Sister Is Busy

Gu Lan noticed Mu Yuyan's prolonged silence and looked at her with confusion.

"Yuyan, what's wrong?"

"N-nothing."

"You must be tired of standing. Go and rest for a while, my dear."

Gu Lan said with great concern. "I am somewhat tired of living..." Mu Yuyan pouted her small mouth and sighed in her heart.

However, regardless of the struggles, as the Grand Tutor had said, her identity was unavoidable. She had to change the perception, preparing for the time when she would completely reveal everything to Gu Lan.

"Master Gu, there's actually something I haven't told you."

After Mu Yuyan dissipated the heat from her rosy cheeks and collected her thoughts, her bright and clear eyes opened, and she began to speak slowly.

"What is it?"

"At the beginning, when I told you that I was wandering alone, it wasn't entirely true... I have a sister who, in her early years, entered the palace and is now serving as a court lady beside Your Majesty in the imperial city."
