"Yes, this palace is the most snobbish place. Everyone wants to curry favor with the king. When Ying promised to be favored, look at how prosperous and lively her palace was. But now it is comparable to the cold palace."

Gu Yunru was indignant, Qingxing hesitated and said: "But Miss, you promised Ying to go to see the prince, then you..."

"What's wrong with me? In fact, love is not important at all. Maybe Zhao is more than just a lover to her. It was Zhao who saved her and gave her a life. Now she wants to return the life to Zhao intact. This is her greatest wish. Why should we refuse?"

"Miss, you are right to think so. It is I who am a little narrow-minded." Qingxing lowered her eyebrows and said with a slightly sad look.

Gu Yunru grabbed her hand and forced a smile, saying, "I know you always consider me, but it's wrong to think about other things now. There are only two days left. I must think of a way to take her away under Concubine Shu's nose."

"Okay, I will do whatever the lady asks me to do."

Gu Yunru smiled with relief and scratched the tip of her nose.

The scene changed and Rong Zhen's team encountered a sandstorm. The green forest had disappeared and they had entered the frontier.

Huang Zijun took off his mask and rode a horse to him. The wind and sand blinded his eyes and he couldn't stop crying all the way.

"Your Highness, there are no houses ahead. Let's settle down here first. We have to go through the Great Wall to get to the west."

The tribe outside the Great Wall are elusive, and they live in ancient yurts and can move at any time.

Rong Zhen deliberately passed this road to survey the terrain and visit at the same time.

"Okay, let the brothers rest here first. Be careful of the wind and sand, don't let it get into your throat."

"yes."

Everyone set up camp nearby. Rong Zhen dismounted and took out an earring from his sleeve. This was one that Gu Yunru accidentally dropped. There was only a simple pearl on it, but in Rong Zhen's eyes, Gu Yunru looked the most beautiful when she wore this pair of earrings and smiled at him.

"Your Highness, we have surveyed the surrounding terrain and found that only this area has less wind and sand. This time the wind and sand came unexpectedly and we may be delayed."

Huang Zijun came over and frowned as he saw him staring at the pearl earrings in his hand.

"Your Majesty?"

"I understand, so let's make some adjustments for now."

"yes."

Huang Zijun left. At this moment, a green figure appeared in front of him. It was Qingfeng. He had been following behind him and keeping track of the movements in the capital for him.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Shaoyuan went to Jiangnan to take over the salt chaos for Lord Xie."

Rong Zhen looked as calm as a rock. He sat aside and said, "Jiangnan? Do you know when he will return to Beijing?"

"This has not been confirmed yet, but we will report to the prince as soon as we have any news."

"Well, is there any movement from the Great Tsunzai's side?"

“All is not calm for the time being.”

Rong Zhen nodded, but there was still deep worry in his eyes. He knew Gu Yunru's personality. If he didn't make a big fuss in the palace, it would be unworthy of her character. Qingfeng also knew what he was going to ask, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Prince, Miss Gu is in the palace, and with the Queen Mother, nothing will happen."

"This is what I'm worried about. I'm afraid that with her temper..." Rong Zhen thought about how this girl had sneak attacked Linyi before. When he thought of this, he felt sweet in his heart. He had never had such a strange feeling before.

Qingfeng saw that the tip of the prince's ear was red, and asked curiously: "Prince, are you sick? Why is your face red?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Go do your thing."

Rong Zhen suddenly became serious again, and Qingfeng lowered his head and continued to ambush secretly to investigate the road conditions ahead.

I don't know what happened to this silly girl now. Rong Zhen has never felt so homesick before. Being alone outside, he suddenly has someone to care about, which makes him feel that he is no longer alone.

Early the next morning, Gu Yunru asked someone to bring some fresh noodles and medicinal herbs to visit Ying Guo.

"Ying agreed, how did you sleep last night?"

Gu Yunru agreed to her request yesterday, and she must have taken a reassurance pill. Ying's expression was indeed much better than yesterday. Xiuyun smiled and said, "Thanks to Miss Gu's miraculous healing, Ying didn't cough last night."

"It depends on how your body is doing." Gu Yunru said calmly. Ying Ying glanced at Xiuyun beside her and told them to leave first. She quickly suppressed the smile on her face and said to Gu Yunru with a heavy face, "Last night, I also know that the request I made made things difficult for you.

But I would rather go back to the frontier and bury my body there than die in the palace. Thank you for agreeing to my request."

Gu Yunru has always been puzzled. The emperor is handsome, gentle and humble, much better than the perverted and dark Rong Zhen. Why did Ying agree but still couldn't forget him?

"That's as I should do. Since I've promised you something, I will definitely get it done."

Ying agreed and smiled reluctantly, then said softly to her, "Don't call me Ying anymore, just call me Meiying."

"Shuying? It's a nice name."

Gu Yunru started chatting with her. Every time she mentioned Rong Zhen, her eyes would light up involuntarily. She knew that Rong Zhen must be everything to her, so she tried her best to get close to him.

"Shuying, there is something I don't understand. It was the prince who saved you, but after you entered the palace, you never saw him again?"

If the two of them stood together, they would be a good match, but unfortunately fate played a trick on them and they were unable to get their wish.

When Shuying heard this, she held the handkerchief in her hand until her index finger turned white, and she simply told her all the past events.

"There are sandstorms outside the Great Wall from time to time. That year, I was just a maid adopted by a caravan. Later, I encountered difficulties. It was the prince who saved me and placed me in the army.

Later, I heard that there was a riot on the border, and he led his troops there. I heard his name from the mouths of those soldiers. I didn't see him again after that. I only knew that he was of noble status, and I thought I must find a way to see him again. "

Gu Yunru also knew what happened later. Shuying entered the palace with the envoys from outside the Great Wall. Unexpectedly, she became the emperor's favorite because of a dance. He immediately made her a noble lady. After that, her favor in the palace became even greater, overshadowing Concubine Shu, which made Concubine Shu jealous.

"In fact, I have another identity that he doesn't know. They let me stay in the Daqi Palace because they want me to charm the emperor and whisper in his ears so that he will give up his plan to control the border."
