When the noise inside finally calmed down, Zi Ye pushed open the door and entered.

For some reason, he felt that there was something different here. His wife had cleared out one area and placed a small table with two wooden tablets and a few porcelain jars on it. When he got a bit closer, he suddenly discovered that there were actually two spirit tablets. Although there was no indication as to who they belonged to, this kind of thing shouldn't exist here.

Zi Ye walked forward and was just about to advise him to keep all of these things, but Gu Moyan seemed to be embarrassed as he spoke first, "Zi Ye, can you help me leave the palace to help me buy some things to worship to? There doesn't seem to be anything here."

"Empress, this ? It seems a little inappropriate. " Zi Ye could not bear to refuse. This was the first time since the Empress fell into the lake that she requested for him to even speak with a hint of request, but the spirit tablets were prohibited even in the palace. If the Emperor were to find them, he would have no idea how he would punish the Empress.

Other than the places used for sacrificial rites, whether it was the emperor's sleeping quarters or the commoners, the placement of forbidden items such as spirit tablets in the rooms was a great disrespect to those who now lived in the houses. What's more, this was the palace!

Zi Ye's face turned ugly, but in the end he did not say anything, went to his room to retrieve some silver, and left.

"Why did you say that the Empress placed two spirit tablets in her room? Say ?" The sound behind him gradually died down. He probably knew that these words were not suitable for him to say in front of such a large crowd. However, there was no need to mention what he had yet to say.

Zi Ye had just come back from outside and was purchasing the things the Empress wanted to use. Before he had even put them down, he heard that there were already very few servants gathered together in this small building. He spoke of what he had seen in the morning. Presumably, he had seen it at the gate of the Empress's house in the morning. The Empress's house had always been cleaned by him, and he instantly felt somewhat angry. He knew that they had misunderstood the Empress's intentions, but he also did not believe that the Empress was such a person.

However, in the end, Gu Moyan was still a concubine who had lost his favour. In front of these servants, however, Zi Ye could only swallow his anger, not saying a word, silently avoiding them. He turned around and entered Gu Moyan's room.

Gu Moyan did the same actions that Zi Ye did when he left, he stood in front of the table and wiped the two spirit tablets with a cloth, as though he would not stop until it was smooth and smooth. Gu Moyan looked at the spirit tablet in his hands. Within his eyes, there seemed to be thousands of words that he could not say, yet it also seemed to be like the billowing waves of love, complicated yet simple.

Since Zi Ye could not understand it, was this an expression that the Empress would never reveal before, was it because she was overly fond of the emperor? He then stepped forward and said, "Empress, this spirit tablet is forbidden in the palace. The Emperor doesn't allow this kind of thing to exist in the palace. It would be better for Empress to put it away as soon as possible."

Gu Moyan acted as if he did not hear his words, and picked up the thing that was placed on the table just now, then thanked him and picked up the fire pincer, lighting up the incense.

This was for the lively Gu Moyan of the past, as well as his own ? Gu Moyan seemed to be a little persistent, he stared at the smoke rising slowly.
