"Is she unwell? Should we summon the imperial physician?"
Lotus was taken aback and almost forgot to reply.
Unexpectedly, even His Majesty's reply was just as the young master had predicted.
"Your Majesty, the young lady is merely troubled by worries and anxieties; it's not a serious illness," she replied, following the template the young lady had prepared for her.
According to the young lady's guess, once she said that, His Majesty would give up on seeing her and leave.
Xiao Dingyuan sighed, "She doesn't want to see me because she's heartbroken. Very well, let her take good care of herself then, I'll come another day."
After saying this, the emperor left with a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
Lotus opened her mouth wide, a feeling of admiration for her mistress welling up in her heart.
She ran back into the house and excitedly told Gu Jiangli:
"My lady, you guessed everything perfectly! His Majesty didn't punish me, nor was he angry that you wouldn't see him. Even the words he said were exactly as you guessed! You're amazing! How did you know all this?"
Gu Jiangli smiled; everything was under her control.
"Silly Lotus, I know all this because I understand His Majesty."
It should be said that she not only understood His Majesty, but also men.
"I see, my lady. I admire you so much. You didn't see it, but when His Majesty left, the love and reluctance in his eyes was palpable, even to someone like me who has never experienced love!"
"Yeah?"
It's normal; people who fall in love are like that.
“However, my lady,” Lotus suddenly changed her expression, “if you continue to avoid His Majesty like this, won’t he eventually become angry?”
"Of course not," Gu Jiangli replied confidently. "What you can't have always stirs your heart. The more I play hard to get and refuse him, the more he'll be like a cat scratching at his heart, unable to forget me."
Lotus nodded blankly.
Although I don't understand, Your Highness's confidence must mean you have a very clear plan.
In this way, she wouldn't have to worry.
Gu Jiangli then instructed, "Lotus, go and find out where His Majesty went after leaving Yilan Palace."
Lotus, having received the order, dashed out in a flash.
Before long, the lotus flowers returned.
"Your Majesty! His Majesty didn't go anywhere; he returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"
Gu Jiangli felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
Just as I expected.
Xiao Dingyuan, you left Yilan Palace and didn't go looking for other concubines. You are now completely under my control.
