"Mother."
Concubine Xiao raised her head, as if she had just noticed his arrival, and looked at him in surprise, "Fanzhi, why did you come to the palace today? Is it because..."
As she spoke, she set her gaze on Gu Pianran.
Gu Fanzhi immediately stated, "I missed you, mother, so I came to see you."
"Really?" Concubine Xiao smiled and didn't expose him.
After Gu Fanzhi entered, he glanced at Gu Pianran. Seeing that she was fine, he finally felt relieved.
"Of course."
Gu Fanzhi started chatting with Concubine Xiao, and when he saw Gu Pianran standing there, he frowned slightly. When Concubine Xiao saw her son's expression, she knew what kind of person he was.
Concubine Xiao looked up at Gu Pianran, "Pianran, why are you still standing? Come here and sit next to me."
Gu Pianran leaned forward slightly and slowly walked towards her.
Concubine Xiao took her little hand affectionately and asked her to sit down.
Gu Fanzhi looked at the two of them, his slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Half an hour later, Gu Fanzhi and Gu Pianran left together.
"Hongling, do you think that woman will be obedient?" Concubine Xiao always felt that the woman was not simple.
If an ordinary woman saw him, she would have been trembling with fear, but she was calm and composed throughout the whole process. It was obvious that she was not a weak woman.
If such a woman was a lady from a noble family, she would naturally be happy that she could be with Fan Zhi and help him.
Unfortunately, she is just a merchant's daughter, and is entangled with Tang Jingyu.
Such an unclean woman, if mixed up with Fan Zhi, would only ruin his plans.
"Your Majesty may rest assured. As long as she cares about her family, she will not dare to go against you."
"I've been worried and can't let it go. No, you have to send a message to my brother and ask them to keep a close eye on that woman. Don't let her get pregnant with Fanzhi's child." Concubine Xiao ordered.
"I will make the arrangements."

"Did my mother do anything to you?" Gu Fanzhi asked with concern.
"Didn't you see it?" Gu Pianran smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.
Gu Fanzhi held her hand tightly and said, "No matter what Mother says, I cannot change my determination to have you."
Gu Pianran slowly pulled her hand out of his, "Your Highness, there is a difference between you and me, men and women. It's not good to be seen by outsiders."
He sensed that she was distancing herself from him.
"Did your mother say something to you?" Gu Fanzhi asked anxiously.
Gu Pianran smiled and said, "Look, this is a gift from the Imperial Concubine. If she had said anything to me, how could she have given me such a valuable thing? So don't think too much about it. It's still in the palace now. If others see it, it will be bad for your reputation."
After hearing her explanation, Gu Fanzhi's doubts gradually subsided.
"Pianran, I will marry you and make you my princess." Gu Fanzhi said solemnly.
"What are you talking about?" Gu Pianran lowered her head shyly.
The two of them got on the carriage together, and the news that Gu Fanzhi wanted Tang Jingyu's woman finally reached the ears of Emperor Wenxuan thanks to the help of someone with ulterior motives.
After Emperor Wenxuan heard the news, he summoned Gu Fanzhi to the palace immediately.
"Is that woman Gu Pianran living in your house?" asked Emperor Wenxuan.
When Gu Fanzhi heard this, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that someone was telling tales.
