Chapter 220: Li Pin is Shocked

Chapter 220

Consort Li looked at this person, her mind thunderstruck!

She, she finally remembered, wasn't this the fake Grandma Gu that the dog emperor had found to impersonate her? How did this impostor suddenly appear in Xuyang Palace?

No, that's not right!!!

This fake grandmother couldn't possibly move freely within the palace, because this was Pei Changying's trump card to threaten Gu Sang! She was the key figure to make Gu Sang turn against him in the end!

With so many eyes in the harem, how could they allow this trump card to be exposed to everyone like this?

Moreover, this grandmother's demeanor was vastly different from the fake one, and she didn't look exactly the same, only about 80-90% similar!

So who was this person before her eyes?

"Child, why is your face so pale? You're trembling?"

"Are you feeling unwell?" The old lady quickly noticed Consort Li's shaking body, stepped forward, and placed her warm hand on Consort Li's forehead.

"You're breaking out in a cold sweat. Come, let me take you to the hospital."

Consort Li suddenly grabbed her hand with lightning speed, her body shaking uncontrollably, this time not from pain, but from excitement!

She stared intently at the old lady, asking with an uncertain tone: "Are... are you Gu Sang's grandmother?"

"You know my little Sang?"

Consort Li's pupils contracted nervously, she gazed deeply at the old woman before her with a scrutinizing look.

The smile was warm and kind, clearly a good-hearted old grandmother at first glance.

Consort Li believed her a little more. The person before her was somewhat different from the impersonator. The fake one was ultimately false, with a smile that seemed deliberately imitated and thus insincere, lacking the authenticity of the old lady before her.

And then there was that settled aura of kindness, the composure of someone who had weathered the years yet maintained a benevolent heart!

However, why would Gu Sang's grandmother be here?

Before she could ask, the voice of a eunuch came from outside.

Consort Li nervously grabbed Grandma Gu's hand and said, "Grandma Gu, please hide inside and don't come out, no matter what happens."

"Please trust me, I'll find a way to contact Gu Sang."

"Now, you absolutely must not make a sound, otherwise, I can't protect you."

"Alright."

Although Grandma Gu didn't know what was happening, she had a sense of impending crisis and was willing to trust the girl before her.

From Gu Sang's live streaming of the future to the dog emperor finding someone to impersonate her grandmother.

Grandma Gu's reaction went from initial shock to sudden realization, and finally, she grasped Consort Li's hand with sympathy, telling her to lie back down and rest: "I never imagined it was like this, sigh."

"You've suffered so much, young lady. At such a young age, you've already entered the palace as a consort."

"And to endure such torment."

"You were having menstrual cramps earlier, right? Here, lie down first. I'll teach you a trick. When it hurts and you don't have hot water to place on your abdomen, just use your hands to generate heat, then place them on your belly."

Seeing Grandma Gu rubbing her hands to warm them up and then massaging her stomach, Consort Li was moved to tears.

It had been so long since she had felt such warmth.

Gu Sang was so fortunate to have such a kind and caring grandmother...

Were all relatives in the future world so warm?

Consort Li truly envied her.

When the pain had subsided a little, Consort Li got up, urged Grandma Gu to eat, and cautioned her not to let anyone discover her presence here, or else she might become leverage for the dog emperor to threaten Gu Sang.

Hearing that it could cause trouble for Gu Sang, Grandma Gu immediately nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, young lady. I absolutely won't go out."

Consort Li grasped Grandma Gu's hands, making a silent vow: "Alright, although I'm not very capable, I will do my utmost to protect you. You are the person Sister Gu cares about most."

She was determined to find a way to send Grandma Gu out of here.

Otherwise, staying here long-term was too dangerous.

Who knew when the dog emperor might go mad and come here? If Pei Changying discovered Grandma Gu's existence, the consequences would be unimaginable!

After Mountain City fell, the people lined the streets to welcome the victors. Soon after, the Princess Royal's army arrived at South City.

Gu Sang was also closely following the battle situation. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Thinking that the dog emperor would soon be deposed, she felt extremely elated!

However, no one had anticipated that the current Emperor would be standing on the city walls of South City. He had actually led the troops in person.

Pei Changying, clad in golden armor, cast a cold sidelong glance at the Princess Royal, then turned his gaze directly to Gu Sang on the screen beside her.

Pei Changying was quite handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and star-bright eyes, standing out among the soldiers.

Especially that golden armor, which glinted so brightly in the sunlight that it was almost blinding.

"My Imperial Concubine, I never imagined we would meet again under such circumstances." The Emperor stood high on the city wall, speaking with a mocking smile.
