Of course, Gu Qingyi was no fool.

Although the Empress Dowager was polite to herself, she would never really treat the Empress Dowager as an ordinary grandmother.

A normal family's grandmother did not have the power to kill or kill; even if she was angry, she would at most scold him a few times. However, his "grandmother" was different. If he accidentally provoked her, the consequences would be unbearable for him. When he was of no threat to her and did not cause her any trouble, he would continue to brush away the bit of affection left behind by his mother and would be able to obtain her happiness. But if he really did touch upon her bottom line …

"What?" You little girl … "How dare you …"

Her eyes were wide open as the empress dowager's expression darkened, her tone turning exceptionally solemn.

Instantly, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by a few degrees …

"Calm your anger, empress dowager!"

"Master, please calm your anger!"

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, please calm your anger!"

As expected of the emperor's mother, her aura really wasn't covered up. Her usual amiable appearance really made her look like an amiable old man.

All of the palace maids and senior servants immediately fell to their knees.

Only Gu Qingyi knelt on the ground, but kept her straight back as she met Esteemed Empress Dowager's gaze without fear.

"Bow your head! Hurry up and plead with your master!" Su mama, who was the closest to Gu Qingyi, hurriedly lowered her voice and warned her with a low voice when she saw Gu Qingyi's confused expression.

Even though she'd followed the empress dowager ever since she was young, accompanying her all the way until now, she could be considered the person in the palace who understood the empress dowager the best. Originally, she felt that the empress dowager treated this girl differently, but … But after all, she was no longer the young lady who was playing around with him. She was now the most respected woman, and her authority could not be touched.

Even she didn't dare to easily touch it.

"Huh?"

Gu Qingyi was moved beyond words by Su mama's reminder.

She was well aware of Shu's silent identity. Even if she was by the side of the emperor, she still had some face. If one were to say who the empress dowager trusted the most, then it would undoubtedly be Su mama. It wasn't that she hadn't thought of getting Su mama's help. To her, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. However, she understood even more in her heart that the more trusted someone was, the harder it was for them to be moved. Therefore, she had completely given up on this idea from the start, and only treated her with a little more respect. She hadn't thought that everyone would be in danger under such circumstances. She still remembered to remind herself.

But...

"Grandma?" What did you say? "

But she couldn't!

No, she couldn't!

Thus, she only innocently looked at Su mama before quickly sweeping a glance at the Heavenly Queen. Then she carefully shifted her body, thinking she could avoid the empress dowager's line of sight this way.

"Kowtow …"

How could Su mama have imagined that the normally clever girl would actually drop the chain at such a critical moment? Moreover, she had even asked her own question in such an open and aboveboard manner. If not for the current situation, she would have been tempted to find a piece of tofu and smash it to death. However, things had already gotten to this point. No matter how depressed she was, she could only lower her voice once again …

She prayed that the heavens would take care of her, but Esteemed Empress Dowager hadn't heard.

Unfortunately, the heavens were probably too busy to hear her prayers.

She had just opened her mouth when a cold rebuke came from above her head.

"Su mama!"

"This old servant deserves to die, this old servant deserves to die!"

Su mama trembled slightly and quickly kowtowed, admitting her wrongs.

But...

"Damn it? Why should Su mama die? Had Su mama done something wrong? Grandma, don't! Su mama is a good person. Apart from grandma and daddy, Su mama is the person who treats Qing Yi the best. Su mama is a good person.
