"I wonder if the prince has any other instructions?"

"Recently, I have a severe headache. You go to my palace and wait for me later." Rong Zhen suddenly ordered, which made her confused. If it was a headache, wouldn't it be enough to ask the maid to massage it? She actually wasted his time.

"Yes." Although Gu Yunru rolled her eyes in her heart, she still pretended to agree on the surface. She went to the main hall to wait for him and prepared spices such as mugwort incense to ensure that he could sleep peacefully later.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Gu Yunru slowly turned her head and frowned as she looked at Rong Zhen who was always so elusive.

"Your Highness, please lie on the bamboo chair. I want to give you a massage." Gu Yunru put the sweat towel on her shoulders, looking like a waiter. Since coming to the capital, she has been like a servant, being ordered around by them. However, this also makes her feel painful and happy, because she is serving her own people.

"Okay." Rong Zhen closed his eyes, and his handsome face, like a sculpture, enlarged in front of her. Gu Yunru couldn't help swallowing and began to drip essential oil on his forehead for a facial massage.

"My Lord, is this strength okay?" Gu Yunru kneaded while her soul had long gone somewhere else. Rong Zhen seemed to sense her inattention and suddenly grabbed her wrist, causing her whole body to tremble.

"Your Highness..." Gu Yunru's pupils suddenly dilated, and her whole body was like a clay sculpture, allowing him to pull her into his arms and throw herself into his warm embrace again. Gu Yunru blinked in disbelief.

"How long do you want to hide this from me?" Rong Zhen had a wicked smile on his face. He gently held her chin, his voice calm and cold, with a hint of bewitching temptation.

"I don't know what the prince is talking about." Gu Yunru continued to play dumb and felt dry in her mouth. Could it be that he had discovered his true identity? "Although you have changed your face, your eyes and every move can't be hidden from this prince. After all, this prince has learned mind reading from you before, so he can be regarded as a master." Rong Zhen looked at her proudly and gently stroked her face. He found that although her skin was made seamless, there were often some small red bumps on her neck. It was obvious that she had rejection. She also asked the imperial physician specifically, what was going on? The imperial physician said that there was actually such an evil technique as skin replacement.

This made him even more convinced that the so-called Ashin girl in front of him was the real Gu Yunru, who just changed her appearance and re-entered his life. Her behavior and the panicked and evasive eyes were very similar to her.

"What kind of mind reading is this? Ashin doesn't understand what the prince is saying." Gu Yunru wanted to break free from his arms, just like a rabbit suddenly jumping into a human's arms, she would probably not be able to run away even if she opened her legs.

"If you keep pretending, or you don't tell me, I will be disrespectful to you." Rong Zhen's cold voice was full of evil charm. Seeing his suddenly helpless look, Gu Yunru frowned and asked, "How did you find out?"

"The first time I met you was in a restaurant. At that time, I had already sensed something was wrong. It seems that my mind-reading skills are indeed more proficient than yours." Rong Zhen has always been proud of the mind-reading skills he learned from Gu Yunru. Over the years, he has never given up the knowledge passed down by Gu Yunru, including how to develop a restaurant and expand the business. He has not missed a single one.

"Since Your Highness knows everything, can you put me down first?" Gu Yunru lay in his arms in an awkward and ambiguous posture. If someone suddenly saw them, they would definitely think that the two of them were doing something shameful.

"Okay." Rong Zhen laid her down on the ground. His eyes suddenly became gentle again. He held her hand tightly and asked, "There are no outsiders here. Tell me where you have been hiding these years and why you turned a blind eye to my search?"

Rong Zhen had guessed long ago that if Gu Yunru's body had not been found, she would definitely not want to see him. As for the emperor's brother saying that he had found Gu Yunru's body, after investigation, it was clearly the body of an adult male.

However, he could also understand his brother's painstaking efforts, which was to make him more motivated and not continue to be depressed. When Ashin broke into his life, he paid more attention to her every move.

"A Zhao... I didn't expect you to recognize me. Actually, I came down the mountain this time to deal with the invasion of the foreign country using witchcraft against Da Qi. I have been blaming myself for the past ten years. I didn't dare to go down the mountain. It was me who got rid of Shu'er. I don't dare to face you."

When she was excited, her eyes turned slightly red. Rong Zhen held her in his arms with heartache and listened to her telling him everything that happened that year. But it was not her fault. Why did she live in the mountains for ten years with self-blame? It made him heartbroken and anxious, and he wanted to die many times.

"Do you know that all my hopes have collapsed with your departure? I thought you had really returned to another time and space. I was so worried, so worried..." Rong Zhen couldn't help choking up as he spoke. This was the first time that Gu Yunru saw him crying, and her heart sank.

"A Zhao...it's my fault. I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye. But there was a reason. Kang Keren disfigured my face in the inn, so I had no choice but to use another part of my skin to replace it. Now I don't look the same as before. Will you still love me?" Gu Yunru had a straw of inferiority in her heart and was unwilling to tell them the truth. The thought of this made her heartbroken, as she thought of the scene where she was insulted by Kang Keren in the inn.

It was because she trusted others too much that she encountered misfortune.

"Yun Ru... you are so silly. Do you think that I am with you just because of your appearance? No matter what you become, I will protect you and love you without hesitation."

Rong Zhen spoke to her solemnly, and afraid that she would not believe him, he raised his hand and swore an oath.

"No, don't say those nonsense. Saying unlucky words in our place will bring bad luck. I will come back to you no matter what, but I hope you will keep this matter a secret first." Crystal tears slowly welled up in Gu Yunru's eyes. She clung to his strong arms, seeming to be coquettish, crying, or scolding.

"good."
