Yuwen Ran's eyes flickered after hearing Eunuch Deng's words. Since Gu Yanyue was fine, and it was Liu Yanyan who fell into the water, Gu Yanyue, the queen of a nation, was fine, but now she had caused such a big commotion, so what happened to Liu Yanyan? He wondered what had happened to Liu Yanyan that had alarmed so many people in just one night.
As expected, just as Yuwen Ran was thinking this, he heard Eunuch Deng say, "Your Majesty, it is reasonable and proper for you to ask about Concubine Liu. After all, Concubine Liu hasn't woken up since she fell into the water."
Yuwen Ran sneered: "Hmph, what tricks is Liu Yanyan playing again?" He looked quite annoyed. After all, Liu Yanyan had been causing trouble for him in the harem again and again. He didn't care, but every time it was Gu Yanyue who was involved. Even if Gu Yanyue wasn't annoyed, he would start to get annoyed.
Eunuch Deng smiled and said nothing more. However, Zheng Hai, who was following behind Yuwen Ran, felt that Eunuch Deng's smile was a bit amusing, as if some big explosive surprise was waiting for Yuwen Ran.
It was already midnight, but the Yanxi Palace was still brightly lit, with a group of palace maids kneeling in the main hall. When Yuwen Ran entered, he immediately saw the Empress Dowager and Gu Yanyue in the main hall. However, he didn't see the people from the Zhenbei Marquisate that Zheng Hai had mentioned. They might be guarding the still-awakened Liu Yanyan.
Gu Yanyue and the Queen Mother were sitting in the main hall. The Queen Mother didn't seem to be any different, and her face was still expressionless, but Gu Yanyue's face was as cold as ice at this moment.
When Yu Wenran saw Gu Yanyue's expression, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't know who had offended Gu Yanyue to make her look so unhappy. It seemed that when he went back later, he would have to coax Gu Yanyue again.
Yuwen Ran walked in directly, and Eunuch Deng hurriedly announced it. When the Queen Mother saw that Yuwen Ran had finally arrived, her expression did not change much. She just said lightly, "Emperor, you are here."
Yu Wenran looked at Gu Yanyue and asked, "Ayue, what happened?"
Yu Wenran must have known that Gu Yanyue would never push Liu Yanyan into the pond.
But now Liu Yanyan hasn't woken up yet, and Yuwen Ran had already started to take action against the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion a few days ago. There is no need to consider the face of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion at all, which makes it very difficult to deal with.
If Gu Yanyue really couldn't stand Liu Yanyan, he could just ask her to throw her out of the palace. Why did he have to go to so much trouble to push her into the water?
Seeing that Yuwen Ran had simply ignored her and hadn't even said a word of greeting, the Queen Mother knew that Yuwen Ran had truly made up his mind to break off relations with her. She said coldly, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion has just been here. Since this matter has alarmed them, you naturally need to show your attitude, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."
After saying that, the empress dowager's gaze turned to Gu Yanyue. The implication of her words was so obvious that it couldn't be more obvious. It was as if she was afraid that Yuwen Ran wouldn't be able to hear that the target of her sarcasm was Gu Yanyue.
"Have they been here?" Yu Wenran only paid attention to the Queen Mother after hearing her mention the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. However, when he heard that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion had already left, his brows suddenly furrowed and he said, "I didn't see anyone from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion when I came in. When did they leave?"
The people of the Zhenbei Marquisate had always been known to be unruly and unreasonable. Anyone who had met Liu Yanyan knew that the kind of parents would raise the kind of children they would become. Liu Yanyan's personality couldn't be said to be completely unrelated to the Zhenbei Marquis's subsequent wife; it could only be said to be exactly the same.
If the Marquis of Zhenbei could marry a second wife with a better personality, Liu Yanyan would never have such an annoying personality.
The people from the Zhenbei Marquisate were the same. Normally, they'd be so arrogant, relying on their ancestors' achievements. Now that Liu Yanyan was in trouble, and the Zhenbei Marquisate had been suffering at the hands of Yuwen Ran for the past few days, they'd definitely seize this opportunity to make a scene. They'd definitely target Gu Yanyue and keep pestering her. They might even threaten to do something if Yuwen Ran didn't agree to their demands. It was really annoying...
Now that Yuwen Ran had arrived, there was no sign of anyone from the Zhenbei Marquisate. They must have been causing trouble on Yuwen Ran's way here, or even before. Who knew that the ugly look on Gu Yanyue's face was caused by them?
"People from the Zhenbei Marquisate are coming to the palace tonight. They're not worried about Liu Yanyan getting into trouble." It was Gu Yanyue who spoke, but her expression wasn't very good anymore. "They just want to take this opportunity to get a promise from Your Majesty. Besides, they're so confident now. If they don't take this opportunity to blackmail you, I don't think they'll let you go."
Yu Wenran's heart stirred. What did he mean by "feeling confident and fearless"? Did the people from the Zhenbei Marquisate get hold of something against Gu Yanyue that made her feel so confident and fearless?
Just as he was thinking, he saw the imperial physician emerge from the bedroom. He walked up to Yuwen Ran, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, although Concubine Liu has recently caught a cold from falling into the water, she is fortunately young and in good health. Both the dragon seed in her womb and Concubine Liu are doing well. Take two doses of medicine, and rest for a while. Both mother and child will be safe."
Dragon seed in the belly??? Mother and child are safe??? Liu Yanyan is pregnant???
Yu Wenran was startled and subconsciously looked at Gu Yanyue. Gu Yanyue saw that her eyes were cold and her face was gloomy. She didn't look happy at all.
Not to mention Gu Yanyue, even Yu Wenran doesn't look happy now.
Liu Yanyan is pregnant, and I haven't even touched her, so the baby in her belly can't possibly be my own. I don't know where this bastard came from, and how dare she tell me so blatantly?
It seemed that Liu Yanyan woke up in the room and heard what the imperial physician said to Yuwen Ran outside. After hearing that Yuwen Ran did not refute what the imperial physician said, nor did he expose her, she gradually became bolder and began to call out to Yuwen Ran, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty."
Gu Yanyue's expression changed from the previous gloomy one, and she smiled at Yuwen Ran. "Your Majesty, please go and see Concubine Liu. I believe Concubine Liu must have a lot to say to Your Majesty right now. As for me, I will return to the palace first. After all, if little Yuntun can't find me when he is sleeping, he will make trouble."
