Chapter 234: There Has Been a Past



When everyone saw Gu Yunru walking towards them gracefully, it was as if they had seen a life-saving straw.

"Princess, you're here." Kang Keren walked forward, and everyone was busy in a mess.

"I'm here. Thank you all for your hard work. I brought some brown sugar cakes. Please eat them first before you continue working." Gu Yunru felt bad for everyone who was busy from dawn to dusk, so she asked the maid behind her to put some cakes on the table. Everyone's eyes lit up. They were so hungry that they couldn't tell the directions, and they hurried over after seeing these things.

"Thank you, Princess!" Everyone looked at Gu Yunru gratefully. Gu Yunru waved her hand, sat in front of Kang Keren and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You have been helping me look after Keren Hall for so many days."

"Princess, please don't say that. I have already regarded Keren House as my own store."

Kang Keren smiled, realizing that she had said something wrong, and quickly changed her words: "Of course, this Keren Pavilion was invested by the princess, and the name was also chosen by the princess. I dare not overstep my authority."

Seeing her look of fear and trepidation, the relationship between them seemed a little strange. Gu Yunru didn't like this feeling, so she grabbed her hand and smiled, "Don't say that. Treat this as your store, and you can run it more carefully. Don't worry, I promised you that I would not lie to you at the beginning."

"Of course I believe what the princess said, but it's getting late today, so let's go back and rest."

"Okay, you too, I'll check the accounts later and then leave."

Gu Yunru wanted to know how many orders she had received this month. Every time she dreamed of counting money, she would wake herself up with joy.

"good."

Seeing that everyone had left, Gu Yunru was the only one left in Keren Pavilion. She sat in front of the counter and calculated the accounts. She didn't expect that she had made a profit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver last month. It seemed that the clothes of her Keren Pavilion were indeed loved by everyone.

I couldn't help but smile when I suddenly smelled a burnt smell coming from the back. I sniffed curiously, thinking I had smelled it wrong, but the smell became stronger and stronger. I saw smoke spreading from the backyard and then I realized with panic that there seemed to be a fire.

She had already sent people away, and she was the only one left in the whole Keren Pavilion. She hurried to the backyard and saw the raging fire in the warehouse. She was stunned and went to the nearby water tank, carrying two buckets of water to put out the fire. However, she was too naive...

"Ahem..." Gu Yunru was choked by the smoke and couldn't breathe. Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, she wanted to go outside to seek help from neighbors, but she didn't know who locked the door. Was she not the only one in Keren Hall?

"Who is it! Come out." Gu Yunru slammed the door violently, coughing uncontrollably, her face twisted into a ball. It seemed that the man had locked the front door while she was in the backyard putting out the fire, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a coincidence.

When Rong Zhen and Qing Xing arrived, they found that the backyard of Keren Pavilion was on fire. Qing Xing's eyes widened suddenly. She walked to the door and found that the front door was a little hot. She hurried to Rong Zhen and said, "My Lord, it's bad. The warehouse is on fire. There are many precious fabrics in it."

"I'll go and take a look."

Rong Zhen used Qinggong to fly onto the roof. The fire was raging everywhere and no one knew if there was anyone inside. Hearing the noise, he looked towards the water tank. In order to avoid being burned by the fire, Gu Yunru jumped into the water tank and got soaked with water so that he could find another way to escape.

But she didn't expect that the area was tightly blocked, and it was impossible to escape. Unless she used Qinggong, she would never be able to fly out! Gu Yunru felt a lot of smoke in her chest, and she couldn't even cough. Seeing the pillar of fire in front of her rushing towards her, she closed her eyes in despair, but she didn't know who was blocking her. She suddenly opened her eyes, but found that her feet were light, and she was taken out like a kite.

The entire Keren Pavilion was on fire. When the nearby neighbors saw it, they rushed over to put out the fire. People from the government office received the message and rushed to the street in an orderly manner.

"Cough cough..." Gu Yunru felt like she was about to cough to death. At this moment, she felt a gust of cold wind passing by her side. She was shivering with cold. Looking at the person in front of her, her eyes turned black and she fainted in his arms.

When Gu Yunru woke up, it was already early the next morning. Qingxing held the medicine soup in her hand and saw that she had finally woken up. She looked at her with a beaming smile and said, "Princess, you are so good. You finally woke up."

"Cough cough..." Gu Yunru felt very uncomfortable in her throat and was unable to speak. She looked at Qingxing with a resentful look on her face. She was eager to know what had happened last night!

Including what the current situation of Keren Hall is.

Qingxing had been by her side for a long time, and she knew what Gu Yunru was going to ask as long as she saw his eyes. She calmed down and said, "The warehouse of Keren Pavilion caught fire yesterday. Later, people from the government came and put out the fire, but we lost dozens of deniers of cloth and some gold and silver threads. Those threads are very valuable. We lost several thousand taels of silver."

When Qingxing said these numbers, she felt a pain in her heart. This was the result of everyone's hard work day and night, but they didn't expect it to be destroyed by a fire, and the princess almost lost her life because of it. Gu Yunru hurriedly got up and struggled, looking at Qingxing in front of him, she coughed violently a few times.

"Princess...what's wrong with you? Are you going to see the prince?" Gu Yunru nodded vigorously. Fortunately, Qingxing had made progress and there was no need for her to make gestures.

"The prince..." Qingxing spoke hesitantly and secretly glanced at the princess's face.

Sensing the princess's hand on her wrist, she took a firm breath and said, "It was the prince who rescued you that night. He was injured a lot, and his back was burned, but the prince didn't feel unwell at the time. He just fainted after returning to the mansion, and he hasn't woken up yet."

Gu Yunru’s eyes suddenly widened and she was about to walk out barefoot, but was stopped by Qingxing.

"Please put on your shoes, Princess."

The princess finally woke up, but she didn’t want to fall down again because of the cold she caught later.

Gu Yunru casually put on a pair of slippers, wrapped her cloak tightly, and hurried to his room.

Qingfeng had been guarding Rong Zhen's side all the time. Qingshuang was about to leave with the medicine bowl in her hand when she ran into the princess. Seeing her anxious look, she immediately greeted her, "Princess, you're awake."

Seeing that the princess said nothing, she walked straight into the house and scratched her head in frustration.

"Qingxing, what's wrong with the princess?" Qingshuang asked curiously, looking at Qingxing who was also speechless. Qingxing didn't know what to do, and frowned depressedly and said, "The princess seemed to be unable to speak when she woke up. It should be because of the cold last night. Hurry up and call Doctor Hu to come and see the princess."

"good."
