The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again! - Chapter 239

239 How Could a Widow Be Worthy to Compete With Me?

Upon hearing the name ‘Cao Duo’, Gong Lingyu’s gaze trembled. “Thank you for the princess’ suggestion, but I don’t think it’s necessary.”

The empress dowager pulled Gong Lingyu’s hand. “Why not? She used to be by your mother’s side, so I can be at ease with her by my side. Little Six, be obedient. Once you cure your illness, I won’t have any worries anymore.”

Seeing the empress dowager touch her own head with a face full of affection as she spoke, Gong Lingyu could not find the words to say even if she had a thousand words. She could only silently nod her head in agreement. “Yes, I will follow the arrangements of the imperial grandmother.”

Princess Liuying silently observed all of this. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she took the initiative to take her to leave.

When she walked out of the Fengkang Palace’s gates, Princess Liuying had her maidservant put on a cloak for her. She glanced at Cao Duo who was waiting outside the palace gates.

“Mother Cao, as a trusted aide of Madam Gong in the past, doesn’t seem to be liked by the sixth princess.” Princess Liuying saw that Cao Duo was in her forties, yet she was still dressed like a rough old woman, she knew that she was in a bad situation by Gong Lingyu’s side.

Naturally, she had also investigated this early on, which was why she had deliberately recommended Cao Duo.

Cao Duo still did not know what had happened in the palace, so she gritted her teeth unwillingly. “Thank you for your concern, princess.”

“Mother Cao, my princess does indeed care for you. Just now, she recommended you go out with the sixth princess to treat her illness. She also asked you to take care of the princess’ daily life.” The maid beside Princess Liuying smiled as she handed a heavy purse to Cao Duo. “The princess has always admired the sixth princess. When the time is right, I would like to trouble Mother Cao to help me with some matters for our princess…”

Cao Duo did not expect happiness to come so suddenly. After taking the purse, she squeezed out a fawning smile and said, “Princess, don’t worry. As long as it is your order, I will not say a word!”

“This matter ends here and can not be made public.” Princess Liuying raised her index finger to her lips. After seeing Cao Duo nod, she smiled gently and left in large strides.

After leaving the palace and getting into the carriage, Princess Liuying opened the curtain of the carriage and glanced at the person in the carriage.

The act of getting into the carriage paused for a moment. After Princess Liuying got into the carriage, she sat opposite the person in the carriage.

She saw that Madam Kou, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, had been waiting for her in the carriage for a long time. The corners of her lips curled up into a smile as she bowed respectfully. “Princess, you’ve worked hard. I wonder what the result will be?”

Princess Liuying was full of confidence, she smiled and said, “Everything is going well. Don’t worry, Eldest Madam. Even Cao Duo, who is by the sixth princess’ side, is mine. When the sixth princess sees Gu Qingxue, I will make Gu Qingxue pay the price.”

“The sixth princess is the adopted daughter of the emperor and the most beloved princess of the empress dowager. If anything happens to her because of Gu Qingxue, neither the emperor nor the empress dowager will let it go. When the time comes, without Gu Qingxue, you will have a chance to get what you want and marry the prince regent,” said Madam Kou.

When Princess Liuying heard this, a look of unconcealable yearning rose in her eyes, “How can a widow compete with me? It was thanks to you that you told me about Gu Qingxue and the prince regent’s concern that I could come up with a plan. When I become the princess regent in the future, I will naturally remember you and the good news of the Gu family. You can rest assured and go back and wait for my good news.”
