandits looking for her everywhere, she hurried into the alleys, but unexpectedly she was dragged into a remote house by someone. She thought he was some audacious lunatic and almost screamed.

"Shh. It's me."

The man's voice sounded very familiar. Gu Yunru listened carefully, blinking her starry eyes. She quickly recognized it and slowly turned her head.

"Cheng Shaoyuan...it's you. There are so many horse bandits on the street. Why don't you lead the troops to suppress them?" Gu Yunru looked at him nervously. The scene just now was really thrilling. You started robbing in front of so many ordinary people. You didn't take the emperor seriously at all!

"Don't worry, everything is under control. Why did you run out?"

Seeing Cheng Shaoyuan's confident look, it seemed that he had seen what those people did.
