Master Duan looked at Shen Aojun expectantly. Even with the veil on, he could not hide her celestial beauty.

Her skin is as smooth as warm jade, and her eyes are full of affection, which makes people dream about her.

Shen Aojun was suddenly stopped. What should he do?

"Well... Mr. Duan's poem... should be improvised, right?" Shen Aojun naturally would not say too much. He used tactful language to point out the flaws in the poem. In Gu Yunru's opinion, since the other party did not write the poem seriously, there was no need for Shen Aojun to comment on it seriously. It was just a doggerel. How could he think that he had some real talent?

Among them was a woman in purple, who saw that Gu Yunru was trying to hold back her laughter, so she looked at her sharply with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"Princess Zhao, isn't my cousin's poem good?"

Hearing the source of the voice, Gu Yunru quickly stopped laughing. It was indeed a bit ominous to laugh so loudly.

"Ahem, although it's not, I think Miss Shen's comment is too euphemistic. This is clearly a doggerel. Admiring a beautiful woman is not something you can say casually. As the saying goes, a gentleman seeks a beautiful lady."

Gu Yunru recited a poem casually, which made everyone stunned.

Shen Aojun took the lead in clapping and cheering, looking at Gu Yunru expectantly, "I didn't expect the princess to be so talented."

"Uh... just a trifle." The smile on Gu Yunru's lips quietly disappeared. It would be better for her not to show off. Otherwise, someone in her family would criticize her again.

Just when Gu Yunru thought everything was calm, there was a commotion outside. Seeing the Royal Guards coming and going, Gu Yunru blinked his right eyelid, feeling something was wrong.

"What's going on outside?"

The Queen Mother couldn't stand noise, and Gu Yunru's curiosity was aroused again.

"Empress Dowager, there is a palace maid outside who fell into the water. When she was fished out, she was already dead. It seems that she is a palace maid beside the princess."

As soon as Nanny Hua received the letter, she rushed in to report to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother shifted her gaze to Gu Yunru's face. The cup in Gu Yunru's hand shattered to the ground with a bang. She rushed out quickly, ignoring the darkness outside, and almost slipped to the ground.

“Ahem.”

Shen Aojun really wanted to go out and take a look, but it was dark outside, the road was slippery and the wind was strong. She was already thin, so she couldn't go out and be exposed to the wind.

Gu Yunru arrived at the scene where people were bustling about. Many palace servants were standing around with lanterns in their hands, pointing and talking. The atmosphere at the scene was cold and solemn.

"Princess..." Several palace servants made way for Gu Yunru, who stepped forward. Her body was trembling a little, and she was holding the lantern in her hand, with heavy steps, as if they were filled with lead.

"Qing Xing?" Gu Yunru saw that her body was a little swollen, and it seemed that she had been soaking in the water for quite some time.

I put my hand on her wrist, wanting to see what was going on. Suddenly, my nose felt sore and tears started to flow.

"Qingxing, Qingxing, wake up!" Gu Yunru shook her arm and put his finger on the tip of her nose, but found that she had stopped breathing.

When Rong Zhen and his men arrived, it was already too late. Gu Yunru wept and shook her body, holding her tightly in her arms, sobbing non-stop.

"Qing Xing... who? Who is it?" Gu Yunru roared to the sky, holding the dead Qing Xing in his arms, his body trembling, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty anger, looking at all the onlookers, pointing at their noses, "You, it's you, it's still you!"

Everyone took a step back in fear, and took a deep breath as they looked at the crazy princess.

Rong Zhen walked up to her, grabbed her arm, and whispered in her ear, "Wake up."

"I'm awake, how can I be awake? Who is it? Who is it?!" Gu Yunru was filled with grief and anger, shaking the person in his arms fiercely.

On the other side, Nanny Hua whispered the news she brought to the empress dowager's ear. The empress dowager nodded as if she had suddenly understood something. She asked everyone to disperse first and asked Shen Aojun and Huang Zijun to stay, preparing to let the two young people be alone together for a while.

"Queen Mother... Ao Jun is feeling a little unwell today, so he should go back to No. 5 Middle School to rest."

Shen Aojun seemed a little awkward and didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

"Okay, then General Huang, please stay."

The Queen Mother was about to talk to Huang Zijun alone about marriage, but Huang Zijun walked forward with a look of heavy concern.

"Zijun, you have been going to war with King Zhao since you were a child. Now that the prince has a family, shouldn't you also consider your marriage?"

"It's all up to the Queen Mother." Huang Zijun lowered his head, looking indifferent. The Queen Mother was about to speak when she saw Gu Yunru rushing in aggressively, holding a sword in her hand and directly holding the sword on Huang Zijun's neck. This scene made the palace servants around him extremely panicked. They were about to step forward to persuade the princess, but they saw him staring at her with scarlet eyes and shouting behind him: "Get out of my way!"

"Yunru, what are you doing? Are you crazy?" The empress dowager was also startled, her face turned pale, and she quickly stood up and wanted to walk forward. Gu Yunru stared at Huang Zijun gloomily.

"Huang Zijun! Qingxing, did you kill her?"

Gu Yunru bit her lip hard and looked at him intently, with a cold and sharp look that did not belong to her.

"Why do you say that?" Huang Zijun was obviously surprised.

"Then look at what this is?!" Gu Yunru threw the sachet in her hand into his arms. This was the sachet sewn by Qingxing herself and given to Huang Zijun. Both of their names were written on it, but the sachet was returned to Qingxing's hands. Presumably, she had met Huang Zijun before.

"This is what I returned to Qingxing." Huang Zijun didn't want to get entangled with her again, so he returned the sachet to her. However, he didn't expect that the last time they saw each other was not long ago. The sachet was still wet, and it must have been salvaged from the water.

"Do you admit that you met her again?" Gu Yunru narrowed her eyes, trying to see through his cover-up.

His pupils suddenly contracted and he fell silent, which was considered an admission.

"What happened to her?" Huang Zijun didn't know that Qing Xing had drowned. Gu Yunru clenched her fists. After a while, Rong Zhen came quickly, hugged her in his arms, and took the sword from her hand. The Queen Mother then breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked someone to throw the sword away.

"Yunru! He couldn't have harmed her." Rong Zhen was also at the scene. When he saw Gu Yunru take the sachet out of Qingxing's arms, he saw her running towards the main hall like crazy. He quickly asked someone to follow her. He didn't expect that she would cast a suspicious look on Huang Zijun. Huang Zijun and Qingxing had no grudges, so why would he harm her? This was really unreasonable.

"But just now, Qingxing was still by my side. She followed Huang Zijun outside because she saw him. He was the only person she saw. If it wasn't him, who else could it be?"
