"They are genuine brother and sister, don't let your imagination run wild!" Gu Yunru looked at him with a smile on his face. The three of them were sitting around the stone table drinking afternoon tea. The presence of an extra man made him feel uncomfortable.

"Ji Heng. Is everything alright at the Dali Temple?" Gu Yunru tried every means to get this man away. He was really too much of a nuisance! "It's alright, but those bandits haven't been caught yet... but it's not my business." Ji Heng seemed very carefree, just like he was retiring before his death.

“………”

"Ahem, Ruyan, I haven't seen Aojun for a long time. Why don't you accompany me to the Shen Mansion to see Aojun tomorrow? An'er and Huan'er are both very smart. You will definitely like them!"

Ji Heng didn't recognize Shen Aojun, but when he heard her say this, he interrupted out of curiosity. Gu Yunru rolled her eyes. Ji Heng had clearly signaled him to stay away, but he still seemed unaware. Did she really have to force him to speak clearly?

"Ji Heng, Shu'er may feel lonely at home. You must spend more time with him and don't let him have any wild thoughts. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, she has a lot of things to do at home alone..."

"Oh..." Gu Yunru sighed silently. Three days had passed, and Rong Yue's whereabouts were still not found. Rong Zhen returned to the house and drank half a glass of wine. Gu Yunru saw that he was full of sorrow today, so he drank, and hurriedly stepped forward to take away his glass.

"You're really something! Ever since you got injured, I've told you again not to drink. How come you broke down again today?" Gu Yunru was a little unhappy. Only after she scolded him like this did he realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Yue'er is now in doubt about her life or death. Concubine Wan also knows about this matter. She said that she would bring Yin Zu to the palace to stay for a while and check if there is any news about Yue'er. Someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent me a letter. I have asked someone to prepare two rooms for them to stay in. They will come tomorrow."

"So that's how it is. Then why are you worried?" Gu Yunru sat beside him and listened to him share his worries.

"I'm worried because I feel ashamed to face them. Three days have passed and Yue'er is still missing, and I'm extremely worried."

Gu Yunru hugged one of his arms and said, "Don't worry. Sometimes no news is the best news. I believe Yue'er will not be in danger of life. Maybe one day when he figures it out, he will come back."

"Maybe, but the foreign envoys are pressing hard. They think they want to marry the Ninth Princess and take Yu'er to a foreign country."

"Yu'er is going to marry. She is only half a month away from reaching the age of marriage. Logically, she is also old enough to marry, but we haven't figured out the other party's background yet. Would it be inappropriate to hand Yu'er over without authorization?"

Now that Concubine Cao is in charge of the harem, perhaps he can find a solution to this problem.

Rong Yue looked at the big man who had just vented his anger, silently clenched her fists, and when he was not paying attention, she scratched his neck with the broken pieces of the bowl, and the big man fell in a pool of blood.

The younger brother heard the noise and rushed down to check, but he didn't expect that his elder brother was already dead. He picked up his weapon and was ready to deal with Rong Yue. Rong Yue knelt down in front of him.

"Actually, I've always liked you. If you're willing, put down what you have in your hand and I can give it to you right away..." As he said that, he took off his bellyband and stood naked in front of him. The younger brother swallowed his saliva. Every night when he heard his elder brother doing this woman, his blood was already boiling. He had never tasted a woman before, so he relaxed his vigilance for a moment, but was killed by Rong Yue unexpectedly, and the fragments were stuck in his throat.

"You all go to hell!" Rong Yue cursed viciously and poured all her belongings on the two of them. She put on her clothes and crawled out of the dark basement in a panic. When she reached the door, she found that it was already dark. She had to find a place to change clothes, so she went to a family's yard and stole a set of clean clothes to change into.

When coming out of the yard, Rong Yue, who was caught off guard and panicked, bumped into a person's solid chest. She took a few steps back before realizing it was Yin Cheng. She quickly turned around, not wanting to be recognized by him.

Yin Cheng was confused. As it was getting dark and she couldn't see clearly, the person opposite her said, "A woman should not go out so late at night to avoid any danger." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Rong Yue stared at Yin Cheng's back and decided to follow him closely to see what he was doing. Early the next morning, Concubine Wan and Yin Zu entered Prince Zhao's mansion, and the family sat around the stone table and ate breakfast.

Concubine Wan looked a little tired. Rong Yue's matter tortured her to the point where she was living a life worse than death. It had been four or five days, but she still hadn't found Yue'er's whereabouts.

"Mother, you should drink some porridge to relieve your internal heat. You see, there are more and more pimples on your face." Yin Zu felt extremely distressed when he saw this. He scooped a spoonful of porridge and placed it in front of her. Concubine Wan was in her current state and could neither eat nor sleep, and it was difficult for her to swallow at all.

Gu Yunru sat down next to Concubine Wan, took her wrist and felt her pulse. She didn't expect that she was pregnant again, so she asked all the men to leave, leaving only her and Concubine Wan.

"Didn't you promise me that you would not have any contact with that man again? You are pregnant again so soon." Gu Yunru was simply puzzled. Are all the women in the harem so lonely and unbearable? The emperor had been gone for such a long time, but Concubine Wan was still having affairs with other women. It was really unbelievable.

"I'm sorry, Princess, I disappoint you, but..."

"You don't have to tell me these things, but who is that man? Why was he able to sneak into the palace when it was heavily guarded? What happened during that time?"

Gu Yunru was extremely curious about the man in black. He felt that he should be quite familiar with this man in black, but he didn't know why. This man in black was like a cold sword in the dark, which would be released when no one was paying attention, catching everyone off guard.

"You don't recognize me, but I'm a cousin from my hometown. I'm good at martial arts, so I can often sneak into the harem quietly just to accompany me. In fact, entering the palace was ordered by my parents, and I had no choice but to obey. But the emperor has no feelings for me at all..."

Concubine Wan had a sudden inspiration and quickly came up with an excuse, but it could not convince Gu Yunru.
