Son Missing

Gu Qingluan didn't care about it at all. She disregarded what the emperor said as if it didn't matter to her

She didn't need the Gu family to maintain her position and status.

The emperor, who had never been in her shoes, couldn't possibly empathize and make choices for her.

She wouldn't easily let go of her grudge against the Gu family.

She simply brushed off the emperor's scolding, and it went in one ear and out the other.

Afterward, she gracefully exited the study.

Gu Zhicheng followed her, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Gu Qingluan pretended not to notice him and looked towards the courtyard. Not seeing Xiaonan and Yuanxi, her heart tightened slightly. She turned to the palace maid standing outside and asked, "Where are the two boys who came with me?"

"They are resting in the side hall," one of the palace maids explained.

Gu Qingluan's expression eased a bit as she instructed her to lead the way.
