Hearing this, Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up.

Those who hurt Yao'er must pay a heavy price! At this time, Lan'er ran into the courtyard, looked at the master and the lady with surprise and said: "The young lady is awake!"

Mrs. Gu stood up excitedly and hurried to Gu Junyao's room. Gu Junyao opened her sore eyelids and found that she was actually in her boudoir. She looked around in disbelief until she saw her mother and father walk in. She burst into tears.

"Yao'er!"

Madam Gu walked to the bedside and hugged her and cried bitterly. Gu Junyao coughed a few times, her face turned pale, and she said to Madam Gu: "Mother, you strangled me." Madam Gu wiped her tears nervously and excitedly and said: "Yao'er, you suffered so much in Qingping Temple, mother..."

Madam Gu kept sobbing, and the rest of the words seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them. Lan'er cried with joy and said to Madam Gu: "Madam, now that the young lady is back, don't mention those things. But how should we report this to the prince?"

When the prince received the news, he thought that Gu Junyao had already been killed. Now that the young lady is back, this matter should be reported to the prince. Mr. Gu planned to keep it secret for three days, but judging from the situation, many people probably know about it.

Seeing the two elders looking embarrassed, Gu Junyao smiled miserably.

"Dad, Mom, this matter was caused by Yao'er. Yao'er is willing to take full responsibility. When Yao'er is better, she will go to apologize to the prince and to her sister." Gu Junyao lowered her eyes, and Madam Gu looked at her with a little more calmness in her eyes. She was not as impetuous as before, and she felt much more relieved.

"Yao'er, mother really can't bear to see you suffer." Madam Gu wiped her tears. Gu Junyao smiled and took Madam Gu's hand and said, "Mother, you shouldn't worry about Yao'er anymore. Yao'er was able to survive this disaster, which means that God thinks Yao'er is not destined to die. Yao'er must live well."

"Yeah yeah."

Mrs. Gu felt indescribably comforted when she saw that Gu Junyao had become much more sensible and understanding.

On the other hand, Cheng Shaoyuan locked Achou in a cell. After several interrogations, Achou said that he saw Gu Junyao fainted on the roadside, so he took her back. However, Cheng Shaoyuan did not think so.

"A young girl has been with you for five days. Why are you only thinking of sending her back to Beijing today?"

Cheng Shaoyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the ugly man in front of him. No wonder he wore a straw hat since he looked so ugly.

Achou didn't want to talk, so he just sat down leaning against the wall.

"I am asking you a question!"

Cheng Shaoyuan was very displeased by his contemptuous attitude. If it were an ordinary person, he would have complimented him long ago, but there was something unruly in this man's eyes.

"Interrogate him severely!" Cheng Shaoyuan said this and left the cell.

A few days passed. After visiting the princess in the Mahavira Hall, Gu Yunru returned to the palace. Seeing Qingxing running over in a hurry, he asked with a depressed look on his face, "What's wrong?"

"Second Miss... Second Miss is alive."

Qingxing spoke breathlessly, leaving Gu Yunru confused.

"What kind of work?" Gu Yunru looked at her dark face in surprise. Before he could ask in detail, he heard a pleasant laughter as sweet as a silver bell coming from the door.

"elder sister."

Gu Junyao was wearing a goose yellow short-sleeved shirt and long skirt, with a bright smile on her face. She appeared in front of Gu Yunru. The moment he saw Gu Junyao, he thought he had seen a ghost and was speechless for a long time.

"Sister, long time no see. You seem to have lost a lot of weight."

Gu Junyao stared at her quietly, and when she found that she didn't say a word, she frowned in confusion.

Gu Yunru's head suddenly buzzed, and she murmured, "How did you survive?"

Gu Junyao sat down at the stone table with a faint smile on her face. She looked up at Gu Yunru, still in shock and unable to come back to her senses.

"I'm fine. Does my sister want me to die?" Gu Junyao's words were full of grievance. Gu Yunru sat opposite her in surprise and poured her a cup of tea and asked, "Where have you been these days?"

Gu Junyao suddenly laughed with relief and said, "I was saved by a master these days, so I saved my life. But these days, I am also repenting that I shouldn't have used the lotus cream on you."

When she mentioned the lotus cream, she pronounced the words deliberately. This made Gu Yunru feel uncomfortable. It seemed that she came to ask for punishment. However, seeing that she came alone, she must be asking for forgiveness. Now she was still guilty, and Ah Zhao would not let her go so easily.

"This matter has all passed. My sister has a really good memory." Gu Yunru coughed a few times awkwardly, then took some tea to moisten her throat.

"But speaking of which, I was infected with the plague when I returned to the city. Fortunately, my sister wrote down a prescription for curing the plague in advance, otherwise I would not have been able to come to my sister so quickly. Since my sister said that bygones be bygones, what about the prince?"

As expected, he came to her to plead guilty. Knowing that she didn't want to go back to a place like Qingping Temple because of the prince's face, Gu Yunru thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'll just plead for you on this matter."

"Thank you so much, sister. With your help, the prince will definitely not blame me anymore."

Looking at Gu Junyao's current appearance, she doesn't seem as bad as before, but rather has a heavier look.

She has managed to survive all these days, it seems she is quite lucky.

However, Gu Junyao's apology today was just a superficial effort. The hatred in her eyes did not diminish at all. She probably still hated her because of the Hibiscus Cream incident.

After sending Gu Junyao away, Qing Xing came outside the yard, looked around, closed the door, walked to her side and said, "Miss, Miss is so strange today, it's like she has become a different person."

Gu Yunru drank tea calmly, but in her mind she was thinking about what Gu Junyao had just said. Indeed, she had changed. She didn't seem to be the same impetuous Gu Junyao as before. It was indeed a strange thing that she could come back.

"How did she come back? Did you find out?" Gu Yunru was curious about who rescued her, but she was still a little surprised when she heard Qingxing say that Cheng Shaoyuan found her being loaded on an ox cart and transported to the capital.

"Ox cart?" Gu Yunru frowned.
