421 You’re All My Treasure

“Good morning, nanny.” Gu Qingxue nodded in greeting.

Nanny Bi Zhu looked at Gu Qingxue and said, “Doctor Gu, you’re too polite. The empress dowager is grateful to Doctor Gu for solving the plague problem and specially asked this old servant to invite Doctor Gu to come to Fengkang Palace for a gathering.”

“If that’s the case, then go.” Rong Zhan glanced at Gu Qingxue as he spoke.

Gu Qingxue saw Nanny Bi Zhu looking at her and Rong Zhan with an inexplicable smile.

Gu Qingxue furrowed her brows in confusion. She could not understand why Nanny Bi Zhu would reveal such a motherly smile.

Nanny Bi Zhu quickly retracted her gaze and made a welcoming gesture to the two, “This way, please.”

Gu Qingxue followed Rong Zhan and walked side by side in the direction of the Fengkang Palace.

A moment later, at Fengkang Palace.

Nanny Bi Zhu had just lifted the heavy curtains when Gu Qingxue heard bell-like laughter coming from the hall.

The laughter was very familiar, and it immediately attracted Gu Qingxue’s attention.

She had some vague guesses in her heart. After entering the hall, she looked toward the source of the laughter. Unsurprisingly, she saw Gong Lingyu and the old woman in a golden-red phoenix robe beside Gong Lingyu.

Gong Lingyu sat at the side and whispered something to the old woman, which immediately made the old woman laugh.

“Hahaha, Lil’ Six, you always say such good things to make me happy.” When the old woman looked into Gong Lingyu’s eyes, there was an undispellable doting look.

“Grandmother, I’m not coaxing you,” Gong Lingyu said with a smile. I’ve always been honest.

“Good, you’re the most sweet-tongued one. I just think our Lil’ Six is the best.” As the Old Madam spoke, she reached out and touched Gong Lingyu’s head, her eyes filled with even more love.

When she saw the empress dowager, Gu Qingxue could not help but reach out and touch the jade bracelet on her wrist.

This was the birthday gift that the empress dowager had specially instructed her foster mother to bring to Madam Qi. She also remembered that when her grandmother was clear-headed, she was a good friend of the empress dowager and they talked about everything. The relationship between the two was as good as sisters.

Later, Madam Qi’s mind gradually became less clear. The Gu family and the emperor were worried that the foolish Madam Qi would hurt the empress dowager’s phoenix body, so they stopped them from seeing each other.

Nanny Bi Zhu walked forward with a smile. “Empress dowager, Doctor Gu and His Royal Highness have arrived.”

The empress dowager looked up at Gu Qingxue.

“She really looks exactly like Sister Qi when she was young,” the empress dowager said with a smile.

Nanny Bi Zhu replied with a smile, “The empress dowager is right. Lady Gu also looks somewhat similar to Old Madam Qi when she was young. Speaking of which, Lady Gu is Old Madam Qi’s legitimate granddaughter-in-law after all. Naturally, she looks similar to her grandmother.”

“Good, very good. Xue’er, come to me and let me take a good look at you.” The empress dowager’s kind appearance looked no different from the elders of ordinary families.

The loving glint in her eyes could not be faked, and Gu Qingxue could clearly feel her love for her.

Gu Qingxue’s heart stirred. She walked up to the empress dowager and bowed. “I, Gu Qingxue, pay my respects to the empress dowager.”

“Quickly dispense with the formalities, you’re too polite. You’re Sister Qi’s granddaughter. Just like Lil’ Six, you’re my precious treasure. Nanny Bi Zhu, pass down my orders, in the future when Xue’er walks around the palace, there is no need to bow,” the empress dowager immediately ordered.
