Gu Yunru was still somewhat rational. She followed Shen Aojun because she was afraid that something might happen to her. She held her arm and refused to let go. Shen Aojun was in extreme pain. She had been traveling for several nights and had not slept. She was exhausted. Her eyes went dark, her body went limp, and she fell down.

Huang Zijun quickly supported her in his arms. Gu Yunru took a deep breath and said, "Take her to a nearby inn first. As for this guy, leave it to me." Gu Yunru didn't believe that someone could lie so big in front of her. A sarcastic smile slowly escaped the corners of her mouth.

Rong Zhen was staring at Gu Yunru calmly not far away. When he saw her strange smile, he knew that she must be thinking of something bad again.

The waiter was so frightened that he kept saying, "Why are you looking at me like that? I've already told you everything I know."

"Really?" Gu Yunru curled her lips slightly and said contemptuously. She looked at him a few more times, glared at him, and said sinisterly: "Do you know the price of lying?"

Seeing Gu Yunru pressing forward step by step, the waiter lowered his head and said with a guilty conscience: "Okay, I admit that I didn't see anything. I just happened to see that person die."

Seeing that the waiter finally told the truth, it was too late. Shen Aojun was frightened by his words. He stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "When the girl wakes up, tell her what you just said. Do you understand?"

"I...I understand." The waiter did not dare to disobey. After all, there was a burly man standing by the door. His eyes looked as if he wanted to eat people up. He stood there like the King of Hell.

Seeing that Gu Yunru was finally willing to let him go, he ran away with his head down, looking really miserable. Gu Yunru walked to Rong Zhen and said to him arrogantly, "So, have you found any problems with Lord Shen's death?"

Rong Zhen hesitated for a moment, his eyes sparkling, "He was indeed stabbed in the heart with a knife. The technique was quick and sharp, he must have received professional training."

Hearing Rong Zhen's words, Gu Yunru felt uneasy. Why did this person want to make things difficult for Lord Shen? Could it be related to the Grand Chancellor? "A Zhao, who do you think is to blame for this matter?" Whenever Gu Yunru was undecided, she would listen to Rong Zhen's opinion. After listening to Rong Zhen's words, she felt that there were many signs of things going on.

"It should have nothing to do with the Great Chancellor's people." Rong Zhen blurted out subconsciously. There was no direct evidence to prove that this matter was related to the remnants of Xie Yihui who had not been eliminated.

Gu Yunru couldn't help but feel bad. Is there really no way to deal with this matter? On the other side, Shen Aojun was still unconscious. When he woke up, he heard the waiter's mumbling words. Before he could hear what he said, he saw him running away. When he ran out, he almost bumped into Gu Yunru.

I almost forgot that it was he who asked the waiter to come over and explain to Shen Aojun who had just woken up that this matter had nothing to do with Huang Zijun. I didn't expect that the waiter was so perfunctory in explaining things. I guess Shen Aojun didn't understand what that guy said at all.

Gu Yunru was too lazy to argue with the waiter, so she walked in with her legs raised high and handed the medicine bowl to her, "Take some of this medicine, it can calm you down, and you don't have to be too sad."

"I don't want to eat anything now..." Shen Aojun looked haggard and had lost weight. He had a small frame to begin with, and now he was as thin as a paper man.

"If you don't want to eat, then why don't you eat something for Lord Shen?" Gu Yunru knew that mentioning Lord Shen at this moment would be a blow to her, but there was no other way. In order to make her face the reality, she had to do this.

"Why...why is it like this?" Shen Aojun cried, and clear tears flowed from her eyes again. Seeing her so sad and haggard, Gu Yunru quickly put the bowl aside.

"Aojun, please don't cry. My heart trembles when you cry." Gu Yunru hurriedly patted her back, but her mood did not improve. She was still in tears and very sad. Her crying was so heartbreaking that it made people feel pity for her.

"Why didn't he come to see me?" She seemed to have thought of something important while crying, and her eyes were full of hatred. The moment Gu Yunru saw her eyes, she was really frightened. Shen Aojun, who was gentle and approachable by nature, had never looked at others with such eyes.

"Aojun, the waiter just came over and explained it to you clearly. He didn't see General Huang kill anyone personally, but when he walked in, Uncle Shen had already fallen into his arms. This means that Zijun might not have done it. Don't you believe him?"

Gu Yunru didn't want to cause the couple to become enemies. Now Shen Aojun was as jealous as a rabbit. It seemed that she had already determined that Huang Zijun was the cause of Uncle Shen's death. She was afraid that she would not listen to anything she said.

"Why doesn't he come and explain to me in person?" Shen Aojun raised her tear-stained face and looked at Gu Yunru. The melancholy in her eyes could not be dissipated. Gu Yunru's heart sank. She didn't know what Huang Zijun was doing at the moment. He might be tracking down the real murderer.

"Aojun, A Zhao and General Huang will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. The man was assassinated as soon as he arrived in Yangzhou, which shows that this matter was deliberately planned by someone." Gu Yunru explained the interests involved to her, but Shen Aojun didn't want to hear anything at the moment. She just wanted Huang Zijun to explain to her what was going on.

"Ao Jun..."

"You go out first. I want to be alone." Shen Aojun's pale lips moved slightly as he spoke these words powerlessly. There was an icy coldness in his voice and indifference in his eyes, as if he no longer trusted anyone.

"You have to take the medicine well no matter what, not for others but for Uncle Shen. He certainly doesn't want to see you looking so haggard and sad." Gu Yunru sighed deeply, then turned and left, and called two servants to wait at the door. If they found anything wrong, they should report to her immediately.

She had not received any news from Qingfeng during the days she had been in Yangzhou, so she came to the study, which was a large courtyard that local officials had specially vacated for Rong Zhen.

Seeing that he was concentrating on writing something, Gu Yunru lowered her head and walked to his side with light steps.
