The next day's banquet wouldn't be too far apart. In the blink of an eye, the day had arrived.

When Gu Moyan stepped into the Burning Heaven Hall, it was almost visible to the naked eye that his body was trembling; it was already the middle of summer in June.

The Gu Mo in his soul couldn't help but feel fear towards this place. From this, one could see how deep the influence that Gu Mo Yan had before this. This was the place where Gu Mo Yan had lost everything: his concubine, the Night Pearl. Or perhaps it was because Gu Moyan had suffered from the same problems as his previous life and wasn't fond of people …

Even if they were afraid, they still had to go in. He stood still in the doorway, trying to calm himself. Zi Ye followed beside him. When he saw that Ye Zichen did not move, he raised his head in puzzlement and caught sight of the person sitting at the very top.

He was still wearing a black robe, and his sleeves were embroidered with a myriad of patterns. His hair was bound with a crown, adding a touch of regal air to it. Originally, he had been an overlord, a position above tens of thousands of people. A slightly doubtful expression appeared on his face as he looked in his direction with a faint smile.

Ye Zi immediately lowered his head, lightly pulling Gu Moyan's sleeve, and said in a soft voice, "Empress, let's go in quickly."

Gu Moyan entered and was immediately led to her seat by one of the servants. Fortunately, he did not sit next to the emperor on his right. Gu Moyan was slightly glad, but he didn't show it on his face, which made them look down on him.

He quietly followed the greetings and etiquette of the ministers. During this time, he kept his head down, making everyone who saw him a lot more obedient.

In fact, after a year, when everyone saw Gu Moyan again, it was inevitable that they would not have the same impression of him as they had imagined. In his impression, he should have been born with that kind of charming demeanor that this young man should have, the kind of coquettishness that was favored and prided by others. Perhaps in his imagination, those people would think that she was a heavenly beauty. Even if they were not, they would not lose to any of the courtesans in the brothel.

But now, this beauty was somewhat similar to the rumours. Apart from the pair of large eyes that seemed to shine with starlight, how could one tell that at that time when Gu Moyan was in his prime, he had become a bit more ordinary towards the concubines of the imperial harem.

Gu Mo Yan seemed to be trying his best to lower the feeling of his own existence. He was afraid of being watched by so many people.

Those people only looked at him for a few seconds. It wasn't the stunning beauty that they had imagined. Then, they moved their gazes away and continued to talk about their own matters.

The audience was in a heated discussion, enjoying the corn that had been made in the past few days in the palace or in his own residence. Everyone nodded in praise.

However, the situation was rather strange. The emperor did not have any concubines or servants by his side. He was just standing there by himself, looking at his ministers, or lowering his head in contemplation.

The only person who could see the changes in Gu Mo Yan was Mo Gu Han. He could also distinguish the details. He had been with Mo Gu Han for a long time. Ever since he fell into the water, Mo Gu Han had gone to take a look, but that time, he had closed his eyes and could not see anything even in his sleep. But this time, it was obvious. Was he blaming himself for sending him there?

Mo Gu Han played with the grape in his hand, making it move between his fingers. However, he quickly rejected this idea because he understood Gu Mo Yan's personality too well. Perhaps this was just a gift from him.
