“I haven’t come out once since I entered the palace. Now’s the opportunity to come out and take a walk today.

“However, we won’t go out and stroll around with great fanfare. Instead, we want to go to your restaurant and eat while looking at the lanterns.” Gu Wanning said.

“Has the palace made any arrangements?” Gu Chengrui looked at the Emperor and asked.

No one could guarantee that the capital was really safe. If someone made trouble tonight, it would be a big problem.

“Don’t worry. Guard Chu and the others are still in the palace. The Sun family has already brought over the Eldest Princess.

“The Grand Empress Dowager and Yangyang will be here soon.”

Gu Chengrui knew that it was useless to say anything after hearing that. Instead, he stood up and said, “You guys chat first. I’ll go and make the arrangements.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

He couldn’t let anything happen to them in his restaurant.

“Sorry to trouble you. When we came out, each of us brought ten guards.

“I’ve also informed the Yan family. I just want the people to have a perfect Lantern Festival without any accidents.” The Emperor nodded.

“Got it.” Seeing this, Gu Chenglin could only resign himself to his fate and bring the Emperor back to his courtyard.

After they left, Zhou Ying looked at Gu Wanning and asked, “You didn’t cause a ruckus to leave the palace, did you?”

“No, it was the Emperor who suggested it. When I received the news, I was shocked.”

“That’s good. There will definitely be a lot of people tonight. Try to walk less with your big belly.”

Zhou Ying was immediately curious, as she didn’t want to believe that the Emperor was just coming out to look at the lanterns. She just didn’t know what he was planning.

Not long after, the Grand Empress Dowager rushed over with Yangyang. Other than Nanny Liu, there was also a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl.

“Greetings, Grand Empress Dowager.” Zhou Ying hurriedly stood up and greeted her..
