certainly! Gu Yao nodded, "Is it possible that you want to monopolize this carriage?" \"
\"Don't dare, don't dare, please get in the sedan. I'll prepare the carriage right now." Chen Qing quickly bowed and took Gu Yao to his carriage.
\"Miss, have you really decided to enter the palace? If something happens, I can't afford it!" Qingluan looked at her worriedly.
\"No!\" Gu Yao shook her head gently, "Besides, we are just going to the banquet, not to kill people or set fire. What are we afraid of?\"
\"this......\"
\"Okay, don't worry, I'm not a weakling. How can I not even be able to fight against the crown prince of Zhennan Palace?\"
\"Then we have to nip it in the bud! After all..."
\"Okay, I get it!\" Gu Yao waved her hand, interrupting Qingluan, \"Stop talking nonsense and get in the car quickly!\"
After saying that, she had already got on the carriage.
Chen Qing sighed, "Okay!"
After saying that, she opened the curtain and jumped into the carriage.
\"Let's go!\"
The carriage slowly set off and headed outside the capital.
At this time, a luxurious carriage was parked five hundred meters away from the capital.
In the carriage, two men sat in the carriage with heavy expressions.
One of the men in black asked: "Master, do we want to catch up?"
\"No need!\" The man in black shook his head,\"Although that girl is a fool, she is guarded by a white wolf. If she rushes out rashly, she may not succeed! Besides, our goal is Anle County. Lord, if the princess notices something is wrong, the consequences will be disastrous!\"
\"Then let's just forget it?\" The other man was unwilling to give in.
\"This matter is your responsibility. Go and inquire about it and see who she has been interacting with recently!" the man in black ordered.
\"Yes! I obey!" The man took the order and left.
The man in black leaned on the cushions and closed his eyes to rest.
...
Half a month later.
The Gu family mansion.
\"Miss, miss, look, this is the jade pendant given to you by the Queen Mother.\"
\"Queen Mother?\"
Gu Yao looked at the brocade box on the table in surprise. It was carved with exquisite patterns and inlaid with a high-grade spiritual stone.
"Is this a reward from the Queen Mother?" Gu Yao asked uncertainly.
\"Yes!\" Xiaomei nodded excitedly, \"Miss, please put it on and try it!\"
\"Put it on and try it on, you girl, you are making noise!\" Gu Yao picked up the jade bracelet and put it in front of her eyes for a closer look.
This jade bracelet is bright in color, emerald green all over, smooth and delicate to the touch, and has a warm texture. It is an excellent thing!
\"How can I mess with what the Queen Mother has given me!\" Gu Yao handed the jade bracelet to Xiaomei, \"Xiaomei, take it and keep it!\"
\"Miss, aren't you afraid of losing it?\"
\"Am I that stupid?\"
\"Hehe, that's right!\" Xiaomei took the jade bracelet with a smile, \"Then the slave will play with it for the lady!\"
\"good.\"
...
Gu Yao was lowering her head and playing with her jade bracelet. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
She put down the jade bracelet in her hand, "Who is it?"
\"Miss, this is my slave, Xiaomei.\"
\"Xiaomei?\"
\"Yes! I heard that you came home today and came here specially to see you off to the palace.\"
"Send me to the palace?" Gu Yao was surprised, "Why did you suddenly think of sending me to the palace?"
\"This... this slave can't explain clearly...\"
\"Okay, I understand, just wait for me for a while while I change my clothes.\"
\"okay!\"
Gu Yao went back to her room, changed her clothes, freshened up, and walked out.
Gu Yao stood at the door, looking at the familiar figure outside the door, and couldn't help but smile, "Why are you here?"
\"I heard that you entered the palace today, so I came to pick you up!\"
Chen Qing said with a smile: "I have asked someone to prepare the carriage, and we will set off now."
\"Okay." Gu Yao nodded and immediately got on the carriage.
