The eunuch went in with a smile on his face and reported. The emperor was holding a chess piece in his hand. Suddenly he lost his concentration and the chess piece rolled to the ground. Rong Zhen, who came in, picked it up and bent over to put it on the ground.

"You are finally here. I thought you didn't want to come to the palace to see me." The emperor suddenly smiled bitterly and sighed. The situation on the chessboard has entered a white-hot stage and no one can break it.

"Brother Emperor, can you please let me sit opposite you?"

"Of course you can. I forgot how long it has been since we two brothers played chess like this."

The emperor sighed and motioned for him to sit down.

Rong Zhen directly placed the black words on the chessboard. Seeing that the game on the board had already been formed, he must have spent some time studying it here.

The scene changed, Shu'er was coaxing the Queen Mother to sleep, gently rocking her with a palm-leaf fan. The Queen Mother saw her kneeling beside the bed and serving her, and she couldn't sleep. She opened her eyes and looked at her and said, "Shu'er, you don't need to serve here anymore, you can go down first."

"Grandmother, Shu'er hasn't seen you for a long time. Can't you let me show my filial piety to you?" Shu'er had a sweet smile on her face and looked at her innocently.

The Queen Mother sighed softly. She didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed and Shu'er had grown into a big girl.

"Shu'er, your mother is a pitiful person. You must take good care of her. Although she doesn't recognize you now, I believe that she will remember you one day."

"What the Empress Dowager said is right. Shu'er thinks so too." Shu'er pursed her lips and smiled, and took out a small black box from her sleeve. Inside was an ordinary Gu. If it entered the Empress Dowager's body, it could also indirectly control her.

Just as I was hesitating whether to take action, I heard footsteps approaching from the door.

"Miss Axin, the Queen Mother has gone to bed."

Nanny Hua at the door saw Gu Yunru coming with the princess and left, then went forward to tell them that the queen mother had gone to bed and would probably sleep until the evening to attend the banquet.

"Well, Princess, let's go somewhere else." Gu Yunru spoke to her in a childish voice as if she was coaxing a child. Tingya was holding the lotus in her hands and seemed to like sticking with her very much.

Shu'er finally couldn't bear to put the Gu on the empress dowager, so she left when she saw that she had fallen asleep.

"Mother." Shu'er saw Tingya coming over and walked towards her with a simple smile on her face, but she didn't expect that Tingya would look at her with a very strange expression.

"Don't be afraid, Princess. She won't eat you." Seeing her curled up in her arms like a frightened deer, Gu Yunru patted her back comfortingly.

A few of them walked for a while in the nearby imperial garden. Tingya was obviously a little tired and kept shouting that she wanted to rest, so Gu Yunru personally sent her to the hall and asked several maids to take care of her. If there was anything, they should call her first.

Shu'er followed Gu Yunru when she had nothing to do. Seeing that she seemed quite familiar with the roads here, she became suspicious.

"Why do I feel like you seem to be quite familiar with the route to the palace?"

Hearing Shu'er's doubts, I didn't expect that they had not been dispelled since the moment she entered the palace.

"What does the princess want to say? Do you think that I followed the princess with a plan?" Gu Yunru turned around and looked at her in confusion, only to see her suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, put her hands behind her back, and walked in front with her head held high to lead the way.

"I just don't want anyone to hurt my mother."

Shu'er's words have a special meaning, and any smart person should be able to understand them. Gu Yunru nodded slightly, not thinking that this sentence was deliberately targeted. He walked side by side with Shu'er, looking at the vast scenery, and suddenly exclaimed.

"The princess has become like this because she misses her daughter. I believe she will recognize you, Shu'er, one day." When Shu'er heard what Miss Ashin said, a complex emotion welled up in her eyes, but soon, it subsided.

"I'd really like to hear about what happened to my mother in the past." Shu'er felt more and more as if she were the princess's biological daughter. There seemed to be a blood relationship that bound them together.

"Okay." Gu Yunru told her about the past generously. At that time, she, Shen Aojun, Ting Ya and others formed an iron triangle and monopolized all the business in the city. The catering industry was developed by them from beginning to end, and many foreign businessmen came to participate in their operations.

Shu'er listened carefully, but she was a little confused. She really couldn't remember anything when she was six or seven years old. According to the master, she was taken away by a group of wolves.

"Miss Ashin, why can't I remember anything about my childhood?" Shu'er's mind was blank. Apart from what happened in the foreign country, she knew nothing else. Learning Gu was her most important course.

"It could also be a stress response, so you selectively forget your past memories. We'll have to wait and see." Gu Yunru didn't expect that Shu'er's memory also had a gap, and she was not sure enough to get Shu'er's memory back.

Gu Yunru's eyes showed a hint of deepness, and then she smiled gently and said, "Anyway, you two, mother and daughter, have finally reunited. God has finally opened his eyes."

"Yes, thank you, Miss Ashin." Shu'er said a few words to her, and suddenly saw a black figure flash by not far away. It must be a messenger from a foreign country coming to meet her.

"Shu'er, what's wrong with you?" Gu Yunru saw that she looked worried and asked with concern. Her eyes flashed and a hint of unnatural expression flashed across her face.

"Nothing. Shu'er just remembered that she wanted to go see how her mother is doing, so she'll leave first." Shu'er felt her head congested as soon as she stood up. Her legs went limp and she sat back down again. Gu Yunru supported her arm and took the opportunity to feel her pulse. He discovered that she was suffering from an imbalance of Qi and blood, and weak spleen and lungs.

"Shu'er, how do you feel?" Gu Yunru asked with concern. Seeing that her face was slightly pale, she didn't know why her qi and blood were so unbalanced.

"It's okay...it's an old problem." Shu'er smiled slightly. Not wanting her to notice anything unusual, she swept her hand away and stood up again with all her strength.

Seeing that she finally walked less unsteadily, Gu Yunru finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at her gradually disappearing back, he stroked his forehead helplessly.

Shu'er came to a relatively remote rockery and waited until the patrolling soldiers walked away before coming to the side of the man in black. The black man was none other than Miao Xiang. She had sneaked into the palace this time just to cooperate with her from inside and outside.

"How was it? No one found out, right?"
