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

“I won’t 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 Rong’er 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 Yunrong’s 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 didn’t break free from him, Chu You felt relieved. Only then did he pull her into his arms and put her face against his chest.

“We’ll be fine, Rong’er,” 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 Ce’s case again.”

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

“No one in the world will allow him to do this!” Chu You’s tone was cold as he said firmly, “He’s risking the world’s condemnation.”

That day, after they parted ways at Tianyin Pavilion, Jianwei General Wang 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 Emperor’s 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 Ce’s case, lost the morale of the army, and lost the heart of an official, even if he was the Emperor’s 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, “Don’t worry, Rong’er. Chu Yi can’t cause much trouble.”

“But the students seem to have wavered…” Gu Yunrong nervously grabbed the front of Chu You’s shirt 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 You’s 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 You’s eyes were gloomy, and he felt as frustrated as a cat. However, he still comforted Gu Yunrong gently. “Don’t worry, it’ll 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 Prince’s Mansion, like a large area of fireflies shining brightly, illuminating the entire Prince’s Mansion.

“Rong’er.” Chu You held Gu Yunrong’s hand and said gently, “I’ve recently renovated the prince’s residence. Since you’re here, come with me to take a look around. Is there anywhere else to change?”

He stared intently at Gu Yunrong’s 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?”

“You’ll know when we get there.” Chu You held her hand and walked forward.

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

Gu Yunrong had been to the prince’s residence several times in the past. She could tell where the garden had been repaired even without Chu You’s 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…
