Gu Yanyue listened to Yu Wenran's analysis and roughly understood, "Someone is following me. I will check it out tomorrow. Your Majesty, don't worry."

She understood what Yuwen Ran meant.

Tuoba Chen was an envoy and did not bring many people with him. It was impossible for him to send someone to follow him. If that was the case, then the person following him must be someone else.

On the other side, Tuoba Chen had no idea about all these twists and turns. He just felt happy when he received the news that Gu Yanyue invited him to dinner. He was simply overjoyed.

"Ayue, it's rare for you to invite me. Are you impressed by my charm?"

"No." Gu Yanyue answered decisively, and then looked at Tuoba Chen with a half-smile. Tuoba Chen looked at Gu Yanyue who was slowly approaching him, feeling a little uncomfortable, but unable to hide his happiness. "Ayue, it's not good in broad daylight."

As he said this, he actually closed his eyes.

Tuoba Chen screamed in pain and tried to run, but Gu Yanyue grabbed his ear and pulled him back. "Let me ask you, who told you my whereabouts? Tell me."

"Gu Yanrou...it's Gu Yanrou." Tuoba Chen quickly betrayed Gu Yanrou. He was not familiar with Gu Yanrou and there was no need to hide anything.

Gu Yanyue let go of Tuoba Chen and said angrily, "You can leave now."

"Ayue." Tuoba Chen looked aggrieved.

"Get out!" Gu Yanyue shouted.

Then she ignored Tuoba Chen and walked out.

It's time for her and Gu Yanrou to settle their old and new grudges together.

Gu Yanyue told Yuwen Ran, and then the two of them led Tuoba Chen all the way to Gu Yanrou's bedroom. With Tuoba Chen, they were not afraid that Gu Yanrou would not recognize him.

Tuoba Chen told everything as soon as he arrived. Gu Yanrou wanted to say something, but was left speechless by Tuoba Chen's words.

"Noble Concubine Rou, I've been too tolerant of you, right?"

If the Gu family had not been so powerful, Yu Wenran would not have dared to touch her, and he might have been punished again this time.

She was heartbroken, but instead of looking at Yu Wenran, she pointed at Gu Yanyue.

"Gu Yanyue, who do you think you are? You just entered the palace in my place. Do you really think you can turn from a crow into a phoenix and stand over my head?" Gu Yanrou was so angry that she almost died.

Gu Yanyue just looked at Gu Yanrou and felt that she looked like a clown.

"Gu Yanrou, you'd better put away your temper. This is not the Gu family. No one will spoil you."

"Gu Yanyue! Are you worthy enough to teach me a lesson, you bitch?"

Gu Yanrou was somewhat arrogant and domineering. She stepped forward and wanted to slap Gu Yanyue. Gu Yanyue grabbed her hand, shook it away, and then spoke in a voice that Yu Wenran could not hear in her ear.

"Gu Yanrou, don't do things that harm others and yourself. Also, you must know who poisoned my bowl of sour plum soup. Don't think your mother can protect you forever. I'm afraid the Gu family won't be able to explain themselves based on the charge of plotting to murder the emperor."

Her voice was quiet, but loud enough for both of them to hear.

Gu Yanrou only felt that Gu Yanyue made her feel more frightened than before. The woman in front of her was no longer the Gu Yanyue that she used to control.

Gu Yanyue didn't say anything more. Looking at Gu Yanrou who was standing there in a daze, she walked towards Yuwen Ran silently, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou still doesn't remember, but she is my legitimate sister after all. Please forgive her this time."

She didn't want Yu Wenran and the Gu family to become enemies again because of her own affairs, so she was willing to accompany him and tolerate the Gu family.

Yuwen Ran nodded, and the two of them left hand in hand.

However, just as the two were walking in the imperial garden, Gu Yanyue's blood pressure soared again.

"Ayue, why are you hiding from me again?" Tuoba Chen suddenly appeared, and Gu Yanyue was almost scared, with his temples throbbing.

In fact, she had long guessed that Tuoba Chen must have met the original owner, so she fell in love with him at first sight, but this ill-fated relationship really had to end quickly!

Besides, Yu Wenran finally had time to go on a date with her, so how come he met this little bastard?

"I'm not hiding from you." Gu Yanyue pulled Yu Wenran and prepared to leave quickly.

"Ayue, I've noticed that girls in your country really like hairpins, so why don't I buy you one?"

Tuoba Chen grabbed Gu Yanyue, but Gu Yanyue seemed to have touched something bad and quickly shook off Tuoba Chen's hand, "Men and women should not touch each other."

"Ayue."

Hearing Yuwen Ran's voice, Gu Yanyue immediately smiled, turned around to look at Yuwen Ran, and threw herself directly into Yuwen Ran's arms.

Tuoba Chen looked at the two smiling people and felt a little disappointed.

After Gu Yanyue broke free from him, she started talking and laughing with Yu Wenran.

When Gu Yanyue looked at Yu Wenran, her eyes were extremely gentle and sparkling.

Tuoba Chen suddenly realized a problem, that perhaps love really cannot be forced.

"Sir, do you still want to buy a hairpin?" The servant was very tactful and stepped forward to give Tuoba Chen a way out.

"I won't buy it." Tuoba Chen sighed lightly.

Then Gu Yanyue discovered a miraculous thing. Tuoba Chen, this scoundrel, no longer bothered her. Suddenly, she felt that the whole world was bright.

"Tuoba Chen." Seeing Tuoba Chen from afar, Gu Yanyue called out. Tuoba Chen turned around and saw Gu Yanyue with a smile on her face.

“Where have you been lately?”

"Why, you feel lonely without me?" Tuoba Chen was as annoying as ever, and then said magnanimously: "I won't bother you anymore. This prince is here to help others and won't do things that destroy other couples' lives." Tuoba Chen looked proud.

Gu Yanyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled. It turned out that she had figured it out.

She patted Tuoba Chen's shoulder with all her strength and said, "Not bad. I'll introduce you to a gentle and beautiful one in the future."

"That's not necessary." Tuoba Chen refused decisively, and then looked at Gu Yanyue, who was half a head shorter than him, "If you're short, don't try to show off."

Then Gu Yanyue subconsciously looked at her tiptoes and rolled her eyes at him.

As expected, he is still Tuoba Chen, as sharp-tongued as ever.

"You are not just here to play this time, right?" Gu Yanyue asked. She felt that although Tuoba Chen looked unreliable, he was actually not.

"Ayue is just smart." He paused and continued, "You also know that the Western Regions are remote, with few ingredients and not much else. The children there usually don't like to eat much, and some children even get sick because they don't like to eat. It really gives my father a headache." Tuoba Chen sighed after he finished speaking.

Gu Yanyue looked at Tuoba Chen, who was in deep thought, and thought to herself: Isn't it just a picky eater? Isn't that easy to solve? I can just stir-fry a refreshing appetizer and solve it in no time?

"Tuoba Chen, I have a recipe that might be able to help you." Gu Yanyue said. Tuoba Chen looked at Gu Yanyue in surprise. "Ayue, is that true?"

"How do you know if you don't try it?" Gu Yanyue said with a smile, his head spinning rapidly, searching for the appetizer in his mind.

My mind was stuck on a dish that is very popular in modern times and easy to make.

Tuoba Chen looked at Gu Yanyue who was smiling and knew that she must have thought of something.
