After the queen woke up, the first thing she asked about Gu Beihuai's whereabouts. After learning that he had returned to the palace safely, she clamored to come, and Gu Ruxiao couldn't stop her.

Gu Beihuai didn't even look at Shufeng, he just said one word.

"roll."

The coldness and indifference made Shufeng shiver.

He really wanted to ask, was the prince going to let him go, or was he going to let the queen go?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Shufeng wanted to slap himself.

Stupid, I'll definitely tell him to go away.

But the queen must have been missing too.

So when Shuofeng came out, he said to Jifeng in all seriousness, "The prince said he won't see you."

Ji Feng frowned, "Why are you telling me this? Go tell the Queen."

"You go, the prince has other arrangements for me." Shufeng is not stupid.

The prince told him to get out, and he had to get out quickly.

Ji Feng glared at him and turned to report.

The queen waited patiently in the front hall for half an incense stick of time, but was told that Gu Beihuai was busy with official duties and would not see the guest for the time being.

The queen stood up suddenly, furious.

"Now I can't even see my own son?"

"Is that little bitch Shen Qingyan back? Is she pestering him?"

"Step aside!"

Ji Feng, however, showed no intention of giving in and spoke expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, the prince has made it clear that he will not see any visitors."

When the queen saw him trying to stop her, she became even more furious. She raised her hand and slapped him in the face: "How dare you! Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me?"

Ji Feng took the slap without dodging or evading, and said expressionlessly: "The prince said that he will not see any guests today, please go back, madam."

The queen became even more angry after hearing this, and raised her hand to hit Ji Feng again. Gu Ruxiao, who was standing by, quickly stopped her and said anxiously, "Mother..."

However, the queen was so angry that she failed to control the strength of her slap and slapped Gu Ruxiao in the face.

Gu Ruxiao was stunned, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

The queen was also stunned when she saw this, and a trace of guilt arose in her heart, but she did not apologize and continued to glare at Ji Feng.

Only Gu Ruxiao's maid hurriedly supported her, looking somewhat helpless.

Looking at the Queen who seemed like she was going crazy, Gu Ruxiao finally couldn't help but explode.

"That's enough, mother. Please don't make my brother unhappy again!"

The Queen suddenly looked over with a cold expression, "Xiao'er, have you been bought by that bitch Shen Qingyan? That's why you keep contradicting your mother!"

Gu Ruxiao's body trembled slightly. Just as he was about to speak, a cold voice came from far away: "Enough!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Beihuai walking out slowly, his face as gloomy as if a storm was coming.

"If you don't want me to tell you everything that happened, please return to the palace."

The queen's face turned pale in an instant and her breathing became short and rapid.

"Bei Huai, for the sake of Shen Qingyan, are you going to destroy your own family and your mother?"

"This son of yours did this for Yan'er, Xiao'er, and more importantly, to stop your mother from being tortured by her inner demons."

Looking at Gu Beihuai's expression, the queen's heart gradually sank.

She gritted her teeth for a while, then turned and went back to the palace.

Gu Ruxiao did not follow the queen back to the palace, but waited until Gu Beihuai finished his work and saw her.

"Why didn't you return to the palace?" Gu Beihuai asked with a frown.

Gu Ruxiao curled her lips: "Why would I go back to the palace?!"

Gu Beihuai was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you want from me?"

Gu Ruxiao's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Brother, where is the sister-in-law?"

Gu Beihuai frowned, not wanting to tell her, and only said, "Why are you asking this?"

Gu Ruxiao whispered: "Brother, please tell me."

Gu Beihuai sighed helplessly and thought: Never mind, maybe she can bring Yan'er back.

He was silent for a while, then slowly said, "She... is in Fengyue Tower."

"Fengyue Tower?" Gu Ruxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, "I'll go take a look!"

Gu Beihuai glared at her and warned her, "Don't cause trouble for me!"

Gu Ruxiao smiled and assured, "Don't worry, brother, I won't cause any trouble. I'm just going to look for the sister-in-law."

After saying that, she turned and ran, shouting as she ran: "I'm going now!"

Looking at her departing back, Gu Beihuai shook his head helplessly.

Gu Ruxiao came to Fengyue Tower in a happy mood. When the people in Fengyue Tower saw her, they panicked as if they were in big trouble, and hurried to find Shen Yuanmu.

"The fifth princess is here!" they reported nervously.

However, when Shen Yuanmu heard the news, he was unusually calm, not even frowning. Instead, he decided to stay in the room and wait.

Soon, Gu Ruxiao arrived at the door of Shen Yuanmu's room. She knocked gently, and a deep and magnetic voice came from inside: "Come in."

Hearing this voice, Gu Ruxiao's heart couldn't help but pound, and a blush appeared on her face.

Pushing the door open, Gu Ruxiao walked into the room and saw Shen Yuanmu sitting on a chair, concentrating on the book in his hand. She couldn't help feeling a little shy and didn't know how to start.

"Um..." Gu Ruxiao hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Where is the emperor's sister-in-law?"

Shen Yuanmu raised his head, looked at Gu Ruxiao gently, and said softly: "Yan'er is resting."

Hearing this, Gu Ruxiao was delighted, but she tried to hide her joy and said calmly, "Oh, then I'll wait until she wakes up and look for her."

Shen Yuanmu smiled slightly, as if he saw through Gu Ruxiao's thoughts. He put down the book in his hand and said softly, "Don't worry, Yan'er may need some time to rest. If you want, you can wait here for a while."

Gu Ruxiao nodded excitedly, secretly happy in his heart.

She began chatting with Shen Yuanmu, trying to learn more about the emperor's sister-in-law.

"Is the Imperial Sister-in-law feeling unwell?" Gu Ruxiao asked curiously.

Shen Yuanmu smiled and replied: "Yan'er is fine, nothing serious is wrong"

Gu Ruxiao nodded and asked, "Is there any problem between the emperor's sister-in-law and the emperor's brother?"

Shen Yuanmu frowned slightly, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "There are indeed some misunderstandings, but they have been resolved."

After hearing this, Gu Ruxiao felt relieved, but also felt a little guilty.

She knew she shouldn't interfere too much, but she really wanted to help them solve the problem.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a maid came in, bowed respectfully to Shen Yuanmu and said, "Sir, the princess is awake."

Shen Yuanmu nodded and said to Gu Ruxiao: "Let's go and see Yan'er."

"it is good."

Gu Ruxiao excitedly followed Shen Yuanmu to Shen Qingyan's room. When she saw Shen Qingyan, she immediately smiled warmly and walked up to greet her: "Sister-in-law, you are finally awake!"

Shen Qingyan responded to Gu Ruxiao with a smile, a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

She whispered, "Yeah, I just took a nap."
