Chapter 36: The Unexpected



Luyun rushed in. Yingpin looked calm and composed. She coughed a few times and said with a pale face, "What happened? Why are you making such a fuss?"

"The princess is missing."

"What?"

Gu Yunru heard this and frowned.

"I heard that he was kidnapped, but no one has seen what that person looks like. The palace is under strict security inside and outside, and no one is allowed to leave."

"How could this happen? Aren't we supposed to practice for the princess today?"

Yingpin was also very surprised to hear the news.

At this time, another palace maid walked in, walked towards Yingpin, and then moved her gaze to Gu Yunru's face.

"I guess you are Miss Gu. His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is waiting for you outside the house."

"knew."

Gu Yunru waved her hand and asked her to leave first. She didn't expect that this guy was still waiting for her outside.

Concubine Ying didn't quite understand her relationship with Prince Zhao, and looked at Gu Yunru's face curiously.

"My lady, I apologize for disturbing you tonight."

"You're welcome. His Royal Highness Prince Zhao rarely comes to the palace. I didn't expect him to come today."

Gu Yunru noticed that Concubine Ying suddenly showed a rare expression of relief. It was the first time since she entered the sect that she had seen her look so surprised. Could it be that the person she liked was Rong Zhen? This thought frightened Gu Yunru, and she quickly put it behind her.

"Yes, Madam, it is better not to place this rootless flower in the house. No matter how fragrant it is, it still needs ventilation. I suggest you open more windows to ventilate the room. Madam, you should not stay in the house all the time during your illness. It is best to go out for a walk more often."

"Thank you for your help, Miss Gu."

Yingpin looked at her with gratitude, and this look was different from just now. There seemed to be a hint of complex emotions in her eyes. Thinking that she was being too sensitive, Gu Yunru lowered her eyes when she looked at her watery autumn eyes again.

"Then, Madam, I will take my leave for now."

"Luyun, send her off."

Gu Yunru did not refuse, but let Luyun follow her.

"What is the relationship between Miss Gu and His Royal Highness Prince Zhao?"

Luyun was walking beside her and couldn't help but ask a question, and this question made her more certain of her previous thought.

"The wife who has not yet married."

"I see."

After listening to this, Luyun nodded, and her expression became a little complicated, exactly the same as Yingpin's.

Gu Yunru saw through it but didn't say anything. She let her go back first after she delivered half of the goods.

"Why did you come out only now?" Rong Zhen's worried figure appeared in front of her, thinking that this girl had caused trouble again.

"I... just got excited and chatted with Concubine Ying for a while. Concubine Ying is really gentle and has a very nice voice."

"Yeah."

Gu Yunru looked into Rong Zhen's eyes and avoided him for the first time. It was different from her previous avoidance. When she treated his mental illness before, he had a natural tendency to reject the idea. But this time, he avoided her helplessly.

So she concluded that the two people must know each other.

"I heard that the princess is missing. What happened?" Gu Yunru remembered this and asked hurriedly.

It seemed that Rong Zhen took a long time to react, his eyes flickered, "How should I know, I have been waiting for you here all the time."

"Strange, the palace is so heavily guarded, who has the guts to kidnap the princess?" Gu Yunru couldn't figure it out. Thinking of the scenes she had seen in TV dramas before, could it be a martial arts master or an organization outside the palace? But what did they kidnap the princess for? "Let's go to the Yangxin Palace first. By the way, I have sent someone to the Millennium Palace to get your loquat paste back."

Rong Zhen knew that Gu Yunru was absolutely unwilling to go to the Millennium Palace, so he took the initiative to send someone to ask for the loquat paste back.

"That's great. I didn't expect your EQ is not low at all!" Gu Yunru excitedly blurted out a new word, which made him stare in amazement.

“What is emotional intelligence?”

"Well, it's IQ. It's about how well a person's brain works. I used to think you were a stubborn person, but I never thought that there would be a day when you would help me solve my troubles."

Gu Yunru was able to smile secretly in her heart, as she finally didn't have to look at Concubine Shu's resentful face.

"I just acted on my own initiative because I felt you were embarrassed." After Rong Zhen said this, he turned around with a cold face.

The two came to the Yangxin Palace. The banquet was over, but in order to prevent the assassin from escaping, the emperor ordered that the imperial city be strictly guarded inside and outside, and the guests who came to the banquet were arranged to stay in the best rooms.

"I see the emperor. Long live the emperor."

Gu Yunru came before the emperor and bowed politely. Just now at the banquet, she only glanced at the emperor roughly. Unexpectedly, when she got closer, she found that the emperor looked very gentle.

"No need to be polite. So you are Gu Yunru. Why didn't I see your father today?"

Gu Yunru didn’t know that her father would also come. She looked around for a while but didn’t see any sign of her father.

"I entered the palace with the prince, so I don't know much..." Gu Yunru shrank her neck and didn't know what to say to him, but it felt much better to talk to the emperor than to talk to this moody guy.

"Forget it, Emperor, take Miss Gu to the palace to rest first."

After hearing the order, Rong Zhen wanted to take her away from the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, but found that she looked like she was still not satisfied.

"Don't want to leave?" Rong Zhen came up behind her quietly, startling her. She swallowed her saliva with a guilty look on her face and said, "It's okay, I'm just curious. Your Majesty, do you see the assassin's shadow?"

Gu Yunru found that there were no signs of fighting here. The princess had not shown up from the beginning to now, and no one at the banquet had seen the princess appear.

"I didn't. I just found a letter in the princess's room saying that the princess was taken away. I have sent people to guard it strictly. Not even a fly can fly out."

Gu Yunru nodded and said, "I wonder if I can go to the princess's boudoir and take a look. Maybe I can find some clues."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was strongly opposed by Rong Zhen, "Why would a girl like you join in the fun? Let the people from the Ministry of War handle this kind of thing."

Gu Yunru frowned in displeasure. Why was this man so picky? She just wanted to help investigate the princess' clues, but he was yelling and looking down on her.

"Royal brother, it's alright, just take Miss Gu with you to have a look, maybe you can find something."
