Chapter 116 Feelings Unfathomable, Deepening
Half an hour later, Gu Lan settled his thoughts and went to sleep. Knowing a world-shaking secret that everyone desired was undoubtedly thrilling, but Gu Lan didn't make too much of it.
After all, the Dragon Clan had little connection to him. If he developed favorable feelings towards the Dragon Clan in the future, perhaps he could share it with them. Everything would follow his own preferences.
Having resolved all the mysteries he could, what Gu Lan wanted to do most now was to rest well and hurry home to see his wife.
A day without seeing her felt like three years.
Almost falling into nothingness and unable to return, Gu Lan didn't dare to tell Mu Yuyan about this yearning.
But just thinking that he would see his wife tomorrow, Gu Lan was already somewhat excited and restless!
...
The next day, early in the morning, Liu Yexi carried a bowl of porridge and carefully went to the female Emperor's sleeping palace, wanting to check if the female Emperor had awakened. However, she saw only Xiao Fei'er sleeping soundly on the dragon bed.
"Get up!"
Liu Yexi, not seeing Mu Yuyan, was shocked inwardly and kicked her best friend awake.
Xiao Fei'er was stunned, her beautiful eyes wandering around in confusion. Not seeing Mu Yuyan on the dragon bed, she immediately woke up.
"Sister Xi, I couldn't hold on last night... I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Xiao Fei'er, also worried and blaming herself, teary-eyed, apologized.
"Hurry, go find Her Majesty. What's the use of apologizing now?"
Liu Yexi was anxious, afraid that the female Emperor would do something foolish, and quickly led Xiao Fei'er out.
Fortunately, they soon found the female Emperor's figure in the imperial garden.
Mu Yuyan didn't let anyone follow her and walked alone on the stone path still wet from last night's rain. She wore simple clothes, and her elegant temperament, mixed with a completely contrary sense of delicacy, revealed a deep melancholy. She gazed absentmindedly at the ripples in the pond.
"The matters concerning the Lord have seemingly drained all Her Majesty's strength..."
Liu Yexi sighed softly.
"Ah! I knew men weren't any good. If I had known, I wouldn't have listened to the old Director of Astrology. It would have been so much better if Her Majesty had stayed in the palace!"
Xiao Fei'er pitied the female Emperor and spoke irritably.
"Shut up!"
Liu Yexi warned her with a glance.
"The master's position in Her Majesty's heart far exceeds your imagination. Besides, with such nonsense, be careful I'll beat you!"
Xiao Fei'er shrank her head and quickly fell silent.
In fact, Gu Lan's position far exceeded their imagination.
Even Mu Yuyan herself hadn't expected that she would unknowingly become so attached to Gu Lan since their encounter at that temple fair, feelings arising without her awareness, and deepening with each passing day.
Mu Yuyan had never thought that the two of them would be separated one day, nor had she expected the heart-wrenching pain she would feel on such a day.
She had never expected that, as an emperor, she wouldn't be overwhelmed by national affairs, but nearly lost her life in the turns of fate in the mortal world!
Zhongren had never seen her with such an expression before.
"Thinking about someone."
Lin Tan'er felt that he was just a kid, so she didn't mince her words.
"Oh? A man or a woman?"
Seeing her face getting redder, Zhongren knew that this matter was not simple. The gossip fire within him suddenly burned fiercely!
Could it be that Sister Tan'er doesn't intend to be a concubine for Big Brother Gu? Did she really find her ideal person in this secret realm trip?
"A man... Why would I think about a woman?"
With a red face, Lin Tan'er rolled her eyes and asked back. Was it something a normal girl would say so directly?
Gu Lan thought that her memory had not fully recovered yet, and he needed to increase the dosage of the medicine!
However, the fact that Tan'er found a talented and handsome young man was a source of joy.
At least, it provided an explanation to Lin Lu, Brother Lin, who had concerns.
Gu Lan continued to listen intently.
"Who is it?"
"Oh, it's someone I met by chance... The gap between us is too big. Our only interaction was sharing the same roasted rabbit on the first day!"
Lin Tan'er murmured.
Gu Lan: !!!
After circling around, did it come back to him?
Zhongren knew nothing and, with preconceived notions, excluded Gu Lan. Shocked, he exclaimed, "Just a roasted rabbit made Sister fall for him?"
Lin Tan'er shook her head. She was not such a casual person. She just felt a familiar sense from that person, similar to the admiration she felt towards Gu Lan. Since the Lord was already married, she decided to cut off any romantic thoughts.
"Let's settle the Lord's debt first, haha!"
Lin Tan'er smiled, shrugged, and gave an honest answer.
"Sister must handle marriage matters! I support you!"
Zhongren cheered her on.
"Status difference is not a problem. As long as he has ambition, we won't look down on him!"
Gu Lan: ...
Lin Tan'er: ...
After saying so much, did you misunderstand the status difference?
Lin Tan'er suddenly felt tired explaining, gave him a helpless look, and stopped talking. Actually, it's not surprising that the young Daoist would think this way.
After all, with Lin Tan'er's status as the Heavenly Maiden of Fate, apart from Gu Lan, all other men were considered high-status?
