The guests dispersed, and finally only a table full of dishes remained in the main hall of Taiqing Palace.
The silent palace seemed cold and desolate.
As the main host of the birthday party, Concubine Qiao was responsible for seeing off all the concubines and princes at the door.
Queen Du was the last to leave.
She could see that Gu Yihan was in a bad mood today.
In addition, many years of heart knots were finally solved.
The emperor must be in a mixed mood at the moment.
Gu Yihan's temper has always been unstable. Although it got better after having a daughter, Empress Du was inevitably worried about Concubine Qiao's situation.
She couldn't help but said to Concubine Qiao: "Yayu, I wanted to stay with you, but just now I saw that Nuobao was already inside."
"I believe that with her here, the little guy will be well-behaved and sensible, and will definitely make the emperor smile. If I stay nearby, it will not be good if there are too many people."
"If there is any sudden accident, please ask Wanyin or Wanxuan to go to Fengyi Palace to find me. Don't carry it yourself."
Queen Du had clearly planned what she should do.
As a queen, she should solve the emperor's problems on important matters.
But such intimate matters as undressing Gu Yihan should be left to Concubine Qiao.
Two best friends, each with his own merits, has always been like this.
Concubine Qiao smiled and gave her a reassuring look.
"Sister Yilan, don't worry. I know how to appease His Majesty. You are tired after being out for so long today. Let the palace staff help you go back and have a good rest."
Queen Du nodded.
After watching the queen leave, Concubine Qiao returned to the main hall.
The splendor and bustle of the palace disappeared as the guests left.
All that is left is the deep majesty.
Gu Nuoer has just arranged where Aunt Luzhu and Ren Chao will go.
She was currently sitting on the dragon and phoenix chair, with her little head resting on her father's knees.
Gu Yihan sat in the dragon chair with his knees spread apart. He put his arms on his legs and lowered his head.
One hand was still pressing his brow tightly.
It seems like he is trying hard to control some fragile emotions.
Gu Nuo'er was very obedient. She didn't say anything and just stayed with her father quietly.
I believe he is in a very complicated mood now.
After all, Gu Yihan was forced to separate from his biological mother many years ago when he was very young.
Not only that, at that time, he wished that everyone in the world would tell him: Your mother is going to kill you to fight for her favor.
How do young children have the ability to distinguish between true and false?
Gu Yihan felt sad and lonely for a long time.
Every night when he couldn't sleep, he thought about it over and over again.
Is it because he is not good enough or outstanding enough, so the mother doesn't care about his life and still wants to dote on him.
If he worked harder and was more powerful, maybe the queen mother would not be willing to let go of him.
But as time went by, Gu Yihan's character became more and more violent and cold.
Although he always had doubts deep down in his heart, the late Empress Chi would harm him.
However, he has always refused to see the late queen.
As if he was angry.
But after the late queen passed away, he missed his mother's arms countless times.
He thought of many moments when the late empress had been accompanying him as he grew up.
In my memory, my mother's appearance has been blurred.
But Gu Yihan has never forgotten the gentle whisper she left in his ear.
Before his death, the late emperor seemed to have suspected the truth, but he did not take the initiative to ask for a thorough investigation.
After all, it has been a long time and this person has passed away.
The late emperor could only sigh with emotion.
After Gu Yihan ascended the throne, he had been afraid of facing what happened in his childhood.
That was the shadowy abyss in his heart and the beginning of all his violent behavior.
