As soon as Gu Yunru walked in, she noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a little off. Seeing her quickly wipe away her tears, she knew that she had been sitting here alone and sad for a long time. Shen Aojun wiped her tears, glared at the servant at the door and said, "Why didn't you inform us that the princess is here?"
Everyone was silent, and the room was completely silent. Gu Yunru saw that she was so angry for no reason, and rubbed her palms, "Okay, don't be angry, I told them not to inform you, just to give you a surprise."
"What kind of surprise is this? I think it's more of a shock." Shen Aojun rolled his eyes in resentment. After a while, the two smiled at each other. Gu Yunru placed a few appetizers on the table, "This is my latest fruit peel jelly, and Piaopiaoxiang milk tea."
Shen Aojun was confused when she heard these new names, but she was not surprised to hear her say it. After tasting a few bites, she found that it really left a lingering fragrance in her mouth. This was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life.
"Ever since I took those vitamins and other things you made, I've often had a big appetite, but I don't know what happened these past few days. I've been so worried that I can't eat anything. I don't know how Zijun is doing now."
She wondered if Huang Zijun had done anything to his father, and if there was any misunderstanding, how to resolve it. Whenever she thought of this, she couldn't eat or sleep.
"You are a person who worries all the time. This matter is handed over to General Huang. You should trust General Huang, right?"
Gu Yunru grasped her hand meaningfully and advised earnestly. Knowing that she was still depressed, he specially made some appetizing nutritional supplements to make her happy. After a while, a smile appeared on her face. At this time, a servant came in and reported that Lord Shen was in trouble. The local government controlled the murderer, and the murderer was none other than Huang Zijun.
"What!"
Shen Aojun almost fell backwards, and the bowl and spoon in his hands fell to the ground. Gu Yunru was suspicious and asked loudly, "Where did you get this information?"
"The message to the princess came from outside the city."
Gu Yunru felt extremely confused. At the very least, it would take two days for the news to reach the city. If it had just happened but was reported back so quickly, then this person must have deliberately released the news to cause panic. Besides, Lord Shen might not have been in trouble. Seeing Shen Aojun's pale face and panting as she sat on the chair, she quickly walked up to her and pinched her philtrum, then asked the servant to get a basin of hot water.
"Aojun, don't be like this. What if this is fake news? It's just to create unnecessary panic. There are so many eyes watching in the city. Uncle Shen will be fine." Gu Yunru wrung out the towel and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Seeing her pale face and heavy breathing, she knew that he was extremely worried at the moment.
"No, I have to go to the city gate and wait for my father to come back." Shen Aojun suddenly thought of something and stubbornly wanted to run to the city gate, but it was already dark and there was no one to be seen in the crowd.
"Aojun, don't go. What's the difference between waiting here and waiting outside the city gate?" Gu Yunru stared at her for a moment, and regained her usual elegant and virtuous look. At this moment, Shen Aojun's head was buzzing with noises, as if the pillar of her heart had suddenly collapsed. She couldn't believe that her husband had killed her father, and the servant's words came from outside the city and must be very reliable. She had to wait outside the city gate in person.
Gu Yunru was afraid that something might happen to her if she was alone, so she waited outside the city gate with her. After Rong Zhen received the news, he was about to take a team to investigate the matter, and happened to meet Gu Yunru and Shen Aojun at the city gate.
He walked forward and asked in confusion. Gu Yunru looked at Shen Aojun who looked uneasy, grabbed Rong Zhen's hand and walked to a corner, lowering his voice and said, "A Zhao, have you heard the news outside? It is said that Huang..."
"I heard everything. This news is so weird. If what happened at midnight was brought to the city right now, it would be impossible without two days. This thing is not necessarily true."
Rong Zhen knew that the one who was suffering the most at this moment must be Shen Aojun.
He strode forward, looked at the distraught Shen Aojun and said, "Don't worry, I will take the troops to visit him right now."
"Your Highness...please take Aojun with you. He is my father." Shen Aojun looked at him with pleading expression, grabbing his arm and refusing to let go. Gu Yunru felt a little reluctant, so she also looked at Rong Zhen with pleading eyes, "Why don't you take us with you? Don't worry, we won't cause any trouble."
Shen Aojun's mood at this moment infected the two of them. Rong Zhen nodded and acquiesced, letting them follow the team and wait for two days to reach Yangzhou.
Two days later, they finally arrived in Yangzhou. The local officials had already investigated the matter. There was no direct evidence to prove that Huang Zijun had killed Mr. Shen, but the waiter insisted that he had seen it with his own eyes, and the matter soon became an unsolved case.
Lord Yu of Yangzhou was originally a half-baked person. Since it involved a person in the court, and the other party was a famous and renowned general, he was naturally biased towards him.
In the court, it was stated that Huang Zijun was innocent and he was asked to stop and return to the city to report. As for the death of Lord Shen, it was dealt with hastily.
Huang Zijun watched the adults and officials leave, and looked at the waiter with a puzzled look on his face, "I have no grudges against you, why do you say that I harmed Lord Shen?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. As soon as the door was opened, everyone saw you. And you two were the only ones in the room. What do you have to say?" The waiter still looked confident. At this moment, Shen Aojun also walked in. After hearing what the waiter said, she walked up to him with tears on her face, grabbed his collar and said, "You said you saw everything. What did you see?"
"Hey... Aojun, calm down." Gu Yunru blurted out the word calm and grabbed Shen Aojun's hand, not wanting her to become so rude in public.
"Let me ask him clearly. He said he saw everything. I guess he also knows why my father died!" Shen Aojun was impulsive and irrational at the moment. He had been traveling for two days and two nights, but he was still energetic.
"The waiter. You said he did it. Did you see him stabbed with a knife?" Gu Yunru's brows were solemn, and there was a hint of severity in his tone. The waiter was stunned, obviously looking for words.
