The guests dispersed. In the main hall of Taiqing Palace, only tables filled with dishes were left.

The silent hall looked cold and quiet.

As the main person at the birthday banquet, n.o.ble Consort Qiao was in charge of sending off all the consorts, concubines, and princes at the door.

Empress Du was the last to leave.

She could tell that Gu Yihan was in a bad mood today.

Coupled with the fact that the knot in his heart for many years had finally been resolved.

The emperor must be feeling mixed emotions now.

Gu Yihan had always been temperamental. Although he was much better after having a daughter, Empress Du couldn’t help but worry about n.o.ble Consort Qiao’s situation.

She couldn’t help but say to n.o.ble Consort Qiao, “Yayu, I wanted to stay with you, but I saw that Baby Nuo was already inside just now.”

“I believe that with her around, given that the child is obedient and sensible, she’ll definitely be able to make His Majesty smile. If I stay around, things might get worse with more people around.”

“If there’s any sudden accident, order Wanyin or Wanxuan to go to Fengyi Palace to look for me. If there’s anything, don’t shoulder it yourself.”

In Empress Du’s heart, she had planned very clearly what she should do.

She was the empress, so she should help the emperor resolve his troubles on important matters.

However, an intimate matter like trying to appease Gu Yihan should be left to n.o.ble Consort Qiao.

The two best friends each had their own merits and had always been like this.

n.o.ble Consort Qiao smiled and gave her a rea.s.suring look.

“Elder Sister Yilan, don’t worry. I know how to comfort His Majesty. You’re tired after being out for so long today. Let the palace servants help you back to rest for a while.’

Only then did Empress Du nod.

n.o.ble Consort Qiao only returned to the main hall after watching the Empress leave.

The splendor and noise in the hall disappeared with the departure of the guests.

All that was left was a heavy and dignified aura.

Gu Nuo’er had just arranged where Nanny Luzhu and Ren Chao would go.

At this moment, she was sitting on the dragon and phoenix chair, her head resting on her father’s knee.

As for Gu Yihan, he sat on the dragon throne with his knees apart. He rested his arms on his legs and his head was lowered.

One of his hands was still pressed tightly against his brows.

He seemed to be trying his best to control some fragile emotions.

Gu Nuo’er was very obedient and didn’t say anything. She just quietly accompanied her father.

She believed that he was feeling very complicated now.

After all, many years ago, when Gu Yihan was still very young, he was forced to separate from his biological mother.

Not only that, but at that time, he wished that the entire world would tell him that his mother wanted to kill him to fight for the emperor’s favor.

How could young children have the ability to differentiate between real and fake?

Gu Yihan was sad and lonely for a long time because of this.

Every night when he couldn’t fall asleep, he would toss and turn, thinking.

Was it because he wasn’t outstanding enough that his mother wanted to win the emperor’s favor even at the extent of his life?

If he worked harder and was more amazing, perhaps his mother wouldn’t be able to bear to abandon him.

However, as time pa.s.sed, Gu Yihan’s personality became even more violent, gloomy, and cold.

He had always had doubts in his heart that the late empress, Madam Chi, would harm him.

However, he refused to meet the former empress.

It was as if he was sulking.

However, after the former empress pa.s.sed away, he missed his mother’s embrace countless times.

He recalled many times when the former empress had been accompanying him as he grew up.

In his memory, his mother’s appearance had already become blurry.

However, Gu Yihan never forgot the gentle whisper she left in his ear.

Before the late emperor pa.s.sed away, he also seemed to suspect the truth back then, but he didn’t take the initiative to ask for a thorough investigation. After all, it had been a long time and she had already pa.s.sed away.

The late emperor could only sigh.

After Gu Yihan ascended the throne, he had always been afraid of facing this incident that had happened when he was young.
