Rong Zhen personally sent Gongsun Ningxue out of the city and gave her a bag of silver, which was enough for her to live a wealthy life in her next life.

"Your Highness, please send me here. We don't know when we will meet again if we continue to travel south." Gongsun Ningxue couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although she was reluctant to leave and missed this city, she could never enter it again.

"Take care on your journey." Rong Zhen was a man who was not good at speaking but was honest at heart, and he didn't know what to say.

"Yes." Gongsun Ningxue gave him a calm smile, thinking of the first time she saw him, riding on the horse so calmly, heroically, with a jade-like figure and deep eyes.

That was the most beautiful scene she had ever seen, but now such a scene could never appear before her eyes again.

Gongsun Ningxue climbed onto the horse's back, took enough money and clothes to travel with her, and left.

Rong Zhen looked at her back and decided to deal with the minions following her. When Rong Zhen sent Gongsun Ningxue out of the city gate, he had already discovered that someone had been following them.

"Come out everyone." Rong Zhen didn't blink. At this time, dozens of men in black jumped out from the tree branches. No one knew when they had been ambushing here.

These people stabbed at Rong Zhen with swords in their hands. Rong Zhen used the internal energy in his body, slowly closed his eyes, and punched hard, catching everyone off guard.

The kung fu skills of these people are far inferior to those of the people who tried to assassinate him last time.

Rong Zhen had a sneer on his face and did not take these killers seriously. He knew that this group of people were all dead men and would commit suicide by taking poison if the mission was not completed.

When Qingfeng arrived, most of these people had already swallowed the poison and died.

When they are performing a mission, they will hold a black poison under their tongue. If their deeds are exposed, they will swallow the black poison and die with bleeding from all seven orifices within a cup of tea.

"Your Highness, I interrogated Doctor Hu yesterday, and he finally confessed that the princess is pregnant."

Before he finished speaking, Rong Zhen looked at him in disbelief, so he pushed him away with a palm and quickly returned to the palace.

On the other side, Gu Yunru was lying on the bed sweating profusely. She asked Xiaoye to find two midwives to come over, with the purpose of getting the dead baby out of her womb.

When Rong Zhen rushed into the room, he smelled a bloody smell. The strong smell of blood went straight to his nose. He saw a bucket of blood on the bed, and there was a tumor-like thing there.

“Your Majesty…”

The two midwives were so tired that they could not even straighten their backs, but finally the job was done.

"All of you get out!" Rong Zhen gave an order, asking the maids to retreat first.

Gu Yunru was lying on the bed, feeling cold all over. She had not expected that the effect of safflower would be so intense. Just drinking a bowl of it would cause such a big commotion.

"Yunru!" Rong Zhen rushed forward worriedly and held her in his arms. His heart sank as he touched her cold hands.

"Yunru, why did you hide it from me and not tell me?" Rong Zhen asked in a low voice. Seeing that she was still half asleep and half awake, she must have just used up all her strength. Her face was pale and her lips were trembling slightly.

"A Zhao... I can't keep this child, I'm sorry." Gu Yunru looked up at him with a sad face. If he knew about this, he would feel burdened.

She had to bear it alone.

Rong Zhen gently stroked her shoulders, his eyes were haggard, and his voice was hoarse, as if he was whispering.

"I'm going to Miaojiang to find an antidote for you." Rong Zhen said, observing her expression, with a look of loneliness in his eyes.

"Are you leaving the capital?" Gu Yunru held his hand tightly, reluctant to part with him.

"Yes, to save you." Rong Zhen had already asked people to find out the way. In the Miao area, witchcraft is prevalent, so maybe they can find a way to lure the queen insect out of her body.

"But... I'll be scared if you're not by my side." Gu Yunru had become completely dependent on him without knowing when, and would feel terrified if he was not around.

This feeling seemed to have taken root in my heart.

"Don't worry, I will come back in time." Rong Zhen held her hand and assured her. The worry on Gu Yunru's face was like a gloomy dark cloud, getting thicker and thicker. First, she was reluctant to see him leave suddenly, and second, she was afraid that he would be in danger if he went there.

"Then when will you come back?" Gu Yunru suddenly looked at him quietly like a child who had lost his sense of dependence, wanting him to give a specific deadline.

"Well... it should be about half a month. I will let Qingfeng stay in the house to take good care of you. And Shen Aojun and Tingya will come to see you every now and then. Don't be afraid of being alone." Rong Zhen had already arranged all these things. Fearing that he would be bored staying in the house alone, he bought many servants.

"But..." Gu Yunru was still a little worried and grabbed his sleeves, not wanting him to leave so quietly.

"Don't be afraid. Do you remember the carrier pigeon I raised?" Rong Zhen knew that she would feel uneasy, so he decided to send a letter home every day.

In this way, she wouldn't be in a constant state of anxiety, worrying about what kind of trouble he might get into outside.

"Well, you must be careful." Gu Yunru snuggled in Rong Zhen's arms, a tear fell from her eyes. The next morning, Rong Zhen left after leaving a letter. Qingfeng stood at the door, watching her heartbroken look. He couldn't help but step forward to comfort her.

"Princess, take the medicine." Qingfeng brought the medicine bowl to her. Gu Yunru came back to her senses, took out the wooden box, put the envelope in it, and said with a smile: "This is the first letter he left. I want to keep it."

Gu Yunru said, and put it away. She looked at Qingfeng and said, "Put it down. I'll drink it later."

It was a little strange to see her in such good spirits today, but Qingfeng didn't take it seriously. He looked at her holding her chest with a look of headache on her face, and anxiously prepared to take action, but his hand remained suspended in the air and he took it back.

"Are you okay?" Qingfeng saw several obvious blue veins on her arm, so he quickly grabbed her wrist and called Doctor Hu. Doctor Hu was so frightened that he was speechless.

"Doctor Hu, what's going on?" Qingfeng looked at the obvious blue veins on her neck. They seemed to be different from the blue veins that appeared when she was angry. They didn't feel sharp and seemed to be inside the skin.

"It's over... the poison has started to take effect." Doctor Hu said this with a trembling voice. He could only wait for the prince to bring back the antidote quickly. Otherwise, the princess would not be able to go out and see people. She could only stay in the house all day, lacking sunlight and water, like a withered flower, lifeless.

"Didn't you take medicine to control it? Why is it still like this?"
