The emperor finally exploded. He walked up to the two of them and slapped Concubine Ying hard. Gu Yunru was so scared that she didn't dare to breathe. Rong Zhen noticed Gu Yunru's appearance, so he wanted to chase after her to explain.

Gu Yunru ran very fast all the way because she didn't want him to catch up with her.

She didn't know why she suddenly felt uncomfortable. This was the first time she had this feeling since she came here.

"Qing Xing, hurry up, close the door and don't let anyone in!"

"Miss, what happened?"

Qingxing's face turned pale.

"Close the door quickly!" Gu Yunru insisted that the door must be closed. Qingxing nodded. When Rong Zhen rushed to the door, it had been ruthlessly closed. For some reason, seeing her panic-stricken look, his heart was also moved.

Just as Rong Zhen was about to say something, the candle in the room suddenly went out...

Qing Xing had been leaning against the door listening to the footsteps outside. When she left, she slowly lit the candle. She looked at Gu Yunru with fear and asked, "What's wrong, Miss? Is there an assassin in the palace again?"

"It's not an assassin, it's Rong Zhen."

"Your Majesty? Did Miss offend your Majesty?"

"No, I can't explain it clearly. You should go back to your room and sleep. I want to rest too."

Gu Yunru felt like she was almost losing half her life after running all the way. She lay on the bed, thinking about all sorts of things, but couldn't fall asleep with her eyes closed. It seemed like tonight was destined to be another sleepless night.

At this time, Rong Zhen was sitting in the house. Qingfeng poured a cup of tea and looked at the prince sweating profusely. He couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Prince, was the banquet tonight unsuccessful? Why did you come back in such a mess?"

Rong Zhen glanced at Qingfeng with sharp eyes, and Qingfeng didn't dare to say anything more. He immediately turned around, closed the door, and retreated. Rong Zhen was the only one left in the huge room, and his lonely and thin back looked very cold.

The next day, Gu Yunru got up and opened the door, only to find a figure lingering in front of her. She looked closely and realized it was Rong Zhen. Why did he come so early?

Gu Yunru hadn't mustered up the courage to confront him yet, so she quickly closed the door. She didn't know why, but the moment she saw him, she suddenly became panicked without any warning. She had never felt this way before.

Could it be... This absurd thought came to her mind. She had originally thought that marrying into the palace and becoming a princess would be nice, gaining a real reputation and living a carefree life. But she didn't expect that she would feel nervous and miss someone just like Tingya...

"Gu Yunru! You can't be a coward." Gu Yunru said to herself and shook her head quickly. Qingxing, who was about to go in to serve, saw that the prince was still outside the house, so she warmly invited him in for a cup of tea.

"Miss, the prince is here."

Gu Yunru lost the courage to open the door instantly. This Qing Xing...

"I'm here." Gu Yunru cleared her throat, pushed open the door, and found that Rong Zhen was not in good spirits, probably because he did not sleep well last night.

Rong Zhen sat on the chair and looked at Gu Yunru opposite him and asked, "You didn't sleep last night?"

"Ah... Impossible..." Gu Yunru secretly glanced at the bronze mirror not far away, only to find that her eyes were like those of a giant panda, and the dark circles under her eyes were even more obvious than Rong Zhen's.

"Um... maybe it's because of a stiff neck from sleeping. Is there something that brings you here so early?" Gu Yunru smiled awkwardly.

"Tingya has a rash on her face. The emperor plans to take a sister in to marry outside the Great Wall instead of the princess."

"What! That's great." Gu Yunru was so excited that her butt had already left the chair.

"Sorry, I'm a little excited. Who is so lucky to be chosen by the emperor to be his sister?" Gu Yunru's eyes lit up faintly, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"There is a pretty maid in the laundry department. Don't worry, she volunteered."

"That's good. That's good."

Gu Yunru heaved a sigh of relief. The princess's matter had come to an end. Finally, she no longer had to be threatened by the princess to help her with advice.

"What happened last night..." Rong Zhen wanted to say something, but when he saw her quick reaction, he swallowed his words back.

"How was Concubine Ying last night?"

Gu Yunru also saw the emperor's rage. Concubine Ying has been favored since she entered the palace. Although she was suppressed by Concubine Shu, it could not change the emperor's desire to favor her.

"She's...under house arrest."

"Then you..." Gu Yunru didn't know what the emperor was feeling at the moment. The concubine he had been thinking about liked his younger brother. Any man would feel very upset, right? "I'm fine." Rong Zhen said one sentence at a time. Gu Yunru felt relieved while holding the cup.

Millennium Palace.

Concubine Shu looked at the phoenix hairpin on the table with pride, raised her eyebrows and said, "Put this phoenix hairpin with pearls on my head today. I will show off my power in the palace and let everyone see who is the one who should assist in managing the six palaces."

Zi Luo and Zi Yan looked at each other with faint smiles on their faces. Concubine Shu wore many jewels and silver hairpins on her head.

In the Yangxin Palace, Concubine Shu dressed up specially and cooked a bowl of white fungus and lotus seeds to visit the emperor, but she was stopped at the door by a small stool, saying that the emperor was not in the mood to see others at the moment.

"How dare you stop me!" Concubine Shu looked at the small stool with displeasure and glared at him fiercely.

"Please calm down, Concubine Shu. The Emperor doesn't want to see anyone right now."

"I know that the emperor is unhappy, so I came here to help him solve his problems."

"But……"

"But what? But you, a dog slave, are becoming more and more daring."

Concubine Shu glared at him with disgust. Xiaodiaozi had no choice but to let her in. However, she didn't expect that she would be ruthlessly kicked out by the emperor.

Concubine Shu was walking in the imperial garden with a depressed look on her face, and happened to see Gu Yunru wearing a white long dress.

"This woman looks unfamiliar, who is she?"

Zi Luo asked a nearby eunuch and came back to report.

"To reply to Madam Shufei, this is Gu Yunru. Last time, she insisted on intervening in Biluo's affairs and helped Concubine Ying deal with Madam Shufei."

"So she is Gu Yunru." Concubine Shu smiled, but the smile was a little cold, making people feel chilly.

Zi Luo knew that this girl named Gu Yunru was about to die.

He followed Concubine Shu with the attitude of watching a good show.

"Qingxing, the butterflies are here, hurry up!" Seeing that the weather was good today, Gu Yunru took Qingxing to the Imperial Garden to catch butterflies. She must try this kind of entertainment activity.

"Miss, I can't run anymore." Qing Xing was sweating profusely as she ran, but the butterflies were flying too high, and the flowers in the imperial garden were in full bloom, dazzling the eyes, and for a moment she could not tell the difference between the butterflies and the flowers.
