The old nanny was dressed in an extraordinary manner. She reached out her withered hand to touch the gold hairpin on her head. “Doctor Gu must be joking. This old servant is only following orders.”

Gu Qingxue adjusted the rabbit fur scarf around her neck and said indifferently, “Nanny, you’ve brought so many palace maids and eunuchs standing on the road without retreating or advancing, so there must be a purpose.”

The old woman snorted coldly and saluted Gu Qingxue perfunctorily. “This old servant is the empress’ old servant, Nanny Rui. Today, I’ve come under the empress’ orders to you to the Feneling Palace for Questioning.”

Qin Yun moved to Gu Qingxue’s side with a worried expression and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Eldest Miss, don’t believe the words of this old maidservant. They’re waiting here with their flags and banners raised, they definitely don’t have good intentions. Plus, you’ve also offended the empress before, this servant is afraid

“Is there anything that you can’t say? If people who don’t know what’s going on saw this, they’d think that there’s something shameful going on and that you’re afraid that others would find out!” Nanny Rui took the opportunity to mock Gu Qingxue.

“Nanny, aren’t your words a little too unpleasant?!” Qin Yun retorted in dissatisfaction, her face turning red from the provocation.

However, Nanny Rui did not even spare a glance at Qin Yun. “Doctor Gu, the empress has been waiting for you for a long time. Please.”

“Then I will trouble you to lead the way.” Gu Qingxue nodded indifferently.

“Miss, how could you agree to her request?” Qin Yun tugged at Gu Qingxue’s arm nervously.

Gu Qingxue shook her head, signaling for Qin Yun to calm down. She then calmly followed Nanny Rui and headed straight for Fengling Palace.

After a while, Gu Qingxue followed Nanny Rui to Fengling Palace.

Nanny Rui stood outside the door and said loudly, “Your Majesty, Doctor Gu has come to pay her respects to you.”

“l have yet to dress up, let Doctor Gu wait patiently at the door.” The empress’s voice, with a hidden smile, came from the palace.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qin Yun almost died from anger when she heard this.

The winter morning was the coldest, and the empress still made their Eldest Miss wait outside the door. She was clearly making things difficult for their Eldest Miss. right?

Gu Qingxue said unhurriedly, “The empress asked this official to wait, so this official has to comply. However, His Majesty has summoned this official to the palace today. If His Majesty doesn’t see this official after the court session, I ask the empress to help this official explain. This official is not deliberately delaying and neglecting His Majesty.”

Gu Qingxue had just said the words ‘neglect His Majesty when the empress in the hall immediately fell silent.

Nanny Rui’s expression was also displeased. Her cold and sharp gaze swept towards Gu Qingxue’s direction. “Does Doctor Gu mean that the empress has deliberately neglected His Majesty?! ”

Gu Qingxue was calm and composed, completely disregarding Nanny Rui. “I’m just telling the truth.”

Nanny Rui was speechless, and the voice of a palace maid finally came from the palace, “The empress has finished dressing up. Please invite Doctor Gu in.”

The smile on Gu Qingxue’s lips deepened a little after she heard that. Then, she slowly walked into the Fengling Palace.

She saw the empress wearing a crimson phoenix robe. She was sitting in the main seat with her hair and makeup neatly arranged. Her gaze was as cold as ice.

Gu Qingxue’s expression remained the same as she nodded at the empress. “This official pays her respects to the empress.”

“Doctor Gu, this is the empress. You should kneel to her. ” The female official beside the empress said with an unhappy expression..
