Ah Yu was not afraid of this Qing Ye at all and said directly, “Empress Dowager, 1 really think that you’re very similar to my Grandma. Although everyone says that my Grandma speaks very loudly and her words are not pleasant to the ears, and she always likes to hit people, I think that my Grandma is the person with the best etiquette and the gentlest person in the world.” The Empress Dowager snorted casually. “If I were really like your Grandma, you would have been dragged out to be beaten up now.”
“That’s not what I meant. Aiya, Empress Dowager, if you can meet my Grandma, I think you’ll know what 1 mean.” This was also a thought that suddenly surfaced in Ah Yu’s mind. The main reason was that when she saw this Empress Dowager, she felt from the bottom of her heart that the Empress Dowager might be able to become friends with Grandma.
Just like how everyone in the village said that Grandma and Third Aunt Hu did not get along, in Ah Yu’s opinion, they were the people who understood each other the best in the village.
Not only did she understand the other party, but she was also very concerned about her!
The Empress Dowager snorted again. “I don’t believe it.”
Ah Yu did not hold on to this thought. Instead, seeing that she had raised the Empress Dowager’s interest, she stood up again and pulled Qin Huai back.
She patted Qin Huai’s shoulder and introduced him to the Empress Dowager again. “Empress Dowager, I was too busy chatting with you and haven’t introduced him to you. He’s—”
“I know. Didn’t you say it yourself? Qin Huai, the kid from the Qin Family in Wanning City.” The Empress Dowager rolled her eyes calmly. “Do you really think I’m old and can’t even remember such a small matter?”
Ah Yu said, “No, no. What I want to say is that he’s my fiance.”
The Empress Dowager: “Cough, cough, cough—”
“Your Highness!” Seeing the Empress Dowager cough, Qing Ye hurriedly went to calm her down. She was about to leave the boat to look for medicine for the Empress Dowager.
On the other side, Ah Yu had already let go of Qin Huai’s arm and brought over sweet tea from her table. She secretly asked Meatbail to change the sweet tea inside to the Myriad Spirit Holy Water that did not cause diarrhea.
“Empress Dowager, drink some water.” As Ah Yu spoke, she brought the teacup to the Empress Dowager’s mouth without any explanation. Before Qing Ye could stop her, she poured the entire cup into the Empress Dowager’s mouth.
The Empress Dowager’s eyes widened. She originally wanted to spit out the water, but because she was too frightened, she swallowed it.
“How dare you give the teacup you drank to the Empress Dowager!” Qing Ye wanted to grab Ah Yu.
“Stop.” The Empress Dowager felt an indescribable comfort in her chest. Soon, that comfort spread from her throat to her entire body, as if a pair of invisible hands were soothing her aching meridians.
The Empress Dowager waved her hand. “Qing Ye, go down first. You’re not allowed to enter without my orders. In addition, guard the surroundings and don’t let anyone approach, including the Empress’s people.”
Qing Ye glanced at All Yu and said reluctantly, “Yes.”
After she left, the Empress Dowager waved at Ah Yu. “Child, come over.”
Ah Yu dawdled over. “Your Highness, it was an emergency just now. I didn’t have time to get you a new cup.”
It was not because the Empress Dowager had choked on her saliva, but because Meatbail had told her that the Empress Dowager’s health points had quickly decreased just now. It was as if something in her body had been triggered by the cough. Seeing that she was about to die, All Yu hurriedly poured the water.
After pouring water into the Empress Dowager’s mouth, Ah Yu belatedly handed over the cup she had drunk.
The people in the palace were all very particular. They probably despised her very much. Moreover, she had already chatted with the Empress Dowager for many hours.
“It’s fine. 1 don’t blame you. Fortunately, you saved me just now. Otherwise, I would really have choked. At that time, I would really make a fool of myself.”
The Empress Dowager could even imagine how angry the historical records officials would be if they were informed that she choked to death on her saliva.
The lights on the boat were very bright. The Empress Dowager looked at Ah Yu’s face even more carefully. She vaguely felt that Ah Yu looked like someone in her memory, but she could not remember who she looked like.
“Good child, you just saved me. Naturally, I have to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?”
Actually, even if Ah Yu had not made a move just now, the Empress Dowager already liked Ah Yu a little. This child had chatted with her for so long and was probably already tired. However, she was still holding on. She definitely had something to ask of her.
The Empress Dowager had never been afraid of others asking for anything from her. She was more afraid of those people who looked like they had no desires, approaching her and not exposing their true motives. That was the most terrifying thing.
Ah Yu said, “I just want to ask Empress Dowager to tell me a story because I heard that only Empress Dowager knows this story. However, before I ask, I hope that Empress Dowager can forgive me and not fuss about the questions I ask later.”
The Empress Dowager’s expression changed. She seemed to be able to predict what kind of question All Yu would ask.
In this world, what was it that only she knew and no one else knew?
It was nothing more than those old memories.
“It’s getting late. A good child should rest early to grow taller. Stay with me today. I’ll invite someone to inform the Emperor.” The Empress Dowager avoided Ah Yu’s question.
Originally, when they arrived at the Imperial Garden, the sky was already dark. However, because the Imperial Garden was brightly lit, she could see clearly.
When they arrived at the man-made lake, the lights here were even brighter than in the imperial garden.
After chatting for more than two hours, the Empress Dowager actually did not say that she was tired. Ah Yu had already slept and did not feel sleepy.
Ah Yu shook her head and said, “Empress Dowager, it’s precisely because it’s getting late that I have to know more quickly. Otherwise, Big Brother All You won’t be able to wait anymore. If you don’t want to tell me, I’ll go and ask someone else. I heard that there’s another person in the palace who knows.”
The Empress Dowager smiled, but it was unknown if she was angry or if she felt that she was being threatened. “You little girl, you look young, but your thoughts are quite deep. What do you want to ask? I’ll tell you what I know, but you have to remember it well. After listening to this story, the matter of you saving me will be written off. You can’t ask for any other rewards.”
Ah Yu: “Of course. I’m not a greedy person. I just want to know this one thing. So, Empress Dowager, can you tell me about the Shared Fate Gu?”
Hearing the words “Shared Fate Gu”, the Empress Dowager’s expression immediately changed. Then, she looked at Qin Huai, who was present.
“You were poisoned by the Shared Fate Gu? When was it planted? Who planted it for you?”
“This is the answer we’re looking for, Empress Dowager. Now, we need you to provide us with the clues before we can understand the rest. Tell me what happened after this story. Please, this is very important to us.”
The Empress Dowager’s expression changed. In the end, she nodded, indicating that she was willing to speak..
