Gongsun Ningxue stared at him with bloodshot eyes. Xie Changming smiled coldly, and his joy turned into anger at these words.

Just when Xie Changming was about to pry open her mouth and hear some unfortunate secrets, a servant ran in in a panic and whispered something in his ear.

"What, Rong Zhen is here?" Xie Changming pretended to be surprised and glanced at Gongsun Ningxue not far away. It seemed that Gongsun Ningxue was looking forward to Rong Zhen's arrival.

"Walk."

Xie Changming came to the hall and saw Rong Zhen had been there for a long time, so he walked up to him and bowed.

"I didn't know that I didn't come to greet you, Your Highness. Please forgive me." Xie Changming clasped his fists and bowed. Rong Zhen's eyes flashed, and he smiled with pursed lips, "Master Xie, I didn't expect that you are now working in the Ministry of War."

Xie Changming was still limping in front of him, but it didn't matter whether he was disabled or not. Rong Zhen came here just to ask him for a person in person.

"I'm favored by His Majesty, so I have the opportunity to serve in the Ministry of War." Xie Changming said respectfully with his head down. Rong Zhen waved his sleeves, a breeze blew by, and he sat aside.

"Xie Changming, I heard that Gongsun Ningxue was taken away by you?" Rong Zhen asked directly and sharply without beating around the bush. Xie Changming was slightly stunned when he heard this and took a step forward.

"Your Highness, who is this Gongsun Ningxue?" Looking at Xie Changming who was knowingly committing a crime and looked like he deserved a beating, Rong Zhen smiled coldly.

"The female suspect taken to the Ministry of War is Gongsun Ningxue. Could it be that Lord Xie did not know her identity and brought her back to the Ministry of War without knowing the truth?"

Rong Zhen's pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes were sharp. "Your Highness... I didn't expect this person's identity to be so important to Your Highness. Do you want to take this suspect away?" Xie Changming straightened his back and asked curiously.

"So what?" Rong Zhen came here with a fierce momentum, and his purpose was clearly written on his face.

"Someone, go and bring Miss Gongsun up." Xie Changming had no choice but to wave his robe and ask someone to bring Gongsun Ningxue to the court.

"Your Highness, do you know how the Emperor will deal with this matter?" Xie Changming asked in a low voice. Seeing a dark look in his eyes, he shut up in annoyance.

Knowing that he was reminding her intentionally or unintentionally, Rong Zhen did not fall into his trap, but asked him to bring Gongsun Ningxue up. On the other side, Gongsun Ningxue's internal energy had almost recovered. When she saw two people escorting her outside, she became alert.

The two were waiting in the hall, Rong Zhen was waiting calmly for Gongsun Ningxue to appear. As luck would have it, a servant came to report that Gongsun Ningxue had used internal energy to escape while being escorted here.

"What else can you bunch of useless people do?... Go and find the person back." Xie Changming shouted at them, and after seeing their figures running away, he turned around and bowed to him.

"Your Highness, you have also seen that the people in the Gongsun Mansion are very cunning. First, Gongsun Yan has not been found until now, and this Gongsun girl has also escaped."

Rong Zhen slowly placed the teacup in his hand on the table and looked up at him. His handsome face seemed a little unclear in the dim candlelight.

"Who said Gongsun Yan was not found? I have already sent people to search for his body."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Changming was shocked. He stared with his eyes wide open and couldn't say anything for a long time.

"I wonder where the prince found Gongsun Yan's trace." Xie Changming asked immediately. Rong Zhen calculated the time and it was about to get dark. If Gongsun Ningxue really escaped, she would probably rush to the city gate.

"You don't have to worry about this. The people from the Ministry of Justice will investigate the matter thoroughly. As for those officials who have committed crimes, the people from the Ministry of War should not intervene. Please thank Mr. Xie and don't make unnecessary moves." Although Rong Zhen's tone was gentle, it had a kind of intimidating power.

Xie Changming felt his scalp tingling under his gaze, so he had to nod and step back.

After seeing Rong Zhen's back walking away, he called the butler over and whispered, "Did he really leave?" He thought that the servants had used a trick and just wanted Rong Zhen to leave quickly, but he didn't expect that the butler hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word.

"The person really ran away. I didn't expect that Miss Gongsun is such a skilled martial artist." The butler was ashamed. Xie Changming glanced at him coldly, and the butler's scalp tingled.

"Sir...should I tell the adults about this?"

"Tell what, sir. Didn't you understand what Rong Zhen said just now? He told the people from the Ministry of War not to interfere anymore."

Xie Changming narrowed his narrow eyes. Fortunately, he had already made preparations.

"Then, Young Master...Gongsun Ningxue, should we continue tracking her?" the butler continued to ask, wanting to get definite information.

"Of course, who wouldn't be jealous of the power of Jianzhong?" Xie Changming raised the corner of his mouth evilly and slowly sat down. Rong Zhen rushed to the vicinity of the palace and felt that someone had been following him, but when he turned around, the man disappeared without a trace.

"Your Highness." Qingfeng saw the prince coming back and immediately went forward to greet him.

"What is it?"

Rong Zhen asked calmly with his lips raised.

"Something happened to the princess." Qingfeng had been guarding the door, anxiously waiting for him to come back. When he finally showed up, he told him everything that happened in Ginkgo Garden.

Rong Zhen rushed to the backyard and entered the room. He smelled a fishy odor and asked people to open the doors and windows. However, Doctor Hu stopped him in time, saying that the smell must not be allowed to spread outside.

There was an iron basin under Gu Yunru's bed. Gu Yunru vomited out many worms that night. It turned out that Doctor Hu had given her a few injections and forced the larvae out of her body. However, there was still an old worm in her body that could not be forced out no matter how hard he tried.

After vomiting out these things, Gu Yunru fainted again and woke up half an incense stick of time later. Seeing Rong Zhen, Qingfeng and others guarding her bedside, Gu Yunru felt nauseous. Doctor Hu immediately handed the basin to her again. Gu Yunru vomited some more and felt her stomach was empty. Even the egg drop porridge she had drunk today was vomited out.

"Yunru...how are you?" Rong Zhen stood by the bed and looked at her worriedly. Her pale, thin face and listless eyes hurt him deeply.

"A Zhao... I... I feel so sick." Gu Yunru thought carefully about what she had accidentally eaten these days, but no matter how hard she thought, she still couldn't figure out what it was.

Gu Yunru didn't want to see what she vomited, so Doctor Hu asked someone to quickly clean up the contents of the basin and also asked someone to place a few bouquets of clean flowers in the room.
