After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

The next day.

When Qingluan entered the room carrying the copper basin, Yan Qing had already woken up.

The woman was leaning on the couch with her hair loose, her brows slightly furrowed, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.

Qingluan twisted the handkerchief and stepped forward: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Qing seemed to be frightened.

She looked at Qingluan blankly, took the handkerchief and covered her face, and finally became a little more sober.

"Miss, why did you get up so early today?"

After helping Yan Qing wash her face, Qing Luan began to clean up. She saw the bowl of tranquilizing soup on the nanmu table and was stunned for a moment. She turned around and asked, "Miss, didn't you drink the tranquilizing soup last night?"

Yan Qing turned away his gaze: "Yeah."

She last night...

I deliberately didn't drink the calming soup.

She didn't know what she was thinking. After parting with Miss Yang yesterday, she felt a little heavy in her heart. When she saw the bowl of calming soup before going to bed, she didn't drink it for some unknown reason...

Yan Qing thought that if she didn't drink the tranquilizing soup, she would dream of the secret room again like before, but that didn't happen.

She slept well last night.

It was the best sleep I've ever had since my rebirth.

No dreams, no fears.

It is because I got enough sleep that I got up early today.

But after waking up, Yan Qing felt a little melancholy for some reason.

Qingluan concentrated and asked, "Miss, did you forget to drink the tranquilizing soup, so you had a nightmare again last night?"

Apart from having nightmares, the young lady has never woken up so early these days.

Yan Qing shook his head, glanced at the medicine bowl on the table in shock, and sighed, "Take it away. We won't need it anymore."

She felt as if she would never dream again.

Do not know what is the reasons of that.

"Yes."

Qingluan brought the calming soup down.

At the end of the hour of Mao, a carriage hurriedly stopped at the gate of Yan's mansion, and Yan Junyuan had been waiting there for a long time.

Yesterday he sent someone to Jinyun Mountain outside the city to invite the old lady back home, and the time they came and went was exactly this time.

"mother!"

Seeing the carriage, Yan Junyuan immediately went to meet it.

Old Madam Gu, supported by the nanny, trembled as she got off the carriage, her face full of fatigue and anger: "What happened that made you want me to rush back overnight?

Do you know that your mother is already over sixty years old? Although Jinyun Mountain is just outside the city, don’t you know how difficult the road is? Aren’t you afraid that I will die outside?

"My mother taught me a lesson!"

Yan Junyuan immediately admitted his mistake and personally helped Old Lady Gu back to the mansion: "Son, there is nothing I can do. This matter concerns my future and the future of the Yan family. I have no choice but to invite mother back..."

"What? So serious?"

When Mrs. Gu heard that this matter concerned her son's future, her tired expression instantly disappeared. She asked anxiously, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Tell me quickly, what happened at home?"

"Yes……"

Yan Junyuan just opened his mouth, then suddenly looked around and said to the others, "You all go down. I will personally escort the old lady back to Shou'an Hall."

The servants retreated one after another.

Even the old nanny who usually served Old Madam Gu was far away from the two of them.

Yan Junyuan supported Old Lady Gu and walked to the backyard.

When there was no one around, he looked at the old lady with a serious expression: "Mother, did you know that Gu Huaizhou is the Fourth Prince?"

"What?"

Old Mrs. Gu didn't react.

Yan Junyuan repeated, "Gu Huaizhou is the Fourth Prince."

"How can this be!"

Old Madam Gu subconsciously retorted, even raising her voice, "If that boy is the Fourth Prince, then wouldn't I be the Emperor Emeritus?!"

"Mom, please be quiet!"

Yan Junyuan subconsciously covered his mother's mouth.

He looked around warily, then stared at Mrs. Gu's expression. The old lady looked surprised and confused, and even had a hint of sarcasm in her face. She didn't seem to be lying.

Yan Junyuan let go of the old lady's mouth and asked again with a frown, "Mother, do you really not know Gu Huaizhou's background?"

"What background? He's just the son of your deceased uncle and a whore. He's not even worthy of being shown to the public!"

When talking about Gu Huaizhou, Mrs. Gu didn't like him much. Instead, she said complacently: "If I hadn't asked your uncle to take him back because he was the offspring of the old Gu family, he might have become a cuckold slave now..."

"Mom, please stop talking!"

Yan Junyuan's mother was so frightened by the contempt for the Fourth Prince that her face turned pale. She quickly recounted what happened at the blessing ceremony and reiterated, "Mother, you must remember that Gu Huaizhou is now the Fourth Prince. We can't afford to offend him!"

"This, how is this possible!"

Old Mrs. Gu was stunned and couldn't react for a long time.

She grabbed Yan Junyuan's hand and said in a daze, "He is obviously my uncle's child, how could he become the Fourth Prince..."

Yan Junyuan originally thought that his mother knew something, but looking at the old lady's reaction, it was obvious that she knew nothing.

but……

He narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly stared at Old Madam Gu: "Mother, no matter what, it was you who brought him to Kyoto, and it was our Yan Mansion who raised him. The Fourth Prince cannot evade this debt of gratitude. I specially invited the Fourth Prince to dinner at our mansion today. I just need you to..."

"I'm afraid this won't work..."

Before Yan Junyuan could finish, Mrs. Gu suddenly looked a little awkward: "My relationship with him...is not good..."

Yan Junyuan looked at Mrs. Gu in confusion: "How could it be bad?"

Gu Huaizhou was brought to Kyoto by his mother herself.

Without my mother, there would be no Fourth Prince today!

This is a great favor.

Why doesn’t mother recognize her?

Old Madam Gu stammered, "It was...back then...Mom...well, you know what happened in the countryside..."

Yan Junyuan comforted her, "Mother, it's okay. You brought the Fourth Prince to Kyoto and gave him a place to stay. This is a great favor. As long as you don't offend him..."

"But...what if I offend someone?"

Mrs. Gu suddenly spoke in a low voice.

Yan Junyuan was stunned for a moment, then he comforted her: "It doesn't matter if he offended me, it's a small matter. As long as you didn't hit or scold him..."

"...and was he beaten or scolded?"

Yan Junyuan's breathing stagnated. He suddenly grabbed Old Lady Gu's hand and almost roared, "Mother, did you beat or scold the Fourth Prince?"

Hearing her son yell at her, Old Lady Gu immediately became unhappy and said with a long face, "Then I didn't know he was the Fourth Prince? He was so young back then, but he ate so much. He didn't do anything on weekdays and just read those tattered books all day. I... was in a bad mood and scolded him a few times..."

Boys, don’t they grow up fighting?

Besides, isn't he fine?"

After all, Old Lady Gu had lived in Kyoto for a few years and knew that the prince was of extraordinary status. Her last few words were almost a silent excuse.

Yan Junyuan tried hard to calm down.

Finally, he forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Although beating and scolding are a bit excessive, ignorance is not a crime. As long as Mother hasn't done anything to endanger the Fourth Prince's life, that's enough..."

"D-Done..."

"what?"

Mrs. Gu's face flushed red, and she was a little afraid to look at her son. She repeated in a low voice: "Maybe... maybe..."

"mother!!!"

A pig-slaughtering roar suddenly sounded in Yan Mansion!
