Nangong Ruowei's eyes were sparkling with tears as she stared at him without blinking, fearing that Rong Zhen would suddenly disappear in front of her. Rong Zhen was a shadow that she could never catch, and she longed for him to stay with her more.

"Nangong... why... do you want to participate in the talent show?" Rong Zhen looked at her in confusion. This question did not contain any other meaning, but it made Nangong Ruowei's heart flutter. She thought Rong Zhen was jealous, and her expression became even more shy and timid.

"You have me in your heart, right? You just don't want to admit it." Nangong Ruowei looked at him with bright eyes, her eyes as bright as the stars, filled with the brightest stars.

"You misunderstood. I'm just curious about why you did this." Rong Zhen came to the palace, originally looking for Gu Yunru's shadow, but accidentally came to the side courtyard where Nangong Ruowei lived. In addition, there was a fire everywhere but no one approached, so he realized that something was wrong.

He told Nangong Ruowei about his doubts and said that he came here simply to look for Gu Yunru's shadow. He did not come here intentionally to rescue her, and he did not know that the place where she lived would be set on fire.

"Gu Yunru...you must love her very much." Nangong Ruowei showed a bitter smile. She had never envied a woman so much.

"Yeah." Rong Zhen did not deny it. Seeing that Nangong Ruowei was determined to stay in the palace, he sighed, put his hands behind his back and walked to the window and said, "There are so many eyes staring at you in the palace, are you still determined to go back?"

"Of course, this is my fate, and no one can change it. In fact, if you are willing to let me stay with you, perhaps this matter can be turned around, but I know what kind of person you are. It's great that you can stay with her."

Nangong Ruowei was envious from the bottom of her heart, but how long could this envy last?

Gu Yunru, who was on the other side of the screen, heard the news of the fire in the remote area and went to the side yard with Shu'er, but did not see her. When everyone was frowning, they saw Nangong. She was not in the side yard, and no one saw where she went. "Nangong."

Gu Yunru walked to Nangong Ruowei's side, wanting to see if she was injured, only to see Nangong Ruowei walked up to her and grabbed her hand with a friendly smile on her face, "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that person came to look for you and is waiting for you to go back."

Knowing who Nangong Ruowei was talking about, although Rong Zhen did not appear in front of her, she also keenly felt his presence. It seemed that who else but Rong Zhen could have saved her from the dire situation last night?

Shu'er watched the two of them chatting and went to the main hall. She saw Yuan Ming sitting at the table, concentrating on reviewing memorials. She sat aside, resting her cheek with one hand, and said, "Aunt Yunru and I are likely to leave soon."

"How could it be so sudden?" Yuan Ming put down his work. After hearing the news that they were leaving, he felt a complex and indescribable sense of guilt. Shu'er smiled bitterly and said, "We don't belong to a foreign country. It's only a matter of time before we go back."

"That's true. You really don't belong here." Yuan Ming sighed suddenly, looked at Shu'er reluctantly and said, "I don't know when we can meet again..."

"Don't worry, I will miss you." Shu'er reached out and touched his head, as intimately as they did when they were children.

Nangong Ruowei successfully stayed in the palace, but many people wanted to kill her. Some ministers even wrote a joint letter saying that she was a Zoroastrian and could not be kept. If she stayed, it would definitely cause trouble.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. This woman has evil intentions and will surely cause trouble in the future!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty must think twice!"

As soon as the adults came on stage, they talked about this matter, and there were endless voices of opposition. Yuan Ming pinched his nose with a headache, not wanting to be annoyed about this matter anymore. He looked at the national teacher who was silent, and naturally had other ideas in his mind.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. Those who have something to say can stay, and those who don't can leave." Yuan Ming was extremely annoyed and asked everyone to leave, leaving only Wei Shang in the hall. Wei Shang stayed in the hall for a long time, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, but he didn't say it out loud.

"Your Majesty, are you really determined to keep a troublemaker by your side? What if something really happens in the future..."

"Don't worry. Although Nangong Ruowei has hurt me, I believe I can influence her." Yuan Ming actually had other uses for keeping her by his side. It was naturally not an easy task to silence the gossips.

"I know these things are not something I should worry about, but there are some things I still want to remind Your Majesty to think twice before acting."

"Okay, you've said everything you need to say. If you don't have any other opinions, please leave." Yuan Ming waved his hand. Wei Shang's eyes were filled with a complicated expression. Soon, the palace was busy preparing for the wedding, and Gu Yunru was also thinking about when to leave. It was already late at night. The palace was decorated with lights.

It looked very lively. Gu Yunru came to the Imperial Garden alone, but heard a very desolate flute sound. He didn't know who made this flute sound. Gu Yunru strode forward and saw a figure in white clothes. He was stunned where he was. When he approached this person again, he sensed a familiar breath.

I didn't expect it was Zhuge Jinyu. It's really puzzling that he would have the leisure to come to the palace to play the ocarina.

Zhuge Jinyu walked forward and let out a chuckle. He turned around and the moment he saw it was Gu Yunru, he quickly suppressed the smile on his lips, "When did you come?" Gu Yunru rolled her eyes and walked to his side, saying with a melancholy look on her face, "I came here when I heard the sound of the ocarina. Why is your ocarina playing so sad? Are you missing someone?" Gu Yunru hit the nail on the head and he lowered his head guiltily. This tiny expression of his was quickly exposed by Gu Yunru. No matter what micro-expression could escape Gu Yunru's eyes, she really saw through it.

"I see. You are thinking about Nangong Ruowei, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, how could I possibly think of her?" He gritted his teeth and denied it, turned around, afraid that when he saw Gu Yunru's eyes again, what was in his heart would eventually be exposed.
