Rong Zhen walked in expressionlessly, but the aura around him made people tremble all over.

Cheng Shaoyuan knew that his presence was somewhat redundant, so he bowed to the two of them and prepared to leave.

"Hey, Brother Cheng, thank you for the pear blossom cake." Gu Yunru looked at Cheng Shaoyuan's back with a smile on her face, but Rong Zhen, who was standing beside her, didn't look very happy when he saw this.

"You're welcome." Cheng Shaoyuan stepped out, and they were the only two left in the room. The atmosphere seemed a little weird.

"What's wrong with you? Do you want to try the pear blossom cake?" Gu Yunru came here and was deeply attracted by the pear blossom cake. She had never eaten cakes as delicious as pear blossom cake.

"This kind of thing is for common people to eat." Rong Zhen looked disdainful. Gu Yunru held the osmanthus cake in her hand with an unhappy look and said, "I forgot that the prince eats delicacies from land and sea. How could he look down on this little pear blossom cake?"

Rong Zhen heard the sarcasm in her words and looked at the pear blossom cake on the table. When he remembered that it was bought by that boy, he lost his desire to eat.

"The prescription you gave me worked very well. Those soldiers who were on the verge of death were saved. They are very grateful to you." Rong Zhen said such heartwarming words with a stern face. People who didn't know would think he was here to collect debts. Gu Yunru swallowed the pear blossom cake in a few mouthfuls, blinked his starry eyes, looked at him innocently and said, "So you are here to thank me."

"No...no." Rong Zhen turned his head to deny, but his face inevitably turned red.

"You still say no. By the way, Lu Yun has suddenly disappeared these few days, I think it's a bit strange."

Gu Yunru didn't originally keep an eye on Chuxiu Palace, but Xiaodengzi reported back that Chuxiu Palace had been too quiet in recent days. He witnessed with his own eyes that Luyun replaced the medicine jar that Ying had promised, and then disappeared.

"The disappearance of a little palace maid is indeed not something that should be taken seriously. I will ask Qingfeng to send someone to investigate." Rong Zhen stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

The scene changed, and it was shown that Ah Chou had already taken Gu Junyao to the capital, and had taken her to the market on a bullock cart. Her illness was getting worse and worse, and soon... she might die.

When he arrived at the street, he found refugees pouring into the city. Many people had died in the alleys. Flies and insects were flying around the bodies, but no one was cleaning up.

"Make way, make way." Suddenly, he saw a group of soldiers in front of him, carrying away all the dead bodies in the alley. He didn't know where these bodies would be taken. Achou kept walking, just wanting to send her home.

But Gu Junyao didn't tell him that she was the daughter of the Gu family. He only knew that her family lived in the capital. Cheng Shaoyuan led people to clean up the dead bodies in the alley and found that the man dressed as a beggar was dragging a bullock cart with someone on it, so he walked up to him.

"Stop, is there a dead person in your car?"

Cheng Shaoyuan looked at the motionless people on the ox cart, thinking that they might have died of the plague. He had already received an order to cremate anyone who died of the plague in the city.

Ah Chou lowered his head with a look of inferiority. It was his first time entering the city and he had never seen so many people, let alone a man wearing such luxurious silk. The man had his sword drawn and looked very aggressive.

"My lord is asking you a question, are you mute?" A little follower beside him shouted at Achou in dissatisfaction. Cheng Shaoyuan waved his hand, signaling him not to say anything more. Instead, he walked to the ox cart and was about to uncover the straw silk. Achou quickly opened his hand and dragged the ox cart away in front of everyone.

"Stop him!"

Cheng Shaoyuan gave the order, and everyone came to Ah Chou. Ah Chou looked at everyone and started fighting with everyone. Cheng Shaoyuan looked at Ah Chou. He didn't expect his kung fu to be so powerful. Where did this beggar come from? The person on the ox cart also rolled down. Cheng Shaoyuan curiously went forward to check, but he didn't expect it to be Gu Junyao who had been missing for a long time!

Ah Chou was distracted. When he saw Gu Junyao lying on the ground, he was about to help her up, but was attacked by several people. They pressed her to the ground and punched her. Cheng Shaoyuan hurriedly stopped them and said, "Stop it!"

The rain of fists stopped, and Cheng Shaoyuan ordered people to tie up Ah Chou and take him back to the Dali Temple. He then checked Gu Junyao's breath, and luckily there was some breath. How could she be with such a person? On the other side, Mrs. Gu heard the news and hurried to the courtyard. Seeing Gu Junyao lying on the ground, she burst into tears.

Master Gu's eyes moistened as he watched Cheng Shaoyuan walk up to him, bowing several times, and said to him with tears of gratitude, "Master Cheng, I wonder where you found my daughter?"

"We found her on the street. There were a lot of people and confusion at the time. Let's talk about this inside the house. Please ask a doctor to check on Miss Gu."

"Yes, yes, yes, you see I have forgotten about it. Hurry up and help the second young lady back to the house!" Gu Junyao was already unconscious at this moment. Everyone put her on the bed. Gu Junyue looked inside from the door and secretly listened to the conversation between her father and Cheng Shaoyuan.

Mrs. Gu was surprised and delighted. After taking care of the child, she came to the door and found that Gu Junyue was secretly listening to the conversation between the master and Mr. Cheng. She walked quietly behind her and grabbed her ears fiercely. Gu Junyue said with a wronged look on her face: "Mom, I am your own daughter, how dare you treat me like this!"

"What are you doing here? Your sister finally came back, why don't you go and check on her?"

Madam Gu looked at her with a reproachful look on her face. When did this girl become so ignorant? Gu Junyue rubbed her earlobe with a wronged look on her face and said, "Mom, don't you think it's strange? After so many days, my sister can still come back alive."

"Pah, pah, pah, look at your mouth. If you can't speak, then don't speak. Your sister can come back, which means God has opened his eyes. Do you understand? It's all thanks to Master Cheng. Without Master Cheng, how could I see my Yao'er so soon?"

Mrs. Gu was very pleased and asked Cheng Shaoyuan to stay for dinner. Cheng Shaoyuan left first because he had official business. At night, Mrs. Gu looked at Master Gu, who was in a much better mental state. She wiped her tears with her sleeves and came to his side and said, "Master, God has a good eye and finally let us see Yao'er."

"Yes, Yao'er was lucky this time. Thanks to Master Cheng. If it weren't for him, maybe..."

Madam Gu also wiped her tears excitedly and sat aside and said, "You said that Master Cheng and Yao'er are such a perfect match. If the two of them can become a beautiful story..."

As soon as the voice fell, Madam Gu noticed that Master Gu had a strange look in his eyes, and she quickly moistened her throat and said, "Master, I was just talking casually, please don't take it to heart.
