“I, my mother passed away and was left to fend for myself on the estate. If I don’t find a way to learn how to survive on my own, won’t I be at the mercy of others? Your Highness, don’t worry about where I acquired my medical skills. Just trust that I can heal your leg,” Gu Yunru thought about it for a while and decided to reveal only half of the truth, leaving the other half for him to speculate.

As the younger brother of the emperor and a renowned war god, Prince Zhao  naturally understood the feeling of struggling to survive. Letting him speculate his own situation wouldn’t it be more fitting than thousands of words? Moreover, since he had been unable to heal his leg all this time, now that she had promised to do so, she believed no one could resist the temptation of being able-bodied.

Sure enough, after a moment, Prince Zhao  slowly released his grip on her and reached for a token from his person, throwing it to her. He spoke coldly, “Qingfeng, escort her back. Starting tomorrow, come to the Zhao Wang Mansion to treat my leg.”

Gu Yunru knew that her ordeal was over, and since he had promised to let her treat him, the matter of dissolving the engagement might be resolved as well.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her body, bowed to Prince Zhao, and said slowly, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

“My name is Rong Zhen, since we are unmarried couples, you can call me by my name,” Rong Zhen responded indifferently, not looking at Gu Yunru again, and then lazily said, “Let’s return to the mansion.”

Qingfeng had been ordered by Rong Zhen to escort Gu Yunru back to the Gu mansion, but Gu Yunru knew that he was not just protecting her, but also trying to find out if she was really who she claimed to be.
