Yu Wenran didn't have the same thoughts as Gu Yanyue: "Ayue, are you scared?"

"I'm fine." Gu Yanyue looked at Yu Wenran and answered with a smile.

Only then did Yuwen Ran feel relieved. Gu Yanyue originally wanted to find out who was causing trouble under her nose, but she found that Yuwen Ran looked depressed today, so she had to postpone the matter.

"Ayue, do you think I am useless?" Yuwen Ran suddenly asked.

Gu Yanyue's independence made him feel that even without him, Gu Yanyue could live well, and he could understand even if Gu Yanyue chose someone else.

Gu Yanyue sneered: "Aran, what I have always pursued is a successful career and a happy family. Just like now, I love you, but it doesn't stop me from opening a restaurant. You love me, but it doesn't stop you from becoming the emperor. That's enough."

"Then when did you get to know Tuoba Chen?" Yu Wenran felt a little aggrieved.

Gu Yanyue looked at the aggrieved Yuwen Ran and suddenly understood why Yuwen Ran was acting so strangely. "Yuwen Ran, you... you're not jealous, are you?"

Yu Wenran was somewhat arrogant: "No!"

Gu Yanyue didn't say anything, just smiled at Yu Wenran and coaxed him a few words. After all, he was just a child, and Gu Yanyue calmed down after coaxing him a few words.

"Ayue, don't leave me." Yuwen Ran suddenly said.

"No!" Gu Yanyue looked at Yuwen Ran and understood the loneliness in his heart. He was still a child. If it weren't for this situation, he wouldn't be living such a tiring life now. All Gu Yanyue could do was to accompany him.

…

However, on the other side, Tuoba Chen, the big Buddha, still had not been sent away. After knowing that he came for her, Gu Yanyue had been avoiding him for several days. Unexpectedly, they met in the Imperial Garden today.

"Ayue!" Tuoba Chen called out loudly, and then walked out from behind the tree with a smile on his face.

Gu Yanyue rolled her eyes.

"Ayue, you're so cruel. Not only did you get me drunk, but you even avoided me." Tuoba Chen looked aggrieved. Gu Yanyue pulled away and was about to leave, but Tuoba Chen stopped her and said, "Ayue, can't you just be kind to me?"

Gu Yanyue was speechless for a moment, and finally managed to force a smile, "Your Highness, you should go back to the Western Regions."

"Then A Yue, come back with me." Tuoba Chen stepped forward and directly grabbed Gu Yanyue.

Gu Yanyue hurriedly shook off Tuo Bachen's hand, "What are you doing? Men and women shouldn't touch each other. As the current empress, how can I allow you to offend me so casually?"

She took a few steps back and said, "Your Highness, I have no interest in you at all. Please stop pestering me. Can't I change what you like about me?"

Gu Yanyue was really speechless, and she didn't know why Tuoba Chen fell in love with her.

Tuoba Chen smiled and said, "Ayue, I like everything about you. As long as it's you, I'm the most fond of you." Tuoba Chen's words left Gu Yanyue speechless.

Gu Yanyue gave Tuoba Chen a look and left.

"Ayue, we have a long way to go!" Looking at Gu Yanyue's back, Tuoba Chen said something surprising.

Gu Yanyue almost vomited when she heard that, "Psycho!"

She disappeared very quickly, as if she didn't want to stay even a moment longer.

Gu Yanrou hid in the dark, watching the interaction between the two, and came up with an idea.

"Your Highness, don't go." Gu Yanrou said.

Tuoba Chen turned around and looked at Gu Yanrou.

"Your Highness, I can help you get Gu Yanyue."

Tuoba Chen looked at Gu Yanrou, "Who are you? How can I trust you?"

Gu Yanrou revealed her identity and said that she could help Tuoba Chen get Gu Yanyue.

Tuoba Chen looked at the brainless woman in front of him and a plan came to his mind. "I can promise you, but there is no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want from this prince?"

"What I want is Yuwen Ran."

…

Afterwards, Gu Yanrou arranged for someone to follow Gu Yanyue and revealed all of Gu Yanyue's whereabouts to Tuoba Chen.

On the other side, Gu Yanyue was having a headache because Tuoba Chen was like a dog-skin plaster and could be found everywhere.

"Ayue, did you miss me?"

"I want to beat you to death." Gu Yanyue gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes. It was so tiring to be entangled by someone you don't like.

"Tuoba Chen, why are you pestering me? What is your purpose?" Gu Yanyue was very straightforward. She felt that Tuoba Chen must have a purpose. She felt that she did not have the ability to make people fall in love at first sight.

"I just like you."

Gu Yanyue was speechless. He was indeed extremely shameless.

In the days that followed, Gu Yanyue felt very depressed and had to hide every day. Finally, Gu Yanyue had to hide quietly in a restaurant, and then told Yuwen Ran not to worry, and told him to send Tuoba Chen back to the country as soon as possible.

According to the Queen Mother's wishes, Yuwen Ran should go to see Gu Yanrou today, but Yuwen Ran is very upset. After all, Tuoba Chen cannot be driven away directly, and no one from the Western Regions will be sent to pick him up. He is so worried.

"Your Majesty!" Gu Yan's voice was gentle and charming, making people feel soft and tingling when hearing it, but Yu Wen Ran could neither see nor hear it and simply ignored it.

Gu Yanrou suppressed her temper and said, "I know that my sister has been close to the envoy from the Western Regions recently. Your Majesty is not happy about this, but Your Majesty should still take care of your health."

She paused as she spoke, "Your Majesty, I'm not being nosy, but my sister has been sending envoys from the Western Regions in pairs lately..."

Having said that, she didn't continue.

Yuwen Ran looked at Gu Yanrou.

Gu Yanrou lowered her head, thinking that Yuwen Ran believed what she said, so she continued to exaggerate: "Your Majesty, my sister didn't mean it. I will ask her later. Your Majesty, don't think too much about it."

Yu Wenran looked at Gu Yanrou and suddenly understood a word that Gu Yanyue told him: green tea.

"Your Majesty, have some tea." Gu Yanrou stopped talking about Gu Yanyue and served tea to Yuwen Ran.

Yuwen Ran took the teacup and poured it all over Gu Yanrou's face: "Noble Concubine Rou, please wake up and don't speak ill of the Queen all the time. It will make me upset."

After saying this, he put down the cup and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he said, "I came to see you today. Don't go to the Queen Mother's place and make trouble in the future!"

In the middle of the night, Gu Yanyue sneaked back to the palace and slipped into the imperial study when no one was paying attention. "A Ran!"

"Ayue, how did you become like this?" Looking at Gu Yanyue in black, Yuwen Ran was a little amused.

"Keep your voice down." Gu Yanyue said, "Tuoba Chen is just a dog-skin plaster, you can't get rid of him even if you shake him off."

With a tearful face, she complained to Yu Wenran about her miserable experiences of the past few days.

"Really, he's really haunting me. He knows where I go." For the first time, Gu Yanyue felt that being thick-skinned was really scary.

Yu Wenran sensitively grasped the clues in Gu Yanyue's words, "Ayue, don't you find it strange that Tuoba Chen knows everything about you?"

Gu Yanyue looked up at Yuwen Ran, as if she had suddenly realized something, "You mean Tuoba Chen is following me."

"Maybe!" Yu Wenran said, and then added: "It's also possible that someone is following you and telling him."