\"Let's go!" Chen Qing waved to the attendant beside him, \"Go to the Royal Garden.\"
\"yes!\"
The carriage drove slowly and soon arrived at the Imperial Garden on the outskirts of Beijing.
\"Miss, please wait here. I'll go down and see how the situation is. If it's okay, we'll go back!\"
\"Yeah." Gu Yao nodded, \"Pay attention to safety on the road.\"
Chen Qing nodded, got out of the car and walked into the Imperial Garden.
In the imperial garden, several noble ladies were chatting.
Seeing her approaching, a lady dressed as a princess immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Miss Chen, can you take a step to speak?"
\"Okay." Chen Qing smiled and nodded, \"Girl, what are your instructions?\"
"It's like this. Our old lady wants to see you. I wonder if it's convenient for Miss Chen now?" The princess said with a smile.
\"Our old lady?" Chen Qing was slightly startled, \"Who is your old lady?\"
\"That's the Queen Mother whom the Emperor respects most!\"
\"It turns out she is the Queen Mother whom the Emperor respects most! Disrespectful, disrespectful!" Chen Qing saluted immediately.
"Ms. Chen's words are serious. We have nothing serious to do! It's just that the Queen Mother wants to meet Miss Chen and catch up on old times!\"
\"Okay, then please Miss Chen come with me." Chen Qing made a gesture of invitation.
\"Thank you!\" The princess smiled slightly.
Chen Qing led the way, and the group arrived at the Imperial Garden.
"Miss Chen, I'm leaving now!\"
\"good!\"
...
After a while, Chen Qing returned to the carriage, still with a faint smile on his face.
\"Miss, are you in trouble?\"
\"Guess." Gu Yao raised her eyebrows.
"Well..." Chen Qing tilted her head in thought. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at Gu Yao, "Could it be that you met the princess?"
\"Yeah, what's wrong?\" Gu Yao blinked in confusion.
Chen Qing frowned, "I always feel that you and the princess look quite similar, but I'm not sure!"
\"Girl, what are you talking about? I don't believe it!\"
\"Miss..." Chen Qing hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and summoned the courage to ask: "Are you the lady?\"
Gu Yao was stunned, "Of course I am not, my surname is Gu!"
\"Then you...\"
\"Do you want to ask me why I look exactly like the emperor's mother-in-law?\" Gu Yao chuckled, reaching out to rub the top of her head, \"Because I am the emperor's biological sister.\"
\"Really? Miss, you are really..." Chen Qing held her arm excitedly.
Gu Yao nodded, "Yes, I am his sister, but for some reason, I was forced to leave my father. So, I don't know him."
When she said this, there was a hint of sadness in her tone, and her eyes revealed even more sadness.
\"Miss, it's all the slave's fault. If it weren't for the slave, you wouldn't have to suffer!" Chen Qing lowered his head, his eyes were red, and tears fell down his cheeks.
Gu Yao sighed softly and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, "Miss Chen, please stop crying."
\"Don't cry, I don't cry!" Chen Qing wiped away the tears on her face, raised her head, and showed a bright and bright smile, \"I will take good care of you in the future!\"
\"I know.\"
\"Miss......\"
"Xiaomei, I'm tired and want to sleep." Gu Yao turned around and closed her eyes to rest.
She didn't know that at this moment, she was like a star that had lost its light, extremely dim and lifeless, as if she had lost all her soul.
There was silence in the carriage.
"Miss..." Xiaomei couldn't help but call out.
\"Xiaomei......\"
\"Miss, my servant is here.\"
\"I am so hungry.\"
\"Uh, miss, what do you want to eat?\"
Gu Yao shook her head, "No need."
\"Okay, then, miss, let's continue on our way?\"
\"Okay.\" Gu Yao responded gently.
The carriage slowly set off.
...
Royal Garden.
As soon as Chen Qing got off the carriage, he saw a group of palace maids and nuns walking towards a beautiful young woman.
