Gu Su was still cooking something. She looked up at Su Wanrou's dressing and said helplessly, "Miss, whatever you eat tonight will be good. Gu Su is currently making medicine for you."

Su Wanrou's face turned bitter instantly as she pleaded, "Aiya! Your young mistress has already recovered, and she can even beat the head of an ox without any problem. You don't need to drink these medicinal soups, do you? "

Suddenly, Su Wanrou could hear a soft laughter coming from the rooftop, which she seemed to be unable to hold in. She secretly remembered it in her heart.

Gu Su was indifferent to Su Wanrou's request. "Even if Miss can beat ten oxen, we still have to drink the medicinal soup. The doctor told Madam to not break the seven-day medicinal soup."

Su Wanrou had a hunch that this was a method that her mother would use to restrain her from running away. She had clearly punished Aunt Ji and Su Xiuting, so why would she be punished as well?

Su Wanrou pleaded with her face for a while, but to no avail. She had no choice but to leave the kitchen, walk into the courtyard, and stomp on the ground a few times. A figure flew down from the roof as she wished.

The young man was wearing a black robe and had a cold expression on his delicate and handsome face. He looked as if he didn't want anyone to get close to him, but in Su Wanrou's eyes, this cold expression was still a bit immature.

Compared to being cold, she had seen an innumerable amount of things in the palace in her previous life.

Su Wanrou sat down by the stone table and patted the stone bench beside her, gesturing for the young man to come over and take a seat. The young man was very obedient, so he walked over and sat by her side … On the other side.

Su Wanrou gnashed her teeth. This young man did not have a name, but she had given him a name the day she named Gu Su.

"Chu Yun, what were you laughing at just now?" Su Wanrou asked with a hand on her chin, but most of them were just joking.

Chu Yun saw this and ignored it. Su Wanrou teased him again but still bumped into a wall. She couldn't help but feel a little upset. This young man didn't have the hot-bloodedness of his peers and always had a cold face.

At the right time, Gu Su appeared with a bowl of the medicinal soup that she hated the most. She smiled and said, "Miss, you've drank the medicine."

Su Wanrou: "…"

Su Wanrou had no other choice but to drink the medicine obediently. Gu Su immediately offered some candied fruits to Su Wanrou, making her feel slightly better.

After drinking the medicine, Gu Su didn't look at Su Wanrou anymore. She turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare her meal. Su Wanrou waved at Chu Yun, and when he got closer, she said softly, "Let's go out for a walk. Quietly, don't let Gu Su know!"

Before Chu Yun said anything, the girl in front of him had already walked out with her back bent. She was so careful like a child that was about to run away from home. Chu Yun couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Su Wanrou knew that Gu Su was sent by her mother, while Chu Yun was her grandfather's man. Although Chu Yun stayed by her side for the time being, she still wouldn't talk about many things about Gu Su. Chu Yun was different, as Chu Yun was just a personal bodyguard.

While Su Wanrou and Chu Yun were deep in the woods, there was a storm going on in the Imperial City.

With regards to Su Mansion, Madam Ning poured tea for him in Old Lady Su's courtyard.

"What happened outside?" Old Lady Su put down her teacup and asked with a peaceful smile on her face.

Madam Ning lowered her eyes slightly. "As we expected, not mentioning the commoners in the imperial city, the news about your noble clan has already spread and it's even been rumored that the future Crown Princess has landed in our Prime Minister's Mansion."

Old Lady Su frowned, the crack on her face became deeper, and said unhappily: "If these words were to spread out, not to mention that the Imperial Family doesn't have any complaints, even people will think that our Su Family is all arrogant people, and at that time, saying that it is just a rumor spread by the Su Family, I'm afraid Wan will become the target of public criticism."

This was something that Old Lady Su could not allow, as her Su Family had not reached the level of a male, and Wan was now the first daughter of the Prime Minister. With such a noble identity, if someone were to speak out, her Su Family would be above a higher rank, and that person on the dragon throne would have objections.

Accompanying a lord like a tiger, Su Qiu walked to this point. Although Madam Ning's parents had supported him, Old Lady Su did not allow that kind of thing to happen in the mansion.

Madam Ning nodded. She was clear about the implications, but the Crown Prince's words did not seem to be child's play either. Especially after she heard that the Crown Prince had been studying hard ever since he had recovered from his fever a month ago, she knew that he was not someone of the same age.

However, this was what Madam Ning was worried about. She would rather the crown prince be joking around.

Old Lady Su stroked her sleeve and said, "Then what about the matter you did?"

Hearing that, Madam Ning smiled. "Of course it's done. This is related to mother's darling granddaughter and son. How could my wife dare not to be diligent!"

Hearing Madam Ning's teasing, Old Lady Su laughed, "You little girl! It's not like she's your daughter. She said that! "

Madam Ning knew Old Lady Su was teasing her, so she just smiled and said, "Mother, just wait. Tonight, that esteemed monk will be coming to the capital."

"Oh? Tonight? "Isn't it a bit too hasty?" Old Lady Su was worried, so she asked. This was a big matter, so she couldn't be careless at all.

Madam Ning raised her eyebrows mysteriously. "The High Monk said that tonight would be the best time to do so."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They didn't mention this matter again and waited for the night.

The darkness of the night was like a curtain that slowly descended, replacing the daylight.

The Emperor only received the news about the City Guards at dusk. The High Monk of the Temple of White Horse had come to the capital, and all the Kings of the past dynasties would be staying at the temple for the summer, and the High Monk of the temple was even more renowned. It was rumored that he could see the future, but in his life, he would only sign with the Emperor for someone with a destiny.

"Your Majesty, why has this high monk come so suddenly? Is there something important?" The empress tidied up the emperor's clothes, her eyes filled with worry.

The High Monk of the Temple of White Horse had never stepped into the capital easily. Now that he was here, the emperor felt uneasy and the empress knew a little about him. Thus, the emperor shook his head as he did not know the reason why.

The Emperor thought for a moment. He did not do anything to receive punishment from the Emperor. That's why the high monk came to speak?

The dinner was hastily arranged, but fortunately, the High Monk's meal at the White Horse Temple was never extravagant. Furthermore, they were all vegetarians, so it did not take much time to prepare.

The empress hurried over, only to see a monk standing in front of the palace hall not too far away. He had an extraordinary bearing, and his ordinary face made people feel that he had the bearing of a master. The emperor walked in, bowed his head slightly, and clasped his hands together in a bow.

The High Monk nodded his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "Your Majesty and Empress Dowager need not be overly courteous. We, Buddha, will experience the sincerity of our worshippers."

The emperor nodded and invited the high monk in. The few of them sat in the middle of the banquet table.
