The two of us will live our own lives outside the palace, okay?

I wont let you suffer!

Empress Dowager Yuan must live in the palace, not with them.

In the future, if he could ascend to that position, his Ronger would be the empress. The empress was the mother of the country, not an ordinary daughter-in-law. The empress dowager would no longer be able to humiliate her like she had done that day.

As he spoke, his scorching breath landed on Gu Yunrongs right cheek and ear, making Gu Yunrong tremble.

She looked up at his handsome face, her eyes filled with tenderness. The anger she had held back for many days finally dissipated.

The empress dowager was his biological mother after all. It was already difficult for him to do this for her.

Seeing that Gu Yunrong didnt break free from him, Chu You felt relieved. Only then did he pull her into his arms and put her face against his chest.

Well be fine, Ronger, Chu You said sincerely.

Gu Yunrong listened to his strong heartbeat and hummed softly. Her body gradually softened.

After a while, Gu Yunrong said, Your Highness, the Eldest Prince wants to investigate Gu Ces case again.

In the next moment, his chest that was pressed against hers rose and fell, and a contemptuous laugh came from the mans broad chest.

No one in the world will allow him to do this! Chu Yous tone was cold as he said firmly, Hes risking the worlds condemnation.

That day, after they parted ways at Tianyin Pavilion, Jianwei General w.a.n.g Nan impeached the Eldest Prince to pay respects to Gu Ce at Wuliang Temple. This matter shocked the royal court.

After that, the impeachment memorials were even piled up in front of the Emperor. If not for the Emperors strong protection, Chu Yi, the prince, would probably have already left the morning court dejected!

Stupid. Chu Yi was really stupid.

His good brother had finally won a chance for Chu Yi to go to court. It had only been a few months, but Chu Yi insisted on courting death!

Now that he was in the midst of enrollment, the students arrived in the capital one after another. If Chu Yi dared to say that he wanted to seek justice for Gu Ce again, those students would condemn him. Then, Chu Yi would no longer have any prestige in the scholars forest.

If Chu Yi lost the hearts of the people because of Gu Ces case, lost the morale of the army, and lost the heart of an official, even if he was the Emperors only son, there would be no possibility of him being appointed as the crown prince.

Chu You told her about some of the controversies in court recently. In the end, he smiled and said, Dont worry, Ronger. Chu Yi cant cause much trouble.

But the students seem to have wavered Gu Yunrong nervously grabbed the front of Chu Yous s.h.i.+rt and quickly told him what had happened to the Hua family, including the 10,000 people who had disappeared from the State of Yue army and the matter of going up the mountain.

Chu Yous expression gradually became serious, and he frowned slightly.

It turned out that when Chu Yi returned from the State of Yue, he had gone to Tailing City and Shanling This good nephew of his really knew how to hide!

Chu Yous eyes were gloomy, and he felt as frustrated as a cat. However, he still comforted Gu Yunrong gently. Dont worry, itll be fine.

He let go of Gu Yunrong and took a step back. Then, he clapped twice.

A servant immediately came over when he heard the sound. He heard Chu You instruct indifferently, Go to the Myriad Herb Hall and take a look at the situation.

Yes, Your Highness. The servant cupped his fists and left in a hurry.

The evening sky was dark. Lanterns had already been lit everywhere in the Princes Mansion, like a large area of fireflies s.h.i.+ning brightly, illuminating the entire Princes Mansion.

Ronger. Chu You held Gu Yunrongs hand and said gently, Ive recently renovated the princes residence. Since youre here, come with me to take a look around. Is there anywhere else to change?

He stared intently at Gu Yunrongs small face and asked carefully.

It was getting late. Gu Yunrong wanted to leave after talking about Gu Ce, but her heart softened now.

She pursed her lips and smiled with shallow dimples. In the end, she nodded and agreed. Where are you taking me?

Youll know when we get there. Chu You held her hand and walked forward.

The two of them went to the garden of the princes residence. The garden at dusk had a cool night scene.

Gu Yunrong had been to the princes residence several times in the past. She could tell where the garden had been repaired even without Chu Yous introduction. There was a winding wisteria corridor beside the greenhouse, a swing under an old tree, and half a lotus leaf planted on the small lake on the northwest side of the garden.. There was even a water pavilion
