Chapter 280: Short-sighted



Rong Zhen, who had become a doctor through long experience of illness, naturally mastered the skills. He asked her to lie on his legs obediently and massaged her temples. His technique was delicate and very penetrating. His fingertips were warm and pressed on her temples just right.

Gu Yunru was enjoying herself so much that she almost fell asleep, but she did not forget to chat with him.

"Have all the officials who committed crimes been taken back?" Gu Yunru was concerned about this matter. Thinking about how he almost made a big mistake and made Rong Zhen unhappy, he still felt a little guilty.

However, Rong Zhen had already put that matter behind him. As long as she was safe and sound, he was willing to do anything.

While massaging her temple, he replied calmly, "Don't worry, everything over there has been dealt with, and no one will dare to lead a trouble in the future."

"That's good. My neck is a little sore. Can you help me massage the back of my neck?" Gu Yunru continued to press forward. It was rare for her to see Rong Zhen being so gentle today, so of course she wanted to take advantage of him and get back all the grievances she had suffered before.

"Okay, turn your head back." Rong Zhen was helpless. He could only pamper his woman like this. Gu Yunru made a face at him and lay obediently on the bed waiting for his gentle massage.

On the other side, the assassin in black entered Gu Junyue's room, lowered his head, and a cold look flashed in his eyes. "I don't know who suddenly walked in again. I thought it was the master returning home."

"It can't be Your Excellency. Your Excellency is busy interrogating those officials who have committed crimes in the Dali Temple. It must be Prince Zhao who has come." Gu Junyue's mind was in a mess. This was a good opportunity to attack Gu Yunru. If he missed it, there would be no chance to do it again.

Rong Zhen must have come here to take her away, and she must not let Rong Zhen do what he wanted. She bit her teeth hard, thinking that she would send some gifts and say some nice words the next morning to get Gu Yunru to stay, so that she would have a chance to make the move.

The next morning, when Gu Yunru woke up, Rong Zhen had disappeared.

Perhaps she was so comfortable with the massage last night that she fell asleep early, and Rong Zhen seemed to wait until dawn to leave. Gu Yunru stretched comfortably and found that even her cold and cough had improved a lot.

Thinking about going back to the palace to do what I should do, I saw Gu Junyue and the two maids beside them guarding the door, as if they had been waiting here for a long time.

"Sister, you are finally up. I have made a bowl of black chicken soup. I wonder if it suits your taste."

Gu Junyue was wearing a white jasmine gauze dress with a white skirt that dragged on the ground. She was tied with soft gauze, which gave her a slightly greasy and soft scent. Her eyes were like clear waves, and she asked the servants to put the food on the table.

She breathed a sigh of relief. She had just woken up and hadn't even washed up yet, but they had already brought her breakfast. What a thoughtful service! If someone is too attentive for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

As her good sister, she had witnessed her conspiracies and tricks since she was a child, and this time was no exception.

"Sister, why are you looking at me like that? Sit down quickly. This is the black chicken soup that I made for you personally. Try it while it's hot." Gu Junyue had a bright smile on her face and held up the bowl of black chicken soup in her hand as if to flatter her.

Gu Yunru sniffed it pretending to be mature and said, "What you cooked is not very good. The chicken soup smells too fishy. You didn't even add some Chinese herbs to remove the fishy smell." Gu Yunru started to find fault, but Gu Junyue still forced a smile beside her.

"Sister, you're right. I will pay attention next time. Are you going back to the palace? I finally got to see you. Why don't you stay a few more days?"

Gu Yunru was about to take a sip of chicken soup to taste it, but when she heard these words coming out of her mouth, she thought it was too weird and almost spit them out. Looking at the delicate and pretentious Gu Junyue in front of her, who looked like a rich lady, it was no wonder that she loved to act in front of her, because Cheng Shaoyuan walked in standing behind her.

"Jun Yue is right. You sisters have finally reunited, so why don't you stay in Cheng Mansion for a few days before leaving."

Cheng Shaoyuan was busy in the Dali Temple all night. When he returned home, there was a dark circle under his eyes and he looked extremely tired. Gu Junyue felt very distressed and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief in her hand.

"My husband is right. I haven't seen my sister for a long time. Besides, my sister is my only relative in this world. Don't you want to stay and accompany your sister?" Gu Junyue started acting in front of her again. There must be another reason why he wanted her to stay.

Gu Yunru changed her mind and didn't want to disappoint everyone's kindness, so she said a few perfunctory words and sat back in front of the bronze mirror table, but she had no interest in the chicken soup at all.

"Go and have a rest. You've been tired all night." Gu Junyue looked at him distressedly, as if she wanted to suffer the same pain he had suffered. Listening to Gu Junyue's soft and artificial voice, goose bumps almost appeared.

Gu Junyue followed him back to the room and took off his clothes, but saw a handkerchief fell out of his sleeve. She quietly held the handkerchief in her palm without him noticing, and helped Cheng Shaoyuan to bed. He fell asleep quickly, probably because he was too tired last night.

Gu Junyue, holding the handkerchief, walked to the door with a heavy heart. At this time, the maid came forward and looked at her, frowning, and asked with concern, "Miss, what should we do next?"

Gu Junyue knew without guessing that the handkerchief belonged to Gu Yunru. Only because she liked orchids would she embroider the handkerchief with orchids. Her anger had reached its peak. It turned out that Cheng Shaoyuan had never forgotten her.

Even though she was now the Princess of Zhao, Cheng Shaoyuan had never forgotten her in his heart! "Miss, what's wrong with you?" The maid saw that something was wrong with Gu Junyue's face and pulled her sleeves, only to see that she was furious and scolded her. The maid was still sobbing, not knowing what she had said wrong to annoy the young lady.

On the other side, Gu Yunru, who had just finished drinking the chicken soup, felt a little sleepy. She didn't know what was in the soup, and she fell into a deep sleep. As soon as she fell asleep, she had another dream. She and Rong Zhen built a small courtyard beside a mountain stream.

With piles of children surrounding them, calling them "Dad" and "Mom" every day, the scene was dreamy, yet seemed unreal. When Gu Yunru woke up, it was already afternoon. She had to leave as soon as possible and return to Ruyi Inn to let these friends know that she was safe.

When she arrived at Ruyi Inn, she pushed the leaf cards with everyone and told Kang Keren, Shen Aojun, and Ting Ya about the strange dream she had recently had.
