What surprised Good was that Feng Xiao seemed to be a little different. Logically speaking, people who were afflicted with Gu would be in an unhealthy state. Whether it was their complexion or their gaze, they would all be abnormal. Adults would be like this, let alone infants.
Children had weak resistance to begin with, and after being poisoned, their endurance would be even worse. He had seen children who had been afflicted with Gu before. They were all emaciated, weak, listless, or even crying non-stop. However, these conditions did not appear on Feng Xiao. Moreover, with just a glance, Good could tell that this child was fair and chubby, tender, and adorable. Was he really afflicted with Gu?
Good had his doubts, but he did not show them on his face as they were at Mingyue Cheng's wedding banquet.
The hall was bustling with noise and excitement. Mingyue Cheng had a faint smile on his lips, making him look exceptionally mysterious under the mottled lights. Although he was looking at the singing and dancing on the stage, he kept looking at Feng Qi Qi out of the corner of his eyes.
After not seeing her for a long time, she had become even more beautiful. Her smile and frown exuded a natural elegance. Even if she was just sitting there quietly, it was still the most beautiful scene on the stage.
However, she already had him by her side, and this was something that Mingyue Cheng could never replace. In this life, they were not fated to be together!
Even if Mingyue Cheng really hoped that time would stop at this moment, beautiful times always passed quickly. After the banquet, he had to go to Green Luan Palace.
Before leaving, Mingyue Cheng gave Feng Qi Qi a deep look, as if he wanted to imprint her smile into his heart.
"Set off for Green Luan Palace …"
Fuller's voice rang out. Mingyue Cheng seemed to hear a drawn-out sigh in the air. He raised his head, but there was no one in sight. Only a gentle breeze brushed past his ears. Could it be that even the wind pitied his sorrow, which was why it let out such a drawn-out sigh?
Inside Green Luan Palace, Gu Yunyao wore an orange-red wedding dress as she sat quietly in her room.
Through the red gauze, Gu Yunyao could vaguely see the decorations in the room. Because she was Consort Jin, not the empress, she could not wear bright red. Even for the wedding, she would only wear orange-red. However, in Gu Yunyao's heart, this was enough. This marriage was originally a show for others to see, it was fake, so there was no need to care about these things.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the sound of "His Majesty has arrived!" reached Gu Yunyao's ears. The palace maids in the room quickly walked to the door and knelt down, shouting "Long live the emperor". Mingyue Cheng didn't say anything superfluous. He just said, "Rise," and had them leave, leaving only Fuller behind.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Yes! Take off your veil and eat something. You must be starving. "
Mingyue Cheng did not lift the veil for Gu Yunyao. Instead, he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
In Mingyue Cheng's heart, he stubbornly insisted that only one person had their own heart. Since he had given his heart to Feng Qiqi, there was no way he would allow anyone else to have it. Now, marrying a concubine was just his obligation to the country, not his own wish. He would not really bow to heaven and earth and drink nuptial wine with Gu Yunyao, let alone have a wedding night.
Gu Yunyao took off her veil, arrived in front of Mingyue Cheng, and greeted him.
"Sit!"
After Gu Yunyao sat down, Fuller walked to the bedside, took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and poured the liquid inside on the white satin.
Seeing Fuller do this, Gu Yunyao was a little surprised. However, she wasn't completely clueless. Before the marriage, the nannies in the palace had already imparted this knowledge to her. However, seeing Fuller do this, Gu Yunyao blushed a little.
After Fuller was done, Mingyue Cheng spoke, "How is it? Are you used to it? "
"This concubine is doing very well. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
When Gu Yunyao said these words, Mingyue Cheng knew that he had found a very suitable person. Gu Yunyao was very smart, but her intelligence was different from other people who flaunted and meddlesome things. She knew what not to do and what not to say.
Looking at the young face in front of him, Mingyue Cheng nodded slightly. "It's good that you like it! Zhen won't take up too much of your time. After a few years, Zhen will find a suitable time to arrange for you to fake your death. At that time, I will give you a new identity so that you can leave the palace and start a new life. "
What Gu Yunyao didn't expect was that Mingyue Cheng had thought of every step. From her concubine selection to her wedding, even her future had been arranged. Like this, she only needed to listen to his commands and cooperate with Mingyue Cheng's actions. However, Gu Yunyao still couldn't understand why Mingyue Cheng would do this! Since he wasn't willing to take a concubine, wasn't he the emperor? This world was his, so why couldn't he make the decision for himself!
As if seeing Gu Yunyao's confusion, Mingyue Cheng put down the teacup.
"I don't know if you've heard of the saying, 'In Jianghu, one cannot help oneself'. In fact, this kind of helplessness is not only limited to Jianghu. People like Zhen, who stand at the top, also have many things that they have no choice but to do. Your Majesty is not a person who does as he pleases. There are many times when Zhen has no choice but to do things that Zhen doesn't like. "
At this point, Mingyue Cheng thought of Feng Qi Qi. No matter what, she had rushed over today and even delivered the gift that she had personally made. In Mingyue Cheng's eyes, this was the greatest satisfaction.
Gu Yunyao didn't know what Mingyue Cheng was thinking, but at this moment, she could clearly see a smile on Mingyue Cheng's lips. This smile was something that Gu Yunyao rarely saw. At the very least, in the few times she had met Mingyue Cheng, she had never seen such an obvious smile on his face.
She didn't know who this smile was for.
After hearing Mingyue Cheng's words, Gu Yunyao felt some sympathy for this young emperor in front of her. Everyone believed that the emperor was supreme, but Gu Yunyao didn't see the slightest bit of happiness or happiness from Mingyue Cheng. Instead, he felt a heavy responsibility and pressure.
Looking at his smile just now, he must have thought of someone or something. A person that could make Mingyue Cheng so happy must occupy a very important position in his heart. Gu Yunyao didn't understand. Since they liked each other, why couldn't they be together? Could it be because of their status, or something else?
Mingyue Cheng was smart, so how could he not know what Gu Yunyao was thinking? She was only fifteen years old, still at the age of innocence. He really shouldn't let her be caught up in this heavy whirlpool.
