The legs and feet of the small stool had already been numb, but I didn’t expect that this young lady was so energetic.

“It looks so lively.”

"Miss……"

Qing Xing knew that she couldn't persuade her young lady, so she quickened her pace and caught up with her.

"How dare a lowly slave talk back!"

I saw a strong-looking palace maid in the crowd raising her hand fiercely, ready to slap a palace maid kneeling on the ground.

"stop!"

Gu Yunru appeared in time and saved the palace maid from being severely beaten.

"Who are you?"

Zi Yan withdrew her hand and looked fiercely at Gu Yunru who came uninvited. She was a person close to Concubine Shu of the Millennium Palace and was used to showing off her power on weekdays. She didn't expect that an unknown girl would dare to stop her.

Xiao Dengzi rushed forward panting, looked at Zi Yan, glanced at Fo Chen and said, "This is Prince Zhao's man, a distinguished guest brought into the palace by His Royal Highness Prince Zhao. Zi Yan, you are so brave!"

When Zi Yan heard this, she quickly withdrew her hand and bowed respectfully to Gu Yunru, "I was blind and didn't know you were the distinguished guest of His Royal Highness Prince Zhao. Please forgive me, young lady."

"Don't be so reserved. I want to ask what happened to this girl that she was beaten so badly by you guys."

The woman lying on the ground was beaten black and blue, with blood oozing from her mouth. The grievance and helplessness in her eyes frightened everyone present.

Zi Yan was ready to strike first, and hurriedly walked up to Gu Yunru with small steps and said, "Miss, you don't know, Biluo is so bold that she actually tampered with Concubine Ying's clothes."

"No, I don't. Even if I have a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Besides, Concubine Ying has been very kind to me, so I won't do such a thing of repaying kindness with hatred."

Biluo, lying on the ground, had tears in her eyes, and her crying was so pitiful.

The look in Gu Yunru's eyes when she looked at Biluo was full of grievance and hatred after being wronged, so she thought what she said was probably true.

Xiao Dengzi didn't want to let such a thing disturb Gu Yunru, so he glared at the two of them and said, "Don't disturb Miss Gu for such a small matter."

"Yes, yes, just leave this little matter to this servant. Drag Biluo away and give her fifty slaps on the face."

Zi Yan looked at the powerful nanny behind her and gave instructions, so she quickly stopped in front of Bi Luo and said to Zi Yan: "I don't think Bi Luo is lying."

Biluo looked at Gu Yunru and was so excited that she couldn't speak. She was bullied in the laundry department, but she didn't expect an unrelated woman to speak for her.

Zi Yan was a little embarrassed, and winked at the small stool beside Gu Yunru. This was the harem's business, why did it have anything to do with this outsider? Besides, it was the matter that was entrusted by the Concubine Shu, so it had to be done quickly.

Xiao Dengzi frowned and whispered in Gu Yunru's ear: "Miss, this is the servants' business, just let them solve it by themselves, but don't spoil your fun, Miss. Didn't you say you wanted to go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll?"

“I don’t feel like shopping now.”

Gu Yunru said this with a willful look on his face and helped Biluo up from the ground.

"You guys beat her up without any reason. I want to ask her what she did wrong."

Gu Yunru questioned the arrogant Zi Yan in front of her. Zi Yan frowned in embarrassment and said, "Miss, this matter has nothing to do with you. You are a guest from outside the palace, so I won't bother with you. But this is the order of Concubine Shu. We must solve this matter, otherwise it will be difficult for me to report to the master."

"Miss, please don't seek justice for me..." Biluo said tremblingly behind Gu Yunru.

"That won't do. Is there anyone among you who can help her get justice?"

Gu Yunru glanced at the crowd who were watching the show, and no one dared to offend Concubine Shu.

At this moment, a tall figure appeared behind Xiaodengzi. Xiaodengzi saw Prince Zhao coming down and was about to shout loudly to attract everyone's attention, but before he could open his mouth, he was forced back by a sharp look.

Rong Zhen looked at Gu Yunru. He had been looking for her for a long time but couldn't find her. He asked the palace servants nearby and found out that she was running in this direction.

"I respectfully invite you to be His Royal Highness Prince Zhao's guest, but even if His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is here, he cannot interfere in the affairs of the harem. If you have any foresight, please leave. Biluo is the one that the Concubine Shu wants."

Zi Yan refused to give in no matter what, which was also what Gu Yunru had expected. It was indeed extremely difficult to interfere in their affairs. Just as she was about to speak, a familiar and magnetic male voice sounded behind her.

"Is it not possible for this king's woman to ask?"

When everyone saw His Royal Highness Prince Zhao, they were so frightened that they bowed and knelt before him.

Zi Yan frowned in embarrassment and said, "Your Highness, this Biluo made a big mistake. I don't know what she put on her clothes, but it attracted many insects and frightened Concubine Ying so much that she couldn't get up from her bed.

After Concubine Shu learned about this, she ordered a thorough investigation and found that Biluo was the one who took over Concubine Ying's clothes. Therefore, Biluo wanted to frame her master, and her crime is unforgivable!"

With Rong Zhen's appearance, Zi Yan finally explained the whole story.

Biluo was so scared that tears fell down her pale cheeks. She shook her head and said, "I really don't dare to have such thoughts. If it is really me who did it, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

"You still dare to quibble? What else can you say with the witnesses and evidence?"

Zi Yan narrowed her eyes viciously and was about to find someone to take Bi Luo away, but she saw Gu Yunru standing behind Bi Luo without hesitation. She must be determined to protect her in front of everyone this time, and Rong Zhen also saw what she was thinking.

"If this lady blocks my way, it would be like making things difficult for the Concubine Shu. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Gu Yunru swallowed her saliva and whispered to Rong Zhen beside her: "Who is this Concubine Shu?"

"The concubine who assists in managing the six palaces has power comparable to that of the queen, but unfortunately there is no queen in the palace yet."

Gu Yunru breathed a sigh of relief, but just by hearing the title, she knew that Shufei had a profound background.

"There is something fishy about this matter. I believe what Biluo said. Please give me a few days to find out the truth, Madam Shufei. Don't wrongly accuse anyone."

Zi Yan looked at Rong Zhen with some embarrassment. If His Royal Highness Prince Zhao had not suddenly appeared, he would have taken the dead girl away long ago.

Millennium Palace.

The Concubine Shu was dressing up to prepare for the evening banquet. Her long black hair was tied into an exquisite and dignified bun, and her eyebrows were high, which looked like distant black ink, and her eyes were like water, which made people fall in love with her at first sight.
