Even so, Fei Wan did not feel too nervous, as she did not sense any ill will from that person.
She stood up and looked at the person who came in the faint moonlight.
But before their eyes could meet, the hall was illuminated by a flame.
The man's cold profile was softened a little by the interweaving of moonlight and the slightly warm light.
"My dear? Why are you here?"
Gu Ruozhao curled the corners of his lips and lit the lamp on the table.
"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for disturbing you so late at night."
There was only one lamp lit in the hall, and the light from the candle in the lamp did not illuminate the pages of the book very brightly.
He looked at the tinder in his hand and thought for a moment, then lit the rest of the lamps for Fei Wan until the hall was bright.
He blew out the fire stick and said with a smile, "I observed the stars tonight and found that Your Majesty was troubled by something. I wanted to relieve Your Majesty's worries, so I came to the palace on purpose."
Watch the stars at night?
Fei Wanchao looked out the window. Because it had rained before nightfall, the stars had long been covered by clouds. How could he see even a trace of a star?
At this point, Fei Wan knew exactly what was going on.
Fei Wanchao shouted outside the hall.
“Wutong!”
Wutong's voice came in: "This servant is here. What are your majesty's instructions?"
Fei Wan was helpless.
"Wutong, you are becoming more and more courageous."
The people outside the palace were silent for a long moment, not directly answering the question: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's entry into the palace is extremely secretive and will not be known to others. I have asked the others to withdraw. You may discuss matters with the Prime Minister without worry."
Forget it, she doesn't care about Wutong.
What's more, Fei Wan had recently promised Gu Ruozhao the right to enter the palace without notifying him.
She gave Gu Ruozhao enough trust. If it were someone else, she would definitely not do the same, but for Gu Ruozhao, she could trust him completely.
According to Wutong's personality, if it were not for this reason, Wutong would not have gone to find Gu Ruozhao.
Fei Wan then looked at Gu Ruozhao and asked knowingly, "I didn't know that you, my dear, actually have the ability to observe the stars at night?"
Gu Ruozhao didn't seem embarrassed by being exposed. Instead, he lowered his eyelashes and chuckled, "Your Majesty, don't you know now?"
Fei Wan became interested and teased him:
"Then, can you tell from this how long my kingdom can last?"
If you ask others this sensitive question, most of them would not dare to answer it, and even if they did, the answer would be something like "forever and ever".
There was a hint of surprise in Gu Ruozhao's eyes, as if he had not expected her to ask that.
Gu Ruozhao thought seriously: "In my opinion, if Your Majesty does not indulge in beauty and works diligently for the people, then in the long run, you will be able to keep your country safe."
Indulge in beauty... ?
Work diligently for the people… ?
Fei Wan did not appear to have done so in the past few days, but she vaguely noticed that Gu Ruozhao seemed to pause on the four words "indulge in beauty".
Could it be that Wutong said something...!?
Although Fei Wan didn't really do anything, she was afraid that he would mistakenly think... that she really did something.
She had dismissed everyone when she went to look for Ling Wu, and even Wu Tong wasn't around. This seemed suspicious.
"My dear, please wait and see. I have never been obsessed with beauty and will certainly be diligent in serving the people."
For Fei Wan, indulging in beauty does not exist, unless Gu Ruozhao seduces her.
Fei Wan started to daydream and was shocked to realize that his thoughts had deviated to this direction.
She returned to the table and picked up the books to cover herself.
Gu Ruozhao noticed Fei Wan's actions. He curved his lips into a smile and asked, "Your Majesty, what is troubling you? If it is related to the Gu family, I will tell you everything I know."
