Gu Youyou personally wrote a letter and visited the Imperial Palace herself to deliver it directly to the Emperor.
She found the transportation of food supplies inconvenient, and felt that such tasks should be handled by the Emperor.
The Emperor was clearly shocked when he saw the letter presented by Gu Youyou.
He was astonished that this woman had prepared so much food, and that she had delivered it personally in the afternoon after he had only issued the decree in the morning. It was all too quick.
It seemed she had been prepared all along, just waiting for that imperial decree.
The Emperor couldn't help but take a few more glances at Gu Youyou.
To hide her already bulging belly, Gu Youyou wore thick coats, making her appear much heavier than usual.
Feeling uneasy under the Emperor's scrutiny, she felt as if he could see right through her.
