Relying on her young age and the fact that she had been left behind since childhood, Gu Qingyi's tears and snot flowed down her face.

When it was time to leave the palace, her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Even the usually noble empress dowager had tears and snot all over her body, but what was unexpected was that the empress dowager didn't get angry and instead left Gu Qingyi behind with a precious baby. Gu Yinian was worried, and the empress dowager even sent someone to deliver a letter to Gu Yinian.

The empress dowager had finally met her long-lost granddaughter, and she felt reluctant to part with her. She wanted her to stay at the palace and play for a few more days.

As for how many days it was, he had no clue …

"Sigh, that time, Master really did use deadly means. My palm has even turned into a steamed bun."

There was a thick blanket on the ground. Gu Qingyi sat sideways on the ground with half her body leaning on the empress dowager as she talked about her life with her.

Actually...

Her so-called past, in the eyes of the empress dowager and the others, was only 10 days or half a month, but to her, it had been a lifetime.

As she continued talking, she couldn't help but sigh, "However, it was also for my own good. "What's so special about practicing medicine and treating illnesses? If there's anything else you can do, then that's fine. But if the medicine is taken out of your mouth, then that's a matter of life and death."

Master had told her that.

No, it should be said that the master had been whispering in her ear for many years.

However, in her previous life, she didn't really understand, especially after she came back, she completely lost contact with her master. In order to be a qualified young mistress of the Royal Mansion, she put in great efforts to put herself in the frame and tried to become like those dainty young mistresses in the capital. The things he had learned from his master slowly became useless …

"Sigh, your master really has the heart to do this. He's only a child so how old is he? Seriously …" "Really …"

Even though the empress dowager was an exalted empress dowager who stood above everyone else, she'd been trapped within this place all her life. She'd never seen the outside world before. For the past few days, she had been really engrossed in Gu Qingyi's stories …

In the beginning, Gu Qingyi had brought up her master when she had nothing to do, but every time she brought it up, her eyes would fill with tears. A woman as lofty as her, what kind of scenes had she not seen before? What kind of things had she not experienced before? The only thing that she had not experienced was true love … To her, it was the most precious thing in the world.

This was what Gu Qingyi had been aiming for.

However, after listening to Gu Qingyi talk about it a few times, if Gu Qingyi didn't say it one day, she would feel uncomfortable all over. Holding Gu Qingyi's hand, the empress dowager carefully sized her up. Although she had already been back for half a month, even the Imperial Aunt was the head of the household, and Gu Yinian was a man, so he naturally wouldn't pay attention to the details.

For example …

Because she had been following her master deep in the mountains all year round, although her small hands were slender, their palms were full of calluses, and her skin was much darker than an ordinary girl's.

"Look at this small hand. That master of yours is also ruthless. Even if he was taught, he would still …" "No matter what, he's still a girl …"

As she stroked the calluses on Gu Qingyi's palms, the empress dowager's tears fell again. Her heart ached.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyi laughed without a care, but instead comforted the empress dowager, "What's wrong with that? Master said that one has to become a superior after suffering through hardships, not to mention that learning medicine is already difficult. Otherwise, where else would there be a canteen to save the world and treat the sick?"

Withdrawing his hand, his little face was slightly raised, with a complacent smile still hanging on it. There were two faint dimples on his cheeks.
