Not only did the decorations have an antique vibe, but they were also very poetic.
Consort MO carried Gu Nuo’er and sat beside a small round pond in the palace that she had specially gotten someone to dig.
She took some fish food from the shelf at the side and placed it in Gu Nuo’er’s hand.
The child lay on her stomach by the pond with great familiarity and raised her two small feet.
“Big Flower, Little Flower, I’m here to see you guys!” As she spoke, she scattered a handful of fish food.
Two flowery koi fish swam over.
They were very fat.
Gu Nuo’er was immediately pleased when she saw them.
Consort MO sat down on the futon at the side and smiled gently.
She looked up at Ye Siming and invited him to sit opposite her.
“This is the Marquis’s first time here. Why don’t you sit down and have a cup of tea?”
Ye Siming didn’t refuse or stand on ceremony and sat down generously.
He turned to look at Gu Nuo’er, who was playing happily.
This little thing encountered something she liked and forgot the reason why she had come.
Forget it. He still had to worry about her.
Consort MO poured a cup of tea for Ye Siming.
The tea was fragrant and strong.
The dense fog made the youth’s eyes look even deeper.
Consort MO actually felt that she couldn’t see through a mere youth.
She asked, “Did Nuo’er bring the marquis here just to have fun?”
Ye Siming said for Gu Nuo’er, “His Majesty once gave Her Highness a key to the private treasury. Now, the key has gone missing. I found out that it’s in the
Liuyun Palace.”
Consort MO paused in her actions of holding the teacup.
The key to the private treasury?
This was something extremely important to the royal family.
Consort MO put down her teacup. “Is there a misunderstanding in this matter? This is because Nuo’er hasn’t come to my place for some time. The key shouldn’t have fallen here.
Ye Siming raised his eyebrows and said in a calm voice, “What about the eighth prince? Does he know?”
Consort MO was stunned.
She had almost forgotten about her silly son.
She stood up. “I’ll ask him.”
Consort Mo’s dress was as beautiful as a landscape painting.
She walked to a shelf and knocked on something.
Two mechanical sounds rang out.
The seemingly ordinary shelf was slowly pulled open by her.
A hidden door was revealed.
Consort MO pulled open the door and a hidden dark room leaked out.
There were also sounds of knocking.
Consort MO stood at the door and crossed her arms, calling out calmly, “Gu Zilan, come out.”
After a while, the eighth prince walked out.
His sleeves were rolled up to his arms and he was holding a piece of metal in his hand.
“Mother, why are you calling me? I’m about to complete the mechanism for Sister. I’m just one step away!”
Consort MO calmed down and gestured for him to look behind her.
Only then did the eighth prince see Ye Siming looking at him coldly.
“Why is the Marquis here?” Gu Zilan was a little surprised. He turned around and saw that even his sister was there.
Gu Nuo’er raised a fair hand. “Eighth Brother.”
Consort MO asked, “Marquis Yongye said that Nuo’er once obtained a key to a private treasury from His Majesty. Have you seen it before?” The eighth prince shook his head in confusion. “No… Wait!”
A thought flashed through his mind.
He frowned and pondered. “Key… Could it be…’
After saying that, he suddenly turned around and rushed into the dark room. Not long later, he walked out with a key with a tourmaline dragon-shaped pendant.
“Is this it?”
When Gu Nuo’er saw this, she quickly jumped happily. “So it’s really with Eighth Brother!”
Consort MO also widened her eyes. She was a little angry. “Gu Zilan, this key is extremely important.. How can you hide it?!”
