There was clearly still a month left, so how could it be so early? Zi Ye was in so much pain that he was no longer able to think. He could only nod his head in agreement.

Gu Moyan placed a cup of tea beside the cotton-leaf and told him not to move it. Then, she turned around and left the room in a hurry.

It was impossible for him to send Ye Wen to Wu Qi alone, so he had to do it on his own.

Gu Moyan stood at the door and served a few servants who gathered around to chat while sweeping the floor. There was nothing else in the room, and when those people saw that Gu Moyan had not come up to greet them, it was evident that it was impossible to call them.

"Empress?"

Gu Moyan turned her head to look at the side when she heard the sound, and saw Little Shun standing at the corner with the pastries, looking at him suspiciously. Gu Moyan had rarely seen Gu Moyan leave the house in the past few days, and she also thought that Ye Zi Ye would definitely want to eat something, so she decided to make herself some pastries in the kitchen.

After closing the door, he said, "Xiaosun, I'll have to trouble you with something. You should know that Zi Ye is pregnant, but he seems to have signs of being pregnant these few days. I want to send him to the palace." She stopped and looked at him seriously. "Are you willing to help me?"

Little Shun placed the pastries back on the table, then glanced at the cottonleaf that was already lying on the bed, the abdomen that was pulled up under the blanket, and his tightly clenched teeth, saying nothing. "There's no need to say that, Empress. Serving the Empress is little Shun's duty, and besides, Ziye is my friend."

Gu Moyan nodded and wanted to thank him, but in the end, she gave up. Others wouldn't accept it, and there wasn't much time left for them to waste in the Clear Stream Restaurant, "You and Zi Ye go and prepare, I'll go take a look outside."

The noon sunshine was always a bit drowsy, let alone someone who was pregnant. Zi Ye was helped up by Xiao Shun and sat on a chair by the table. He leaned his head on the table, lowering his head a little. His abdomen was quiet again. He took this opportunity to pounce on his tormented body for the whole night.

"Little Shun, Zi Ye is gone." Gu Mo Yan pushed open the door and walked in. His aura was a little unstable, so he could enter the cold room with some white mist. Without waiting for them to say anything, he grabbed the package on the table and stood in front of them.

Little Shun and Gu Moyan helped him to walk outside while carrying the cotyledons. This way, they could lessen the weight of many of the cotyledons.

Outside, there was no longer anyone. Xiao Shun was curious about what Gu Moyan had told them, but he did not ask.

They didn't see anyone else along the way, and all the way to the lake, they all smoothly arrived at Wu Qi's residence.

"Zi Ye, is Wu Qi not here?" When Gu Moyan arrived at the hut, she placed him on the bed. Looking around, she found an old man with slightly gray temples. He didn't even have a servant. Luckily, she had brought him along with her.

Zi Ye smiled wryly as he laid on the bed. Then, he said softly, "He is the guard in charge of the palace. I don't even know him when we meet, let alone when he will be staying in the room today."

"But …" Gu Moyan had wanted to say something, but when she saw the unnoticeable loneliness and pain in Zi Ye's eyes, she swallowed the rest of her words. There were scars on her face, so it was better not to mention him.

Gu Moyan sat on the bed beside Zi Ye and lightly patted his hands. "Does your abdomen still hurt?"

Zi Ye was lying on the ground, shaking his head as he looked at Ye Chen with a flustered look.
