Duke Huguo, Gu Jun, heard what Empress Gu had said and didn't stop her; instead, he looked at her indifferently. "Empress, you should know that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Empress Gu felt a jolt in her heart and hurriedly asked.
She understood the dissatisfaction in her brother's heart, but now was the time to reprimand Gu Bilin and to prevent any further trouble that might vex His Majesty. Thus, she had no choice but to take a stern stance towards Gu Bilin.
"Human talk, can't you understand?"
Duke Huguo, Gu Jun, let out a cold laugh, "I, the national duke, am somewhat tired and will take my daughter back to the mansion first!"
And so he brazenly left the Peony Palace with Gu Bilin.
Empress Gu watched Duke Huguo and his daughter's departure without calling out to stop him; she couldn't stop him.
She took a deep look at Duke Huguo, Gu Jun, knowing he must have some complaints against her at this moment.
