Yu Wenran reacted extremely quickly, dodging the silver light from Gu Yanyue by turning sideways. He then pulled Gu Yanyue into his arms from behind and took the dagger from her hand.
Gu Yanyue had seen through who Yuwen Ran was the moment he dodged his dagger. Seeing Bai Youjin and his men rushing over, he was at a loss for words for a moment.
She saw clearly who the person was, but when Bai Youjin arrived, Yuwen Ran's back was facing her. She thought that the assassin was so powerful that he could even break through the trap she had set up. She turned her hands into claws and was about to pounce on Yuwen Ran's back when Gu Yanyue suddenly shouted, "Master! Master! He is Ah Ran! Not an assassin!"
Bai Youjin put down his hand and repeated what Gu Yanyue said: "Is he Yuwen Ran?"
Gu Yanyue struggled out of Yuwen Ran's arms and pushed Yuwen Ran in front of Bai You, so that Bai Youjin and the palace maids and eunuchs could see clearly that this was really Yuwen Ran: "Master, he is really A Ran!"
The moment Bai Youjin saw Yuwen Ran clearly, his eyes nearly rolled up. "Why are you up in the middle of the night, running into the palace to tinker with the mechanisms? Is being an emperor too much for you, so you want to change your job and learn the art of mechanisms from me?"
Yuwen Ran looked at Bai Youjin, almost wanting to cry. "Senior, don't blame me! I've been burning the midnight oil in the imperial study for days straight. I finally got a break and wanted to sneak back home to hold A Yue and have a good night's sleep. I never imagined this hall would be filled with so many mechanical devices."
Bai Youjin complained about him, but he still felt wronged! What husband is like him? He wanted to sleep with his wife but found it harder than climbing to the sky, just like Tang Monk going to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Gu Yanyue couldn't hold back her composure when she heard this, and burst out laughing. As she did so, she explained to Bai Youjin, "Master, this is my fault... I forgot to send someone to tell Ah Ran that Fengqi Palace had installed a trap, which is why this misunderstanding happened."
Gu Yanyue laughed so hard that tears came out. Yuwen Ran couldn't stand it anymore. In front of Bai Youjin and a group of palace maids and eunuchs, he hugged Gu Yanyue in his arms, bent down and pinched Gu Yanyue's waist. The warning was self-evident.
"Senior, it's getting late now. You should go back and rest early. Ah Yue and I are also going to rest. Senior, please understand that I haven't slept for a few days and let me go to bed early."
Gu Yanyue hurriedly broke free from his embrace, her ears flushed. It was really embarrassing to be so intimate in front of Bai Youjin and the eunuchs and palace maids, but Yuwen Ran hadn't had a good rest for several days, so she couldn't shake off his hand again.
Bai You looked at them for a while, then slowly smiled: "Then I and the others will not stay here to disturb you. Go to bed early."
After Bai Youjin left, Yuwen Ran let go of Gu Yanyue's hand, walked to the bed without saying a word and sat down. He didn't take off his clothes or lie down, but just raised his chin and looked at Gu Yanyue not far away.
Gu Yanyue understood what he meant. Yuwen Ran was unhappy again. Gu Yanyue shook his head and thought: How can he still be so childish at such a big age? Even Xiao Yuntun is not as childish as his father.
But despite complaining, Gu Yanyue still walked over and sat next to Yuwen Ran, took Yuwen Ran's arm, and leaned her head on his shoulder: "Ah Ran, I was wrong. Will you forgive me?"
"What's wrong?"
"My mistake is..." Gu Yanyue suddenly paused. She didn't know what she did wrong, but it was right to admit her mistake first. "I was wrong, please forgive me." After saying that, she rubbed Yu Wenran's arm in a flattering manner.
Yu Wenran's temper came and went quickly. Basically, as soon as Gu Yanyue gave him an excuse, he would run down it: "Hurry up and go to bed, Ah Yue, I'm so sleepy."
Gu Yanyue touched Yuwen Ran's head and let him press her on him. His hands and feet entangled with Gu Yanyue's body. Yuwen Ran sighed with satisfaction, "Comfortable!"
Being a wise emperor was not easy. He would not see his empress for days at a time when he was busy. If possible, he would like to be a tyrant, so that he could hold his empress and sleep until noon every day, and he would not have to stay in the imperial study every day to review memorials, and he could not even rest on his days off.
The weather was getting colder day by day. When Yuwen Ran got up early to go to court, Gu Yanyue would always remind him to put on more clothes to avoid catching a cold, as he would be the one who would suffer.
Unexpectedly, Yuwen Ran wore light clothes every day and did not catch a cold, but Xiao Yuntun wore thick clothes every day but still caught a cold.
That day, Gu Yanyue had just sent Yuwen Ran out of the palace and was about to go back to take a nap when the palace maid came to Gu Yanyue in her arms, holding Xiao Yuntun. She said that Xiao Yuntun had a fever this morning and had been crying and looking for his mother. She had no other choice but to come to her with Xiao Yuntun in her arms.
When Gu Yanyue took the wonton, she found that its temperature was so high that it was burning hot. She hurriedly asked someone to secretly invite Qin Ruoruo into the palace.
This is not because she would rather go far away and ignore the imperial physician in the palace, but instead ask someone to go outside the palace to invite Qin Ruoruo into the palace.
First, Qin Ruoruo's medical skills are more advanced than those of the imperial physicians in the palace. If the imperial physicians were to diagnose me, I'm sure none of them would be able to recover.
She was afraid of drinking those bitter Chinese medicines, let alone wontons. If she had to drink those Chinese medicines for a week, they would definitely be pickled and flavorful.
Secondly, not all the imperial doctors in the palace were reliable. When she first came here, Yuwen Ran had been poisoned for a long time, and the medicines prescribed by the imperial doctors did not help him, but made him even more poisonous.
From then on, she suspected that the doctors in the Imperial Hospital might not be reliable, but Yuwen Ran did not have much real power at that time. Later, after Yuwen Ran gained power, she got to know Qin Ruoruo, and after a long time, she gave up the idea of asking Yuwen Ran to thoroughly investigate the Imperial Hospital.
After Qin Ruoruo came to see her, she discovered that Little Yuntun had just a common cold and fever. Children have weaker immune systems due to seasonal changes, so if she just wore more clothes and worked up a sweat, she'd be fine. Gu Yanyue had her hurriedly taken from Duke Qin's residence. She'd assumed Little Yuntun had some serious illness that even the palace physicians couldn't cure.
Unexpectedly, it was just a minor illness. If she had entered the palace a little later, Xiao Yuntun would have been sweating because of Gu Yanyue, and the fever would have subsided before she entered the palace.
Yu Wenran placed the entire Qin Guogong mansion under house arrest. If Qin Ruoruo had sneaked into the palace, she should not stay there for long. After saying goodbye to Gu Yanyue, she asked the eunuch who brought her in to take her out again.
Gu Yanyue asked the palace maid to add two more pieces of clothes for Xiao Yuntun. Poor Xiao Yuntun was wrapped like a ball by Gu Yanyue, and it was extremely difficult for him to even stretch out his hands.
