Su Yan also realized the ambiguity in her words and explained awkwardly, “I didn’t mean it that way. Your body has just been detoxified. Quickly put me down.”

Gu Ruoyun saw that Su Yan was struggling a lot, so he put her down. He stated his conditions, “I’ll put you down. You move in from tonight onwards.”

Su Yan’s first reaction was no.

Gu Ruoyun’s face fell and his body fell back weakly.

Su Yan supported him in a panic. Gu Ruoyun placed all his weight on Su Yan’s body and Su Yan bent over from the weight.

Gu Ruoyun said pitifully, “My poor body is so weak but no one wants to take care of me, even my Princess Consort dislikes me.”

Su Yan quickly explained, “I don’t dislike you.”

Gu Ruoyun continued, “Then why aren’t you willing to move in? You just dislike me.”

His tone was full of accusations, which made Su Yan’s heart soften.

“Alright, alright, I’ll move in.”

Gu Ruoyun opened one of his eyes and looked at Su Yan. He smiled.

He straightened his body and pulled Su Yan towards the bed.

Su Yan’s face was filled with confusion.

It was not until the man had pulled her onto the bed, pulled her into his arms, and covered her with the blanket that Su Yan vaguely realized something.

“Gu Ruoyun, were you lying to me just now?”

Gu Ruoyun almost laughed out loud when he heard Su Yan’s soft tone even when she was questioning him.

Why is this girl so cute?

He had a sly look on his face, but his tone sounded as if he was wronged, “It’s all because you gave me strength, my lady. Don’t think too much. Sleep early, good girl.”

Su Yan felt that something was wrong, but she could not tell what was wrong. She was brought to sleep by Gu Ruoyun in a daze.

Gu Ruoyun kissed Su Yan on the forehead, closed his eyes, and fell asleep as well.

…

Ever since Gu Lingyu received Su Yan’s reply, he had been very excited.

Recently, there had been an increasing number of people who supported him in the Imperial Court. He was only one step away. 

Now that Gu Ruoyun is dead, I want to see what else Guang Pingwang’s group of loyal and stubborn old fogies have to say.

Gu Lingyu held a private meeting that very night.

“Lingyu, you’re leaving as soon as you’ve returned.” Su Qiao helped Gu Lingyu tidy up his collar and complained.

Gu Lingyu hadn’t slept for the whole night but he did not feel tired. As long as he thought about what he had to do today, he felt radiant.

He gently scratched Su Qiao’s nose, “I have something important to do. I’ll accompany you properly when I’m done.”

Su Qiao could tell that Gu Lingyu was in a good mood, so she quickly said, “I’m just worried about your health.”

Gu Lingyu was delighted by Su Qiao’s gentleness, and the smile on his face grew wider.

Su Qiao seized the opportunity to say, “Lingyu, after some time, I’m going to attend a flower tea party, but those young misses look down on me. I’m worried that I’ll disgrace the Gu Family, so I want to buy a set of jewelry.”

Gu Lingyu, who was bursting with pride, waved his hand and agreed.

Su Qiao’s smile became more and more gentle.

After sending Gu Lingyu off, Su Qiao thought of the set of jewelry that she had taken a fancy to recently, and her mood became better.

Ever since Su Yan took back all the jewelry, she had never had any decent jewelry. After marrying Gu Lingyu, her predicament did not improve.

Gu Lingyu stood in the Imperial Court in high spirits.

Gu Lingyu, who could only stand at the edge of the court in the past, was standing in the middle of the entire Imperial Court this time.

The Emperor sat on the throne majestically and righteously. His eyes, which were engraved with the marks of time, were filled with amusement.

No matter how much the people below him caused a commotion, he would always be the one to profit in the end.

Recently, without Gu Ruoyun, pressing down on him like a huge mountain, the Emperor, who was almost 50 years old, had experienced the long-lost vigor of youth.

Gu Lingyu stood in front of all the officials and cupped his hands towards the Emperor.

“Long live the Emperor.”

The Emperor spoke, “Rise, Dear Subject Gu, what do you have to report?”
