"Shh, if you keep talking too much, I'll cut off your tongue." Rong Zhen threatened. Gu Yunru quickly covered her mouth, fearing that her tongue would fall out of her mouth in the next second. Rong Zhen still had such a weird temper.
Seeing the black shadow escaping from here, Rong Zhen quietly opened the door and left Gu Yunru alone in the woodshed. Gu Yunru's eyes turned and she hurriedly followed.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Gu Yunru showed a slightly sad expression and frowned. She didn't expect that Rong Zhen would be so disregarding of her life and death and just throw her into this lonely place.
On the other side, Shen Aojun was trying to find Rong Zhen, but after searching for many times, he still couldn't see him. He looked at the moon in the distance in confusion and said, "Where on earth would the prince go?"
"Miss, don't worry. The prince is such a grown man, can't he take care of his own safety? But you, miss, are so worried about the prince, but he may not appreciate it." Cui'er kept complaining all the way, thinking that the young lady was really stupid to give so much for a man who had no feelings for her.
Gu Yunru was just about to leave when he found Shen Aojun rushing over from the other side and heard his conversation with Cui'er. Shen Aojun really loved Rong Zhen, so much that she was willing to sacrifice everything for him. Such feelings really made her feel ashamed.
"Cui'er, don't say such things next time."
"Miss……"
"Okay, I'm tired. Tell me after you find the prince. Go back to the palace with him early tomorrow morning." Shen Aojun's eyes were full of sadness and fatigue. After giving the order, he left first. Cui'er couldn't help stamping her feet on the spot, still muttering to herself.
A flash of light flashed through Gu Yunru's mind. Thinking of this, she decided to find Shu'er as soon as possible. She was acting sneaky and must be doing something again. Besides, Rong Zhen was chasing the man in black all the way to the backyard, but she didn't expect him to disappear quickly into the night.
Seeing Rong Zhen standing motionless in the yard, like a clay sculpture or wooden carving, Gu Yunru held her breath, not daring to go forward and disturb him rashly. She walked around him suspiciously, stretched out her hand in front of him, and waved it gently, "What's wrong with you? Did someone press your acupoints?"
"How did you get here? Did you see the man in black when you came here?" Rong Zhen was feeling strange. When he thought he was going to catch the man in black, he didn't expect that he would quickly blend into the night, silently, as if he had never been here.
"I just followed here out of curiosity. Are you looking for that man in black?" Gu Yunru blinked at him, but seeing his cold expression, she decided not to bother herself anymore.
"Hey, where are you going?" Seeing that he didn't say a word for a long time, Gu Yunru watched him turn around and leave coldly, and hurriedly followed his pace.
The two of them came to the imperial kitchen and saw that the rice cakes in the pot had turned into a paste, so they quickly took a spatula and took it out.
Gu Yunru was so burned that she quickly covered her earlobes, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him standing beside her with an expression that couldn't help laughing, pursed her lips and asked, "Why don't you go to the banquet right away? There are so many delicious foods there."
"I am not interested in those things. Why don't you make me a bowl of plain noodles?"
He thought of the strange and special midnight snacks that Gu Yunru loved to make for him. During the years when Gu Yunru was not around him, he had long forgotten what those snacks tasted like. Now, when he saw this clumsy woman, he found that she was somewhat similar to him.
Rong Zhen sat at the side with a majestic look. His words made Gu Yunru stunned. He had no choice but to add a few more firewood, and while making rice cakes, he put another bowl of noodles in it, put two eggs and a few green leaves on the bottom of the bowl, and brought it to him, "Your Highness, please enjoy."
Although it was just a simple bowl of plain noodles, the fragrance had spread throughout the entire house. Rong Zhen sniffed and felt that the smell was very familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a moment, so he took chopsticks and tasted a few bites.
"How is it, Your Majesty?" Gu Yunru rubbed her hands and waited for him to give her some praise, but she didn't expect his expression to become extremely ugly. He threw the noodles to the wolfhounds outside after only two bites. Seeing this, Gu Yunru's heart was broken into pieces. She hurriedly walked up to him and asked, "This is the noodles that people worked so hard to make for you. How can you throw it to the dogs?"
Gu Yunru glared at him unhappily. The dog ate the food deliciously, but Rong Zhen went back to the imperial kitchen as if nothing had happened. He turned around and said to her, "What you made is only fit for dogs. I'm tired and will go back to rest." These light words killed all her efforts. Gu Yunru stomped her feet in frustration. She looked exactly the same as before.
The princess personally delivered the rice cakes to Tingya's room. The banquet was over, but Tingya was like a child, clamoring for kimchi rice cakes, looking like she was not full. The two maids beside her watched the princess wolfing down the rice cakes and couldn't help but laugh: "The princess didn't eat much at the banquet just now, she was waiting for the rice cakes made by the young lady. It seems that the rice cakes made by the young lady are indeed very fragrant."
"Yes, the whole house is filled with the aroma of rice cakes made by the girl."
Everyone started to tease each other, and Gu Yunru felt a little embarrassed. She quickly patted Tingya on the back and said, "Eat slowly, and don't choke. There's still a lot in the small kitchen. If you want to eat, you can continue eating tomorrow morning, okay?"
"Okay, Yunru, eat too."
Thinking that Tingya was just talking casually, Gu Yunru was stunned. Could it be that Tingya had already discovered that she was Gu Yunru? The two maids did not recognize Gu Yunru and looked at each other curiously.

"Whose name is that, Princess?"
Gu Yunru quickly covered her face and said, "Nothing, nothing, you all go out first, I need to check the princess' pulse later."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Miss Shin."
The two maids left first, and seeing Tingya wolfing down the rice cakes, they hurriedly patted her back, looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "Tingya, did you recognize me?" Tingya was only focused on eating and didn't seem to hear her words.
"Oh, I'm really confused. How could you remember me? Your mind is like that of a three-year-old child. Sometimes you're better, sometimes you're worse. I don't know when I can cure you." Although Gu Yunru still had a smile on her face, her smile was getting colder and colder.
After she finished eating, he sighed and was about to clean up the dishes, but he saw Tingya grab his hand and said, "Yunru, don't leave. Can you play with Yaer for a while?"
