"Well... I bought a Tianshan Snow Lotus from the pharmacy, but I need to put a drop of your blood in the center of the flower stamen water. After all, you and the princess are biological mother and daughter, so I think using your blood as a medicine can help the princess regain her sanity."

When he mentioned using her blood, her expression suddenly became panicked and terrified. Seeing her subconsciously put her hands behind her back, he looked at her face curiously, trying to find the flaw in her eyes.

"I'll get it for you personally later. How much do you want?" Shu'er asked without thinking. Gu Yunru touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "You don't need too much. Half a bowl will be enough." Shu'er almost fainted when she heard this. In order to feed those poisonous insects, she had to shed a lot of blood every day.

When I heard Gu Yunru say that he wanted half a bowl of blood, I almost fainted. My body was already weak.

"It's just a joke and you don't need so much. Just dye the stamen red. I'll give it to you. Well, I'll come and get it before the sun sets. That should be no problem, right?" Gu Yunru raised an eyebrow at her and looked at her mysterious expression. He didn't know if she had any unspeakable secrets. She took it with a little difficulty and nodded at her.

That night, Gu Yunru was about to report to Shen Aojun because she had already obtained the result. When she arrived at the side room, she found that only Rong Zhen was there. He was sitting alone at the table, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Under his bottomless pupils, some unpredictable emotions like overlapping clouds slowly unfolded. Gu Yunru approached him timidly, and seeing pressed duck and borscht on the table, she couldn't help swallowing.

These were her favorite dishes before. She didn't expect Rong Zhen to still keep this habit. Seeing this, she couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart, and an indescribable emotion welled up. She sat down in front of him in a panic, watching Rong Zhen personally pour her a glass of wine. She was flattered and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to do this. I can do it myself."

Gu Yunru's mouth was grinning from ear to ear. After pouring the wine, she took the duck leg and started to eat it in an ungraceful manner. Rong Zhen watched her every move. She was so much like that person, whether it was the eyes or the actions. A person's habits are difficult to change.

"What's your master's name?" Rong Zhen asked expressionlessly. Gu Yunru looked into his eyes fearlessly. Her calm expression emanated a kind of self-confidence. She swallowed the duck meat in her mouth and drank a cup of tea to calm herself. She saw that his scrutinizing eyes revealed a hint of doubt. It turned out that he began to doubt her identity.

"His name is Bian Que and you wouldn't know him even if I told you..." Gu Yunru made up a name casually. Anyway, no one could verify it.

"What kind of bird is Bian Que?" When Rong Zhen heard the name, a strange look appeared on his face. His thick eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and he looked at the girl Ashin in front of him who was eating without any image.

"It's not a bird, it's a person's name. My master is a rural itinerant doctor, not famous, so you city people have never heard of him, it's normal." Gu Yunru looked at him seriously, and in a blink of an eye, he cleared the salted duck on the plate, burped with satisfaction, and said to him with a fist: "Thank you for the hospitality, Your Highness. I was so busy eating that I forgot to talk about business. Shu'er is really Shu'er. The blood of mother and daughter is completely mixed. They are biological mother and daughter."

Seeing Rong Zhen's expression as if he had known about this for a long time, Gu Yunru wiped his greasy mouth and said, "Your Highness, this is what Miss Shen asked me to do. Now that it has been done, you don't have to suspect that she is the assassin, right?"

Gu Yunru watched Rong Zhen being suspicious all day long, and sooner or later pushing everyone around him into the fire pit, and his temper became worse and worse.

Seeing Rong Zhen silent, with a look of hurt in his eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he was so absorbed in it. He stretched out his hand and boldly waved it in front of him, but he suddenly raised his eyes and said in a low voice with a hint of threat, "You are so brave, aren't you afraid of death?"

As if she was really angry, Gu Yunru quickly stood up, grabbed her ears and lowered her head and said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't be disrespectful in front of the prince."

Just as she was about to listen to his scolding, she saw him suddenly laugh. The meaning of this laugh was confusing. No one knew whether it was from the heart or out of disdain. After all, he did not claim to punish her. Instead, he asked her to sit down and continue drinking. Gu Yunru's pounding heart finally returned to its normal pace.

"Your Highness, you are a prince after all. You can't neglect your duties. Seeing those foreigners using witchcraft to invade Da Qi, are you really going to sit back and do nothing?" After hearing what Shen Aojun said, Rong Zhen wanted to find Gu Yunru.

As he neglected the affairs of state, the emperor was furious and took away his military power. Now he is just a prince in name only, without any real power. He is so listless every day. It seems that Gu Yunru is really a beauty who brings disaster.

Just at this moment, someone came from the palace.

They said they had something important to report to the prince. A dead body was dragged into the yard, and it was wrapped in a straw mat. But now there was only a pile of bones left. The straw mat had been lifted up, and an indescribable smell filled the yard. Gu Yunru pinched her nose and stood behind Rong Zhen. The eunuch in charge said, "Prince, this is the body of Princess Zhao that the emperor sent people to find. The body was found at the foot of Zizhulin Mountain."

The eunuch said it seriously. Looking at the pile of bones, Gu Yunru was dumbfounded. When did he die? It seemed that the emperor had specially found a dead body to replace Rong Zhen in order to appease his obsession. In this way, Rong Zhen would no longer have any unnecessary hope. Gu Yunru felt cold in his heart. It seemed that everyone had tried their best to ease Rong Zhen's feelings of missing his wife.

"Sir, what evidence do you have to prove that this is the lady?" Rong Zhen was extremely calm and asked the question in a nonchalant manner. Gu Yunru was behind Rong Zhen and saw a hint of anger in his eyes.

"I wonder if Your Highness remembers this?" The eunuch took out a golden handkerchief from his sleeve, which contained a pair of pearl earrings. These were the gifts that Rong Zhen had given to Gu Yunru on their wedding night, and he had put them on her ears himself. Gu Yunru subconsciously touched her bare earlobes, as she was not wearing anything now.

"Pearl earrings..." Rong Zhen was quickly brought into the scene as he looked at the item. Thinking of the various scenes ten years ago, and looking at the pile of bones on the ground, he grabbed his father-in-law's collar and asked angrily, "Where did you dig this out from? Did my brother lie to me?!"
