C107

Today, the capital city was bustling with noise and excitement. Almost the entire capital city had sent people to surround the city gate, making it impenetrable.

On the city wall, all the nobles had arrived.

The emperor and empress dowager looked at each other, and when they saw that it was about time, they immediately announced, "Today is the day Prince Gu and his daughter Gu Qingyi are blood related. This is related to the imperial family's face, and the imperial bloodline cannot be confused.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

"Long live the empress dowager! Long live the empress dowager!"

The crowd kneeled down, just like a tide. Gu Qingyi followed behind Gu Yinian, and they kneeled down at the very front.

Although the emperor and empress dowager seemed very calm on the surface, there was still some worry in their eyes. Even Prince Gu, who had risked his life countless times on the battlefield, couldn't help but worry. Only Gu Qingyi maintained a faint smile from start to finish, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.

And she was just a person who came to see the play.

She even seemed calmer than the audience.

"Qingyi, are you ready?"

Esteemed Empress Dowager looked benevolently at Ninth Madame, smiling and beckoning her over.

Gu Qingyi slowly rose to her feet and lightly nodded her head. She slowly walked towards the empress dowager, knelt down obediently by her side, and gently pulled her large hand. With a smile, she said, "To reply esteemed empress dowager, Qingyi is already prepared."

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, her clear eyes shining brightly. Gu Qingyi didn't fear the empress dowager in the slightest.

Although the empress dowager had a faint smile on her face, she could still see a hint of indifference in her smile.

She knew very well in her heart that this test was of the utmost importance to her. Even though the Empress Mother seemed to be treating her well, and she had secretly asked herself to call her grandmother, what kind of honor was that?

However, Gu Qingyi wasn't blinded by the empress dowager's pampering. She knew clearly in her heart that a woman who could sit in this position definitely wasn't simple. She could pamper herself into the air and hold herself up very easily, but she could also easily pinch herself into the mud.

There was no such thing as an inexplicable favor or a free lunch in this world. He had spent his last life in exchange for it all with his blood. He didn't understand it until the day he died.

Pet was something that only existed when he wasn't a threat to her, or when his existence was useful to her.

The empress dowager only doted on her because of her mother. It was because she still doted on her mother a little, or it could be said that … Or perhaps it could be said that he felt guilty towards his mother …

That was why she treated him so well. She only wanted to make up for it with her own body, to make herself feel better.

If … [If I don't have the status of a princess' daughter, I am afraid …]

Heh heh, the first person who wanted to kill him was none other than this gracious grandmother in front of him.

Without this identity, without this blood relationship, he would soon be a sacrifice in her hands … At that time, he would become her sacrifice to comfort his lost daughter …

"Nervous?"

The empress dowager squeezed Gu Qingyi's small hand with a faint smile still on her face as she asked in a low voice.

He looked like an elder who was concerned about a junior.
