Granny Zeng nodded with a smile, "That's a good idea. I'll personally go and arrange the side hall in a little while."
"Hmm." The Empress Dowager nodded. She had made up her mind that the two of them must consummate their marriage this time, so that she could put her mind at ease.
The two walked further and further away until their voices disappeared, at which point Gu Heng and Wen Ruyi came to their senses.
A look of surprise flashed across the former's eyes.
The Imperial Uncle and Wen Nong Nong have been married for so long, yet they haven't consummated their marriage?
He found it somewhat unbelievable.
The latter clutched her handkerchief tightly. It turned out that Gu Linchao was not as good to Wen Nongnong as he appeared.
The two haven't consummated their marriage yet, so it seems Gu Linchao doesn't really like Wen Nongnong.
Thinking about this made her feel a little better.
She said it herself: it's impossible for everyone to like a good-for-nothing like Wen Nongnong.
Gu Linchao isn't blind, why would he be interested in someone like her?
She felt a sense of satisfaction, but on the surface she asked with suspicion, "The Regent and my third sister haven't consummated their marriage yet, what's going on?"
Gu Heng collected his thoughts and said calmly, "How would I know?"
Wen Ruyi continued, "Could it be that the Regent simply doesn't like Third Sister? After all, their marriage was due to the Empress Dowager's decree."
Gu Heng glanced at her, not understanding why she would think that way.
Compared to others, he knew Gu Linchao quite well.
If he didn't like Wen Nongnong, he wouldn't have allowed her to get close at all.
The two were so intimate at the Regent's Palace last time; it was clear that the Imperial Uncle was very fond of Wen Nongnong.
As a man, how could he not see the obvious tenderness in his uncle's eyes when he looked at Wen Nong Nong?
He might have been surprised by any other woman, but after seeing Wen Nongnong in person that day, he felt that it was not surprising that such a woman could attract the Imperial Uncle.
Even he couldn't help but be attracted to it.
That was one thing before, but now he discovered that the two of them had not consummated their marriage...
He narrowed his eyes, a plan forming in his mind.
The Imperial Uncle is almost perfect, without any flaws, but now he has a weakness, and that weakness is Wen Nong Nong.
If he were asked to exchange his military tally for Wen Nong Nong, would he be willing?
A sinister glint flashed in Gu Heng's eyes. He had no more interest in accompanying Wen Ruyi to stroll through the Imperial Garden. After sending someone to take her back, he went straight back to the Imperial Study.
A short while later, a young boy followed Hao Fulu in.
If Wen Nongnong were here, she would surely be surprised to see this person.
"Si Luo greets Your Majesty."
The boy stepped forward and bowed.
Gu Heng's expression softened slightly. "There's no one else here, no need for formalities."
Si Luo smiled and straightened up.
Although they were ruler and subject, they had a very close friendship in private.
He was selected to enter the palace at a young age and became the emperor's companion. However, in the past two years, he has entered the palace less often due to health reasons, but his private interactions have not decreased.
He asked directly, "Your Majesty has suddenly summoned me to the palace. Is there something important?"
Gu Heng said, "Si Luo, your lightness skill is second to none in Daye, and almost no one can compare with you."
Si Luo sighed, "Your Majesty, please don't belittle me. I know my own limitations." He paused, then continued, "I wonder what Your Majesty wishes to have me do?"
Gu Heng paused for a moment, then said, "I need you to fetch something for me."
"What is it?" Si Luo asked, puzzled. In all the time they had known each other, he had rarely seen Gu Heng entrust him with tasks so solemnly.
