After being scolded, Gu Yan sighed helplessly and bowed to leave.
When Gu Yan returned to Qingfeng Garden, Yun Xiangye woke up.
Seeing Gu Yan's helpless expression, Yun Xiangye asked, "Where have you been?"
Gu Yan said: "My father asked me to discuss something. There have been some unpleasant rumors outside in recent days."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Did your father-in-law scold you?"
Gu Yan said: "It's okay to be scolded. He doesn't like me anyway."
Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "If my father-in-law didn't like you, why would he waste his energy scolding you? Are there any unpleasant rumors out there?"
Gu Yan said: "It's nothing more than nonsense that our Gu family colluded with the Crown Princess to kill the Crown Prince and wanted to turn Yu'er into a puppet emperor. Your Majesty and Your Highness will not believe this nonsense."
Yun Xiangye said, "This matter could be big or small. Will it really not affect our family?"
Gu Yan said, "My father returned the Gu family's 100,000-man army and command to Your Majesty for my mother's sake. Doesn't Your Majesty know my father's loyalty? My father grew up under Your Majesty's watch. Don't worry, these nonsense will not affect our family. Just rest assured."
Yun Xiangye threw herself into Gu Yan's arms and whispered, "I'm sorry, I seem to have always caused you trouble."
"Why are you being so polite and distant to me? If you really feel sorry for me, then let Nuonuo have a little sister as soon as possible..."
Gu Yan said this and looked down at Yun Xiangye.
Yun Xiangye whispered, "When the Crown Princess passes away, isn't there a forty-nine-day national mourning period? Besides, she's my sister..."
Gu Yan said: "Then I will go find some contraceptive medicine first."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Can men also take contraceptive pills?"
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I took it often during the two years I was in Yongxing City. However, the effect of men's contraceptive medicine is not as good as that of women's. Xiao Jingru is an exception."
Yun Xiangye finally understood why she couldn't get pregnant after returning to Chang'an. It was really Gu Yan's fault.
Yun Xiangye asked, "Since there's a contraceptive pill for men, why don't you give it to His Highness? Why do you insist on making my sister take that harmful contraceptive pill?"
Gu Yan said: "He is the crown prince, and the royal bloodline is already weak. How could he possibly take the same contraceptive pills as men?"
"Then your Gu family's bloodline is not weak?" Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said.
Gu Yan said: "Although it is thin, I ate it after I got Nuonuo. I took medicine in Yongxing City because I was afraid that you would hurt your body if you got pregnant again and again."
Yun Xiangye pursed her lips and said, "Don't take the medicine for now. Just endure this period of time. I don't want Nuonuo to keep nagging for a sister."
Gu Yan leaned close to Yun Xiangye's ear and whispered, "It's only about forty-nine days of national mourning. If you're really pregnant by then, it doesn't matter if you tell me a few days earlier or later."
Gu Yan didn't want to help Yun Xiangye so much without any benefit and not have to eat meat for forty-nine days.
Gu Yan lowered the bed curtains, and Yun Xiangye said, "It's still broad daylight."
Gu Yan chuckled and said, "It's rare that I have free time during the day."
Yun Xiangye was really embarrassed. Just as she was about to give in to Gu Yan reluctantly, Yin Liu's voice was heard outside.
"Sir, Master Xie and the Prince of Xiang are requesting an audience."
Gu Yan frowned.
Yun Xiangye smiled softly, "Go quickly."
Gu Yan stood up and straightened his clothes. "They better have something urgent to do."
When Gu Yan walked outside, he saw Zhao Rui crying, "Cousin, my brother is vomiting and can't eat. The imperial physician said he doesn't have much time left. What should we do?"
