Miao Xiang didn't expect that she would ask this question out of the blue. She was not prepared to answer and just evaded the question with two sentences, "Don't worry about it. Princess Dongping was probably crushed to death when she was seven years old."

"Really? But I always feel that the way they look at me is as if they are really looking at Princess Dongping. Master, you are not lying to me, are you?" Shu'er has always been suspicious of her origins, but no one can tell her for sure where she is from. She doesn't look like a foreigner, and the lifestyle of foreigners is simply not something she can get used to.

Unexpectedly, what was supposed to happen finally happened. Miao Xiang knew that she would definitely doubt her identity, so she gently stroked her face, slowly put her hand on the back of her neck, and said to her in a puzzled tone: "Lan'er, you can't not believe in the master. The master is the most trustworthy person in your life."

After that, while she wasn't paying attention, she inserted a poisonous insect the size of a finger into her body. This poisonous insect could turn a person into their darkest side, and only then would Lan'er completely obey her orders and no longer doubt her life experience.

"Did you understand what Master Lan'er said to you?"

Miao Xiang caressed her face gently, and every word lingered in her ears, like a soft music that completely bewitched her. Shu'er nodded blankly, her eyes cloudy, and after a while, her face returned to seriousness.

Just then, Miao Xiang heard footsteps coming, snapped her fingers in front of her, blew a breath at her and said, "Someone is coming, do you know what to do?" Shu'er nodded with half-closed eyes, her eyes lit up, and shot out a sharp light.

"Shu'er!" Seeing that she was lacking in energy and blood, Gu Yunru specially got some red dates, hoping to replenish her energy and blood, so that she would not feel dizzy for no reason. Looking at her staring at the rockery alone, he didn't know what she was doing, as if she was performing some secret sacrifice.

"Shu'er, I brought you some red dates. They are very sweet. Eat a few first. You should eat about one pound every day in the future." Gu Yunru just handed the red dates to her, but saw that her eyes were cold, exactly the same as the angry Rong Zhen, which made people feel chilled. There was a loud bang in their heads, and then the red dates in their hands were ruthlessly knocked to the ground by her.

Her moody look made her heart tremble. Seeing her turn around and leave without saying a word, she chased after her and shouted, "Shu'er...Shu..."

Unexpectedly, Shu'er seemed like a different person, especially her indifferent look just now. She had no choice but to pick up the red dates scattered on the ground, but she always felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind. Every time she turned around, the eyes disappeared. Could it be that she was mentally ill due to too much pressure in the past few days?

As night fell, the Queen Mother had already stood up and had one hundred and eight dishes prepared, which were placed on a long table, and everyone was asked to sit around it.

"Today, all the children of my royal family are finally gathered together, and Shu'er is finally back. Fortunately, God has a good vision and allows an old woman like me to see my granddaughter before I die." The Queen Mother spoke first. Looking at the large group of princesses and princes who were gathered around, she was far from being as happy as just one princess. Several princes and princesses all had their own concerns.

Gu Yunru concentrated for a moment, she didn't expect that in the past ten years, the emperor had so many princes and princesses, all of whom were extraordinary. Some of them had already reached the age of marriage, but since the foreigners came to harass them, these princes and princesses were also prepared for danger.

"Come on, hurry up, let's all be happy." The Queen Mother arranged for everyone to raise their glasses to celebrate. Ting Ya sat next to Gu Yunru and kept clamoring for rice cakes.

"Okay, Princess, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some rice cakes." In order to cater to her temper, Gu Yunru left first. She was busy making rice cakes with glutinous rice flour in the kitchen when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from behind.

I thought it was the elusive Rong Zhen, but it turned out to be the sneaky Shu'er. I didn't know what she was going to do, so I immediately dodged to the side and hid.

Thinking back to this afternoon, in the Imperial Garden, she seemed to be possessed by something, which was very strange. I felt that something was very strange, so I hid aside and watched the changes. Sure enough, I saw her take out a beautifully shaped small box from her sleeve, and took out a Gu from it. This Gu was quite old and was full of fat.

What Shu'er did next stunned her. She immediately reached out and covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. She watched her cut her finger and feed the blood. No wonder she was short of energy and blood every day. It turned out that she was feeding the Gu.

But why did she do that?

Gu Yunru didn't want to disturb her, so she decided to follow her quietly. However, she lost her halfway through. At this moment, a big hand patted her shoulder. Gu Yunru was so scared that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she quickly turned her head away.

"Your Highness... why did you come out too?" Gu Yunru's heart was pounding so hard that it almost reached her throat. Rong Zhen had always been elusive and there was no sound when he walked. No wonder she reacted so strongly when she heard him.

"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Weren't you in the kitchen making rice cakes? Why did you run out?" Rong Zhen lowered his eyebrows and looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, trying to find a flaw in her eyes and expression. Gu Yunru was speechless for a moment, then smiled and said, "I was going to look for ingredients, but I accidentally got lost..."

Gu Yunru cursed inwardly, but Rong Zhen's mind-reading ability seemed to have improved even more. She had to pretend nothing had happened so as not to be discovered.

She was anxious to follow Shu'er at this moment, and she didn't know where Shu'er had gone.

"You don't look like you're looking for ingredients when you're being so sneaky."

"Um... Prince, you are not doubting me, are you?" Gu Yunru looked at him with her big, innocent eyes, with helplessness and innocence in her eyes.

"I never said I would suspect you. Why are you making such a fuss?" Rong Zhen sneered, and seemed to notice some movement nearby. He quickly pulled her into a woodshed.

"Hey... this is not good, what are you going to do?" Gu Yunru thought he had some evil intentions, and he actually dragged her into the woodshed in public. The room was pitch black, and no one could see what he was going to do? At this time, Gu Yunru's heartbeat was getting louder and louder, and the ambiguous breathing of the two people could be heard in the room. Rong Zhen was concentrating on listening to the movement outside, and he realized that a black shadow had jumped down from the eaves.