The young woman wears a gold silk phoenix robe, a wide purple belt around her waist, and white boots embroidered with peony patterns. Her black hair is pulled into a delicate and gorgeous fringed bun, and a hollow gold hairpin is inserted diagonally in her hair, which makes her skin white as snow. Snow.
\"See the Queen Mother!" Chen Qing knelt down and kowtowed.
\"Free gifts!\"
\"Thank you, Queen Mother." Chen Qing stood up straight.
The Queen Mother walked up to Chen Qing and looked her up and down, "Miss Chen Qing, how have you been these past few years?"
\"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. Everything is fine. Queen Mother is thinking of you.\"
\"Yes.\" The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "Miss Chen Qing, the Ai family has heard that you have been in poor health recently. Do you have any serious illness?\"
\"Reporting to the Queen Mother, this slave is not seriously ill.\"
\"Then the Ai family is relieved! The Ai family invited Miss Chen here this time because they want to ask Miss Chen to help diagnose the Ai family's pulse.\" The Queen Mother said with a smile.
\"This..." Chen Qing hesitated. Is the Queen Mother testing herself?
\"Don't worry, the Ai family will never treat you badly.\"
\"Since the Empress Dowager said so, then this servant should be respectful and obey her orders." Chen Qing took a deep breath.
\"Yes.\" The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, \"Please come with me!\"
The two walked into a pavilion and sat down.
"Miss Chen, are you worried about the emperor?"
\"I don't dare. I'm just thinking about what to do if I'm diagnosed with pregnancy?" Chen Qing said in a low voice.
\"Oh?\" The Queen Mother was surprised, \"Then are you willing to keep the child?\"
\"I dare not..." Chen Qing shook his head repeatedly.
"Miss Chen, why are you doing this!\"
"The Queen Mother, please forgive me. I didn't mean to hide anything from the Queen Mother." Chen Qing bit her lip, "It's just that I can't have children, and I'm afraid that I'll kill my own child!"
\"Ha!\" The Queen Mother chuckled, "Miss Chen Qing, do you know that the emperor...\"
Chen Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly interrupted the Queen Mother, "I forgive you, the Queen Mother, but I am just a pariah and unworthy of being your Majesty's concubine. I hope that the Queen Mother will be so noble!"
\"You misunderstood Aijia's meaning! What Aijia means is that the emperor has not accepted a concubine!\" The Queen Mother frowned slightly, a little displeased, "Miss Chen, why don't you understand what Aijia means? Could it be that, Do you look down on the Ai family? Or do you look down on His Majesty?\"
\"No, Queen Mother, I don't dare. How can I look down on the emperor?" Chen Qing shook his head quickly.
\"In that case, what are you worried about?\"
"Empress Dowager, you don't know something. Your Majesty is the most wise and wise person in the world. Although I am not very smart, I know that Your Majesty must have a woman in his heart!" Chen Qing whispered.
When the Queen Mother heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Miss Chen, how could you say that?"
Chen Qing lowered his head, "I don't dare to speculate on Your Majesty, but I once heard that His Majesty was injured while trying to save a girl, and that girl was His Majesty's beloved... .\"
\"Oh?" When the Queen Mother heard this, her heart suddenly stirred up a storm. She stared at Chen Qing in disbelief, "Chen Qing, are you telling the truth?\"
"Yes." Chen Qing lowered her head, "The Queen Mother, I dare not deceive the Queen Mother."
"You go down and take a rest first!" The Queen Mother waved her hand and told her to step back.
\"Yes!" Chen Qing bowed and retreated.
Seeing her graceful back disappear from sight, the Queen Mother narrowed her eyes solemnly.
\"Miss, what are you doing here?" Xiao Tao came from a distance.
\"Shh!\" Gu Yao made a silent gesture towards Xiao Tao, "Xiao Tao, please keep your voice down, don't wake up the emperor!\"
\"oh
