After hearing what Gu Yunru said, Cheng Shaoyuan was puzzled, "Do you have any unspeakable secrets? Tell me, maybe I can help you." Cheng Shaoyuan's obsidian eyes stared straight at her, his gaze was soft and loving, he just looked at her quietly, Gu Yunru shook her head, recalling the scenes of the past, which made her fall into the abyss of pain and confusion. Despair swallowed her like a waterfall, and her dark pupils flashed a cold luster.

"This is my inner demon, and no one can help me." Gu Yunru sighed, not knowing what was happening around the Yangxin Palace.

At this moment, seeing a small group of palace maids and eunuchs running towards the formation hall in panic, Gu Yunru immediately stopped one of them.

"Please stay. What's going on in the Yangxin Palace?" Gu Yunru's eyes were full of concern and worry.

"The emperor was frightened, and the ministers invited wizards and prepared to bring several wizards to the palace to perform a ritual."

"How to do it?" Gu Yunru narrowed her beautiful eyes. In such a tense atmosphere, could she just ask a few witch doctors to solve this problem? Obviously, it was unrealistic. Gu Yunru was going to go to the hospital and tell these imperial doctors about the method of expelling insects, so as not to make them lose their composure.

"Brother Cheng, I have to go to the Imperial Hospital now. Please stay here and comfort him for me." Gu Yunru looked at him steadily. Cheng Shaoyuan hesitated for a long time and had to nod. He repeatedly told her to be careful of her own safety.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Gu Yunru pursed her lips and smiled, then quickly went to the Imperial Hospital and told the imperial physician about this method first. However, this person's identity made everyone feel a little strange. They did not take Gu Yunru's words to heart. They just felt that he was not famous but came here to make decisions, which made them feel angry.

"Who are you? Without the Emperor's personal word, why should anyone believe you?!"

Facing so many questioning looks, Gu Yunru almost forgot that she was no longer the Princess of Zhao. No matter what she said to these people, it would be like talking to a cow.

"I……"

Just when she was busy and speechless, Cheng Shaoyuan came over.

"Isn't what I mean possible? Miss Axin is an outstanding medical skill. I believe her method can drive those bugs out of the palace." Cheng Shaoyuan stood tall in front of everyone. The imperial doctors looked at each other, and then decided to do as Gu Yunru suggested.

The two of them rushed towards the Yangxin Palace together. Gu Yunru would quietly raise her eyes from time to time and glance at Cheng Shaoyuan.

"Brother Cheng, thanks to you, I almost forgot that I am no longer Princess Zhao."

"Why do you have to say that? By the way, you haven't told me why you changed your appearance. If I hadn't seen you and His Royal Highness Prince Zhao so close, I wouldn't have suspected that you were..."

Cheng Shaoyuan looked at her curiously and asked, but he hit the nail on the head about what she was thinking. Gu Yunru turned her head with some sadness and stopped.

"What's wrong, Yunru, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"It's not that there's anything wrong, but I'm no longer the same person I used to be. Brother Cheng, please don't ask me what happened in the past, okay?"

"Of course."

At this time in the Yangxin Palace, several witches were skipping rope in the hall. The emperor was so frightened that he lay on the bed, refusing to eat or drink. He only got up reluctantly after drinking some medicine.

When one of the witches was halfway through her dance, murderous intent flashed in her eyes and she was about to take out a dagger from her sleeve, but unexpectedly, Gu Yunru and Cheng Shaoyuan walked in together at this moment.

Quickly putting away the knife, Gu Yunru continued to pretend to jump. Seeing the three witches' chaotic steps, it seemed as if they had not been rehearsed before. This was not skipping rope, but square dancing...

"Your Majesty, Ah Xin is here to feel your pulse." Gu Yunru walked forward and placed her fingers on the emperor's wrist. She found that he was in a very confused state of mind at the moment, caused by fright. It seemed that these bugs were really everywhere.

"How does the emperor feel now?"

"I feel a tightness in my chest, as if I can't breathe, and my eyes are cloudy, and I can't see clearly what's in front of me."

The emperor expressed his feelings at the moment, and Gu Yunru prescribed some medicine that could make his eyes clear and his mind bright, and he would no longer be so anxious and breathless.

Cheng Shaoyuan stared at the witches. One of them saw that she could not miss such a good opportunity and stabbed the emperor with a knife. Gu Yunru was standing beside the emperor. Seeing this, she immediately threw herself in front of the emperor and closed her eyes. However, the knife did not pierce her body and she did not feel any pain.

"Brother Cheng!"

"My dear!"

The two shouted in unison, and the witches were quickly captured by the guards at the door.

"How dare you to assassinate the emperor!" The witches knelt on the ground passively. One of them was very clever. Something crawled out from her sleeve and bit the guard's hand. Then she fell to the ground in pain and died of bleeding.

One witch managed to escape from the palace, and the guards behind her pursued her relentlessly.

"Brother Cheng..." Gu Yunru looked at the knife stabbing into his right chest, most likely the location of his heart. With trembling hands, she helped him to the side, but he fell down like a puddle of mud.

"You don't want to die, you don't want to die!" Gu Yunru couldn't stop her tears from streaming down. The emperor was also quite frightened and called several imperial doctors.

"Your Majesty, several imperial doctors have died of poisoning, others have fled outside the palace, and several are in the Empress Dowager's palace..." The eunuch came to report. It turned out that the Imperial Medical Bureau was short of staff. Some of them unfortunately died of poisoning while testing drugs, and some were scattered all over the place and could not enter the palace at this time.

"How ridiculous? Miss Ashin, is there any way to save Lord Cheng's life?" The emperor almost lost his composure when he saw this. Tears welled up in Gu Yunru's eyes, and she supported Cheng Shaoyuan and leaned him against her chest.

"Brother Cheng, please don't be in trouble, okay?" Gu Yunru's lips moved slightly, but she could not hide the heartache, and her expression became sad and painful.

"Yunru... let me take good care of Huan'er and An'er..." Cheng Shaoyuan grabbed her sleeve tightly and did not forget to give her instructions.

"Okay, I promise you. I promise I will take good care of Huan'er and An'er." Gu Yunru's tears soaked his clothes like beads with broken strings, and at the last moment, his hands dropped like this.

The emperor's eyes moistened, and he shook his head helplessly, saying, "Lord Cheng saved me, so... I will posthumously confer him the title of Grand Historian... and I will also give his two children some official positions."
