When Gu Yihan heard this, he was silent for a moment as if he was waiting for Grand Consort Yu’s next words.

Grand Consort Yu also fell silent.

Only then did he raise his eyebrows and ask impatiently, “That’s it? Just this?”

Grand Consort Yu was stunned for a moment before replying, “Yes…”

What was with His Majesty’s tone?

Wasn’t this matter big enough?

If the heirloom seal was lost…

How could he face the Gu Family’s ancestors?!

“I understand. Send it to the imperial study another day. You can leave.” What surprised Grand Consort Yu was that Gu Yihan dismissed her with a casual sentence.

“Your Majesty, the key to this private treasury is of extreme importance… You…” Grand Consort Yu said indignantly.

Gu Yihan was completely disgusted and said, “Don’t I know better than the Grand Consort? Didn’t you find it? What else is there to say?”

Grand Consort Yu was speechless!

Gu Yihan couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on her. He held Noble Consort Qiao’s hand and walked away.

Grand Consort Yu stood on the spot and looked at Gu Yihan’s figure, gritting her teeth in hatred.

This ingrate!

Did he forget that when the late Empress passed away, the consorts in the palace were unwilling to nurture him with all their heart? It was her! She had kindly brought him to her side.

She had done it for his own selfishness.

However, she had raised him for a few years.

How could Gu Yihan be so unfilial?

Grand Consort Yu wished she could grit her teeth.

“You don’t care? Alright, just wait! There are plenty of people in the imperial court who care!”

She didn’t believe that those old officials in the imperial court would still be able to sit still after the news that His Majesty had almost lost the key to the private treasury and almost caused the heirloom seal to disappear spread!

Noble Consort Qiao turned around and saw that Grand Consort Yu’s figure was already far away and out of sight.

Only then did she retract her hand and bow to Gu Yihan.

Just now, she was at ease in front of Grand Consort Yu and could advance and retreat appropriately.

However, the undisguised panic on her face now was all for her daughter.

Gu Nuo’er had accidentally lost the key. It was her dereliction of duty as a mother.

Noble Consort Qiao took the initiative to apologize and said, “Your Majesty, Nuo’er is still young. It wasn’t her intention to lose the key.

“Your consort also knows that Grand Consort Yu and Prince Guang are difficult to deal with. If they push the officials to gossip together and force you to punish Nuo’er…

“At that time, Your Majesty, please spare Nuo’er on account of her young age. Your consort is willing to bear the sin on behalf of my daughter and take the punishment for her.”

Gu Yihan raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled.

“Noble Consort, we’ve been husband and wife for many years. Is this how you think of me?”

Noble Consort Qiao looked up in confusion.

Gu Yihan’s eyes were dark with a hint of self-satisfaction.

He slowly said, “Let the people in the court say whatever they want. Some old officials might not be helping Prince Guang, but they like to jump to conclusions from insignificant evidence.

“But what has it got to do with me? Why should I care about what they say? Are they the emperor or am I the emperor?

“Moreover, punish Nuo’er? Don’t even think about it! If anyone dares to mention it, I’ll definitely cut off their head first.’ Gu Yihan held Noble Consort Qiao’s hand again.

He brought her to stroll around the garden.

“Noble Consort, don’t worry. Those officials in the imperial court know how to read people’s expressions and are smarter than you. All of them have known from long ago that Nuo’er is my bottom line, no one would dare to mention it unless they are deliberately courting death.”

When Noble Consort Qiao heard him say this, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Gu Yihan suddenly pretended to be serious and said in a deep voice, “But I just heard you mention the late Empress.” Alarm bells rang in Noble Consort Qiao’s mind.

Although Gu Yihan wouldn’t blame Gu Nuo’er,

However, he had always blamed his biological mother for abandoning him.

This matter was a taboo for him and no one was allowed to mention it..
