Duan Chengxuan smiled lightly. ”After all, I was the one who let you down that time.”

Hearing such apologetic words, Gu Pingyan couldn't help but feel slightly relieved, and he turned his head away impatiently.

It seemed that Duan Chengxuan's feelings towards her were more of guilt, but she himself was clear about the love in his heart. Perhaps it was the remnants of love within this body, or perhaps it was only a long time ago that she discovered that there were people in this world who understood his so well.

However, Duan Chengxuan only had the word 'apology' for her.

Thinking up to here, she blamed herself even more for being disappointing. She clearly said that she wanted to put it down and leave, but when she really stayed by Duan Chengxuan's side, all of her thoughts vanished into nothingness.

For example, now, Duan Chengxuan's fingertips touched the corners of her eyes as he said in a low voice, ”Qing Qing is extremely cute.”

Gu Liuyan's body froze. She didn't want to look back.

”When will we have our own children?” Duan Chengxuan's voice even carried a sense of anticipation.

However, Gu Daiyan had to admit that while he was disgusted, his heart also pounded a little.

”I'll take a nap first.” Sense of reason caused Gu Daiyan to lightly pull away Duan Chengxuan's hand and shrink into a corner with his eyes closed. He could hear the sound of the wind outside the carriage without end.

It was unknown how much time had passed before she heard her father-in-law's voice. After that, Duan Chengxuan woke her up and the two of them walked towards the empress dowager's palace.

Right now, the empress dowager's palace was next to the temple of the imperial palace, and the voice of the scripture was still lingering around her ears. The empress dowager knew that Gu Pingyan's health was not good and quickly bestowed her a seat, then she glared at Duan Chengxuan and said, ”Seriously, why aren't you taking good care of Yan'er?”

”It is my fault.” Duan Chengxuan continued to hold Gu Daiyan's hand.

Gu Meiyan had already been here many times. Ever since the suicidal incident, she and the empress dowager had always kept a distance from each other, but the empress still treated her extremely well. The two of them really seemed like family.

”Senior Servant Gui, invite the two imperial physicians over to take a look at the wangfei's pulse.”

”Majesty, I am a doctor myself.” Gu Danyan quickly opened his mouth to speak, but Senior Servant Gui quickly instructed the two eunuchs beside her.

The empress dowager's face was filled with disapproval as her gaze turned a little cold. ”But I don't see you taking care of your body either.”

The corners of Duan Chengxuan's mouth curled up as he looked at her and continued, ”I've already agreed to another happy occasion with Yan'er, and I feel that it's not bad. After all, Gu Cheng has been held accountable, and someone in the Imperial Court will always say that the character of his wife is improper and difficult to handle. In that case, it'll be better to keep everyone in suspense.”

”This one thinks it's not bad too, but such a happy occasion has never happened in my dynasty. Have you thought of a way to explain yourself?” The empress dowager knitted her brows slightly as Senior Servant Gui placed a bowl of Snow Toad Soup into Gu Daiyan's hands.

Gu Liuyan acted like it was none of his business as he pulled his hand out and started to eat the Snow Toad Soup silently.

”I've thought it through. I'll just say that the Royal Concubine is a descendant of the Yun Family to marry into the Prince's Mansion as a consolation for slandering the Yun Family. Whether for the Royal Family or the Yun Family, this is a good excuse.”

”This isn't bad either. A good date has been set.” Her Majesty smiled.

”Next month is an auspicious day. Although the gongs and drums are no longer needed, the basic etiquette cannot be wrong.” After Duan Cheng Xuan finished speaking, she turned around to look at Gu Daiyan.
