Luo Jiu glanced at him, then lowered her head and chuckled, "Uncle, what are you thinking?"
Seeing Gu Muchen looking at him with disbelief again, he quickly assured him:
"Really, I just want to ask about your condition. If you don't get better, I'll worry and feel guilty every day."
"Heh!" Gu Muchen chuckled and turned his head away.
What's wrong with the male protagonist? He doesn't think he did anything wrong, but a slight sense of guilt is creeping into his heart. What's going on?
-007, what do you think?

Luo Jiu: ...What happened?
...
The Regent's Palace.
This was Luo Jiu's first visit to the Regent's Palace since her transmigration. It was built outside the palace, but it was the closest to the palace gates and in the best environment. This clearly demonstrated how much the late emperor trusted and valued Gu Muchen.
The Regent's Palace covers a large area, but to Luo Jiu's surprise, after walking through most of the palace, she only saw a few gatekeepers and rough housekeepers, and she rarely saw even a few young maids.
This made Luo Jiu somewhat suspicious, and she murmured, "Uncle, you don't actually like women, do you?"
Gu Muchen was so shocked by her words that veins bulged on his forehead. He suppressed his anger and took a few deep breaths before saying, "So you mean it?"
Luo Jiu was unaware that she was flirting with Gu Muchen's demise.
"Look at you, your palace is so big, yet you don't even have a few beautiful young women. You spend all your time with a bunch of burly men. Don't you like women? It's alright, Imperial Uncle. I'm very open-minded and won't object. Just tell me which one you've taken a fancy to, and I'll immediately bestow a marriage upon you."
"A marriage decreed by imperial decree?" Gu Muchen finally couldn't hold back any longer and said through gritted teeth, "He really is like a man who will climb onto the roof and tear off the tiles if not disciplined for three days."
Seeing Gu Muchen's strong reaction, Luo Jiu realized she might have misunderstood and quickly apologized, "Uncle, I'm sorry! You like women! Yes, really."
Yeah, 007 mentioned before that this world has a female lead. So Gu Muchen definitely likes women. What an idiot of a brain!
[Hehe, Master! You finally realize you're a pig-brain!] Zero Zero Seven's mocking voice echoed in my mind.
Gu Muchen's bedroom and study are on the east side, while the west side is usually occupied by guest rooms.
After Luo Jiu escorted Gu Muchen back to his room, she ran to the west side to find Rong Yu, under Gu Muchen's resentful gaze.
"Wait, take the butler with you, he knows the way." Gu Muchen called out to Luo Jiu, who was about to step out the door, with a helpless expression.
"Hehe! Okay, thank you, Imperial Uncle."
...
"Your Majesty, Young Master Rongyu's room and medicine room are both in the bamboo grove ahead, so this old servant will not go there," the steward said.
"Huh? Can't we go in?" Luo Jiu asked, puzzled.
"Young Master Rong specifically instructed me before moving in that he prefers quiet, which is why I specifically sought out this secluded place to stay."
"Alright."
Walking along the path, after only a few turns, I came across a small courtyard.
Rong Yu, dressed in white as always, sat comfortably in his wheelchair. Around him were some unidentified herbs spread out to dry in bamboo baskets. Rong Yu was examining them with his hands, occasionally scooping some up and sniffing them.
It turns out that besides its magnificent grandeur, the Prince's Mansion also had such a tranquil and elegant courtyard, resembling a farmhouse.
As if sensing the gaze coming from afar, Rong Yu looked up and saw Luo Jiu, smiled at her, and slightly cupped her hands in greeting.
