As she spoke, Gu Yanyue bowed in the direction of Yuwen Ran and the Queen Mother, then turned and left. Gu Yanyue was so dignified at this time that no one could find fault with her. However, the more calm she was, the more uncomfortable Yuwen Ran felt.
When Yuwen Ran first entered, he noticed a large wet patch on Gu Yanyue's skirt. It must have been when she and Liu Yanyan fell into the water at the lake, and Gu Yanyue's skirt got wet because of her. Furthermore, since Liu Yanyan had fallen into the water, the Empress Dowager and everyone from the Zhenbei Marquisate had rushed over. Naturally, Gu Yanyue had to act like she was concerned for Liu Yanyan. Otherwise, she would be criticized.
Yuwen Ran stared at Gu Yanyue's back without saying a word. On the contrary, Liu Yanyan in the room heard that Gu Yanyue was about to leave. She thought that she must be pregnant. Gu Yanyue must be unhappy and wanted to leave Yanxi Palace quickly, so her calling became more and more delicate.
Yu Wenran wanted to follow Gu Yanyue and go together. He had to explain this matter clearly to Gu Yanyue, otherwise it would definitely hurt the relationship between him and Gu Yanyue.
When Gu Yanyue was about to leave the palace, she suddenly turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please go in and see Concubine Liu as soon as possible. After all, what matters now is not Concubine Liu, but the child in her belly. Your Majesty believes me, so I naturally believe your Majesty too. What's fake can't become true."
The last sentence that Gu Yanyue said was indeed a bit nonsensical, but Yuwen Ran understood it. Gu Yanyue knew that the child in Liu Yanyan's belly was not a dragon seed, and she believed in herself.
After Gu Yanyue finished speaking, she didn't even look at the expression on the empress dowager's face and walked away with her maid.
As soon as she left Yanxi Palace, the air outside seemed much clearer than the air inside. Gu Yanyue took a deep breath. Time flew by so quickly. Summer would soon be over, and when the weather turned cold, the summer flowers in the palace would gradually wither. By autumn, the palace gardens were a scene of desolation.
The maid behind Gu Yanyue hung her head, thinking back to the strange atmosphere between Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue in Yanxi Palace, and the words Gu Yanyue had said to Yuwen Ran before leaving Yanxi Palace. She felt that Gu Yanyue looked strange today. It wasn't the Gu Yanyue of today, but the Gu Yanyue who had become strange after hearing that Liu Yanyan was pregnant. Could it be because of the child in Liu Yanyan's belly?
Gu Yanyue currently only has one daughter, Xiao Yuntun, and no sons. If Liu Yanyan gave birth to Yuwen Ran's eldest son before Gu Yanyue, or if Gu Yanyue couldn't give birth to a legitimate son, wouldn't Liu Yanyan's son only be the future crown prince?
No wonder Gu Yanyue's expression changed when she heard Liu Yanyan was pregnant, and so did Yuwen Ran. He and Gu Yanyue had always been very affectionate, and their harem was almost nonexistent. He didn't expect that he would fall for Liu Yanyan now.
But Yu Wenran is with Gu Yanyue every day. He either stays in the study or in Gu Yanyue’s Fengqi Palace. So how did Liu Yanyan get pregnant?
"Ah Yan?" Gu Yanyue's voice came to her ears. The palace maid came back to her senses. She had just been lost in thought in front of Gu Yanyue.
Gu Yanyue just looked at her like that, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "You are so lost in thought that you can't even hear me talking to you."
Ah Yan quickly apologized and said, "This servant is only wrong. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Gu Yanyue didn't take it to heart. "Nothing, I'm just a little curious. What are you thinking about so intently?"
"My Lady..." Ah Yan hesitated for a moment. If he told Gu Yanyue everything he had just thought about, it would be disrespectful, but if he didn't tell her, it would be deceiving her...
Gu Yanyue saw Ah Yan's embarrassment, and considering what had just happened in Yanxi Palace, she knew what Ah Yan was thinking. "Actually, I know without asking you. You must be thinking about Liu Yanyan's pregnancy, right?"
Ah Yan didn't answer Gu Yanyue. Gu Yanyue knew that her guess was correct and continued to talk. "I think you must be wondering how Liu Yanyan got the child since Ah Ran stayed in my palace almost every day, right?"
"Or, what if the baby in Liu Yanyan's belly is really Ah Ran's? What if she gives birth to a son before me?"
Ah Yan was stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Yanyue had guessed everything he had just thought in his mind, and it was not wrong at all!
Gu Yanyue noticed that Ah Yan's expression gradually changed when he looked at her, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not a mind reader, it's just that so many things happened just now, and these must be the things that can make you lose your mind."
Ah Yan said: "The Queen is wise!"
Gu Yanyue didn't stop walking, looked at Ah Yan and said with a smile: "No."
"I was just thinking about something that Your Majesty hasn't figured out." Ah Yan said, "Why don't you explain to His Majesty that it wasn't you who pushed Concubine Liu into this situation, so that His Majesty can give you justice in front of everyone."
"Last time, not many people knew about it because Concubine Liu was in the wrong. But this time, you didn't let Concubine Liu tell the truth like you did last time, and she is pregnant now. I think she will definitely spread this matter everywhere in order to ruin your reputation." At the end, A Yan gradually became dissatisfied.
Gu Yanyue stopped and smiled again, "I'm not in a hurry, so why are you? Ah Ran will handle Liu Yanyan's affairs herself, and even if she's pregnant now, I think she'll be more restrained. After all, if she really dares to publicize it inside and outside the palace, she must be mentally ill."
Ah Yan could no longer keep up with Gu Yanyue's train of thought. She really couldn't understand why Gu Yanyue would say that Liu Yanyan would be restrained after she became pregnant instead of flaunting herself in public, wishing that everyone in the palace would know that she was pregnant with Yuwen Ran's child. This was not like her personality!
"You'll know later." Gu Yanyue didn't explain everything to Ayan, but kept it a secret for Ayan.
No matter what, Yuwen Ran would definitely not let the child in Liu Yanyan's belly be born safely. After all, if this child was really born, the "green hat" on Yuwen Ran's head would be completely unremovable, even though it is already on now.
And if Liu Yanyan's child is really born, then he will take the position of the eldest prince, and he will have half the chance to be appointed as the crown prince in the future. Yuwen Ran is not stupid enough to leave his kingdom to an outsider.
