Gu Yunran's hand, which wanted to be pulled back, suddenly stopped moving. Lu Qingzhou smiled in his heart. He held it tighter and pulled Gu Yunran to salute together.
"Your Majesty, I greet the Queen!"
"Master Mu!"
Mu Qianchen glanced away indifferently, and moved his eyes away from Lu Qingzhou's hand that was holding Gu Yunranfeng, as if he didn't see Gu Yunran.
Gu Qingyue smiled and said, "Don't be polite, we are not in the palace now. The most important thing is to be happy together as a family at home. Those rules don't apply."
Emperor Jingde doted on her to the core, and as long as she was happy, he really didn't care about those red tape.
Lu Qingzhou stood up, and Gu Yunran followed suit.
Gu Qingyue looked at the two holding hands and smiled even more happily: "Brother-in-law and sister have a really good relationship. They have been holding hands like newlyweds. I envy them."
Lu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Your Majesty."
Gu Yunran pulled back her hand and walked towards Gu Qingyue: "Sister, you are back to visit your parents this time, so you should stay for a few more days."
Gu Yunran stood next to Gu Qingyue, and Mu Qianchen stood on Gu Qingyue's left. Gu Yunran could clearly smell the unique fragrance on him.
"I want to stay for a few more days. Second Mother's illness has just recovered, and I want to stay at home with her more." Gu Qingyue held Gu Yunran's hand, closer than sisters.
"We sisters haven't talked for a long time. I miss you."
Gu Qingyue took Gu Yunran's hand and walked into the hall. Mu Qianchen followed behind without even looking at Gu Yunran. Gu Yunran sneered, "Master Mu follows me so closely. If you don't know, you might think he is my husband."
Gu Qingyue was startled and quickly covered Gu Yunran's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense."
"It would be bad if the emperor heard about this."
Gu Yunran nodded: "I was wrong."
"I just speak my mind. Since Lord Mu is a minister, he should know to keep his distance instead of following so closely."
"To prevent some crazy talk from spreading."
Mu Qianchen didn't seem to care at all. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Yunran: "My affairs don't seem to have anything to do with Madam Lu."
Gu Yunran snorted, "That's because Lord Mu is notorious, shameless, and not afraid of the emperor. That has nothing to do with me. I'm just worried that my second cousin will be dragged down by you."
For a moment, the hall was silent.
Qianli stood outside, sweating coldly. He was worried about Gu Yunran. Gu Qingyue pulled Gu Yunran's sleeve with a worried look on her face and said in a low voice:
"Don't contradict Master Mu."
Mu Qianchen is ruthless and powerful, and even the emperor is wary of him. No one has ever dared to speak to him like this.
She was worried that Mu Qianchen would strangle Gu Yunran to death.
Lu Qingzhou was so frightened that his mouth opened wide. He glared at Gu Yunran reproachfully: "Gu Yunran, if you want to die yourself, don't drag me down with you."
Gu Yunran pursed her lips, feeling that she had gone a bit too far, but the words had already been spoken, and she couldn't admit defeat.
He gritted his teeth and added, "I'm just kindly reminding Master Mu that when you do things, don't just think about your own happiness, but think about others."
Qianli's scalp tingled. Is Miss Gu seeking death?
Mu Qianchen's face was horribly gloomy: "You are very brave, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Gu Yunran: "I'm afraid. Master Gu, killing a person is as easy as crushing an ant. In Master Gu's eyes, human life is like grass. Master Gu can kill as he pleases."
Gu Yunran closed her eyes.
Mu Qianchen suddenly had a small dagger in his hand, shining with a cold light.
Gu Qingyue was startled. Before she could say anything, Mu Qianchen left after saying a few words.
"For the Prime Minister's sake, I'll spare you this time."
Lu Qingzhou collapsed to the ground. He looked at Gu Yunran reproachfully, "I'm afraid our Lu family will have a hard time in the future. You shouldn't have provoked him."
Gu Yunran was also startled. After she came to her senses, she found that her back was wet with sweat. Then she remembered that she had come to discuss something with Mu Qianchen.
What should I do if I make him angry now?
Lu Qingzhou's complaints were still buzzing in his ears. Gu Yunran was furious and cursed, "Coward!"
After Gu Qingyue reacted, she looked at Gu Yunran with an obscure look, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Sister, I'm going to see mother."
"Go ahead."
Gu Qingyue didn't want to go with Gu Yunran to see Mrs. Gu at this moment. After Gu Yunran left, she also left.
Lanting Pavilion in the backyard of Gu Mansion.
Mu Qianchen's tall figure stood there, and his back looked lonely and desolate.
"Master Mu."
Gu Qingyue walked over and called out quietly.
Mu Qianchen didn't turn around, but turned his back to Gu Qingyue and asked, "Empress, is there something wrong?"
"I'm here to thank Master Mu on behalf of my sister. I'm not blaming my sister."
"Need not."
Gu Qingyue pursed her lips, raised her head and secretly looked at Mu Qianchen's profile, "Why has Lord Mu always been so indifferent to me?"
"I······"
Mu Qianchen then turned around and glanced at Gu Qingyue, his face filled with suppressed anger: "Miss Gu, my patience is limited."
"You begged the Emperor to let me escort you. I don't know what your intentions are."
"If it weren't for the brotherhood between the Emperor and me, you wouldn't be alive today."
Gu Qingyue's eyes suddenly turned red, and her heart was bleeding: "Master Mu is still angry with me about that incident, right?"
"If you hadn't married the emperor, do you think you would still be alive today?" Mu Qianchen said coldly, "You cheated me back then. When the emperor gets tired of you, I'll settle the score with you."
