As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left angrily. Gu Yunru took a breath. It seemed that there was something wrong with the way she asked the question, which made her so indignant and even excited.

Gu Yunru stayed in Xianfu Palace, but in the middle of the night she seemed to hear some noise in the main house, which made her feel uncomfortable all over and she wanted to go out to find out what was going on.

Seeing a black shadow quickly passing over the eaves and seemed to enter Concubine Wan's room, Gu Yunru quickly took the cloak, extinguished the candle, and followed stealthily, wanting to see what evil spirit was causing the trouble.

Could it be that Concubine Wan's fellow villager came to the palace to see her? But then again, most of the people in the palace are eunuchs, and it is impossible for anyone to get pregnant with her. That means this person is most likely a guard from the forest guard team, or someone outside the palace.

After having this idea, Gu Yunru felt even more magical and excited. She slowly crawled to the foot of the wall, trying to listen to any movement in the house. Concubine Wan was just about to take a rest, but when she unexpectedly found someone walking in from the door, she sat up excitedly.

"Don't move." The man's voice was very hoarse, deep and powerful. From the sound of his footsteps, one could tell that he must be a martial arts master. He came and went without a trace, which meant that he could not be a member of the Yulin Army, but a mysterious master outside the palace. He was wearing a black cloak and a black hat, so it was hard to tell what he looked like.

"You are finally here. Our child is gone. When will you take me away from this place?" Concubine Wan cried to him in a weak and low voice, with a trembling voice, which showed that Concubine Wan was indeed very aggrieved. She cried to the man in black, and the man in black held her in his arms and comforted her softly.

"Don't worry, I have already given orders to the Admiral to make preparations quickly. Yin Bai is already dead, and the next one will be Yin Li. When we help our child to ascend the throne, we can stay together forever."

The man in black promised her and held her hand tightly. Gu Yunru, who was listening outside, turned pale. She didn't expect that they would also attack the second prince and then help the fourth prince to the throne. The fourth prince was the one who cheated him. He probably wasn't of royal blood! Thinking of this, she hurriedly slipped away, but unexpectedly kicked a small stone. The man in black heard the movement outside and quickly opened the door. He only saw a black cat in the corner of the wall, which quickly flashed past him. He was relieved. Gu Yunru was hiding behind a big pillar at this time. He took a deep breath and hurried back to the house.

"Damn it, I didn't expect that Concubine Wan had so many secrets!" Gu Yunru didn't dare to light the candle and sat down at the table excitedly.

The next morning, Gu Yunru came to visit Concubine Wan. When she thought about what happened last night, she couldn't bear to watch it, but she had to pretend that she knew nothing and continued to prescribe medicine for her and take her pulse.

At this time, a palace maid came to report that an envoy from a foreign country came to ask for the marriage of the Eighth Princess, and was discussing this matter with Concubine Cao and others in Qixiang Palace. She asked Concubine Wan if she wanted to go and listen. Gu Yunru glanced at the palace maid, who was someone close to Concubine Cao, and said to her, "Please tell Concubine Cao that Concubine Wan is not in good health right now. Let them discuss these things first, and then ask Concubine Wan when they have a conclusion."

"yes……"

Concubine Wan sat on the bed with a worried look on her face. She watched Gu Yunru turn around and walk towards her. She excitedly grabbed her hand and said, "What should we do? I didn't expect the foreign envoys to come so soon. Now that the new emperor doesn't have a suitable candidate, they are in a hurry to go for a marriage..."

"Don't worry, Concubine Wan. Nothing has been decided yet. Concubine Cao will make sure everything is settled."

"But you know that Cao Yinyue has always disliked me. Now that the foreign envoy is coming to ask for the princess' hand in marriage, she will definitely marry Yue'er to him. However, my daughter has suffered so much, and I was unable to keep her by my side to take good care of her. Princess, please, don't let Concubine Cao do anything to Yue'er..."

Seeing Concubine Wan crying, Gu Yunru felt mixed emotions. She straightened her body, wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and comforted her gently, "Don't worry, the foreign envoy will probably have to stay in the capital for a while. There are more princesses of marriageable age in the palace than just the eighth and ninth princesses. There is also a little princess. Have you forgotten?"

This little princess has the weakest presence. Her name is Rong Pingting. She is not as eye-catching as the Eighth Princess or as delicate and pleasing as the Ninth Princess. She has always been unknown and has no sense of presence. It is said that her mother is just a noble lady with ordinary appearance who died of dystocia. Therefore, this little princess has been raised by Nanny Hua and grew up beside the Queen Mother. She usually learns things from the Grand Tutor and seldom enters the palace.

"Pingting...if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about this person..." Concubine Wan suddenly calmed down and was no longer as anxious to make a fuss as before. She asked Gu Yunru to help her find a solution.

After Gu Yunru left Xianfu Palace, she bumped into the dazed Fourth Prince Yin Zu. Yin Zu looked at her and asked hurriedly, "How is my mother's health?"

"Don't worry, Fourth Prince. Your mother's body is fine. She just needs to rest for a while. Don't go in and disturb her. Do you understand?"

"I see. By the way, Princess, can you go see my seventh brother?"

"Why doesn't the Seventh Prince have an imperial physician to take care of him in the palace?" Gu Yunru turned around and looked at him in confusion. The Fourth Prince was actually warm-hearted and very kind.

"There are only a few doctors in the palace, and all of them are incompetent in serving my seventh brother. His cough has not been cured yet, and it relapses even more severely in spring. The queen has simply ordered people to isolate him and no one is allowed to see my seventh brother. He hasn't gone out for a long time. If he continues like this, he will become a sickly person."

Yin Zu seemed very worried and sympathized with his younger brother. Gu Yunru thought that since he had nothing else to do, he asked the Fourth Prince to lead the way and went to the Seventh Prince's palace together. Unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince's palace was so far away from the main palace that it took several turns to get there.

After walking a few steps, both of them were sweating profusely. The Fourth Prince took a handkerchief and put it in Gu Yunru's hand, "Princess, you can also use this to wipe it."
