Meanwhile, at the Autumn Palace…
Lin Shishi pushed open the door of the study and glanced at the figure standing by the window. She then gently called out, "Honey."
Tuoba Gucheng turned. "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Since you weren't back, I came to see if you were still busy."
He reached out to grab her shoulders before following her back to the bedroom.
The couple lay down on the bed, and Lin Shishi rested against his arms. "Have you been too tired lately? You seem rather troubled."
"I'm just too busy. If I've neglected you, please understand."
"I don't feel neglected." She laughed lightly. "You're working hard, I know that. Danxue's wedding is taking place soon. Although wedding traditions usually call for the groom's side to take charge, Mother said that Danxue's wedding will take place here."
