Serving the empress dowager?
Gong Yimo placed her book down and asked, “Why ? His Majesty agreed?”
Normally, the empress and imperial concubines would serve the empress dowager when she was sick. Since they ca looking for her, it was clear that the emperor consented.
As expected, that eunuch said, “His Majesty has a ssage for you. He says... for the princess to let her have her way.”
Gong Yimo smiled. She could imagine how helpless Gong Cheng must have felt to be pestered by the empress dowager and reluctantly agreeing to her request.
A glint of light flickered past her eyes. “So what if I have to serve upon her? As long as she’s happy, what can’t this granddaughter do for her?”
She smiled, revealing her eye tooth. The eunuch shivered at the sight for so unknown reason and he couldn’t help but pity the empress dowager.
By the ti Gong Yimo arrived at the empress dowager’s chambers, she noticed quite a few people there. After all, many imperial concubines ca to ask about the empress dowager’s health since she was sick.
The mont the empress dowager saw her however, fear took over. Then, she harshly glared at her after thinking of sothing.
At this ti, Imperial Consort Long smiled and said sothing in the empress dowager’s ears. She nodded before Imperial Consort Long retreated with everyone else. Gong Yimo was the only one here.
“You guys can all leave.” The empress dowager suddenly said and then she looked at Gong Yimo, saying, “Co serve !”
The eunuchs looked at the empress dowager, finding it difficult to believe her words. She wants the princess to serve her? Is the empress dowager sure?
But there was nothing they could do. They greeted Gong Yimo before retreating, leaving the space to the two of them. The atmosphere in the chambers suddenly beca strange.
The empress glanced at Gong Yimo’s calm and unruffled expression and how fearless she seed. “I want to drink water! Are you dead? Quickly pour so water for !”
Her voice was sharp, but unknowingly, Gong Yimo could hear the severe tone within. Despite this, she went to pour water. It wasn’t cold nor warm. The empress dowager couldn’t even nitpick any faults.
The empress dowager drank the water and in the end, didn’t do anything lacking manners. She was fixated on keeping Gong Yimo within her palace until the emperor held the ceremony for her.
anwhile, Gong Yimo kneeled by the side and watched the empress dowager drink the water calmly. She suddenly felt sothing was off. If the empress dowager didn’t call her here to tornt her or that it wasn’t her main motive, then what was it?
In the next few days, she gradually got her answer.
For the past few days, the empress dowager wanted her to serve upon her over the smallest things. She didn’t even let her get a goodnight’s sleep. It seed like she intentionally wanted to tornt her, but it was in the boundary in which the emperor could tolerate this. When the empress dowager found out that the emperor had chosen a good day for the ceremony, Gong Yimo couldn’t help but be more on guard when she saw that the empress dowager didn’t seem affected by this.
Because the empress dowager didn’t let her go, she hadn’t been out for many days. Yet this night, while she was quietly pondering over so things, a window suddenly opened and a figure crawled in.
The cold wind enveloped him, but Gong Yimo didn’t care at all. Even more, she was a bit surprised.
“Gong Jue? Why did you co?”
After that, she found that her words were a bit inappropriate. She still recalled Gong Jue’s confession the other day. She suddenly felt... awkward facing him now.
But besides visiting her, Gong Jue really had sothing to say too.
“Royal sister...”
His distinct hoarse voice rang quietly in the room. Gong Yimo hugged her blanket unnaturally on the bed. She humd in agreent.
“What?”
Gong Jue laughed while watching her acting calm. He walked over and sat by the bed, and then hugged Gong Yimo!
