Gu Yunru came to them carrying a medicine box. The moment Yin Cheng saw Gu Yunru, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
"Aunt Wang, you're here!" Yin Zu walked up to her and put the medicine box aside, knowing that she was going to treat Yin Cheng.
"Yin Cheng, how have you been feeling recently? Do you have any symptoms of discomfort?"
Gu Yunru put his wrist on the table and carefully took his pulse to see if there was anything unusual.
"Aunt Wang, I just feel dizzy and nauseous these few days and can't eat, but there's nothing wrong with me otherwise." Yin Cheng hasn't eaten for several days because of the passing of the empress dowager. The weight he had gained with great difficulty was suddenly lost again.
"Yin Cheng, you can't do this. You must take the tonic prescriptions I prescribed for you on time and in the right amount, otherwise it will have no effect."
After taking Yin Cheng's pulse, Gu Yunru finally understood that this boy was depressed and seemed to have a heavy psychological burden and psychological problems.
"Ancestor Yin, please go back first. I have something to say to your seventh brother."
"Okay." Yin Zu obediently left the yard, leaving only the two of them.
"Aunt Wang, do I not have much time left?" Yin Cheng looked at Aunt Wang's expression and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you not have much time left? Your best years haven't even begun yet." Gu Yunru wrote the prescription while looking at his skinny body. He must be treated well.
"This is the schedule I wrote for you. You will exercise for two hours every morning. No matter what you do, you must sweat profusely. Then go to the kitchen to help those people chop wood. The amount of exercise must be more than your usual rest time. If you are tired, take a proper rest. If you are not too tired, you must sweat profusely. Do you understand?"
Yin Cheng was a little confused. Seeing that she had set the hours for each day, it was clear what to do at a certain time. He looked at Gu Yunru gratefully and said, "Thank you Aunt Wang for your concern. If it weren't for God Wang, I might still be a sickly person now."
"You're welcome. By the way, Yin Cheng, have you been having nightmares? Sometimes you feel like you're suffocating, especially when you hear thunder at night, your breathing will involuntarily speed up. Is this the case?" Gu Yunru could tell at a glance from his evasive expression that this child was very worried, and he had always been neglected. When encountering this kind of situation, many children would develop huge psychological trauma from an early age.
"Aunt Wang, how did you know? But those things are all in the past, and there's no need to mention them again." Yin Cheng smiled bitterly. He seemed free and easy, but in fact, his heart was already shrouded in a haze. If his psychological problems were not cured, his body would be affected.
"The Queen Mother passed away suddenly, partly because of the chain reaction caused by the problems in the harem. First it was the Emperor, then the Third Prince, then the First Prince, and now the foreign envoy wants to ask for the Eighth Princess' hand in marriage. This is forcing the issue." Gu Yunru framed the question, and seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, she sighed and said, "I know you don't blame the Queen. You may have always resented your own incompetence. But listen to Aunt Wang's advice. It's too early to practice Kung Fu now. You need to take care of your body now."
"Aunt Wang..." Yin Cheng looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that even his secret Kung Fu practice could be seen through by her at a glance.
"Okay, you don't have to explain to me. I am just a little female official who is treating you. You don't have to think too highly of me, nor do you have to think too highly of me. " Gu Yunru talked and laughed with him to relieve the pressure in his heart. Yin Cheng fell silent and told her what was going on with the haze in his heart.
"My mother was Concubine Rong, but she was always envied by the ladies in the harem. Not long after she gave birth to me, she passed away. Some people said that it was the Queen's order, while others said that it was her own fault. This was the result of her betrayal of her master.
Many people were saying... many people were spreading it, so I asked the Queen to move to Qiulan Garden. That courtyard was remote and no one was around, and I couldn't hear anyone yelling at me. I thought I could live peacefully like this, but I didn't expect the Queen didn't intend to spare my life.
The old maid sent here is also someone close to her. She is used to poisoning and using incompatible ingredients in medicine. I have discovered this myself, but I just don't want to say it out loud. I have lived for so many years, it's time to pay it back.
But I didn't know that the Queen hated me so deeply... The trauma of my childhood was still caused by my mother's difficult labor. In addition, I had lived in Qiulan Garden for a long time and could hear strange noises every night. Some eunuchs said that many people had died there, most of them were eunuchs and palace maids who were executed.
Because they had an affair, they were beaten to death and their bodies were thrown near Qiulan Garden. One night, I was sleeping soundly and a strong wind blew, opening the doors and windows. I saw a palace maid standing at the door covered in blood. I was so scared that I couldn't scream.
I remember I had a high fever the next day. Fortunately... the Queen Mother noticed it and pulled me back from the brink of death, so I didn’t die early. You also know what happened later. I was scared that time, and my body became bad after the high fever..."
"Is it true that you saw a ghost? Is it possible that you were dreaming?" Gu Yunru actually felt a little bit magical when he heard this. How could a ghost appear out of nowhere? There was only one possibility: someone wanted to scare him.
“What I saw was true, and the rumors were also very realistic. Many eunuchs and palace maids died near Qiulan Garden. It was originally a wasteland and haunted house. After moving in, such rumors have never stopped.

I remember that night very clearly. The doors and windows were suddenly opened, and the blood-covered palace maid stood at the door and stuck out her long tongue at me. I was so scared that I fainted at that moment..."
When Gu Yunru saw him talking about this, her pupils shrank involuntarily, a defensive fear. She quickly pressed his wrist to comfort him, "Okay, don't think about those things anymore. Isn't everything fine now? That maid never came back to look for you, right?"
"That woman never came back to see me, so my body became weaker day by day..."
"I understand. That means that the shadow is still affecting you, right?" Gu Yunru asked step by step while taking notes of the interview. Looking at his expression and uneasy heart, she did feel a suppressed fear.
