Indeed, it was just as Gu Yinian had thought.

After the empress had received them, the empress dowager immediately had Gu Qingyi brought away.

Fortunately, Gu Yinian had resisted Gu Qingyi long ago, so when he saw her being taken away, he didn't worry too much, even though he still couldn't let her go. However, compared to Gu Yinian, Gu Qingyi was much calmer. Even though she hadn't seen the empress dowager many times in her past life, she'd seen her a few times.

This time, she had already made her preparations. If she were to enter the palace, she would definitely see him.

Furthermore … And this time she didn't want to do it like she had in her previous life.

In his previous life, when he heard what Lian Feng Yue said, he treated her words as a creed and followed everything he said. He saved himself from following her every step of the way. So much so that … He wasn't close with the empress dowager at all. Even the people beside her treated her coldly, let alone the Heavenly Queen.

Actually, it wasn't the first time she heard others speak of her as a cold and arrogant person. It was just that at that time, she didn't care about these things.

Moreover, even if he felt bad, he still didn't know what to do. How to reverse this situation that was very disadvantageous for him. He could only drag it out like this. Inwardly, he knew those who were able to worship him. It was fine if he didn't know anyone else.

However, she didn't understand that people's words were fearsome, and she was slowly knocked down by these rumors.

Later on, when that man tried to kill him, there was no one by his side who would speak up for him.

In the eyes of those people, what they had done to arouse the attention of others was well-deserved.

"Miss, be careful."

An old wet nurse carefully supported Gu Qingyi, constantly reminding her. Even if Gu Qingyi was extremely careful, it still wouldn't escape the old wet nurse's eyes. She could be considered an old man of the palace and had some face in front of the empress dowager. Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed her to pick up Qingyi.

With just a glance, she could tell that Gu Qingyi's leg was injured.

However, the little girl didn't say anything along the way, so she naturally couldn't ask. No matter what, she was just a servant.

In his heart, he was actually admiring this little girl.

Although... Although she did not look like the princess from back then, her character was still extremely good.

"Thank you, mama. It's fine."

Even without the old wet nurse saying anything, Gu Qingyi understood that she wouldn't be able to hide something like this from this old wet nurse. However, since she didn't say it herself, she didn't say anything either.

However, the old wet nurse purposely sped up along the way. In her heart, she was still very grateful.

"Sigh, this old servant can't do that."

The old nanny smiled and indicated for those around her to slow down.

Although the crowd didn't have the old granny's sharp eyes, they were all smart people. They didn't need to directly say anything. They could understand with just a glance or movement.

All the palace maids and eunuchs slowed their steps as they walked forward slowly.

"Miss, we're here."

After an hour of time, they finally arrived at the empress dowager's palace. The towering palace looked exactly the same as it did in their memories. In the main hall, a well-dressed lady looked around anxiously. Even the maidservants were carefully making a ruckus.

Gu Qingyi only needed a glance to recognize her. This was the empress dowager.

His grandmother.

She looked much younger than she remembered and spirited.

"Grandmother!"

For some reason, Gu Qingyi's nose suddenly felt sore. She did not care about the rules anymore and quickly took two steps forward. Like a wisp of smoke, she rushed over and knelt beside the old lady with a 'putong' sound.

Suddenly …

The empress dowager was stunned for a moment before reacting.

"Qing, Qing Yi?" Was it Qingyi? Is that Grandmother's Qingyi? "

The empress dowager rubbed Gu Qingyi's head with trembling hands, her eyes turning red.
