In the teahouse.

General Su was sitting in a private room on the second floor drinking tea. He thought of Yuwen Ran's unusual behavior in recent days, frowned from time to time, and secretly considered how he should deal with it.

At this time, the waiter's voice came, "Sir, please come this way."

General Su glanced at that place and saw that the person coming was Prince Xiang who had just returned to Beijing yesterday. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He coughed and sent his trusted aides to invite King Xiang over.

It was precisely because General Su kindly invited King Xiang to have tea that he did not refuse.

"Your Highness, Prince Xiang, you may not know that the West Lake Longjing tea in this teahouse tastes excellent."

While speaking, General Su attentively poured him a cup of tea and handed it to King Xiang.

Prince Xiang just smiled nonchalantly and said, "Thank you very much, General Su, for your kindness."

He savored it carefully, nodding his head in praise, "This tea is truly excellent."

At this time, General Su came closer and said in an ambiguous tone, "Your Highness, Prince Xiang, if you are willing, I would naturally be happy to treat you to tea every day in the future."

It would be great if he could have tea with me every day.

Perhaps on the surface General Su was talking about drinking tea, but in fact, King Xiang knew what General Su's real intention was.

But King Xiang knew very well that General Su would fall soon.

If I join forces with General Su at this time, I'm afraid I will be affected.

King Xiang always loved to laugh, and when he laughed, people felt that he was not arrogant at all.

"I appreciate General Su's kindness, but I just returned to Kyoto City and I'm not particularly fond of this teahouse."

King Xiang smiled and rejected General Su's kindness.

As a result, even though General Su was unhappy at this moment, he couldn't say anything more.

"If that's the case, then I won't bother His Royal Highness Prince Xiang with his tea."

General Su narrowed his eyes, stood up and bowed.

Then General Su left in a hurry.

Looking at General Su's gradually receding back, King Xiang placed the teacup on the table, but the tea remained untouched.

All the trivial matters in the palace have been resolved.

Concubine Su is currently in confinement after giving birth, so naturally she has no time to cause trouble for Gu Yanyue, so she has been really idle for a while.

She simply went to look for Yuwen Ran.

Seeing Gu Yanyue coming, Yuwen Ran didn't even bother to take care of the memorial in his hand. He closed the booklet, and his handsome face was full of doting tenderness. "Ayue, why did you suddenly think of coming to the imperial study today?"

Gu Yanyue reached out and touched her nose a little embarrassedly.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Yanyue blinked her dark eyes and spoke bluntly.

"Your Majesty, I want to go out of the palace to take a look today."

I guess it's just boring in the palace.

Yu Wenran smiled helplessly and did not refuse, "Then Yue, you must remember to pay attention to your safety."

With Yu Wenran's permission, Gu Yanyue ran away without a second thought.

Yu Wenran couldn't feel at ease, so he simply sent secret guards to follow and secretly protect Gu Yanyue's safety.

The streets are very lively.

Seeing that there was a jewelry store not far away, Gu Yanyue wanted to go in and buy some jewelry she liked, but unexpectedly, from a long distance away, Gu Yanyue heard intermittent sounds coming from it.

"You're so young, yet you're doing something so sneaky!"

"I don't……"

Hearing the voice, Gu Yanyue frowned slightly and trotted over again.

Seeing Qin Ruoruo surrounded by people, Gu Yanyue pushed through the crowd without thinking and came to her.

"Ruoruo, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Gu Yanyue tried her best to comfort her and looked around.

The owner of the jewelry shop insisted that Qin Ruoruo stole the things.

But in Gu Yanyue's eyes, Qin Ruoruo has always been a delicate person, so how could she have the courage to do such a thing.

On the contrary, the maidservant beside her had a look of gloating with a hint of success in her eyes.

She used a trick and lured the maid out.

"What are you laughing at here?"

Faced with Gu Yanyue's question, the maid turned away without thinking, with an evasive look in her eyes.

"I didn't laugh at anything. It's you...you saw it wrongly."

Gu Yanyue continued, with a look of scrutiny in her eyes, "Why would you do such a thing and put the blame on her?"

The maidservant who was originally arrogant and domineering suddenly panicked, "I didn't steal the jewelry!"

The truth is revealed.

"I haven't even had a chance to tell you what you did, why are you confessing?"

Gu Yanyue gently stretched out her hand and helped Qin Ruoruo, who had just fallen to the ground, up, and then taught this arrogant maid a lesson on her behalf.

Seeing the shop owner report to the police, Gu Yanyue simply took Qin Ruoruo away with red eyes.

Even after leaving the jewelry shop, Qin Ruoruo was still crying and looked pitiful.

She felt pity for you and asked with particular concern, "Ruoruo, if you have any grievances, please tell me. Perhaps I can help you."

Hearing this, Qin Ruoruo couldn't help but throw herself into Gu Yanyue's arms.

Later, from Qin Ruoruo's sobbing response, Gu Yanyue realized that Qin Ruoruo had been targeted everywhere when she was in the Qin family and had no place to live.

Rather than letting Qin Ruoruo go back and continue to be treated coldly.

It would be better to bring Qin Ruoruo back to the palace.

At least by his side, Qin Ruoruo would not be framed or bullied for no reason.

In order to comfort Qin Ruoruo, Gu Yanyue specially prepared sweet and delicious milk tea.

"Ruoruo, try it. I prepared this specially for you."

After leaving the court, Yu Wenran saw Gu Yanyue and Qin Ruoruo sitting together from afar.

He even had an illusion that if Qin Ruoruo continued to spend time with Gu Yanyue day and night, he would probably fall out of favor.

Qin Ruoruo drank two sips of milk tea obediently, her almond-shaped eyes full of surprise, "It's delicious."

Gu Yanyue unconsciously reached out and rubbed her head, and even her voice became gentler when she spoke, "Since it tastes good, drink more."

If Qin Ruoruo had known that Gu Yanyue was a good cook, she would have had many ideas.

Now that she was taking care of herself so considerately, Qin Ruoruo was particularly touched. She blinked her big watery eyes and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing Gu Yanyue's meticulous care for Qin Ruoruo, Yu Wenran felt dissatisfied.

He simply pretended to be jealous and asked Gu Yanyue to coax him, "Ayue, I'm afraid there is no place for me in your eyes now."
