“I made them myself. They’re very useful!”
“Big Brother, you have to keep it close to you.”
Gu Yanfei reminded him carefully. Her fair face looked a little smug, and her eyes were shining.
Gu Yuan looked down at the purse in his palm. His heart felt like it had been gently tickled by a feather. It was filled with warm emotion, and a smile couldn’t help but overflow from his eyes.
He closed his fingers and grabbed the purse in his palm, the joy of being biased appearing between his eyebrows.
As expected, his sister was still the closest to him, the big brother. He had her gift, but the Eldest Prince didn’t!
Gu Yuan rubbed the top of Gu Yanfei’s head again and said meaningfully, “When I return, 1’11 bring you a big gift. Be good and wait for me in the capital.” “Yes,” Gu Yanfei agreed with a smile.
She was as obedient as she could be.
The siblings had dinner together. After that, Gu Yuan left and rushed into the palace before the curfew.

Originally, Gu Yuan was already very busy on duty iasn the Commandant of the Capital. Today, he also used the excuse of packing his luggage and returning to the residence to bid farewell to his sister. Tonight, he would stay in the maid room in the palace.
The capital seemed to be surprisingly quiet and calm that night.
The next morning, the Eldest Prince’s ceremonial guard left the capital with the State of Yue’s envoy team.
As it concerned the marriage between the two countries, Chu Yi brought more than ten carriages of betrothal gifts on this trip. He went south to the State of Yue to propose to Princess Ximing. This betrothal gift was naturally quite rich. Not only were there gold, silver, gemstones, antique calligraphy, silk, furniture, utensils, and so on, but there were also hundreds of good foals, making it look very powerful.
Gu Yanfei found a restaurant near the south city gate to send Chu Yi and Gu Yuan off. Apart from her, many commoners also came to the city gate to send them off when they heard that the Eldest Prince was leaving for the State of Yue today.
The area around the city gate was extremely lively. After a long time of commotion, the crowd dispersed.
During this period of time, the busiest people in the capital were probably the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Just as they sent the Eldest Prince and the others away, right on the heels of that, the Ministry of Rites prepared for the sacrifice in the imperial mausoleum.
Time was really tight, and the ceremonial department was busy.
Because Gu Yanfei would also accompany Feng Yang, the ceremonial department specially sent the ceremonial event to her to see.
On April 15, Gu Yanfei arrived at the princess’s residence in Feng Yang at dawn. The doorman didn’t need to report and let her in.
“Second Lady Gu, Her Highness hasn’t woken up yet. I’ll bring you to Her Highness’s room.” Feng Yang’s trusted aide, Ruo Su, personally came to welcome Gu Yanfei and led her to the main courtyard.
In the past half a month, Gu Yanfei had been a frequent guest of the princess’s residence. She was already familiar with this place and could come and go as she pleased. There was no place she couldn’t go.
Everyone in the princess’s residence was very polite to Gu Yanfei and even respected her.
Ruo Su was a martial arts practitioner, so she had an additional valiant heroic spirit around her compared to the women beside her. When she walked, her footsteps were light and stable.
Seeing that there was no one in front or behind, Ruo Su lowered her voice and said to Gu Yanfei, “Second Lady Gu, Her Highness didn’t sleep very soundly last night. She only fell asleep after I gave her the calming incense you made for her. I saw that it was still early, so I didn’t dare wake Her Highness up.”
Ruo Su frowned deeply, unable to hide her worry for Feng Yang.
Gu Yanfei didn’t say a word. He followed Ruosu through various doors and arrived at the inner room of the main courtyard.
The room was filled with a faint scent of calming incense.
After passing by a purple sandalwood five-panel screen, Gu Yanfei saw Feng Yang lying quietly on the shelf bed.
Feng Yang, who was covered by a dark red thin blanket, closed her eyes tightly. In the dark bed curtains, her face was a little pale. Even when Gu Yanfei approached, Feng Yang didn’t move at all and was still sleeping.
“Your Highness, Your Highness…”
Gu Yanfei called out softly twice. The sleeping Feng Yang’s eyelids twitched a few times before she slowly opened her eyes. Her turbid eyes were a little confused, but soon, her gaze became sharp again.
As she lay down, she looked even thinner than usual.
“Yanfei,” Feng Yang called out in a low voice. Her voice was a little hoarse and weak from just waking up, and she frowned slightly.
Even without checking Feng Yang’s pulse, Gu Yanfei could see with her naked eye that Feng Yang’s life force was disappearing quickly in a few days…
Feng Yang’s body was getting worse by the day. The sun was setting. A few days ago, when Gu Yanfei came to the princess’s residence to see her, she could sit, stand, talk, and smile like a normal person.
But now, she already…
Gu Yanfei’s half-closed eyes were as deep as a well.
Ruo Su also looked at Feng Yang from behind, her heart aching.
They all knew that Feng Yang was sick. Her illness surged like a dam collapsing..
