"Alas, these are all things that are destined to happen. There is nothing much to say. You don't know how much the sisters in the palace envy you, Princess Zhao, for being able to love the prince as before, and the prince has not taken a concubine and is devoted to you."
Concubine Wan's eyes were full of envy. Which of the majority of women in the palace didn't envy Gu Yunru? With that said, Gu Yunru couldn't help but feel a little proud and complacent.
"My dear, please stop talking about these things..." Gu Yunru's face turned red with shame. She and Rong Zhen have been an old couple for a long time. Their love has been sublimated into family affection. They are devoted to each other, so naturally there will be no changes.
At this moment, the eunuch beside Concubine Wan came over and said to her, "Concubine Wan, the front hall is discussing which princess to marry to a foreign country. Everyone says that the Eighth Princess will not be allowed to go, saying that the Eighth Princess's reputation has been ruined!"
"What!"
At this moment, Rong Yue was crying and wanted to hang herself. The palace maids beside her tried to stop her and wailed. Concubine Wan and Gu Yunru went over side by side and stopped her. Looking at the hurt look on the Eighth Princess's face, she was probably about to commit suicide because of these rumors.
"Yuer, you must never do anything stupid!" Tears welled up in Concubine Wan's eyes and she hugged Rong Yue in her arms.
"Eighth Princess, why are you doing this? It's not entirely your fault." Gu Yunru comforted her and asked the palace maids and eunuchs to disperse. Seeing that the room was in a mess, it seemed that she was indeed very worried about this matter.
"Liusu... It's Liusu!" Rong Yue suddenly mentioned the word Liusu. Concubine Wan's expression became a little complicated, as if she didn't want her to continue talking. However, Gu Yunru discovered the trick and prepared to come again at night to ask about the Eighth Princess' situation.
"Lady Wan, let her have a good rest first. She is too nervous. Let's go out first."
"good."
After leaving the yard, both of them returned to their respective places with their own thoughts. Before leaving, they came to see Yin Cheng and saw him reading, and they couldn't help but smile.
"I knew it was Aunt Wang!" Yin Cheng was very happy to see Gu Yunru. He walked forward with a sunny and handsome smile. He had gained a lot of weight in recent days, so his body was not so thin that his bones were about to be exposed, which was chilling.
"How do you know it's Aunt Wang?" Gu Yunru was tired from walking, so she sat down to rest, drank a few sips of tea, and watched the boy become more cheerful. She nodded with satisfaction.
"Who else would come to see me besides Aunt Wang? I heard that the foreign envoys wanted the princess to marry. I always feel that this matter is out of control. The foreign country must be trying to find something to hold against us. If we do what they want, they will definitely think that we are easy to bully."
What Gu Yunru didn't expect was that Yin Cheng's words were so insightful, so she nodded.
"Yin Cheng, you usually live in the backyard, why are you so concerned about the affairs of the previous dynasty?" Gu Yunru looked at his big, twinkling eyes curiously, which made him a little shy.
Yin Cheng was stunned, obviously not expecting him to ask this question.
"It's like this. Although he was bedridden, he could occasionally hear rumors from the servants in the palace. Over time, he was able to grasp some aspects of the government." Yin Cheng smiled bitterly, and Gu Yunru nodded thoughtfully.
When she returned to the mansion, she told Rong Zhen about Yin Cheng's idea, "Do you think he is a very thoughtful child?" Gu Yunru massaged Rong Zhen's arm, and seeing that he looked intoxicated, she pinched the muscle on his arm fiercely, "I'm talking to you, and you are pretending to be deaf and dumb again?!"
"I dare not. I have heard what my wife said just now. Yin Cheng is indeed a child with a lot of ideas, but his knowledge and experience are really not as good as Yin Li's."
"That's because he has never had the opportunity to see so much. The Second Prince has traveled a lot and has seen everything, so he naturally knows more than him. But I think Yin Cheng's analysis of some objective issues is very neutral."
Gu Yunru excitedly sat down and told him how outstanding Yin Cheng was. Although he had been hurt, he still stood up strong. This alone was something that many princes could not achieve.
"What exactly do you want to tell me?" Rong Zhen saw her talking nonstop and knew that she must have something she wanted to ask him to do.
"It's like this, don't rush to compare the other princesses. The Eighth Princess has been in a life-threatening situation recently, and it's all because of the gossip of those servants. These people are really despicable!" Thinking of this, Gu Yunru clenched her fists silently.
"Everyone in the palace is like this. In fact, they don't care how things develop, as long as they are happy." Rong Zhen had long understood those people's tempers thoroughly, and didn't take this matter to heart at all.
"That's what you say, but she's a princess! How can a princess' reputation be passed down by word of mouth? It's not certain whether Yue'er will be able to get married in the future." Gu Yunru couldn't help but feel sorry for little Yue'er, thinking of the information she had revealed that she had not had time to collect.
"I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go into the palace first." Gu Yunru snapped her fingers at him, and sneaked into the palace under the cover of night.

When they arrived near Xianfu Palace, they saw a man in black walking out of Concubine Wan's room. Driven by curiosity, they followed him stealthily.
She wanted to know who this Concubine Wan was. Maybe she was someone she knew. It was quite exciting to think about it.
The man in black walked all the way to the West Palace, as if he was going to leave the palace from another direction. It seemed that he knew the route map of the palace very well. He must be a master of cheating! Gu Yunru walked behind him and followed him secretly. Tracking people has reached a certain level of success, and the other party will never find out.
After leaving the palace, the man in black went into the dark forest. Such a desolate and remote place is not something that ordinary people can enter.
"Oh my goodness, long dong, where is this place?" Gu Yunru felt a shiver behind her and a cool breeze blew into her sleeves.
He walked step by step, but found that the man in black had appeared behind him. The man in black didn't seem to be stupid and soon realized that someone was following him.
