Chapter 401: Short-sighted



The little mouse followed Gu Yunru closely, staring at these spoiled princesses intently. After looking at them all, he found that these princesses were not as pretty as Princess Dongping. A big reason for this might be that they were jealous of Princess Dongping's beauty.

Shu'er didn't expect to meet her in the palace, and she lowered her eyes guiltily. Gu Yunru stood in front of Shu'er very naturally, just like before, when Gu Yunru would habitually stand in front of Shu'er and protect her.

Several arrogant princesses looked at an unknown palace maid who actually came to speak for the Princess of Dongping, and their momentum suddenly became high.

"I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be a sorcerer. But it's really strange, why would the emperor recruit someone like you into the palace?"

"That's right. It looks unlucky. Little mouse, you found a master like this. Do you think you will be lucky in the future?"

Several princesses teased each other, but Gu Yunru knew that they were not evil people. They just had childish tempers. It was normal for women to feel repulsive to each other because of their appearance.

"How dare you! Haven't I taught you how to treat others with courtesy?" At this moment, a rather majestic voice reached everyone's ears. The little mouse reacted the most quickly, and immediately bowed deeply to the emperor and King Zhao who had come from nearby.

One of the princesses saw the majestic King Zhao and didn't know what to do next. It was only when the emperor looked at her that the princess reluctantly saluted. It was said that His Royal Highness King Zhao's appearance was the best in Da Qi, and today she saw that it was indeed true.

Although her face is not as pretty as before, it has added a touch of charm. Perhaps this is the charm of maturity and stability. Gu Yunru smiled awkwardly and looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. I just saw Princess Dongping and several princesses talking and laughing, so I came to see them."

"Ah Xin, you're here too. It's just right. I've been feeling weak in my arms for the past few days. Why don't you help me find out what the reason is?"

So everyone moved to a nearby pavilion, where the emperor sat. Gu Yunru stood behind the emperor. It was the first time for her to treat someone, and so many people were watching nearby, just like they were surrounding a monkey in a zoo.

"Your Majesty, it will be a bit painful later. Please bear with it for now." Gu Yunru reminded him gently and turned behind him. She twisted his hands together and pressed her knee hard against his back. There was a sound of broken bones and a snap. The eunuch next to him heard it and felt as if he was facing a great enemy.

"Big...Bold!"

"Ah... don't be rude. I feel the pain in my arm has lessened a lot." The emperor relaxed his brows happily, and the eunuch stepped aside obediently after seeing this.

"Father, I really scared my daughter just now."

The princess in pink came forward, looked at the plain-looking Ashin in front of her and pouted, "So you are the female medical officer who serves my father."

"I don't deserve it. It's just a small favor." Gu Yunru lowered her head modestly. The princess's eyes were not as arrogant and hostile as before. Shu'er stepped back naturally when she saw this scene, but Shen Aojun, who was not far away, saw this scene in the pavilion.

"Cui'er, do you think the emperor is also interested in Ah Xin?" Shen Aojun turned her head and asked. Cui'er scratched her head and said, "I have inquired about it. It seems that the prince personally asked the emperor for someone, and the emperor gave Ah Xin to the prince."

"So that's how it is. That's right."

"Miss, what exactly is right?" Cui Er looked at Shen Aojun with a puzzled look on her face, who looked like she knew everything. Shen Aojun raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty, you must be quite interested in this Ah Xin. If Your Majesty wants to make Ah Xin your consort, what do you think the prince will do?"

"But……"

Cui'er's words were refuted before she could finish her words.

"Okay, you don't have to say more. I'll go see the queen." Shen Aojun and the queen had some friendship, but the queen had always been frail and sickly. She had been bedridden for many years and hadn't gone out for a walk for a long time.

"Empress, this is some beauty powder that Aojun had someone bring for you." The queen has a gentle temperament and does not like to compete for favor. No matter how the concubines in the harem make trouble, or how the princesses and princes compete for favor, the queen turns a blind eye. It is a pity that the queen cannot give birth.

"I didn't expect that you, Ao Jun, would come to the palace to see me. I heard that foreign envoys were visiting the palace today, so it must be very lively tonight. It's a pity that my body..." After saying that, the queen coughed twice again. The palace maid beside her was busy bringing a washbasin and a hot towel to serve her. It seemed that the queen had been ill for a long time.

"Empress, what is wrong with you? Why are so many doctors helpless?" Shen Aojun asked puzzled. The queen smiled bitterly and said, "I got this illness five years ago when it snowed heavily. I accidentally fell into an icy lake and soaked in the water for a while, so..." Thinking of what happened five years ago, it seemed like it happened just yesterday. Until now, the queen dared not step into the lotus pond. The emperor also ordered people to fill up the lake, and fences were built along the lakes of all sizes to prevent people from falling into the lakes.

"So that's how it is. When Ao Jun saw the Queen's current appearance, he couldn't help but think of the past. Thanks to Princess Zhao, my body was able to slowly get better. However, I also met a woman recently. Her medical skills are not worse than the Princess'. Why don't you introduce her to me, Queen?"

"I have heard of the name of Princess Zhao a long time ago, but unfortunately I have never met her. Since you said so, please ask that woman to come and meet me."

"yes."

Gu Yunru was eating pastries in the imperial kitchen when she was caught red-handed by Shen Aojun.

"Ms. Shen, I was really hungry, that's why..." Gu Yunru walked up to her like a child who had made a mistake, hoping that she would show mercy and not tell her superiors about her cheating.

"Oh Xin, I do know a place where you can eat as much cakes as you want."

"What?" Gu Yunru's eyes lit up and he followed her to the Queen's palace. As soon as he entered the hall, Gu Yunru realized that there must be a patient here, because the whole room was filled with the smell of medicine jars. The smell would not dissipate, and it almost suffocated him when he sniffed it into his nose.
