“When we were talking about the discussion with Prince Muyi, the Imperial Master was present too. He had been sent back to the Feather Mulberry Land ages ago and maybe he had passed on a terrible and untrue
petition to the King who believed him. So he suspects that Prince Muyi did something improper,” Gu Chaoyan said seriously.
Prince Muyi was a very gentle and nice person. He could have dealt with the Imperial Master personally before, but he sent him back instead.
However, because of this, the Imperial Master talked ill of the Prince and convinced the King.
“I want to visit the Feather Mulberry Land,” Gu Chaoyan said.
“Aha?” Zhou Huaijin was surprised.
Gu Chaoyan took hold of Zhou Huaijin’s hands and explained. “It is not my business what happens between the King and Prince Muyi, but the Imperial Master has stolen what Yellow Crane has and has started making
money in his country! That is something I can’t stand, so I have to deal with the matter personally.”
Zhou Huaijin had read through Prince Muyi’s letter too, and he was very angry after he finished reading the letter.
The Imperial Master had done so many terrible things – did they think that they would not dare to step into the Feather Mulberry Land, just because they were far away?
“I will go there with you,” Zhou Huaijin said. He was taking Gu Chaoyan’s side.
Gu Chaoyan nodded. They needed to make some preparations for the visit there, but Gu Chaoyan looked very serious.
Zhou Huaijin pinched her face and asked. “So Mrs. Gu made a fuss here today?”
“Yes. She wanted to get a prescription for childbirth,” Gu Chaoyan said helplessly.
Zhou Huaijin started to think through the whole thing and soon realized what happened.
“Mrs. Gu is too old to have children, so I think that she was asking for the prescription for Gu Ruxue,” Zhou Huaijin said calmly. “My Fourth Brother has married many times, but he has not fathered any children during
these years. Father has granted Elder Brother and Zhou Huaiyu young maids, so he must be in a hurry just to give birth to the Eldest grandson!”
After he finished speaking, Zhou Huaijin suddenly realized that Chaoyan was a young maid herself.
He should not have talked about this with her.
He stretched out his hands and covered her ears. “You don’t have to listen to anything like this any more. Why did she ask you, a young, unmarried maid, for a prescription for childbirth?”
Zhou Huaijin was displeased.
Gu Chaoyan shrugged, feeling both helpless and funny.
“Elder Miss, the food is ready.” Sword One reminded them with a small whisper.
Only now did Gu Chaoyan remember that they should eat something first.

At Qianqing Palace
De Fu was preparing the meal for the King.
The King had cut down many dishes, but the table was still filled with various dishes.
De Fu was instructing the maids to place them well. He was busy with the arrangement too. However, De Fu accidentally knocked over one dish, so he turned pale instantly, kneeling down. “Sorry!”
The King looked at De Fu in confusion.
De Fu had been his servant for a very long time, but he noticed him behaving very weirdly these days. He had been shivering about a lot of things, and this tiny matter had startled him deeply.
“De Fu, what is going on?! Did you make any mistakes?!” The King interrogated him seriously..
