Gu Yunru had been in a dilemma for quite some time. She felt that she needed to resolve Rong Zhen’s matter before she could leave.

In the palace of Prince Zhao.

Doctor Li was taking Rong Zhen’s pulse. His brows furrowed and his expression grew heavy.

“What’s the matter? Just tell me straight,” said Rong Zhen. Having fought on the battlefield for many years, he didn’t believe that such a small amount of poison would stop him.

“Your Highness, although the remaining toxins in your body won’t endanger your life, but…”

“I did it on purpose. I just wanted to see if that girl would ignore me,” Rong Zhen interrupted. Doctor Li wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, frightened and thinking that his medical skills were limited. It seemed that Miss Gu from the Gu family was indeed quite capable.

“Your Highness, Miss Gu from the Gu family is here!” Qingfeng stood at the door to report. Rong Zhen’s eyes lit up, but he quickly regained his usual solemn and cold expression.

“Everyone, leave first.”

“Yes.”

Gu Yunru arrived in the main hall and saw Rong Zhen sitting upright. She smiled with pleasure and walked briskly to his side.

“I, this commoner, pay my respects to Your Highness.”

Rong Zhen slowly opened his eyes and scrutinized her slightly smug face.
