Gu Yunru breathed a sigh of relief, took the purse in his hand and went to the restaurant.

"Where did you come from, beggar? Our dishes are the most famous in the capital. Can you afford it?" The waiter saw a woman dressed so shabbily trying to come in, wrapping herself up like a dumpling, and wanted to kick her out without saying a word.

"This." Gu Yunru threw the purse in her hand directly into his arms. The waiter was blinded by the money and quickly invited her to sit in the superior seat. Looking at the menu, she found that some dishes were very innovative. She had not been back to this place for seven years, and everything had changed.

"Bring out all of your signature dishes, and a pot of girl's red wine." Gu Yunru's voice was noticeably older. Even though the waiter recognized Gu Yunru before, he couldn't recognize her voice anymore. He nodded and bowed, took back the menu, and began to prepare the dishes.

Gu Yunru was bored and happened to see Shen Aojun and Rong Zhen upstairs. She didn't know what they were talking about, but they looked very intimate. Shen Aojun supported Rong Zhen's arm and walked down step by step.

When she saw Rong Zhen, her heart started beating again. She quickly turned her face away, but her eyes had unknowingly turned red.

She secretly warned herself not to reveal any flaws or reveal any signs at this critical moment, and not to shed tears. She sat at the table with a calm face.

"Brother Rong, the doctor said that you should take a walk outside and come back at this time every day. This will help your recovery." Shen Aojun supported him with one hand and helped him down from the upstairs with great effort.

Gu Yunru was sitting at the table and heard the conversation between the two. She felt very confused. Could it be that Rong Zhen was injured?

Rong Zhen looked slightly sad, sighed softly, and said, "I'm afraid my leg is already useless."

"Brother Rong, please don't say that. The imperial physician said that as long as you take good care of yourself, you'll be fine." Shen Aojun supported him vigorously, and seeing that he was unsteady on his balance, he quickly helped him to sit in an empty seat on the side, only a foot away from Gu Yunru.

"Brother Rong, if you are too tired, then sit down and rest for a while."

Shen Aojun was considerate enough to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief. If outsiders didn't know, they would definitely think that this couple was a couple. Seven years had passed, and Rong Zhen's appearance had changed dramatically.

The expression seemed to become more stubborn and resolute, and there were a few more white strands in his hair. It was true that time was unforgiving.

"Brother Rong, no matter what, as long as we survive, there is hope of finding Yunru. You insist on studying that aircraft day and night, but it's not worth it." Shen Aojun advised earnestly, knowing that he was stubborn and would not listen to her. Now he has neglected the affairs of state, and even the military power in his hands has changed hands. If he continues like this, he may be in danger of losing his life.

When Gu Yunru was holding the wine glass, it suddenly shook and the wine spilled all over the table. She quickly pretended nothing happened and wiped it with a handkerchief.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. I'm a useless person anyway." A trace of helplessness flashed across Rong Zhen's resolute face, and a sarcastic smile slowly escaped from the corner of his mouth, but Shen Aojun was frightened by his words and looked anxious.

"Please don't say that. The Emperor and the Queen Mother only distrust you temporarily. When you regain your strength one day, the military power will be handed over to you again. Foreign countries have been harassing the surrounding areas of Da Qi in recent years. No one can quell this war. If you don't hold on, I'm afraid..."

Shen Aojun's words reached Gu Yunru's ears. It turned out that the atmosphere had not been peaceful in the past few years. She had been studying Gu in the mountains and knew that there was a strange man in a foreign country who was good at using Gu to control other people's minds and confuse other people's formations. It was because of this that Da Qi was repeatedly defeated when it went on an expedition.

"Ahem." Gu Yunru coughed and attracted Shen Aojun's attention. Looking at this strangely dressed beggar, wasn't she the woman he bumped into this morning? Tianzi No. 1 Restaurant was the most famous restaurant in Daqi. Only the rich and the noble could come in to eat. It seemed that she was using the money that was given to her to eat.

"Greetings, young master. Greetings, young lady. Thank you." Gu Yunru walked up to the two of them and greeted them in a pinched voice. Shen Aojun looked at her in confusion, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"I have been learning medicine from my master since I was young. When I came to Da Qi, I got separated from my master. Thanks to the money donated by this young lady, I was able to have a full meal. I also heard you talking with this young master. It seems that the young master's leg injury must be an accident."

After hearing what the mysterious woman said, Shen Aojun said with a vigilant look on his face: "You actually eavesdropped on my conversation with this young master!" A loud cry was heard as if a silver bottle had suddenly broken. Gu Yunru hurriedly waved his hand to show his sincerity and walked forward and said: "Can I take this young master's pulse?"

Rong Zhen didn't care, but he felt very strange that the woman only showed her eyes. Before he saw the woman's background clearly, he would not let a strange woman touch him easily.

"Take off your veil first." Rong Zhen didn't like someone being so mysterious to him, but he became a little interested in the background of this woman.

"......Yeah." Gu Yunru took off several layers of cloth on her face. She had already learned the art of facial illusion in the mountains. All the scars on her face disappeared. What replaced it was another piece of skin, which she cut from her thigh and filled on the surface of her skin. So her facial features looked different from before, and she looked like another person.

Shen Aojun always felt that this woman's eyes were somewhat familiar, but suddenly he couldn't remember what it was. He looked at this mysterious woman with a scrutinizing gaze, "You said you were separated from your master. You are not from a foreign country, are you?"

"Of course not. We were also harmed by the war, so we became homeless and lived on the streets. Thanks to this girl for saving us."

Gu Yunru pretended to clasp his fists and bow with a look of sincere gratitude, but then he looked at Rong Zhen's scrutinizing gaze and shifted his eyes away unnaturally.

Seeing Rong Zhen no longer talking, Gu Yunru walked forward generously, put her hand on his pulse, and listened carefully to the sound of his pulse. A sinister look gradually appeared on her face, which made Shen Aojun feel unnatural.

"Have you noticed any problem?" Shen Aojun asked as he sat aside. Gu Yunru quickly withdrew his hand with a faint smile on his face. "The problem can be big or small. This young man's leg injury should not have been caused in one go. If you want to treat it, you must start from the root."
