"Um."

The emperor didn't wake up for three whole days, and Rong Zhen also stayed at home. Things were getting worse and worse. Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen who didn't say a word and placed the prepared pastries on the table.

"This is your favorite corn snack and liusu cake. I specially asked the chef in the restaurant to teach me how to make these cakes. I don't know if they suit your taste." Gu Yunru sat next to him and tried her best to make him happy these days, but he still had a sour face and exuded a smell of ugliness, as if he wanted everyone to stay away from him.

"Try it." Gu Yunru said, and enthusiastically divided the pastry into two halves, wanting to stuff it into his mouth, but unexpectedly he waved his left hand and slapped the pastry away. Looking at his actions, Gu Yunru felt very sad and wronged.

Her hands were burned and blistered from making these pastries, but he was so ungrateful that she bit her teeth in anger, held back her tears, and ran out of the door.

When they came to the riverside, the water was very shallow and there was a wild mandarin duck swimming on it. Gu Yunru was filled with anger when she saw it. She picked up a stone and wanted to break up the pair of mandarin ducks. At this time, a generous male voice sounded, "Why are you venting your anger on a duck for no reason?"

"It's you again..." Gu Yunru saw Liu Hanwen coming over again. It seemed like every day was very leisurely. Liu Hanwen sat on a stone, looked at Gu Yunru's angry and helpless expression, and then forced a faint smile.

"Is it about the prince's business again?"

"What does it have to do with you? I just want to calm down by myself." Gu Yunru said with a pout. At this moment, she just wanted to be quiet and didn't want to be disturbed by anyone.

"I think your loyalty to the prince is rare."

"That's a matter between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need others to interfere." Gu Yunru said indignantly. Liu Hanwen was too nosy.

"Okay...I won't say anything more."

The scene changed, Han Suche found Du Juan and asked her to get the elixir that Gu Yunru made back no matter what. Du Juan looked at her puzzledly and said, "What do you want the elixir for? Isn't it to save the life of that dog emperor?"

"That's why I asked you to take the pill back. You can't fulfill their wishes no matter what."

Du Juan was puzzled and didn't know how important the elixir was to her, but in order to achieve her wish, she disguised herself as a maid, entered the Tang Mansion, lived and ate with the maids, and hid her identity.

Gu Yunru poured all the precious medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace and started refining them. It would take several hours to see the results. He saw Ruyan walking towards him in a blue dress, with a sad face, as if she was worried about something.

"What's wrong with Ruyan? Is she worried about something?" Gu Yunru sat on the rattan chair with a palm-leaf fan in her hand, crossing her legs. She suddenly sighed and her expression became very gloomy.

"After so many days, I still haven't found Brother Wang's whereabouts. I don't know what happened to him, Yunru. Do you think he has encountered some danger, or has already arrived in Pingyang City, but no longer cares about me?"

Seeing that she had lost weight day and night because of missing Mr. Wang, he walked up to her, patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang should be fine. I have sent people to track down Mr. Wang's whereabouts, but there is still no news. But sometimes no news is the best news. Don't worry too much, he will be fine."

Ruyan sighed deeply, "I hope so, but I just can't let it go in my heart..." She sighed again. Seeing her depressed all day long, she knew that Mr. Wang was the best medicine to cure her depression.

At this time, Ji Heng came over, and Ruyan walked forward nervously and asked, "Did Brother Wang have any news?" Ji Heng shook his head and looked at Gu Yunru and said, "I have something to talk to the princess alone, please ask Miss Ruyan to step aside."

After hearing this, Ji Ruyan retreated to the side in frustration. After seeing Ji Ruyan leave, Ji Heng looked at Gu Yunru and said, "According to the princess's instructions, I have sent people to various places to arrange spies to find the whereabouts of Wang Sheng, but I didn't expect that Wang Sheng had fallen off the cliff and his body was nowhere to be found."

"What? Is this true? How did you know he fell off the cliff?" Gu Yunru looked at Ji Heng in surprise, and Ji Heng pursed his lips.

Just as he was about to tell them one by one, Ji Ruyan rushed out like the wind, grabbed Ji Heng by the collar and said, "You lied to me, you must be lying to me, right? Big Brother Wang will not die, Big Brother Wang will not die!"

Seeing that Ruyan had already entered a state of madness, Gu Yunru felt very uncomfortable and comforted her: "Ruyan, don't be like this. It's not what you think. Ji Heng, you should tell Ruyan the truth."

Knowing that he couldn't hide it any longer, he might as well tell the truth. Ji Heng sighed.

"Someone has discovered this thing on Mr. Wang. Miss Ji, you should be more familiar with it than anyone else." Mr. Wang has been carrying this sachet with him. It was sewed for him by his mother herself. There is also a peace amulet inside. If you put it close to your body, it will have the effect of warding off evil spirits and blessing peace.

Ji Heng and others found this amulet on the top of a tree on the cliff, which means that Wang Sheng had fallen off the cliff and his body was nowhere to be found. The cliff was thousands of feet high, and even a person with superb martial arts skills would have little chance of survival if he fell down.

Ruyan touched the amulet and smelled a faint musky scent. It was indeed Brother Wang's. Ruyan's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Gu Yunru stayed beside the unconscious Ruyan and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "What on earth is going on? People around me have bad news one after another. If this continues, I will be tortured into a mental illness."

Gu Yunru sat on the bed, looking at Shu'er beside her with resentment. Shu'er stepped forward with one hand pounding her cheek and said, "What can we do? Ruyan will cry and make a scene if she finds out about Mr. Wang. Aunt, I will send more people to watch over Ruyan these days."

"Um."

Shu'er selected several maids from the Tang Mansion and asked them to stay by Ji Ruyan's side day and night. If they found anything wrong, they had to report it in time. And Dujuan must have been among these maids.

Due to Shu'er's carelessness, she did not check the identities of these people. Dujuan looked at the unconscious Ruyan with a smile on her face.
