“May I ask Nranny Bi Zhu, did Yu’er say a lot of good things about me in front of the empress dowager?” Gu Qingxue asked curiously.

Hearing this, Nanny Bi Zhu revealed an awkward expression, “This…”

Gu Qingxue lowered her voice and said, “Nanny Bi Zhu, I’m just an ordinary woman. I’ve suddenly entered the palace and become an official. I’m already terrified. Now that the empress dowager is taking care of me, I don’t know how to deal with it. Please have mercy.”

Gu Qingxue’s every word was filled with sincerity. After Nanny Bi Zhu looked at Gu Qingxue deeply, she could not reject her in the end. She nodded and said, “After the princess returned to the palace, she did say a lot of good things to the empress dowager. But you can rest assured, our princess is saying good things. The empress dowager likes Doctor Gu and it is from the bottom of her heart.”

“I naturally know that the sixth princess has good intentions, but why does the empress dowager keep asking me about His Royal Highness? “Gu Qingxue asked the most crucial question.

Nanny Bi Zhu saw Gu Qingxue’s confused expression and answered, “Because, the sixth princess said that His Royal Highness and Doctor Gu are in love with each other. I won’t hide it from you, but the empress dowager has always been concerned about His Royal Highness’ marriage and will naturally ask a few questions.”

After Gu Qingxue heard this, her entire being was in a mess.

When did she and Rong Zhan fall in love?

“Nanny, you’ve all misunderstood. There is nothing between me and His Royal Highness.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she rubbed her brows, feeling a slight headache.

“So what the sixth princess mentioned is…” Nanny Bi Zhu probed carefully.

“The sixth princess misunderstood. Although my husband died on the battlefield, my heart and soul are devoted to him, and I have no intention of remarrying.” Gu Qingxue’s attitude was very firm, and she said this firmly.

These words were indeed from the bottom of her heart.

The waters of the prince regent’s residence were too deep, and she did not want to be involved.

Thinking of Rong Zhan, Gu Qingxue’s heart wavered, but she soon regained her calm expression.

Nanny Bi Zhu saw that Gu Qingxue was so calm from the beginning to the end, and she started to worry.

This was bad. Did they really misunderstand that there was actually nothing between Doctor Gu and His Royal Highness?

Just as Nanny Bi Zhu was feeling depressed, Gu Qingxue had already changed her clothes and left the back hall on her own accord, heading towards the main hall.

Nanny Bi Zhu’s face was filled with worry as she followed closely behind Gu Qingxue.

This time, when Gu Qingxue returned, the empress dowager finally stopped talking about Rong Zhan.

In the end, the empress dowager asked a lot about the plague in the village.

Gu Qingxue did not hold anything back and answered the empress dowager’s questions.

When the empress dowager heard Gu Qingxue’s answer, she was more and more satisfied with her. In the end, after lunch, she even had Gong Lingyu take Gu Qingxue back to the princess’s Manor. She gave an imperial decree, allowing Gu Qingxue to stay with her family in the princess’s Manor until the residence the Emperor had given her was settled.

Gu Qingxue thanked him and left Fengkang Palace with Gong Lingyu.

On the way out of the palace, Gu Qingxue glanced at Gong Lingyu from the corner of her eyes several times.

Gong Lingyu quietly avoided his gaze and tried her best to force a smile. “Sister Gu, why do you keep looking at me?”

“I just wanted to ask you, do you know why the empress dowager likes me so much?” Gu Qingxue asked curiously.

Gong Lingyu’s heart tightened, but she quickly shook her head. “I, I don’t know…”
