After saying that, Gu Yunru looked at the princess's expression, which was filled with anger and resentment.

"Princess, don't be angry. Running away like this is not a solution."

After hearing what Gu Yunru said, the princess excitedly grabbed her hand and said, "Do you have any way to help me avoid the marriage?"

"Well... not really. I don't have such extraordinary abilities."

Gu Yunru can cure illnesses and solve cases, but this kind of thing is not her turn to take care of.

"From the tone of your words, it seems that I have to go beyond the Great Wall." After the princess finished speaking, she sat down on the bed dejectedly, looking as if she was heartbroken.

"Princess, you should discuss this matter with the Emperor."

"Don't mention him to me. There is no family affection when it comes to state affairs."

When the princess said this, a faint light appeared in her eyes. It was tears.

Gu Yunru felt a little sorry for her and came forward. He stroked her back, his eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Princess, why don't you stay in the palace first and discuss it after the envoys from outside the Great Wall enter the palace."

"What do you mean by that?"

The princess looked at Gu Yunru in confusion. Gu Yunru whispered a few words in her ear with a suspenseful expression. After the princess listened, she looked at her blankly and said, "Is this really okay?"

"Princess, how would you know if you don't try? You can't refuse the marriage if you want to. But what if the other party wants to refuse the marriage?" Gu Yunru looked confident. Although her own affairs were a mess, she was still in order when it came to sorting out other people's affairs.

"Okay, I will trust you for once."

As soon as the princess finished speaking, she opened the door and walked out. Gu Yunru was relieved. It felt good to be trusted by others, but if the envoy from outside the Great Wall came... Gu Yunru shook his head. He had to help the princess solve this matter, otherwise he would be caught outside the Great Wall. Maybe he could even ask the princess to help him stay away from Rong Zhen.

As long as she doesn't marry into Prince Zhao's palace, she can say anything.

When Gu Yunru thought of this, she felt a lot more relaxed and confident.

Early the next morning, the news of the princess's return spread throughout the palace.

Rong Zhen and Gu Yunru had breakfast together. Seeing Gu Yunru drinking hot porridge with dark circles under her eyes, Rong Zhen asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Okay, what's wrong?" Gu Yunru tossed and turned until the late night before she fell asleep. Looking at Rong Zhen's energetic appearance, she remembered that his insomnia was almost cured, while she was tortured to the point of falling asleep only in the late night every day.

"It's alright, I'm just asking casually."

"Oh." Gu Yunru continued to lower her head and drink her porridge.

After eating and drinking, he touched his stomach with satisfaction.

"Look at you, you don't look like a rich lady at all." Rong Zhen couldn't help but complain.

"I..." Gu Yunru said unhappily, "If Your Majesty finds it embarrassing, you don't have to marry me."

Rong Zhen's eyebrows twitched. He didn't expect her to answer like this.

"The engagement cannot be changed. I can do nothing about it. Is it wrong for you to marry me?" Rong Zhen couldn't help but ask. Could it be that this woman has always been repulsive to him? Gu Yunru sat upright with his back straight.

"That's not the case. Give me your hand."

Seeing that he was hesitant, Gu Yunru directly pulled his hand over. Rong Zhen sat calmly without moving. After Gu Yunru took his pulse, she let go of his hand.

"You have been feeling a little out of balance lately, probably because you get angry easily. When can you be like the emperor? When you talk to people, always use the same tone and don't lose your temper suddenly."

Hearing Gu Yunru's earnest advice, a hint of doubt flashed across Rong Zhen's dark eyes.

"What do you mean by that? Do you think that the king has a bad temper?"

Who would have the guts to talk to him like this?

Gu Yunru hurriedly said: "Well, it's like this again. If you continue like this, even I won't dare to talk to you."

"…Then what do you want me to do?"

"The tone of voice is very important. You can't use a commanding tone. After all, we are not on a battlefield." Gu Yunru moved closer to him. Rong Zhen suddenly felt his chest tighten, and even his heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

"How about this, I'll teach you to sing nursery rhymes." Gu Yunru came up with this idea for the first time.

"What?"

"It's a nursery rhyme. I'll sing it to you and you can learn to sing it again."

"I don't want to learn such childish things."

Rong Zhen turned his face away and said he would not cooperate no matter what.

"Hey, I'm doing this for your own good, you have to cooperate with me."

Gu Yunru was so worried about Rong Zhen's illness, but she didn't even appreciate it.

Rong Zhen struggled for a long time, but couldn't bear to see Gu Yunru's lost look, so he had to bite the bullet and sing along with her.

While learning to sing, Gu's father knelt at the gate of the Millennium Palace for a whole night, and his legs were almost broken. Gu Junyao saw that his father was about to fall, and immediately rushed forward to stop him in his arms.

"Dad? Are you okay?"

Gu Junyao finally finished copying and walked out to see that it was already daybreak. She didn't expect her father to be punished to kneel outside. When had their family ever been treated like this? This Concubine Shu was really too much! Zi Luo walked out of the door and glanced at Gu Junyao's face with a proud look.

"The queen is still asleep. We have to wait until she wakes up and reads the Buddhist scriptures that Miss Gu has copied before we can leave. Please go to the side hall to rest for a while and wait for a moment."

Gu Junyao had endured the whole night and was now starving and cold, feeling tortured to the point of living a life worse than death. She had never been treated like this before.

"Aunt, please be merciful and bring some hot tea. My father doesn't look well."

Zi Luo scolded her with a sarcastic look on her face: "How can I get you hot tea so early in the morning? If you want some, go to the kitchen and make some yourself."

After saying these words, he twisted his waist and left.

Gu Junyao held her breath, gritted her teeth and helped her father to the side hall, frowning and said, "I don't know how we offended Concubine Shu that she would tease us like this. Dad, you must not get into trouble."

Father Gu coughed, lowered his head with difficulty, and waved his hand, saying, "Dad is fine."

"Are all the people in the palace so unreasonable? Dad, how about we go and talk to the emperor?"

Gu Junyao thought that no matter what, she couldn't just swallow her anger.

"It's better to have less trouble than more. Besides, Concubine Shu is the emperor's woman, and the emperor will definitely favor her."

"Are we just going to let today's humiliation go?" Gu Junyao always held her head high and was very proud. When would she shrink her neck like a turtle?

"Okay, Junyao, don't tell your mother about this for now. I'm afraid she will be worried if she finds out."

"yes."

About half an hour later, Concubine Shu finally woke up. As soon as she woke up, she called out to the Gu father and daughter to hurry into the hall.

"Greetings to Her Majesty Shufei."

Gu Junyao lowered her head, hiding the hatred in her eyes very well.
