Seeing this, Mrs. Li quickly wiped the saliva off her husband with a handkerchief.
"Master, will our daughter be okay?"
Lord Li patted Madam Li comfortingly.
"Don't worry, we found Concubine Gu's grandmother, which is a great achievement. The emperor will reward us."
Mrs. Li had been standing nearby and had heard most of what was said. Now, when she heard her husband say this, she immediately looked at Grandma Gu with a pleading look on her face.
"Grandma Gu, every time Concubine Gu talks about you during the live broadcast, her face is always full of smiles and nostalgia."
"I believe that you love the Imperial Concubine from the bottom of your heart."
"So, please believe me and help me. I carried my daughter for ten months and gave birth to her. I can't bear to see her suffer."
"My daughter risked her life to send you out. This matter will definitely be revealed in the future. Once the emperor knows about this, our Li family will be punished with death, and all nine generations of our family will be implicated!"
"We cannot change the fate of our birth, we cannot live in the afterlife, so we can only live here, under the shadow of imperial power."
"If I had to choose, I would rather have my daughter trapped in the palace for her entire life than be torn to pieces by a chariot."
"Grandma Gu, can you understand how I feel?"
Grandma Gu opened her mouth to refute, but she knew clearly that living in ancient times meant many frustrations.
She could feel that the lady in front of her truly loved her daughter.
All she wanted was to save her daughter!
She would rather her daughter live than die.
Life is only a few decades long. It is better to live a miserable life than to die. At least, it can give their parents something to think about.
Seeing that Grandma Gu didn't say anything, Mrs. Li once again appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her.
"Grandma Gu, given the Emperor's love for the Imperial Concubine, he won't treat you harshly. But on the contrary, if it were my daughter, the Emperor would definitely torture her cruelly."
"As long as you are by the emperor's side, he will find a way to contact Concubine Gu, and then you will be able to see Concubine Gu!"
"I beg you, as long as you help me this time, if you and the Imperial Concubine are in trouble next time, I will definitely help you!"
Thinking of Concubine Li's dedicated care these days, Grandma Gu was not so cruel after all.
It's not that she is such a saint, but she has been tied up and can't escape.
Since she was destined to be sent to Pei Changying, she might as well speak well of the Li family to repay Concubine Li for taking care of her.
"Okay, I promise."
Grandma Gu spoke up and promised to keep the fact that Concubine Li sent her out of the palace a secret for the Li family.
"Thank you! If you and Concubine Gu need anything in the future, I will definitely help you to the best of my ability!"
Mrs. Li solemnly promised.
Afterwards, Lord Li personally escorted grandma on horseback to the South City to meet the emperor. He brought dozens of servants with him and surrounded the carriage tightly, completely cutting off grandma's possibility of escape.
Not long after they set out, they met palace guards who were hurriedly returning in a carriage on the road.
Upon seeing this, Lord Li immediately shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"I have brought you the Imperial Concubine's grandmother!"
Phew!
The carriage stopped immediately.
When Lord Li saw the emperor's carriage stop, he quickly got out and ran over.
Before he could even reach the carriage, he was frightened by the guards' fierce gazes. He stood two meters away and spoke respectfully:
"Your Majesty, after my tireless searching and inquiries, I have finally fulfilled my grace and found the Imperial Concubine's grandmother!"
Pei Changying opened the curtain, and no emotion could be seen on his indifferent face.
Obviously.
Pei Changying didn't hold out much hope: "Bring it here and let me see it."
Lord Li quickly asked the servants to bring Grandma Gu over.
Seeing the person in front of him who looked somewhat like Grandma Gu, Pei Changying frowned.
Before he could get angry, he heard Master Li say:
"Your Majesty, she had makeup on her face, and it took me a lot of effort to find her."
"I dare to guarantee with my life that this old lady is definitely the Noble Concubine's grandmother!"
After saying that, Lord Li asked the servant to bring a pot of water, wet his handkerchief, and wiped it on Grandma Gu's face.
The makeup on Grandma Gu's face was put on by Concubine Li to cover up her escape from the palace. Although it concealed it a little, if you look closely, she still looks somewhat similar to before she put on makeup.
Now, after wiping off all the makeup on her face, Grandma Gu’s original appearance is clearly visible.
Pei Changying's pupils shrank in shock.
So similar!
The previous fake one had to put on makeup to look 90% like Grandma Gu Sang, but this one looks so much like her even without makeup.
Could it be...could it be that this is true?
"Are you Grandma Gu Sang?"
Pei Changying was not sure, so he could only stare carefully at the old woman in front of him, trying to find more evidence from her face.
Grandma Gu also stared at Pei Changying for several times, and she replied unyieldingly:
"Aren't you asking even though you already know the answer? If I say no, you'll let me go?"
"Hiss!" Lord Li gasped and looked at Grandma Gu in shock.
This is the emperor who holds the power of life and death. How dare she speak to him like that?
However, what Lord Li did not expect was that Pei Changying was not angry at all, but continued to speak gently:
"He does have some of Gu Sang's personality."
"Where have you been living before? Gu Sangke has been looking for you everywhere."
Upon hearing this, Lord Li's heart instantly rose to his throat.
I prayed secretly that he would never tell anyone about the Li family.
If the emperor knew that Grandma Gu had been hidden in the palace by his daughter, he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
