"What do you mean? Is Shu'er being controlled by someone?" Rong Zhen looked at her in confusion, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. Gu Yunru nodded and sat aside, lost in thought.

"Yes, she was indeed controlled by someone. Although I don't know how she fell into the hands of foreigners, her cultivation by foreigners included the practice of Gu. Her master was our old friend, Miao Xiang." Rong Zhen was very familiar with Miao Xiang. He thought she had returned to Miaojiang, but he didn't expect that she became a Gu master for foreigners.

"Miao Xiang?" Rong Zhen was shocked. He indeed had not received this news. It was also his fault that he had been busy looking for Gu Yunru's whereabouts in the past few years and had not taken the affairs of the court seriously at all. Now that the foreign country has sufficient food and grass, the next step is to plan to start a war. The people of Da Qi are living in fear and misery.

"Yes, Miao Xiang seems to have a high status in Yi Country. As for how she joined Yi Country, it is not known yet, so I must use Ah Xin's identity to spy on their intelligence. Miao Xiang is beginning to be interested in me, and just now she asked Shu'er to hint at my origins."

Gu Yunru's eyes flashed with a smug smile. She walked to Rong Zhen's side and said to him gently, "Remember, don't tell anyone my identity. In fact, Tingya was the first one to recognize me when I came here. Although she was not in a good mental state, her heart was as clear as a mirror."

"Okay, I promise you, you can rest here for a while. I see you are tired." Rong Zhen brushed the strands of hair on her forehead and looked at her with pity. He just wanted to stay with her for a while longer.

"No, I have to go back." The time Gu Yunru had was not something she could control at all. She had to rush to the Chu Mansion to prevent Shu'er from making more mistakes. Since Shu'er was also being controlled by someone, she had to solve Shu'er's problem first.

Rong Zhen originally wanted to send someone to give her a ride, but Gu Yunru refused. Gu Yunru took a carriage to the bustling streets, holding the purse on her waist and preparing to walk around to see if there was anything Tingya liked. When she was halfway there, she suddenly bumped into a man's strong chest.

"Ah Xi..." Gu Yunru blurted out subconsciously, looking at the man in front of her staring at him motionlessly. Isn't this Cheng Shaoyuan? Unexpectedly, after ten years, he has changed the most. He is so old that she can't recognize him. He has a long beard on his chin. There is a mediocre woman next to him, and the woman is holding two children in her hands.

But seeing how the family lived in luxury, they must have lived a good life in the past few years. Gu Yunru rubbed her forehead and was about to take a detour to leave when the woman said, "Miss, you didn't look at the road just now, so you bumped into the master. You should apologize to the master."

"Hey, Heng Niang, the girl didn't do it on purpose. Let's hurry up and go to Lingshan."

"Lingshan? May I ask what you are doing in Lingshan?" Lingshan is not a place where people can have fun. Many corpses that have been brought back are buried there, including "my own" body.

"I'm going to see an old friend. Girl, you forgot your money." Cheng Shaoyuan pointed to the bulging purse on the ground. It was such a loud noise, but the reckless girl didn't hear it. She looked exactly like Gu Yunru back then.

"Oh." Gu Yunru quickly bent down and tied the purse to her belt. Seeing that Heng Niang didn't seem to like her, she obediently made way for the family to set off to Lingshan to see her aunt? Could it be that they were going to see her? I didn't expect that after so many years, Cheng Shaoyuan's style of doing things was still like a modest gentleman who was loved by everyone.

Driven by curiosity, Gu Yunru also wanted to follow the family to see who they were going to Lingshan to worship, so she secretly followed the family.

The family came to the tombstone of "Princess Zhao". The four-year-old boy looked at the woman curiously with a candied haws in his hand and said, "Mom, who is buried under this ground?"

Heng Niang took the little boy in her arms, straightened his clothes, and said to him with a smile: "The one buried here is a good friend of your father, but he is gone now."

She sighed when she said this, she didn't expect that it was really her own tombstone. Gu Yunru looked at it from the side, her heart felt like it was being pulled apart. She had been gone for so long, but no one had forgotten her, and she had hidden away like a coward, which was really hateful.

After lighting two incense sticks, Cheng Shaoyuan looked at Heng Niang and said, "Take Huan'er and An'er to the carriage first." Heng Niang nodded. Knowing that he wanted to be alone with the owner of the tomb for a while, she granted his wish. Gu Yunru sat beside the roots of a big tree, looking at Cheng Shaoyuan's lonely and thin back, frowning tightly, biting her index finger, feeling upset and not knowing what she was worried about.

"Yunru, ten years have passed. I wonder how you are doing on the other side of the world." Cheng Shaoyuan told her what was in his heart while burning paper. Every year Cheng Shaoyuan would burn paper in his own yard. Now that he heard that the emperor had found her body, he came to Lingshan in person to visit her grave.

"Yunru, I will come to see you often in the future, so don't feel helpless." Cheng Shaoyuan said this from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes turned red again. Gu Yunru was also itching when she saw this.

But at this moment, they heard the sound of horse hooves passing by Lingshan. The little boy An'er had to pee at this time, so he grabbed Heng Niang's hand and said coquettishly, "Mom, I need to go to the toilet..."

"Where can you go to the toilet in this deserted mountain? Can't you hold it in for a while?" Heng Niang said to An'er patiently. An'er simply frowned and burst into tears. Heng Niang couldn't do anything about him, so she had to carry him to the haystack first.

Heng Niang had just finished changing An'er's diaper when she stood up and saw a strong group of people coming towards them from not far away. They looked like bandits, with ferocious looks and big machetes in their hands. An'er was so scared that he burst into tears and threw himself into Heng Niang's arms.

"Don't be afraid, An'er. Mother will take you to find father." Heng Niang was so frightened that her legs went limp. How could a woman like her have ever seen such a big scene? She had heard of mountain bandits, but she had never seen someone with such a powerful force.
