Xie Xingyun poured himself a cup of tea. "If you meet a girl you really like in the future, you won't say such things."
Gu Yu did not think much of it. "I won't be so sad over a girl. It's better to be alone."
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was a little cold, or perhaps it was because the liveliness downstairs was in stark contrast to the loneliness upstairs, Gu Yu took the initiative to change the topic. "Isn't the Second Prince of Daqing coming soon? Logically speaking, you should be too busy to get out now. Why are you here?"
Gu Yu lived in the palace to begin with. The news that the Emperor was going to welcome the envoy of Daqing had spread throughout the capital. Many princes and princesses were discussing this matter. As the Empress' physician, he often visited the harem and had also heard a lot of news.
Hence, Xie Xingyun was not surprised and did not hide it from him. "I'm on a bath break. I came out to buy chestnut cakes."
