Duan Chengxuan smiled lightly. "After all, I was the one who let you down that time."

Hearing such apologetic words, Gu Pingyan couldn't help but feel slightly relieved, and he turned his head away impatiently.

It seemed that Duan Chengxuan's feelings towards her were more of guilt, but she himself was clear about the love in his heart. Perhaps it was the remnants of love within this body, or perhaps it was only a long time ago that she discovered that there were people in this world who understood his so well.

However, Duan Chengxuan only had the word 'apology' for her.

Thinking up to here, she blamed herself even more for being disappointing. She clearly said that she wanted to put it down and leave, but when she really stayed by Duan Chengxuan's side, all of her thoughts vanished into nothingness.

For example, now, Duan Chengxuan's fingertips touched the corners of her eyes as he said in a low voice, "Qing Qing is extremely cute."

Gu Liuyan's body froze. She didn't want to look back.

"When will we have our own children?" Duan Chengxuan's voice even carried a sense of anticipation.

However, Gu Daiyan had to admit that while he was disgusted, his heart also pounded a little.

"I'll take a nap first." Sense of reason caused Gu Daiyan to lightly pull away Duan Chengxuan's hand and shrink into a corner with his eyes closed. He could hear the sound of the wind outside the carriage without end.

It was unknown how much time had passed before she heard her father-in-law's voice. After that, Duan Chengxuan woke her up and the two of them walked towards the empress dowager's palace.

Right now, the empress dowager's palace was next to the temple of the imperial palace, and the voice of the scripture was still lingering around her ears. The empress dowager knew that Gu Pingyan's health was not good and quickly bestowed her a seat, then she glared at Duan Chengxuan and said, "Seriously, why aren't you taking good care of Yan'er?"

"It is my fault." Duan Chengxuan continued to hold Gu Daiyan's hand.

Gu Meiyan had already been here many times. Ever since the suicidal incident, she and the empress dowager had always kept a distance from each other, but the empress still treated her extremely well. The two of them really seemed like family.

"Senior Servant Gui, invite the two imperial physicians over to take a look at the wangfei's pulse."

"Majesty, I am a doctor myself." Gu Danyan quickly opened his mouth to speak, but Senior Servant Gui quickly instructed the two eunuchs beside her.

The empress dowager's face was filled with disapproval as her gaze turned a little cold. "But I don't see you taking care of your body either."

The corners of Duan Chengxuan's mouth curled up as he looked at her and continued, "I've already agreed to another happy occasion with Yan'er, and I feel that it's not bad. After all, Gu Cheng has been held accountable, and someone in the Imperial Court will always say that the character of his wife is improper and difficult to handle. In that case, it'll be better to keep everyone in suspense."

"This one thinks it's not bad too, but such a happy occasion has never happened in my dynasty. Have you thought of a way to explain yourself?" The empress dowager knitted her brows slightly as Senior Servant Gui placed a bowl of Snow Toad Soup into Gu Daiyan's hands.

Gu Liuyan acted like it was none of his business as he pulled his hand out and started to eat the Snow Toad Soup silently.

"I've thought it through. I'll just say that the Royal Concubine is a descendant of the Yun Family to marry into the Prince's Mansion as a consolation for slandering the Yun Family. Whether for the Royal Family or the Yun Family, this is a good excuse."

"This isn't bad either. A good date has been set." Her Majesty smiled.

"Next month is an auspicious day. Although the gongs and drums are no longer needed, the basic etiquette cannot be wrong." After Duan Cheng Xuan finished speaking, she turned around to look at Gu Daiyan.

The latter continued to hold the Snow Toad Soup with a faint expression on her face. It was unknown just what she was thinking.

The mother and son discussed the matter quite a bit more, but Gu Pingyan obediently drank two bowls of soup, and after the two imperial physicians checked his pulse, he wrote two long prescriptions to treat himself. As the saying goes, there's someone out there, so even though the medicine she gave him was secretive, the two imperial doctors could tell that this prescription was taking away her medicine.

The only good thing was that these imperial physicians were clever in their handling of matters and wouldn't reveal the existence of the medicine in her body, but it still gave her a headache.

Just as she was lost in thought, the empress dowager's voice rang out. "That's right, I heard you sent Qingze away. Why didn't you bring him here for This Dowager to see?"

Gu Danyan was stunned and quickly answered with a smile: "Qing Zi is my adopted son, but he is still a child of someone from the martial world. I have been raising him for a long time, and that senior also said that he wanted to see the child."

"That's true." The empress dowager was lonely as she glanced at Duan Chengxuan helplessly. "Look at how many princes your brother has, then look at you. There's a good wife in the family, so why aren't you putting in all your effort?"

"Cough, cough …" Gu Daiyan almost choked on his tea.

Duan Chengxuan patted her shoulder helplessly. "Yan'er's health isn't good, before this …"

"This one knows." "As long as you don't bully Yan'Er, it'll be good enough for me to give some advice to the emperor about this matter with Su Yuwan. Before this, the emperor heard from somewhere that it was Su Yuwan's idea to conceal the outbreak of the disease …"

"Imperial Mother, that is not the case." Duan Chengxuan instantly became nervous.

In the future, you have to be careful. After all, the emperor is the emperor, he can tolerate Su Yuwan for a while, but he will not be able to tolerate her for his entire life. If she were to harm you again, according to the emperor's caring appearance, she would have the face to help you get rid of her. When she thought of Duan Ling'er, the empress dowager's gaze gradually dimmed.

"I have already warned her." Duan Cheng Xuan's expression turned slightly cold.

Seeing that the conversation was getting increasingly serious, Gu Pingyan could only wipe the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and leisurely stand up: "Empress Dowager, Yan'er feels that this room is a little stuffy, so she should go out and take a look."

Upon hearing Gu Liuyan's words, the empress dowager immediately laughed. "Go, go. When the time comes, eat a meal before the palace gates before leaving."

Gu Danyan nodded and Senior Servant Gui sent two quick-witted palace maids to follow her, followed by a large crowd of people.

As if he had gotten used to it, Gu Pingyan only came to the side of the pond during the summer. He leaned against the pavilion and threw some fish food into the water, just as he was about to lose his cool, he heard a familiar voice: "Coincidentally, you came with Imperial Uncle today?"

Gu Dai Yan was slightly stunned. She turned around and saw the Fourth Prince, dressed in rich brocade clothes, walk down the long corridor to the gravel road. However, there was no sign of Litchi Bay by his side.

"It seems like your body is fully recovered." Gu Danyan smiled and gave half of the fish food to him: "You came to see your mufei today?"

"He has come to see her, and also to pay his respects to royal father." Duan Chengyu was much more stable than before. Ever since he had fully awakened from the fire, he heard that he had been following Qi Rou around the shop every day, saying that he would not go to Litchi Bay at all. Furthermore, he did not care about the politics of the court as he had been reprimanded by the emperor earlier.

"Father wants to make me king of Zong Ping, to Yinzhou." Duan Chengyu asked.

Gu Danyan paused for a second and smiled lightly: "As long as you like it, it will be a pure land wherever you go."

However, Duan Chengyu looked at her for a long time and said softly, "Sixth brother is also there."
