"Um."

Gu Yunru sorted out the medicine box. Seeing that she was about to leave, Yin Zu offered to accompany her for a few steps. When they arrived at the palace gate, Gu Yunru could not help but stop and look at Yin Zu and said, "Yin Zu, do you think Yue Er has been acting a little strange since she returned to the palace?"

"Yuer? You really aren't as lively as before."

Yin Zu also discovered that Rong Yue had become very different since she was sent back. She was like two different people. Her eyes were not as clear and bright as before, and she always looked serious.

"Then do you know the whereabouts of Liusu?" Gu Yunru looked at Yin Zu's expression, trying to see if he was lying. This Liusu must be the key. Liusu disappeared when Rongyue disappeared. This Liusu must know something.

"I don't know why Liusu feels so mysterious. I don't know who she is. I asked Yue'er, but she didn't want to say anything. She seemed very mysterious. She got angry and unhappy when we asked about this matter, so I stopped asking more questions to take care of her feelings."

"So that's how it is. Okay then, but you should pay more attention to your mother's mood these days, especially at night. Do you understand?"

Gu Yunru gave him a small reminder to see if he had the wisdom to figure it out.

Yin Zu nodded blankly. The carriage from the palace came to pick up Gu Yunru. As soon as he got on the carriage, he found Rong Zhen sitting there, looking at him with a smile, "Why did you come to pick me up in person? I am really flattered."

"I just miss you. I've heard about Yin Cheng's incident. I didn't expect the queen to be so vicious." Rong Zhen felt guilty towards his brother when he thought about it. He looked ahead with a complicated expression, and his heart ached. Gu Yunru took his hand and comforted him, "Okay, things haven't come to that point yet. You don't have to be so angry. The queen has lost the third prince now, and she must be very sad. Let's put ourselves in her shoes and not add fuel to the fire." Gu Yunru asked Concubine Cao to handle this matter. Perhaps the queen mother would be more measured and more experienced.

"Um."

After returning to the mansion, the servants had already prepared a table full of food. Ji Ruyan sat aside with a heavy heart. Wu Liang had been eating and drinking here for many days and seemed reluctant to leave. Gu Yunru couldn't help but joked, "Brother Wu, you have been here for seven days, right? When are you going to pay for the room and food?"

"You actually want my meal money?" Wu Liang looked at her with a helpless look.

Rong Zhen ate his meal quietly, watching the two people talking and laughing noisily. Ji Ruyan put down her bowl and chopsticks with a heavy heart, looked at everyone and said, "I'm done, you guys continue eating."

"Oh..." Gu Yunru looked at her bowl and saw that there was still half of the food left. She stopped eating halfway through, and no one knew what blow she had suffered.

"A Zhao, did something happen while I was away from home these two days?" Gu Yunru stretched her neck curiously and looked at Rong Zhen. Rong Zhen's expression seemed to have a story and something hidden.

"Well... I have to go to the government office later to see how the case is going. You guys can eat first." Rong Zhen seemed to be trying to avoid this question and left before saying a few words. Gu Yunru hung his head in dismay and looked at Wu Liang and said, "Brother, what do you think of Miss Ruyan?" Gu Yunru felt that it didn't matter if Ruyan stayed here for her whole life, and helping him find happiness in the second half of his life was the most important thing.

"Ah... Miss Ruyan has a gentle personality and outstanding temperament, very good." Wu Liang said perfunctorily while drinking soup. "Really? That means you have a good impression of Miss Ruyan, right?" Gu Yunru looked at him happily, and Wu Liang was walking step by step into the trap she set.

"What are you going to say?" Wu Liang stared at her curiously and slowly swallowed the food in his mouth. Gu Yunru sat in front of him pretending to be serious and gently moistened her throat.

"Well, how about you two try dating each other? Maybe he is the man of your dreams!"

Gu Yunru rubbed his palms, imagining the scene of their date, and even setting up the date scene for them.

"Isn't this...not good?"

"What's wrong with that? You're not married and she's not married yet. You two can try to get to know each other first. Besides, your appearances are a perfect match!" Wu Liang savored his words carefully and suddenly felt as light as if he was in the clouds.

"This is a good idea. I haven't had a heart-to-heart talk with a girl for a long time. But you can see that Miss Ruyan is aloof by nature. She doesn't have any interest in me. I don't think there is any need to force her..." He shook his head, thinking that this idea was a bit unrealistic.

"Leave Ruyan to me, you just need to wait patiently for the arrangements!" Gu Yunru had several ideas in his mind and thought of several date plans, so he ran to Ruyan's room to persuade him.

I thought I would have to persuade Ruyan until she agreed, but I didn't expect that she nodded and agreed without hesitation as soon as I proposed the plan. Gu Yunru was so stunned that he forgot what to say next.

"You just agreed to it, don't you even have any doubts?" Gu Yunru touched his chin, feeling that Ruyan was very strange. When did she become so easy to talk to? "Don't worry, I'll leave it to you how to date. I'm not very proficient in this area. Brother Wang has been gone for so long, and it's time for me to start a new life." Ruyan comforted Gu Yunru. Gu Yunru quickly shook his head, nodded quickly, and began to make a date plan.

The next morning, they were asked to take a walk by the lake and go boating together. Wu Liang was a complete chatterbox, so they should be able to find many common topics. Wu Liang was wearing a dark blue shirt, looking like a dignified and elegant scholar.

"Ahem, green mountains and clear waters bring smiles, Miss Ruyan, do you think this scenery is beautiful?" Wu Liang held a folding fan in his hand, looking at Miss Ruyan, who was standing on the deck in pink clothes, with her sleeves fluttering, as if she was a fairy from the mortal world, making him linger. If he could be alone with such a fairy, he would be satisfied in this life! "Ahem..." Wu Liang saw that she didn't say a word, but just stared blankly at the front. There were green mountains and rocks in front, and there was nothing to see. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, he proposed to recite a poem.

"How about this, I write a few lines of poetry to describe Miss Ruyan's beauty?"

"Yeah." Ruyan nodded but wanted to see what words he could come up with.
