"Forget it, just be sensible. There are some things that I cannot say to you."

Rong Zhen briefly passed over the topic, and when Gu Yunru mentioned wanting to intervene in the matter, he did not allow Gu Yunru to continue investigating.

"Why? I was the one who found all those scattered corpses." Gu Yunru looked into his dark and deep icy eyes and complained in dissatisfaction.

"I know you like to join in the fun, but you'd better not interfere in the affairs of the palace, so as not to bring trouble upon yourself." Rong Zhen was truly doing this for her own good. As soon as Gu Yunru entered the palace, she offended Concubine Shu, and then caused unpleasantness between Ying Da Ying and the Emperor.

Although most of the troubles were caused by him, he was able to protect himself. But it was different for her. She hadn't even become his princess yet, but she had already started to behave like this in the palace.

"Do you think I'm just joining in the fun?" Gu Yunru got angry and asked him about this issue seriously, but Rong Zhen chose not to argue with her, which made her seem a little unreasonable.

"Whether you are here to join in the fun or not, you must not interfere with anything that happens in the palace. Don't think that if you often accompany the Queen Mother to chant sutras, she will be able to protect you, and don't be naive to think that I can protect you in everything."

Rong Zhen said these words expressionlessly. Gu Yunru had already been angered by him, and now it was like a basin of cold water poured from her head to her feet.

"I understand. Your Highness, don't worry. I know my limits on some things. If everything is ok, Your Highness, please go back quickly."

Gu Yunru looked outside the door unhappily, just wanting to quickly send away this guy who was ruining other people's fun.

Rong Zhen didn't want to waste any more words, so he left.

Early the next morning, Gu Junyue came to the study and saw that he had fallen asleep on the table. They had been married for four or five days, but he had never spent a single night in her room.

People in the mansion were whispering that they were a couple in name only. Whenever Gu Junyue heard this, she felt as if a knife was stabbed in her heart and she was in excruciating pain.

Gu Junyue stayed at the door for a while, mustered up the courage to push it open, and walked to his side with light steps. There seemed to be the sound of mosquitoes and flies, and Cheng Shaoyuan looked up and saw that it was her.

Feeling disappointed, he continued to fall asleep on the table. Gu Junyue said dejectedly, "Sir, my father has been waiting in the hall for a long time."

When Cheng Shaoyuan heard this, he immediately perked up.

"Father."

Cheng Shaoyuan came up to Lord Cheng and bowed.

He was still wearing a purple robe embroidered with green patterns, and he hadn't even taken off the belt around his waist. Lord Cheng could tell at a glance that what the servants had said was true. The two of them had never slept together for a single day since they got married.

"Shaoyuan, please sit down. Dad has something to tell you."

"Dad, just say whatever you want to say." Cheng Shaoyuan sat aside and looked at his father's serious expression, thinking that he must have something important to discuss.

"A few days ago, the emperor specially asked the Grand Chancellor to assist in handling the Jiangnan salt disturbance. However, Master Xie suddenly felt unwell recently, so he recommended you to go to Jiangnan."

"Why? We don't seem to have any contact with Lord Xie, so why did he specifically ask me to go there?"

Cheng Shaoyuan was extremely surprised, and Lord Cheng also felt that this matter was quite strange. It was also possible that Xie Yihui was extending an olive branch to them.

Now Lord Xie's disciples are placed in various departments, and he has the greatest power in the court. He is also an important official that the emperor relies on very much. Naturally, the emperor would not doubt Lord Xie's request, so he agreed to it.

"This request may seem sudden, but the emperor's order is hard to disobey. You should pack up as soon as possible and go to Jiangnan to deal with this matter."

"But... there are still a lot of unjust cases in the palace that have not been cleared up." Cheng Shaoyuan was thinking about those cases in the palace. The Dali Temple had always served the royal family and had cleared up so many unjust, false and wrong cases. He had already fulfilled his mission, but he did not expect to be suddenly transferred to Jiangnan, and he did not know when he would be able to come back.

"Put these things aside for now. There are others to handle them. Lord Xie may also be optimistic about you."

Although Lord Cheng had doubts, he didn't know how to explain them.

Gu Junyue overheard the conversation between the father and son at the door. She didn't expect that he would be transferred to Jiangnan just a few days after their marriage.

After returning to the house, seeing him walking into the house with a sullen look on his face, Gu Junyue walked up to him and said, "Sir, what does Dad want to talk to you about?"

"Some small matters, I might have to go to Jiangnan."

"Really? Jiangnan has beautiful scenery. What kind of people do you plan to bring with you this time?"

Gu Junyue looked at him expectantly, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, she just hoped that his gaze could stay on this moment.

"Just bring the stones with you. It's not good to be conspicuous if there are too many people. We are going there for business, not for fun." Cheng Shaoyuan felt a little heavy and his face did not look very good.

"Sir, let me pack your things for you."

Gu Junyue has a calm personality and is more lovable and mature than Junyao. She is also very filial to her parents, which makes him very satisfied.

"Jun Yue, I'm sorry for putting you through this these days."

Gu Junyue was packing her things when she heard his sudden words and tears instantly filled her eyes.

"How could that be? It is Jun Yue's fortune to be able to marry into the Cheng family."

Gu Junyue stubbornly refused to let her tears fall and continued to pack his luggage.

Cheng Shaoyuan drank a few sips of wine depressedly, looked at Gu Junyue's busy back and said: "Sit down first, it's just a few clothes, there's no need to pack so quickly."

"……yes."

Gu Junyue came and sat in front of him, raising her charming eyes. She had not slept well at all in the past few days and was tortured by this incident.

"I have neglected you these days. It's my fault. If you want something, I can bring it back from Jiangnan."

"No, I just hope that you can come back safely and have me in your heart."

A faint smile appeared on Gu Junyue's fair face. Cheng Shaoyuan didn't say anything and continued to stare at the cup and drink.

Gu Mansion.

Lan'er carried the basin of hot water to a small storeroom. The yard had been cleared out for Achou to stay in. After these days of recuperation, his injuries had healed a lot.

"Hey, ugly bastard, the reason you are getting well now is entirely because of our young lady's kindness and compassion, otherwise you would have died in that dark prison long ago."

Ah Chou heard the chattering and sat up from the bed with an expressionless face. Now he was able to get out of bed and was about to leave when he was stopped by Lan'er.

"Hey, you ungrateful bastard! Our young lady saved you, and you're leaving without even saying thank you?"
