The next day's banquet wouldn't be too far apart. In the blink of an eye, the day had arrived.

When Gu Moyan stepped into the Burning Heaven Hall, it was almost possible to see his body trembling with the naked eye.

Gu Mo, who was inside his soul, uncontrollably started to become afraid of this place. It could be seen how deep the effects of Gu Moyan's attack before this was. This was the place where Gu Moyan had lost everything, that concubine, that Night Pearl. Or perhaps Gu Moyan himself had brought along the same ailments from his previous life, a place that didn't like the number of people ?

Even if they were afraid, they still had to go in. He stood still in the doorway, trying to calm himself. Zi Ye followed beside him and upon seeing that he was not moving, he raised his head suspiciously, just in time to meet with the person seated at the very top.

He was still wearing a black robe, and his sleeves were embroidered with a myriad of patterns. His hair was bound with a crown, adding a touch of regal air to it. Originally, he had been an overlord, a position above tens of thousands of people. A slightly doubtful expression appeared on his face as he looked in his direction with a faint smile.

Zi Ye immediately lowered his head, gently pulling at the corner of Gu Moyan's clothes, and said softly, "Empress, we should still quickly go in."

Gu Moyan raised his leg and entered, and was immediately led to his seat by a servant. Fortunately, he did not sit next to the emperor on his right. Gu Moyan was glad, but he did not show it on his face, but those people did not think much of him.

He quietly followed the greetings and etiquette of the ministers. During this time, he kept his head down, making everyone who saw him a lot more obedient.

In fact, when everyone saw Gu Moyan again after a year, it was unavoidable for them to think of him as something that was slightly out of their imagination. In his impression, he should have been born with that kind of charming demeanor that this young man should have, the kind of coquettishness that was favored and prided by others. Perhaps in his imagination, those people would think that he was a heavenly beauty. Even if they were not, they would not lose to any of the courtesans in the brothel.

But now, this appearance was somewhat similar to that in the rumors. Other than the pair of large eyes that seemed to shine with starlight, how could one tell that when Gu Moyan was in his prime, he had become more ordinary towards the concubines in the imperial harem.

Gu Moyan seemed to be trying his best to lower the feeling of his own existence. He was afraid of being watched by so many people.

Those people only looked at him for a few seconds. It wasn't the stunning beauty that they had imagined. Then, they moved their gazes away and continued to talk about their own matters.

The audience was in a heated discussion, enjoying the corn that had been made in the past few days in the palace or in his own residence. Everyone nodded in praise.

However, the situation was rather strange. The emperor did not have any concubines or servants by his side. He was just standing there by himself, looking at his ministers, or lowering his head in contemplation.

The only one who could see the changes in Gu Moyan the most was Mo Guhan, as he could also differentiate the details themselves. He followed him for a long time. Ever since he fell into the water the last time, Mo Guhan went to take a look, but that time, his eyes were closed. But this time, it was obvious. Was he blaming himself for sending him there?

Mo Guhan played with the grape in his hand, allowing it to travel between his fingers, but he quickly rejected the idea. In the end, he understood Gu Moyan's personality too well, maybe this was just a gift from him.
