Gu Yanfei subconsciously touched the compass hidden in her sleeve, but she immediately remembered that her compass was broken. She regretfully stopped and could only stroke her sleeve.
“Empress Dowager, may I ask what you want me to calculate?” Gu Yanfei stared into Empress Dowager Yuan’s eyes and smiled.
Empress Dowager Yuan met Gu Yanfei’s eyes steadily. A graceful and noble smile appeared on her face, but her eyes were cold.
Her right hand gently rubbed against a small gilded stove. Her fair and tender fingers were well-maintained, as delicate and flawless as an 18-year-old girl’s.
After a long silence, Empress Dowager Yuan said, “Then… how about you calculate how the Emperor’s dragon body is?”
Her voice was neutral, neither angry nor angry. It was impossible to tell if she was happy or angry.
After this sentence, everyone fell silent.
The atmosphere suddenly tensed, and even the sound of breathing seemed to quieten.
Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin frowned and exchanged glances.
…..
This was undoubtedly a trap.
Everyone in the capital knew that the Emperor was weak and sickly. He would fall sick every three to five days. From time to time, the imperial physician would take his pulse, and the smell of medicine in the bedroom was so strong that it wouldn’t go away. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it smelled like a medicine jar.
However, if Gu Yanfei really answered like this, what did it have to do with whether she knew how to read fortunes?!
It was obvious that the Empress Dowager would definitely not be satisfied. She could even take the opportunity to accuse Gu Yanfei of playing with her.
“Let me calculate…” Gu Yanfei raised her right hand calmly and pinched her knuckles twice.
This simple action carried a hint of mystery.
When her thumb touched her middle finger, the casual smile on her lips froze…
Everyone’s gaze fell on her beautiful and slender fingers, and no one noticed her momentary loss of composure.
Gu Yanfei retracted her hand, and her wide sleeve fell like butterfly wings. A stream of light flashed across her eyes, and she smiled.
She turned her head to the side and smiled at Empress Dowager Yuan, who was on the kang bed. She said in relief, “The heavens have blessed the dynasty. The sun, moon, mountains, and rivers will always exist.”
“His Majesty is healthy.”
Empress Dowager Yuan’s smile froze.
Not only Empress Dowager Yuan, but the others around her also didn’t expect Gu Yanfei to answer like this and were stunned again.
The surroundings were even quieter, and even the rustling of the snow hitting the glass window outside could be heard.
After a moment of shock, Empress Dowager Yuan smiled again, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. Her back remained straight.
She raised her chin slightly and reprimanded her arrogantly, “Second Lady Gu, do you know that talking nonsense in front of me is a crime of deception?
Empress Dowager Yuan talked slowly, and every word was laced with the invisible pressure of a superior.
These few words were like a knife placed high on Gu Yanfei’s neck. Even if she didn’t want Gu Yanfei’s life, she could still cut off a piece of her flesh.
Yu Chaoyun elegantly stroked her sleeve. A faint fragrance wafted out of the fragrant ball hidden in her sleeve.
When she received the Empress Dowager’s oral order, Aunt had carefully analyzed the Empress Dowager’s intentions with her and reminded her.
Aunt said that the Empress Dowager must have summoned them to the palace to choose a consort for the Eldest Prince.
Aunt also said that she had asked her to come to the capital from Yuzhou for the position of the Eldest Princess Consort. She instructed her to be neither servile nor overbearing in front of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager wouldn’t casually choose the Eldest Princess Consort..
Thinking of this, Yu Chaoyun turned to look at Gu Yanfei, who was sitting diagonally opposite her. Her eyes were like a deep spring that was very cold. There was no doubt that the Eldest Prince treated Gu Yanfei differently.
And she could never be the prince’s secondary consort!
Yu Chaoyun’s fingers gently rubbed the fragrant ball hidden in her sleeve. The burning spices in the fragrant ball warmed her cold fingertips bit by bit.
Gu Yanfei seemed to be straightforward, but she was actually scheming.
The Empress Dowager represented Kang Wang. It was impossible for her to coexist peacefully with the Emperor and his son.
Gu Yanfei was clearly deliberately causing trouble to please the Emperor!
Yu Chaoyun pursed her lips, her expression calm as she sat there without saying a word.
In just a few breaths, the warm atmosphere became even more tense. The temperature, which was originally as warm as spring, suddenly dropped, as if a knife-like cold wind blew through the window.
Meeting Empress Dowager Yuan’s threatening gaze, Gu Yanfei smiled. Her eyes were as clear as water as she asked gently, “Don’t you believe me, Empress Dowager?
Empress Dowager Yuan’s expression darkened.. When had she ever said that she didn’t believe her?!
