Rumors circulated that due to her intense displeasure, Mu Yuyan had expelled the commander of the Forbidden Army from the palace.
This left Gu Lan even more puzzled!
However, before she could contemplate the reasons fully, she found herself standing in the magnificent Hall of Nurturing Harmony.
Amidst the wafting scent of sandalwood, a graceful palace maid approached, smiling as she greeted Gu Lan and Eunuch Mao: "Master Gu, Her Majesty is indisposed today and unable to receive guests. Please accept his apologies."
Gu Lan was left speechless.
She thought to herself that Mu Yuyan's illness was indeed quite troublesome.
Unable to present her case today, she would have to return another day...
Nevertheless, the palace maid continued, "However, Her Majesty is aware of Master Gu's deeds and has bestowed upon the young master items on the dragon case."
"Please wait a moment, Master Gu, I will fetch them for you!"
Gu Lan was taken aback, but graciously replied, "Thank you."
