After instructing the palace maid to boil the medicine, Gu Yanyue stayed by Yu Wenran's bedside and took care of him personally.

She lowered her eyes and tucked the quilt for Yuwen Ran. Looking at the cold sweat on Yuwen Ran's forehead, she gently wiped it off with a handkerchief.

Suddenly hearing a commotion outside, Gu Yanyue frowned and got up to go outside to check what was going on.

"The Empress is resting, Concubine Rou, you can't go in."

As soon as Gu Yanyue went out, she ran into Gu Yanrou trying to break into her bedroom. The little palace maid beside her wanted to stop her with an embarrassed look on her face, but because of the status of the imperial concubine opposite her, she did not dare to stop her too much.

When the little palace maid saw Gu Yanyue, she said as if she had seen a savior: "Your Majesty!"

Gu Yanyue waved her hand, signaling the little palace maid that she could leave. The little palace maid immediately left quickly as if she had been saved.

Without anyone to stop her, Gu Yanrou strode towards Gu Yanyue with a cold face and demanded, "Did you seduce His Majesty?"

Gu Yanyue found it funny. She looked at Gu Yanrou and thought that she was really stupid. No one dared to make the matter of His Majesty taking the aphrodisiac public, but Gu Yanrou came to her on her own initiative and questioned her whether she had seduced His Majesty.

Gu Yanyue raised her eyebrows and looked at the furious Gu Yanrou with a smile. "Why do you ask this right away? Did you give His Majesty the drug?"

Gu Yanrou was speechless and said angrily, "It's not me, I think it's you."

Then, she glared at Gu Yanyue with her almond-shaped eyes and shouted, "Only you would use such despicable means."

Gu Yanyue crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows as she said, "I think you, Imperial Concubine Rou, are missing the days of being spanked with twenty boards again."

Gu Yanrou was stunned. Her back seemed to be aching again. After being beaten last time, some of the bleeding spots on her body had not healed yet.

Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered at Gu Yanyue's hands, she became even more furious. She took a step forward, raised her arm and wanted to slap Gu Yanyue in the face, "You bitch!"

However, before he could finish his words, a bare hand grabbed his wrist in mid-air and stopped him.

Gu Yanrou looked at the indifferent Gu Yanyue in disbelief. Before she could react, she was stopped by the idiot she thought he was.

Gu Yanyue also took a step forward, staring coldly into Gu Yanrou's eyes, but said with a smile: "Even if Concubine Rou wants to make a scene, she should know when to go. His Majesty is still unconscious in the room."

She took another step forward, forcing Gu Yanrou to retreat half a step. "Just make a scene in my palace, and that's all. I can spare you because it's just a small matter and we've grown up together, but I'm not going to mention it."

"But if it disturbs His Majesty, it would be a serious sin."

Gu Yanyue fiercely put down Gu Yanrou's hand.

Gu Yanrou, as if waking from a dream, opened her almond-shaped eyes wide and shouted, "How dare you threaten me?"

Gu Yanrou grabbed Gu Yanyue's shoulders with both hands and said, "Gu Yanyue, you are so brave! My mother will not let you off!"

Gu Yanyue broke free from Gu Yanrou's hand and said with a smile, "You won't spare me? Are you referring to your mother who just got out of the prison? I'm really scared."

Gu Yanrou said angrily: "You!"

Gu Yanyue turned and went into the house and said, "Throw her out."

"Yes, sir!"

A group of guards came forward and dragged Gu Yanrou out.

"Let me go, let me go! Gu Yanyue, I won't let you go!"

"Just wait for me!"

She closed the door, blocking out the noise outside. She stood in front of the door listening to Gu Yanrou's voice. As it became farther and farther away until it disappeared, Gu Yanyue sighed slightly.

After traveling through time, this Gu Yanrou has really been causing trouble for her, Gu Yanyue thought helplessly.

She walked to Yuwen Ran's bed again and sat down, looking at the unconscious Yuwen Ran. Her eyes, which were usually like a pool of ancient water, were now closed. She couldn't help but sigh that this man's facial features were truly exquisite.

It was so beautiful that even she, a woman, envied it.

She leaned her head against the wall and looked at Yuwen Ran, thinking, he is so handsome, I will never get tired of looking at him for the rest of my life, right?

She stretched out her bare hand to smooth Yuwen Ran's frown, thinking that Yuwen Ran was still a teenager, but he always pretended to be mature. Perhaps this was what an emperor was like. Without dignity, he could not convince others.

But he's just a teenager.

She looked at Yuwen Ran with heartache.

Yu Wenran on the bed suddenly coughed a few times, slowly opened his eyes, looked at her, and said in a hoarse voice: "Water."

Gu Yanyue quickly walked to the tea table, poured a glass of water and handed it to Yu Wenran: "You are finally awake."

She helped Yuwen Ran sit up. Yuwen Ran took the water handed to him by Gu Yanyue and drank it down with gulps.

Gu Yanyue watched him finish his water, put it on the table, and asked, "How do you feel?"

Yu Wenran coughed twice and said, "It's okay."

Gu Yanyue carefully observed his expression and said softly, "Are you hungry, Ah Ran? I'll go make you some porridge."

After hearing Gu Yanyue ask him if he was hungry, Yu Wenran felt a little hungry and agreed, "Okay."

Gu Yanyue got up and went to the small kitchen.

After a while, Gu Yanyue came to Yu Wenran's window with a bowl of porridge.

The aroma coming from the porridge made Yu Wenran even hungrier.

Yu Wenran looked at the porridge, which was soft and sticky and sprinkled with emerald green onions.

Gu Yanyue scooped some with a spoon, blew it in front of her mouth, and then fed it to Yu Wenran's mouth.

Yu Wenran didn't expect Gu Yanyue to feed him porridge personally. He looked at her in surprise, but still opened his mouth and drank it.

It tasted fragrant and salty. This was the first time he had tasted such delicious salty porridge.

The hot porridge immediately warmed up his empty stomach and made him feel much better.

Yuwen Ran asked, "What kind of porridge is this? Why have I never tasted it before?"

Gu Yanyue smiled and scooped up another spoonful, blew on it, and fed it to Yuwen Ran, saying, "This porridge is preserved egg and lean meat porridge. My method is different from the meat porridge made by your royal chef here. How is it? Does it suit your Majesty's appetite?"

Yu Wenran understood and thought that this was another delicacy invented by Gu Yanyue.

Gu Yanyue kept feeding Yu Wenran like this until he finished the whole bowl of porridge.

Looking at Yuwen Ran who was well-fed by her, she couldn't help but think that her craftsmanship was so popular even in ancient times, and her face was full of relief.

Yu Wenran looked at Gu Yanyue and suddenly said, "Actually, I just heard you talking to Gu Yanrou."

This immediately brought Gu Yanyue back from her thoughts. Gu Yanyue uttered a sigh and said with a smile, "Looks like I did disturb you after all."

Yuwen Ran said in a deep voice: "I think it's time to deal with the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Gu Yanyue looked at Yu Wenran in surprise. She didn't expect that he would be ready to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion so soon.

Yuwen Ran continued, "Everything else in the Prime Minister's Mansion is fine, but the most difficult thing to deal with is the 30,000 troops held by Prime Minister Gu."

Gu Yanyue thought about how Gu Yanrou had just threatened her that she would not let her go, and felt that Gu Yanrou would definitely go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for help.

Suddenly an idea came into her mind.

"Why don't we start with Gu Yanrou?"
