Gu Qingyi spoke sorrowfully as her small body continuously trembled. The ground quickly became wet, but she clenched her teeth to prevent herself from making a sound.
The empress dowager looked at him silently for a long time before sighing. "The heavens have mercy on us. Look at you, why does this child kneel so easily? The grandmother was only joking with you, not scolding you. "
"Qingyi understands. Grandmother is a kind person, of course, she wouldn't care too much about it." It was all because of Qing Yi. If Qing Yi was born with any resemblance to her mother, then … "Then …"
Gu Qingyi was still kneeling on the ground as she spoke, choked with sobs. She slowly raised her head and looked at the empress dowager with teary eyes. She couldn't help but clench her hands into fists.
There had always been a knot in her heart that she didn't dare to lightly touch. Perhaps it was because of this that she had been cautious in everything she did in her previous life … She didn't know if Xuanyuan Jing was just speaking casually or if he had some sort of ulterior motive … Since he had come back to life … Gritting her teeth, Gu Qingyi steeled her heart and made a decision …
"You child, who said that you are not like your mother? Your eyes are just like your mother's."
The empress dowager frowned and interrupted her with a slightly unhappy expression, as if she firmly believed in Gu Qingyi.
But...
However, Gu Qingyi was still able to clearly see the doubt that flashed in her eyes.
Clenching her skirt, Gu Qingyi lowered her head slightly. The corners of her lips curled up into a bitter smile.
In the end … In the end, you said you believed it, but in reality, you don't believe it at all, right?
Since that's the case …
"Grandmother is right, but Qing Yi also knows that other than those eyes, she doesn't look like her mother. "It's Qingyi who has let mother down …" Actually, their suspicions weren't unreasonable. Gu Yan Nian and Princess An Ping from back then, the man was heroic and the woman was gentle and beautiful, but to her, they had become …
It was even worse than an ordinary maid.
It was no wonder those people in his previous life were constantly using his background as a topic.
Although they didn't dare to say anything on the surface, many people were discussing behind the scenes.
As for himself … Due to such discussions, he became even more careful, afraid that he would accidentally do something wrong …
Since he had started over again, he might as well start from here.
"Child, what nonsense are you spouting? "The Nine Sons of the Dragon are all different. Looks are determined by the heavens. How can I blame you for this?"
The human heart was all fleshy, even though she was a haughty empress dowager who was used to seeing people being cold and warm-hearted. However … Fortunately, in her heart, there was still a trace of feelings for her mother …
Gu Qingyi clenched her fists and slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
This was good. This way, his plans would be a bit easier.
"All these are known to Qingyi, it's just that Qingyi has been living in the outside world since she was a child." Fortunately, the heavens had blessed him with a family, but … It's just that the royal bloodline cannot be confused. Although Grandmother and Father have decided that Qing Yi is your relative, there are so many people in the world … If we do not give everyone an explanation, where is the dignity of the Heavenly Clan? "
The empress dowager's face was dark, and there was no sound from the surroundings. Gu Qingyi was no longer afraid, so she slowly got up and walked step by step towards the empress dowager. There was no need to hold back the pain in her feet anymore. However, it was only five to six meters away from her. When she walked over, she was already covered in sweat.
"Eh? "Little girl, what's wrong with your foot?"
After a long time, the empress dowager looked at Gu Qingyi's puzzled face and frowned.
As the Empress Dowager, what could escape her eyes when what happened inside the palace walls?
If even the mama leading the way had noticed, how could the empress dowager not know? Gu Qingyi didn't believe him at all.
However, he had to do the entire act. Since she acted as if she didn't know, then he might as well act as if she didn't know anything.
