Chapter 5 In Exchange for Freedom



"Your Highness, are you okay? I deserved to die!" The captain of the guards hurried forward, half-knelt down and helped the man up.

"Am I sick again?" The man was awake at this time, his voice was slightly hoarse and his lips were pale.

"It's good that His Highness has woken up. Someone, bring His Highness' wheelchair." The captain of the guards avoided talking about the illness and gave the order.

The people below quickly brought out a wheelchair with exquisite shape and noble material, and helped the man sit on it.

Gu Yunru, who was standing by, was stunned. She had just felt his pulse and found that he was in good health without any medical problems. Why did he have to sit in a wheelchair? Was he free? Her astonishment was too obvious. The man in the wheelchair glanced at her coldly, and his voice was hoarse and cold: "Who are you?"

"My last name is Gu, and I'm the eldest daughter of the Gu family." Gu Yunru replied perfunctorily, then looked at the man in front of her with interest, and said carefully, "Hey, my dear brother, please forgive me for being frank. When I felt your pulse just now, I found that you didn't have any pathological problems. So, are you sitting in a wheelchair because of your personal hobby?"

"How dare you! Who gave you the courage to speak to His Royal Highness Prince Zhao like that?" The captain of the guards had a very bad temper. He drew out his sword and put it on Gu Yunru's neck as soon as they disagreed.

Gu Yunru: "." His Royal Highness Prince Zhao? Her, her legendary fiancé?

"Qingfeng, don't be rude." King Zhao said in a low voice, but his eyes paused on Gu Yunru's face. Suddenly, he smiled evilly and coldly, and said slowly, "Unfortunately, when I came down from the back mountain, I happened to see the eldest daughter of the Gu family having a secret meeting with the new number one scholar. Where did you come from, the eldest daughter of the Gu family?"

New number one scholar? Secret meeting? Tsk tsk, Gu Junyao is really good. Even with her taking the blame, he is still not at ease with the marriage and is in a hurry to marry himself off.

"In reply to Prince Zhao, my name is Gu Yunru, and I am the legitimate daughter of Gu Yan. Because my mother passed away early, I have been raised on the farm after marrying my stepmother. I heard that the emperor had arranged a marriage for me, so the Gu family took me back." Gu Yunru had no good feelings towards the Gu family and sold them out without mercy.

"Your Highness, the one who was granted the marriage by His Majesty is clearly the Gu family. How bold!" Qingfeng is also a smart man. With just a few words from Gu Yunru, he already understood what happened. He immediately became so angry that his face turned red. "No, I'm going to expose their tricks in front of His Majesty!"

"Brother, please be patient, please be patient." Gu Yunru quickly stopped Qingfeng and analyzed clearly, "I know that your prince doesn't want to marry me, and I don't dare to marry someone higher than him. I also asked around and found out that my second sister is an excellent doctor. His Majesty's original intention of granting the marriage was to have her treat Prince Zhao's leg. But I just took your prince's pulse and he doesn't have any pathological problems. No matter how good his medical skills are, it's useless."

"You are talking nonsense. If there is nothing wrong with his body, why can't my prince stand up? You don't understand medicine at all!" Qingfeng was furious and pointed at Gu Yunru and scolded coldly.

"Hey, you are such a real person, can you please listen to me first?" Gu Yunru rolled her eyes at him and continued, "I am also from the Gu family, and I also know medical skills. Does your Highness suffer from long-term insomnia? Does he often have splitting headaches that cannot be cured by medicine? Does he often get furious for no reason and even hurt himself?"

Qingfeng was speechless after being asked by her, his face turned from red to white, and finally he gave in to Gu Yunru's confident gaze and stammered, "It is indeed -"

"That's right. Has your prince's leg been treated by many doctors but no one can find the cause?" Although Gu Yunru was talking to Qingfeng, her gaze was fixed on the prince Zhao. He was extremely handsome, with long eyebrows, starry eyes, thin lips and a straight nose. His face was as beautiful as jade, but unfortunately he was a little pale.

"You - sent someone to monitor me?" When His Royal Highness Prince Zhao heard this, his eyes suddenly turned dark.

Gu Yunru: “.”

She has it so hard! What kind of logic is this! The brain circuits of these ancient people are really strange! "Your Highness Prince Zhao, I have been raised on the farm for more than ten years. I have only been back to the capital for three or four days. I fell into the lake and lay on the couch for two days. Even my wet nurse was taken over by Madam Gu after I agreed to take the blame for this marriage. Do you think I have the ability to monitor you?" Gu Yunru felt that she was really weak, pitiful and helpless, and analyzed patiently.

His Royal Highness Prince Zhao waved his hand, and a masked man in black flew out from somewhere and ordered in a cold voice, "Go check her out."

Gu Yunru: "." Is it really okay to question her so blatantly in front of her? After all, she is his nominal fiancée. Can this marriage still go on happily? "Your Highness, where is the basic trust between people?" Gu Yunru roared, "I tell you honestly, your illness is probably a mental illness. I can help you cure your leg, but you have to promise me that you will contact me after your leg is cured. What do you think of this deal?"

When King Zhao heard this, the same evil and cold smile appeared on his cold face again, as if he had heard a joke.

Gu Yunru was just about to introduce her advantages again and try to promote this deal that could exchange for her freedom, but he suddenly attacked and swung out the whip he had used just now. The whip in his hand was like a dragon, and it pounced straight towards Gu Yunru and wrapped around her waist.

When King Zhao saw that the whip was entangled with her, he exerted force and pulled Gu Yunru over, and she fell into his arms.

"Alas - even if the deal fails, we still have friendship! Don't do it, don't do it -" Gu Yunru was so frightened that when she opened her eyes, she met the handsome and cold face of King Zhao. She immediately gave in and begged for mercy in a low voice.

"You said you have been raised on the farm. How did you learn medical skills?" King Zhao stretched out his bony hand, lifted up Gu Yunru's chin, and said in a deep voice.

Although he was good-looking and had a magnetic, unique and pleasant voice, Gu Yunru felt that the hand supporting her chin was ice-cold, and his eyes were full of suspicion and murderous intent.

If her answer was not to his liking, Gu Yunru believed that he would definitely cut off her jaw with a click.

She gasped, calculating quickly in her mind.
