Gu Yunru sat by the bed and brushed her hair across her forehead, saying, "Stop saying these words of gratitude. The most important thing right now is to clear your name. What exactly happened?"

Gu Yunru wanted to uncover the truth, but Biluo lowered her eyes and said innocently, "It happened two days ago. I was washing the clothes sent from Chuxiu Palace and sent them back to Chuxiu Palace. I didn't expect that Concubine Ying would get hot after putting them on and fainted."

At this point, Biluo's eyes would burst into tears, and she kept shaking her head, "I have received the favor of Concubine Ying, and Concubine Ying is kind and generous. There is really no reason for me to harm her in this way."

Rong Zhen sat aside and seemed nonchalant, but in fact he had already heard the conversation between the two. He usually wouldn't care about these trivial intrigues. If Gu Yunru didn't want to get involved, he wouldn't stay with her in this place.

"So, Concubine Shu sent someone to arrest you?"

Biluo nodded, crying heartbrokenly, her face full of tear marks, the redness and swelling in her eyes had not yet disappeared.

"Don't cry, I believe you won't harm Yingpin. It's just that the banquet is about to begin, and I can't spare the time to go to Chuxiu Palace for the time being. Otherwise, I can go and see how Yingpin is doing now."

Biluo looked at Gu Yunru with tears in her eyes and said, "Miss, you have done so much for me. I have already understood it. Miss, please don't worry about Biluo's affairs."

Rong Zhen was upset when he heard this, so he stood up and walked out. Gu Yunru narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, I thought he was a cold-hearted person, but I didn't expect he didn't even have this much patience.

"Biluo, you should have a good rest first. With His Royal Highness Prince Zhao's protection, you will be fine. I'm leaving first. I will definitely visit Chuxiu Palace when I have time."

Biluo didn't take her words to heart, but she was sincerely grateful to Miss Gu for speaking up for her.

Gu Yunru caught up with Rong Zhen, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, why are you so cold-blooded? You didn't say a word in the room. Don't you see how pitiful she is?"

Rong Zhen slowly stopped, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. Gu Yunru took a step back in fear. Did she say something wrong again? "Do you know that things like this happen every day in the palace? You can save one Biluo, but can you save the next one?"

"So you knew she was innocent all along."

Gu Yunru looked at him as if she was looking at a clown. Were her actions really so absurd and ridiculous?

“It doesn’t matter whether or not you did it.”

"That won't work. If she is innocent, she must be cleared of all charges. I believe that Her Majesty Shufei will not watch others die in vain."

Gu Yunru spoke confidently, but it did not resonate with him. It seemed that this guy lacked some empathy.

"I say, since you don't want to take care of this matter, then why do you come to the laundry department?"

Gu Yunru followed behind him, asking questions incessantly.

"I brought you into the palace, and I don't want you to embarrass me."

"you!"

Gu Yunru was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. This guy’s EQ is really too low.

Everyone has taken their seats and the banquet is about to begin. Listening to the slow and melodious music of instruments, Gu Yunru closed her eyes with a leisurely look on her face. She quietly opened one eye to observe the changes in everyone present.

The man in the yellow dragon robe should be the current emperor. He looks majestic and quite similar to Rong Zhen, but one has a gentle temperament while the other is imposing. Overall, they are somewhat different.

While Gu Yunru was observing the emperor, the emperor also shifted his gaze to Gu Yunru's face. The moment they looked at each other, she quickly lowered her head.

"Brother, come, I will have a drink with you."

It turned out that the emperor said this to Rong Zhen. Gu Yunru breathed a sigh of relief. She just wanted to be an unknown and transparent person in the scene, and it would be best if no one discovered her.

"Her Majesty the Concubine has arrived!"

The young eunuch outside the door raised his voice, attracting everyone's attention. The legendary Concubine Shu was about to come. Gu Yunru raised her eyes with some curiosity, and sure enough, a woman in a gorgeous robe walked in from outside, wearing gold and silver jewelry on her head, very ostentatious, with arrogance and coldness between her eyebrows.

Zi Yan, who was beside Concubine Shu, recognized Gu Yunru instantly. She helped the empress back to her seat and whispered a few words in her ear. Concubine Shu then shifted her sharp gaze to Gu Yunru's face.

Gu Yunru felt her whole body go numb when Concubine Shu looked at her. Concubine Shu was indeed very majestic. Even a glance from her could make people feel terrified. It seemed that anyone in the palace would be in danger if they offended her.

"I haven't seen Prince Zhao for a long time. The emperor always thinks of you. But the person sitting next to you is Gu Yunru, the eldest daughter of the Gu family?"

Gu Yunru had a bad feeling in her heart. The Concubine Shu looked at Rong Zhen, but frequently glanced at Gu Yunru's face, obviously wanting to get to know Gu Yunru.

"Exactly."

Rong Zhen's words were very brief. This banquet was considered a family gathering, but several princes and ministers were also invited to celebrate with the princess.

"Why is Miss Gu still wearing a veil? Is there some smell in this palace that makes you feel uncomfortable?"

Concubine Shu looked at Gu Yunru's slightly pale face with a cold look.

Gu Yunru raised her head somewhat awkwardly, thinking about how to respond to Concubine Shu's words, only to see Rong Zhen beside her saying, "Your child has developed a cough, and she is afraid of affecting the Zhou people, so she wears a veil."

The emperor watched this interaction in the audience. It seemed that his younger brother had finally come to his senses and actually knew how to protect his fiancée.

"So that's how it is. I happen to have some loquat paste from the Western Regions that can moisten your throat. Miss Gu, please go to the Millennium Palace to get it after the banquet."

Gu Yunru's palms broke out in cold sweat. The more she didn't want to go, the more she unexpectedly had to go.

"Thank you, Madam Shufei." Gu Yunru said the words of gratitude with gritted teeth. Rong Zhen whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, she won't dare to do anything to you."

Rong Zhen confronted Shufei with his eyes, as if to say that no one can touch my woman, and she felt uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

The emperor saw that everyone in the hall had not yet arrived, and looked at the small stool beside him and asked, "What's wrong with the princess?"

"In reply to the emperor, the eldest princess is on the way."

"Never mind. The Queen Mother is praying and chanting in the Buddhist temple, and Concubine Ying has a fever and is recuperating in the palace. Fortunately, Concubine Shu is in charge of all matters in the palace. Concubine Shu, I should toast you with this glass of wine."

"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. This is what I should do." Concubine Shu hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and before she had time to look at the emperor, she swallowed the wine.
