Chapter 198 Yearning



"Your Majesty, since you have met Sister Gu Sang's grandmother, you must know—"

Before he could finish his words, Pei Changying interrupted him. "I haven't seen him, I've only seen photos."

"Queen, you have lived with Sangsang longer than I have. You must understand her better."

"Think about it carefully. Maybe Sangsang has mentioned it to you sometimes, but you just don't remember it."

Gu Qingrou was about to shake her head and say no, but Pei Changying looked at her straight with a slightly suspicious look, and his tone was not good.

"Could it be that your relationship with Sangsang isn't as good as you say?"

Gu Qingrou was shocked and subconsciously thought of the various events that had caused Gu Sang to fall out of favor.

No.

The emperor cannot be told.

In the emperor's heart.

I have always been gentle and generous!

Gu Qingrou quickly said:

"I seem to remember my sister mentioning to me a few times that her grandmother was very kind and gentle, a unique grandmother who would support her no matter what she did."

"Your Majesty, please wait for me to return to the palace and think carefully about the rest. It's been so long that my impression of it is a little blurry."

After saying this, Gu Qingrou observed Pei Changying's expression nervously. Seeing that there was no more doubt in his eyes, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she managed to get away with it.

She didn't know what Grandma Gu Sang was like, but praising people in good ways has always been a good thing since ancient times.

Especially during the live broadcast, every time Gu Sang mentioned her grandmother, the warmth in her eyes made it clear to people that her grandmother was a very good person!

After Pei Changying left, Gu Qingrou used the excuse to keep Palace Maid Li to help.

"Why did you slander me to the emperor, saying that I knew what Grandma Gu Sang looked like?" Gu Qingrou stared at Palace Maid Li with a bad look on her face.

Almost.

She almost fell into the trap.

Palace Maid Li suddenly knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, I am under surveillance and cannot contact the Imperial Concubine privately."

"There is no other way but to ask the Emperor to call you over."

"I know that if the Empress knew about this, she would definitely find a way to contact the Imperial Concubine."

Imperial Concubine!

Imperial Concubine!

Even now, I still call her that!

Is she really going to haunt me like this? Even after she dies, she won't be able to rest in peace!

The coldness in Gu Qingrou's eyes had not yet disappeared, and she said in a cold voice:

"Why do you think I would disobey the Emperor and help you?"

"If the emperor knew that I was the one who informed on you, my fate would be the same as yours."

Palace Lady Li looked up at the Queen with a calm expression and said word by word:

"Because, the Queen is also a woman!"

"Your Majesty also longs for the freedom of love in the afterlife. Otherwise, you wouldn't watch the live broadcasts of the afterlife so often."

Palace Maid Li was also in the palace. Being among this group of women, she was not unfamiliar with the struggles in the harem.

However, she also knew that these women in the harem, who used to be obsessed with palace fighting, striving for favor and fighting for their families, had learned to think for themselves after seeing the freedom of the future.

For the sake of your family and your parents, in the end, it is better to think more about yourself.

Their families sent them to the palace at the expense of their freedom, and they faced the precariousness and intrigue of life in the palace.

If they had never seen the freedom and smiles of the afterlife, they might have thought that their lives would be like this.

Living in darkness all the time is actually not scary, because they will just think that the world is just that dark.

But when a beam of light from the live broadcast shone in, they realized that the world was not entirely dark.

At least there is light somewhere.

After seeing the light, even though they did not escape from the darkness, they already yearned for it in their hearts.

Palace Maid Li's words were like a blow to Gu Qingrou's head, making a buzzing sound.

She seemed surprised, frightened and scared.

Does she, does she actually yearn for the freedom of the afterlife?

How could she yearn for the immoral ideas of later generations!

No, this guy deserves to be thrown into a pig cage!

She didn't even dare to think about the shocking concepts of live broadcasts in later generations.

"My Lady, I know you will make the decision that is in your heart."

"Just like you can't stand sharing your husband with other women."

Seeing that Gu Qingrou was still hesitating, Palace Maid Li did not continue to persuade her, but quietly left, leaving this place to Gu Qingrou, asking her to think about it slowly.

Gu Qingrou didn't know how she got back to the bedroom, but when she came to her senses, one of her feet had already stepped into the bedroom door.

Gu Qingrou murmured, "Is the afterlife really that good?"

It was originally an unintentional remark, but the personal palace maid beside her thought he was asking her.

She answered with a humble look:

"The later generations are violating morals and ethics. Women don't even have the most basic three obediences and four virtues. The relationship between men and women is chaotic. Men and women in the future generations should all be drowned in pig cages."

Although she lowered her head when answering, Gu Qingrou still noticed a hint of yearning in her expression, and heard a hint of inconsistency in her tone.

These were the words she often said, but the head maid was afraid of being blamed by her and didn't even dare to tell her the truth.

yes.

sincere.

The truth.

So, do you really yearn for it?

Gu Qingrou returned to her room and waved her hand to let all the palace maids leave.

"Gu Sang, I will consider this as a show of mercy and help you this time."

"However, if you can't hear me, don't blame me."
