Chapter 412: Embarrassment

Xia Yinghan told her about this, because she knew the situation in the court well.

Princess Jing was The Empress Dowager’s niece, whilst Princess Jing was the mother of Lord Ling. Gu Chaoyan, on the other hand, was marrying Lord Huai whose mother was the Queen.

In the court, the Empress Dowager liked the Queen the least.

According to what the King said, it seemed that he did not have much to say to Gu Chaoyan. It was just that The Empress Dowager had the intention of meeting Gu Chaoyan, so she was asked for in the name of the King.

Xia Yinghan did not think that it was going to be something great. After spending some time with Gu Chaoyan, she realized that Gu Chaoyan was a very nice person, so she was giving her the reminder.

Gu Chaoyan nodded. “Don’t worry.”

She knew pretty well that Xia Yinghan was trying to remind her.

In this era, the King had the highest power, but if she offended the Empress Dowager, then she would cause a lot of trouble for the Queen and Lord Huai.

It seemed that the Empress Dowager was trying to take revenge for County Princess Anxi.

County Princess Anxi was the Elder Princess’s only daughter and was most adored by the Empress Dowager. So it was definitely something the Empress Dowager would want to take into consideration.

Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh of relief, then she followed the eunuch to the Empress Dowager’s palace.

On the way there, Xia Yinghan and Gu Chaoyan were both wearing very serious expressions on their faces.

At Cining Palace.

Maids and eunuchs were all busy with a lot of errands. Since Gu Chaoyan had kept her head lowered, she did not take a close look at what Cining Palace was like.

“You can go in now.” The sharp voice of the eunuch arose.

Xia Yinghan and Gu Chaoyan walked into Cining Palace.

“Greetings, Empress Dowager, wish you live longer than one thousand years.” Xia Yinghan and Gu Chaoyan stood head to head, saying together.

The Empress Dowager was seated in the main seat and glanced at Xia Yinghan and Gu Chaoyan. She was very surprised that Xia Yinghan would have come along. She threw a look at Gu Chaoyan, thinking that this girl did know how to gather forces.

So she took up the cup and took a sip from the tea. Then she said calmly, “What are you doing here, Doctor Yinghan? Princess Jing has just told me that she needs you to take a look at her to see if she is recovering fully. I don’t have any errands for you, you can go to her place instead.”

Xia Yinghan looked at Gu Chaoyan, wearing a very embarrassed look. She thought that at least she could be of some help being here, but The Empress Dowager....

“Yes?” Seeing Xia Yinghan not moving, the Empress Dowager started to sound very displeased.

“I will be going now.” Xia Yinghan answered, threw a helpless look at Gu Chaoyan and then left.

After Xia Yinghan left... Silence dominated the room for a long while.

The Empress Dowager did not ask Gu Chaoyan to get up, but left her sitting on her knees whilst drinking her own tea, as if no one was there at all.

Gu Chaoyan did not move an inch. She had been prepared to be embarrassed on the way to the Cining Palace. So she was very calm inwardly, showing no moves at all.

One quarter passed...

The Empress Dowager finally said calmly, “I am too old to stay awake all the time, sometimes I take a small nap, you have waited for a long time, haven’t you, Lady Chaoyan?”

“I heard that you cured Young Duke, and you also cured the dying man in the Saint College?”

“Yes.” Gu Chaoyan answered calmly.

“It seems that the Lin Family does have some magical prescriptions.”
