Gu Yanyue nodded and took another step forward, getting closer to him.
Her eyes were filled with smiles. "Of course I know what I'm talking about. Your Majesty suffers from anorexia. In ancient times, if there was no good treatment, it might have been a fatal disease. The moment I rescued Your Majesty, the Gu family knew my intentions. If Your Majesty still doesn't know my intentions, then I'll be at a great loss."
Yu Wenran stared at her with a complicated expression. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly spoke and uttered a few words: "Why?"
He didn't understand why the woman in front of him would give up her position as the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and choose to stand on his side.
He clearly has nothing.
It's obviously just a puppet.
Gu Yanyue looked at him helplessly. She couldn't say that it was because she had obtained the original owner's memory and knew that although the original owner was the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was a concubine's daughter after all, and had been bullied by everyone in the family since childhood.
Prime Minister Gu was reluctant to let his delicate eldest daughter marry into the palace. In addition, the original owner wanted to enter the palace and marry Yuwen Ran so much, so the Prime Minister sent the original owner into the palace.
If one day, Prime Minister Gu no longer wants to be second only to the emperor and instead usurps the throne to become the emperor, Prime Minister Gu will definitely not let her go just because she is his daughter, and she, the queen, will undoubtedly die.
Compared to sitting and waiting for death, Gu Yanyue prefers to take her fate into her own hands.
Moreover, Gu Yanyue could see that Yuwen Ran didn't want to sit and wait for death. He had ambitions, which could just save her.
"I can only stand on your side, Your Majesty." Gu Yanyue smiled.
This is the truth, the real truth.
Yuwen Ran stared at her, as if he understood something, and shook his head helplessly, "I thought we were two different people, but I didn't expect that we are both wanderers in this world?"
Gu Yanyue nodded and said with a smile: "That's exactly what I meant."
Before the two of them could finish their conversation, Eunuch Gao suddenly came running over, his anxiety evident in his words: "Your Majesty, Miss Gu requests an audience."
When Gu Yanyue heard the words "Miss Gu", her brows slightly frowned.
Yuwen Ran was also a little surprised, but his years as a puppet emperor had taught him to be patient, so he just called Miss Gu Yanrou in lightly.
Gu Yanrou slowly walked in front of the two of them. She was wearing a light blue long dress, with a smile on her red lips, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, her slender waist was not even as thin as a hand, and her eyes were like a lotus flower emerging from the water, with clear waves in them. She was extremely beautiful and charming.
The next second, Gu Yanrou flipped her wrist and performed a standard palace ceremony, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live Your Majesty."
After she finished speaking, the old woman behind her stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Miss Gu is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family. She is gentle and kind. My eldest daughter has long admired Your Majesty. I wonder if Your Majesty would do me the honor of fulfilling her wish."
Gu Yanyue sneered in her heart. She knew this person from the original owner's memory. This old woman was Nanny Lin, the maid who came with the Prime Minister's wife as a dowry. She was sent by the wife to be by Gu Yanrou's side to take care of her. She was very smooth and shrewd.
When the original owner was still in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Nanny Lin often helped Gu Yanrou bully the original owner. She was an out-and-out old fox.
Now what Nanny Lin said clearly meant that she was ordering Yuwen Ran to let Gu Yanrou enter the harem in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Gu Yanyue naturally understood the underlying meaning. She leaned closer to Yuwen Ran and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Your Majesty, the Gu family already knows that I'm on your side. If I hadn't been abandoned, Prime Minister Gu would never have been willing to send his beloved daughter to the palace."
Yuwen Ran nodded, indicating that he understood.
With just this nod, Gu Yanyue noticed that Yu Wenran was in a very low mood.
She glanced at Yuwen Ran out of the corner of her eye, but saw that the latter's face had already turned ashen with anger. Fortunately, it was dark at night, and Nanny Lin and Gu Yanrou were too far away from Yuwen Ran to see his expression at all. Only Gu Yanyue, who was standing beside him, could notice it.
She was about to say something to ease the awkwardness, but unexpectedly Yu Wenran secretly reached out and held her hand.
The wide robe just blocked the two people's secret hand-holding. As if he had been saved, Yuwen Ran's expression relaxed a little, returning to his usual coldness. "Please stand up. Draft an imperial decree to confer the title of Imperial Consort Rou on Gu Yanrou, daughter of the Gu family, and to bring her into Zhaoyang Palace."
Seeing the two people thanking him with joy, Yuwen Ran felt sick. He suddenly felt like the problem he had during the day was coming back and his legs went weak.
Gu Yanyue was standing closest to him, luckily she was quick to support Yu Wenran.
Eunuch Gao also rushed over to support Yuwen Ran, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, His Majesty's old headache has come back, and he is really a little weak. Why don't you return to the palace to rest first, and we can talk again another day?"
This is an order to expel the guest.
Gu Yanrou had been an extremely noble and legitimate daughter since she was a child, the apple of the eye of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. Now that she was married, how could she be willing to be ignored by the emperor on her first night in the palace? She immediately said, "Your Majesty, I will help you go back."
As soon as these words were spoken, Nanny Lin felt that something was wrong and quickly tugged at her master's sleeve.
But Gu Yanrou seemed not to notice. She had already been furious when she saw Gu Yanyue and Yuwen Ran whispering to each other. Now that she saw Gu Yanyue was about to take Yuwen Ran away, she could no longer bear it. She stood up and looked at Gu Yanyue resentfully, "Empress, you want to monopolize the emperor's favor tonight. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Why did Gu Yanyue, a bastard, take away what belonged to her?
Gu Yanrou has been used to bullying Gu Yanyue since she was a child, and she simply cannot tolerate Gu Yanyue climbing over her head. If Gu Yanyue had not been unreasonable when she entered the palace before, and her father and mother were reluctant to let her go to the palace to suffer, the position of queen should have been hers!
What she couldn't bear even more was that Gu Yanyue wanted to steal her husband away on her first night in the palace!
However, Yuwen Ran just glanced at her coldly, and the flash of murderous intent was perfectly covered by the cool night.
Eunuch Gao quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Your Highness, you may not know this, but the Empress knows a little bit about cooking, which happens to be a cure for Your Majesty's anorexia. Now that Your Majesty has suffered from this fatal old ailment, it is natural that the Empress will use a little trick to protect His Majesty's health."
"She knows how to cook?" Gu Yanrou acted as if she had heard some ridiculous joke. "Gu Yanyue, you don't have to come up with such a low-brow excuse if you want to seduce His Majesty, do you? You and I grew up together, so how could I not know whether you can cook?"
