Su mama nodded and obediently retreated behind Gu Qingyi. She lowered her head and followed Gu Qingyi's gaze, as if nothing had happened.
However, if one were to pay attention, one would notice a trace of gratefulness flashing through the eyes of the emotionless old well.
Yes, gratitude.
As a servant, she had dedicated her entire life to her master. Ever since she was young, she had served by her master's side and accompanied her into the palace. They had experienced all sorts of struggles and covert struggles within the palace, and many times she had almost lost her life. Until now, his master had become the most respected woman in the world, and he, as a servant, had also received the highest honor a servant could have.
However …
This was the first time.
This was the first time someone protected him, not for his face, not for charity, but just because he was himself.
"Royal father, your daughter has been living in the outside world since she was young. She doesn't understand the rules and knows that as a person's son and daughter, they shouldn't ask about matters in the elder's room. "But Esteemed Empress Dowager was the one assigned Su mama to teach her daughter the rules. I never thought that she'd encounter such a ruckus as soon as she entered the gates. I wonder what father thinks we should do with this matter?" With a cold expression, Gu Qingyi stared unblinkingly at Gu Yinian, not even sparing Feng Yue a glance from start to finish.
Gu Yinian was also keenly aware that his daughter had changed her way of addressing him.
He didn't know if it was because he had been stuck in this world since he was a child, but this daughter didn't call him father like her son and adopted daughter, but rather her father always called him father. Although he felt that it was a bit inappropriate, he didn't stop her.
But now …
A pair of clear eyes stared at her with anger. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
It seemed like … It was as if there was a pair of eyes like that many years ago, and they were staring at him, "If you like her, then I, the princess, will grant your wish. You guys … "Why must all of you be so deceitful …"
That year, after losing her child, she had cried every day. In just a year, it was as if she had been sucked dry, and her appearance withered.
That was the last time she spoke to herself, and after that she never looked at herself again.
"I... "I …"
His heart ached. It was a heart-wrenching pain. He had been torturing himself every night for the past few years.
If you can... If he could repeat himself, would he still do such a thing?
He asked himself again and again, but each time …
"Since you have made things difficult for royal father … "Hehe, then your daughter won't ask anymore. Su mama, let's go …"
As expected, he had still underestimated the position that Lian Feng Yue occupied in his heart. Gu Qingyi sneered as she turned around and pulled Su mama's hand as she walked out of the Wutong Courtyard. As she walked, she said, "It was Qingyi's incompetence that caused this mama to suffer. He didn't expect that his grandmother's good intentions, which would allow the mama to teach Qing Yi, would bring such a disaster upon the mama. If my grandmother and uncle, the Emperor, were to find out, I would not know how to blame Qingyi. However, Senior Servant can relax, when I see Master, Qingyi will definitely send Senior Servant back to the palace and personally apologize to Grandmother. "
Gu Qingyi's voice was not soft, so everyone in the Wutong Courtyard could hear her clearly.
Was he unwilling to part with Feng Yue?
She didn't care!
Regardless of whether she was willing or not, she definitely wouldn't let Feng Yue off. She didn't have the ability herself, so she didn't mind borrowing the pressure from the empress dowager and emperor.
If you can't bear to punish her, then let the Empress Dowager and the Emperor decide.
