TLDPCRM 27: Uninvited Guest (Patreon)

"There's nothing wrong, it's just a pity that you're not a man."

Cheng Shaoyuan admired Gu Yunru's calmness and intelligence from the bottom of his heart. She always approached things with such thoughtfulness and precision, and was also skilled at observing.

"Who says a woman cannot investigate a case? If you need my help in the future, you can call me, and I won't charge you."

Gu Yunru had just made a joke to him, but she didn't expect his expression to gradually become serious. She curiously looked behind him and didn't know when Rong Zhen had appeared there.

"Why are you here? Didn't you go back?"

Gu Yunru blinked her starry eyes, but unfortunately, no matter what expression she made now, the other party couldn't see it. However, she felt a surge of resentment emanating from Rong Zhen's surroundings. Could it be that she misunderstood something?

"Come with me."

Without saying a word, Rong Zhen pulled her away from the yamen. Gu Yunru's wrist was pulled so hard that it hurt, and this guy had always been cold and aloof. Did he eat the wrong medicine today?

"You're hurting me. Do you know that you're really strong?"

Gu Yunru complained behind him, but Rong Zhen seemed to not hear her at all. He took her to a less populated alleyway.

Gu Yunru's temple throbbed as she watched his imposing manner. Her little heart couldn't take it, and she looked at him somewhat aggrievedly, like a startled little deer. "What's wrong with you? Did I do something to upset you again?" This fickle guy, his tears and laughter are always just a moment apart.

"You're about to enter the palace, and I won't allow you to have close contact with other men. Otherwise, I'll break your legs," he said. Gu Yunru couldn't believe these words had come out of his mouth. She felt her legs go weak and almost fell to the ground.

"Your highness, you've misunderstood. That gentleman Cheng ... he's a good person, and there's nothing between us."

Gu Yunru was incoherent and her brain was a mess. Under his coercion, she had to quickly distance herself from Cheng Shaoyuan. Who knows what this guy would do that would leave people stunned.

"It's best if there's nothing. If I find out you've embarrassed me, I'll make sure that the Gu family won't have a good life."

Rong Zhen held Gu Yunru's chin with one hand and contemptuously looked her over. Hearing this, Gu Yunru couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and said softly, "Your highness, please don't be angry. I'll definitely make sure that nothing like that happens."

Gu Yunru even threw him a seductive look, but unfortunately, with his hat on, he might not have received the signal. However, it wasn't difficult to pacify this violent lion. He put his hand down, and his expression softened a bit.

"Don't misunderstand, I just don't want people to gossip."

"I understand what you mean."

Gu Yunru smiled but didn't smile and said with a flash of her eyes, "Oh, and about last time, I'm sorry. I didn't know you would be so concerned and I won't let anyone touch your room again."

From the perspective of a patient, perhaps this made him feel uncomfortable, and as a doctor, Gu Yunru had to apologize honestly.

"It's okay. Let's go back to the mansion and continue."

"Ah?"Gu Yunru was still in shock when he was forcibly dragged back to the Wang residence by him.

Qingyu placed some pastries and tea on the table. She had been worried sick since the prince disappeared overnight to find Miss Gu from the Gu family. However, Gu Yunru could tell that Qingyu's concern was not for her but for Rong Zhen, who was next to her. Unfortunately, Rong Zhen, being a typical straight man, couldn't understand Qingyu's thoughts.

"Put the tea down and go guard outside," Rong Zhen ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness," Qingyu replied with a surprised expression before leaving.

Gu Yunru, holding a piece of pearl cake, stuffed it into her mouth and looked at him puzzled. "Why do you talk so harshly to girls?"

"I do whatever I want," he replied.

Gu Yunru rolled her eyes. No wonder no one dared to approach him. He was like a cold and merciless demon.

Gu Yunru looked at him, his three-dimensional features like a carved sculpture. If he were in her time, he would have been a superstar sought after by countless people. However, what was unforgettable about him was his pair of bright and deep black eyes, like an abyss that attracted people but also scared them away.

"Have you seen enough?" he suddenly broke the silence, and Gu Yunru almost choked on her pastry. She quickly blew on her tea and took a sip.

"Hehe, we've reached the second stage of psychotherapy. As long as you follow my instructions, Your Highness, we'll be able to cure your psychological disorder one day. Today, let's study acupuncture!" Gu Yunru said, observing his expression.Rong Zhen seemed to be a bit unhappy, and he wasn't sure which sentence she said wrong. In Rong Zhen's mind, she had called him "Ah zhao" a few days ago, but now she changed her address to "Your Highness," and there was a sense of discrepancy in her heart.

"Let's begin then," Rong Zhen said.

Hu, Gu Yunru breathed a sigh of relief.

Returning to the room, Gu Yunru found that the items in the room had not been rearranged. She remembered her Thunderous Blaze that day and still had lingering fear. This man was really too frightening.

Gu Yunru called for Qingyu and Qingshuang. These two maidservants were meticulous in their thinking and had gentle techniques. They were qualified as her apprentices, especially Qingyu, who was very diligent.

"The posture of pressing should be like this, and you need to touch his tendons and bones, otherwise it will be counterproductive," Gu Yunru instructed the two maidservants. Rong Zhen had already removed his outer clothes, revealing his muscular upper body. Both maidservants did not dare to face him directly.

Qingyu's little face blushed like a monkey's buttocks. "Is this the right way? Miss Gu, how do you know everything?" Qingyu had a better impression of Gu Yunru these past two days. She was indeed the woman favored by the prince.

"These are all essential in traditional Chinese medicine and closely related to the human body. This can help His Highness to relax a lot. Whenever he has a headache, you can come and do acupuncture for him. Also, you can burn some moxa leaves. In a few days, I will teach you how to clean ears and do skin massages," Gu Yunru explained.

"Yes."

"Qingyu has learned well. It seems that you have been practicing hard in private," Gu Yunru praised Qingyu's technique, and her small hands were extremely delicate and smooth when massaging the skin.

Gu Yunru tried Qingyu's technique and had only praise for her. Qingshuang stood on the side, with a sneaky thought.



After today's lesson, Qingyu was washing her clothes in the backyard when suddenly someone kicked over her basin from the front. Qingyu stood up in panic, getting splashed all over with water.

"Qingshuang, what are you doing?" Qingyu wiped the water off her face with her sleeve, looking at her in surprise.
