"No problem, she is the Yunru I mentioned to you, you two have met each other today."

Tingya enthusiastically introduced Gu Yunru to Chu Ziqiao, and Gu Yunru was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. Not wanting to delay the two people's flirting time, she left on the pretext of something. She walked alone on the bridge in depression, watching the water in the stream flow eastward, and from time to time a few carp jumped out.

"Why……"

Gu Yunru sighed, she had already messed up everything.

"What happened to me? A Chu Ziqiao suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Man proposes, God disposes." Gu Yunru muttered to herself but she didn't expect that a tall figure was approaching quietly from behind.

"What are you doing?"

Rong Zhen suddenly blurted out a sentence, which scared Gu Yunru so much that she lost her balance and almost fell into the river. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and put one hand through her soft waist and held her firmly against his chest.

Gu Yunru's face flushed red, and she said angrily: "What are you doing? Let me go!"

"Oh." Rong Zhen responded lightly and let go of his hand. Unexpectedly, Gu Yunru fell into the river with a splash and was almost choked to death.

"You... Hey, I can't swim!" Gu Yunru was afraid of water by nature. Because she had the trauma of being almost choked to death since childhood, she would scream involuntarily when she touched water, but she soon calmed down and found that the water in the stream was not even up to her waist.

At this moment, Rong Zhen was standing on the bridge, looking down at her, with a smile on his face. This guy came here to laugh at her with ulterior motives.

"Do you need me to pull you up?"

Rong Zhen looked at her for a moment, their eyes fixed on each other.

"No need. I can come up by myself!"

Gu Yunru was angry and insisted on coming up by herself, but she found that the bricks and stones here were very high. If no one helped her, she would probably not be able to come up even if she jumped until dark.

"You, who watch someone in danger without helping, are not a true gentleman. Hurry up and give me a hand!" Gu Yunru yelled at him impatiently. He just watched the show from the side without helping.

Rong Zhen pulled her to the shore calmly, and then said, "Go back and change your clothes."

"You don't need to remind me, you cold-blooded devil! Didn't you go out of the palace to handle military affairs? How come you are here?" Gu Yunru couldn't help feeling puzzled as she saw him suddenly appear here.

On second thought, it turned out that he was leaving with an excuse.

Gu Yunru saw that his expression was a little subtle, so she said proudly: "In fact, blindly avoiding it will not have any effect at all."

"You know this again?" Rong Zhen said coldly.

"I don't know, but I also know something. There might be some misunderstanding between you and the Queen Mother. You should try to resolve it."

Gu Yunru originally wanted to kindly persuade him to quit his criminal ways and face the problem head-on, but she didn't expect him to remain silent with a deep look in his eyes.

Every time when discussing this issue with him, he pretended to be stupid. Gu Yunru knew that he didn't want to face such a problem, so she simply didn't force him, unless one day he could be more self-aware.

"What were you mumbling just now? Who is Chu Ziqiao?" Rong Zhen recalled the name Gu Yunru said before she fell into the water. Could it be a new lover? This woman was really wild by nature. She actually met another man outside when he wasn't paying attention.

Gu Yunru straightened his chest and said confidently: "What does it have to do with you?"

"Of course it matters. If you dare to mess with me, I will kill your whole family."

“………”Gu Yunru was shocked by his domineering and powerful words.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..."

Seeing that she was shivering from the cold, Rong Zhen took off his coat and put it on her shoulders. Gu Yunru was really warmed by this subtle gesture, but she still said firmly: "Don't expect me to wash your clothes."

"Who needs you to wash clothes? I'm afraid you'll ruin them."

Rong Zhen chatted with her casually, sent her back to her residence, and changed her into clean clothes.

When Qingxing saw that the prince personally brought the young lady back, one could imagine the expression on her face. After serving the two of them a cup of tea, she left. There were only two of them left in the room, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

"Ahem, I just came back from the princess's residence, and was wondering if the marriage could be cancelled?"

"cannot."

After listening to this, Gu Yunru lowered his head even more.

Rong Zhen could see that her eyes were hiding something, and slowly put down the cup, "Did you meet that guy named Chu Ziqiao in Minglan Residence?"

"Uh...well...no." Gu Yunru shook her head and nodded from time to time, leaving him puzzled.

"Is it true?" Rong Zhen asked again patiently. If it were someone else, they would have been dragged away and beaten to death. But now his patience was worn out by the woman in front of him.

"Yes... The princess doesn't want to get married, what can we do?" The worry on Gu Yunru's face was like a gloomy cloud. She wondered if she could say a few good words for Rong Zhen. If Rong Zhen could understand, she could then go to the Queen Mother and the Emperor to plead for her, and maybe the marriage would be called off.

Unfortunately, reality slapped him in the face. Rong Zhen was too lazy to care about the affairs of the harem and just turned a blind eye to the princess's marriage.

"This matter is decided by the Emperor and the Queen Mother."

After Rong Zhen finished speaking, his originally gentle and indifferent expression revealed a bit of sharpness, "The princess's affairs don't have anything to do with you, do they?"

Hearing Rong Zhen's doubt, she quickly swallowed the tea in her mouth and shook her head seriously, "No, how could that be? What does it have to do with me?"

"If it has nothing to do with you, why do you care so much? Didn't you go to Minglan Residence these days to give the princess advice?"

Rong Zhen saw it at a glance. If it happened to someone else, wouldn't he also be able to see it at a glance? Is her action really so obvious? Isn't this pushing herself into a fire pit? Gu Yunru looked aggrieved, her face wrinkled into a ball, looking at Rong Zhen and said, "I don't want to, but the princess is so pitiful. She failed to escape the first time, so she had to use this method. I didn't expect that another person named Chu Ziqiao would appear. You must not tell the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

Gu Yunru believed that he was not a talkative person, so she simply told him the whole story.

"You are really brave. You know that you are committing a serious crime punishable by death and hindering the marriage between the two countries." Rong Zhen's eyes were slightly worried. This silly girl was so nosy.

"I know that, too. I found out later." Gu Yunru emphasized how innocent she was and how helpful she was, which was why she was in a dilemma.
