"Your Highness, it seems that this matter is indeed true." Gu Yunru also guided him with words. Rong Zhen put down his hands sadly and lost, and knelt beside the pile of bones.

Rong Zhen lowered his head, but his shoulders kept twitching. This was the first time Gu Yunru saw him cry. All these years of waiting had gone to waste...

"Prince, what you should do now is to ask the emperor for the military power again. Those evildoers from the foreign country will soon attack the city." The eunuch whispered beside Rong Zhen. It was obvious that the eunuch and the emperor were in cahoots and were making a big show in the prince's palace.

However, this eunuch is also thinking about Da Qi, and the emperor also wants to use this method to allow Rong Zhen to regroup and lead the troops into battle.

"We have said what we should say. Your Majesty, please consider it yourself." The white-haired eunuch said, and then left first. Watching the mighty team leaving the palace, Shen Aojun brought Cui'er into the palace.

When they saw this scene in the yard, they were both shocked.

"Ah Xin, what is going on?"

Shen Aojun came to Ashin and asked in a low voice, Rong Zhen seemed to be in great pain, holding the pile of bones and doing something unknown.

This was the first time Shen Aojun looked at him and finally cried out loud. In order to prevent the servants from seeing it, she asked everyone to disperse first.

"What happened to Ashin? Tell me quickly."

No one dared to disturb Rong Zhen, so Shen Aojun could only pull Ah Xin to a pavilion and ask about what happened today. It turned out that the emperor had sent people to find Gu Yunru's body, so he transported her back to the palace. This was really cruel.

"You mean Yunru is really dead?"

Gu Yunru didn't want to tell everyone that she was still alive. To her, it was a fact that she couldn't face. So many people were sad for him, but she really didn't understand what everyone was saying.

Look at Shen Aojun, she has so much gray hair from working so hard for the restaurant and the shop, but all she does is escape, which is far less than what she has paid for.

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Aojun asked, looking at her strange face. She shook her head in a trance and looked ahead, saying, "Nothing. You should go and comfort the prince. The prince must be feeling very uncomfortable right now."

"You're right. I have to go and enlighten him."

Shen Aojun was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and turned around, with an indescribable complex emotion in his eyes.

On the other hand, the Queen Mother learned that Princess Dongping had returned to the Chu Mansion, so she arranged for the Chu family to have a small gathering in the harem. After hearing the news, Gu Yunru was also invited to join the gathering because she had to take care of the princess' illness and couldn't let the princess go crazy in front of so many people.

Gu Yunru, Shu'er and Tingya were sitting in the carriage. Seeing that Tingya was still in a trance, Gu Yunru made a wreath and put it on her head, then smiled at her and said, "Princess, is this beautiful?"

"Beautiful..." Tingya looked like a lovable child at this moment. Shu'er was holding her arm, but Tingya didn't seem to want her to get close. Such a mother-daughter relationship was really incredible.

I don’t know how Rong Zhen is doing now, but with Shen Aojun’s comfort, he should be able to recover.

Shen Aojun had been cooking soup every day for ten years. She stood at Rong Zhen's door, knocked on it and said, "My Lord, if you don't let me in, I will stand at the door all day."

She has always been such a stubborn and obstinate person. Rong Zhen put the pile of bones in an exquisite box and placed it on the bed in the house, feeling as if he was with Gu Yunru. Ten years had passed, but he did not expect that what he waited for was a pile of bones. He felt heartbroken.

The person at the door still didn't leave, and Rong Zhen was really annoyed.

She pushed the door open directly. Shen Aojun almost hit him on the chest with her fist. He looked haggard and there was a dark spot under his eyes. She thought he must not have gotten enough rest yesterday.

"Your Highness, someone in the palace reported that the Queen Mother is going to hold a small family banquet. Please go there and ask the Emperor to return the military power."

The most important thing is to get the military power back. The Queen Mother also wants to take this opportunity to let the two brothers repair their relationship. For ten years, the two brothers have hardly spoken a word to each other, and Rong Zhen has been decadent in the mansion all day long studying some inexplicable things.

"I understand." Rong Zhen slammed the door shut. Shen Aojun's whole body trembled. Cui'er stood beside him with her brows tightly frowned. Her young lady had sacrificed so much for him, but in return she was treated coldly one after another. She really felt it was not worth it for her.

However, Rong Zhen was finally willing to enter the palace with her. Shen Aojun was indescribably happy. The two of them sat in the carriage. Shen Aojun took out the pea yellow cake and said softly to him, "This is Yunru's favorite cake when she was alive. Today I plan to borrow the imperial kitchen to make these cakes again."

Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Aojun didn't want to make trouble, so she packed up the pastries and looked outside the carriage silently.

On the other side, Gu Yunru, the princess, the county lord and others have already entered the harem. Unexpectedly, there have not been many changes in the palace. Compared with the prince's mansion, the imperial palace makes her feel more familiar. She has not set foot in this place for more than ten years. When she came in again, an indescribable emotion surged in her heart, and her eyes were even moist.

Tingya tightly grasped Gu Yunru's arm. Coming to this strange place made her feel scared. Gu Yunru patted her on the back and said, "Don't be afraid, Princess. This is where you grew up. Have you forgotten the Queen Mother?"

Shu'er watched Miss Ashin's every move and found that she was different from the other doctors. She seemed to have been to the palace before, because she knew which direction the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace led to without the eunuchs in the palace leading the way. She couldn't help but doubt her origins.

"Miss Axin, do you know which way to the Cining Palace without a eunuch leading the way?" Shu'er suddenly said behind her. Gu Yunru quickly stopped and almost exposed herself in front of everyone.

With an awkward smile on his face, he turned around and said, "Master Chu has already explained it before I came here, so it's not very difficult."

"Oh? Really?" Shu'er looked at her with suspicion. Gu Yunru felt uncomfortable all over under her flickering eyes, and she felt like she was about to get goose bumps.
