After Qi Jingsheng left.

The room returned to silence.

Gu Nuo’er wasn’t in a hurry to speak.

The old woman maintained her bowing posture.

The windows in the room were small and the light wasn’t bright.

Light landed on Gu Nuo’er’s soft and fair face, adding a hint of darkness to the child.

Her watery eyes were bright and intelligent.

Gu Nuo’er sat upright on a small stool. Her small back was straight and she looked elegant

“Grandmother, you recognize me, right?” The child said softly.

There was no reproach or interrogation in her voice, but it made the old woman tremble.

The old woman lowered her head deeply.

“This commoner…”

She seemed to be considering how to answer.

However, Gu Nuo’er didn’t give her a chance to argue.

The child continued, “Do you know that ever since I was young, my father has said that no matter how powerful a big shot is, they can’t lie in front of their child. Otherwise, wouldn’t they be setting a bad example for the child?”

Gu Nuo’er looked at her steadily. “Ever since Little Brother Jingsheng grew up, have you hidden anything from him?”

The old woman’s words were stuck in her throat.

“Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me the truth. Since you’re acting so strangely, I’ll investigate it myself. It’s just that if you don’t confess now, don’t blame me for being ruthless when I find out something.”

The child’s expression was mighty. Even though the old woman couldn’t see her expression, she was convinced by her calmness.

Suddenly, the old woman bent down and knelt, almost crying bitterly. “Your

Highness, this commoner definitely didn’t lie on purpose. Please forgive me.”

Gu Nuo’er crossed her legs leisurely. She was a small person, but her side profile looked very calm and composed. She really looked like a small adult.

She tapped her pink tourmaline-wearing finger gently on her knee.

“Oh, do you remember that I’m the princess now? Grandmother, I’m not a bad person, but your actions are strange. I want to ask, who exactly are you? Have you entered the palace before?”

The old woman touched her head to the ground. After a while, she choked and said, “Yes… This old servant, Luzhu, kowtows to Your Highness.”

“Luzhu…” Gu Nuo’er repeated it a few times.

Luzhu raised her head, her eyes which could no longer see from very long ago were now filled with tears.

She sobbed and said, “Back then, this old servant was a first-grade palace maid by the former Empress’s side, serving her daily needs.”

Gu Nuo’er suddenly stood up.

Ripples appeared in her round and watery eyes. “You’re my imperial grandmother’s maidservant?”

“Yes…”

Gu Nuo’er frowned her thin and beautiful brows.

“I heard that back then, my imperial grandmother was tragically framed by her trusted maidservant. The maidservant joined forces with Grand Consort Yu and caused my imperial grandmother to enter the cold palace. Is this person you?”

Listening carefully, the child’s tone became as cold as ice.

Luzhu shook her head. “It’s not this old servant. It was a palace maid who served the late empress together with this old servant. Her name is Luying.”

Usually, the consorts and concubines with high statuses would have two trusted head palace maids serving them.

For example, Noble Consort Qiao had Wanyin and Wanxuan by her side.

Not only would the two palace maids serve the lady’s daily needs, but they were also the people they trusted the most.

Gu Nuo’er frowned deeply. “Tell me in detail what happened back then.” Luzhu sighed deeply.

She knew that after hiding for so long, she still couldn’t escape fate’s arrangements.

At this point, she could only tell Gu Nuo’er everything she knew.

“Back then, this old servant and Luying were maidservants that Her Majesty brought to the palace from home. We’ve been following Her Highness since we were young.. Although we’re maidservants, Her Highness treats us like

sisters…”
