Sophia looked at Su Guo with a smile on her lips, "Miss Lu, do you think what I said is right? The Empress Dowager admires you very much. She feels deeply sorry for some of her past foolish actions and hopes that Miss Lu can lead you to a more glorious imperial era."
Su Guo crushed a blueberry, her heart churning, but her face remained impassive. "Thank you for your recognition, Your Majesty. I am not overwhelmed and will work even harder."
Sophia: "Don't worry, the Empress Dowager has left you with female officials. They have served the royal family for many years, are loyal and dedicated, and have excellent professional skills. If there is anything you don't know, Miss Lan, you can ask them for advice."
After speaking, Sophia stepped down from her seat, walked to the door of the conference hall, stopped, looked at everyone, and revealed eight neat teeth at the corners of her mouth.
"It's getting late, everyone go home and get some rest. You've all had a hard day."
Without expert guidance, Su Guo would never have believed those last words. How could someone who was spoiled in the beginning suddenly become so confident and unafraid in front of thousands of people at a meeting?
Is this yet another conspiracy by Su Chen?
He glanced around and smiled slightly at Principal Gu beside him. "Principal, I have a lot of questions lately. Why don't you come back with me for dinner and I can get some answers to them?"
"Can."
Principal Gu had calmed down. He had done what Su Guo had asked of him, and now it was time for Su Guo to fulfill her promise. There was no reason for him not to go.
Unexpectedly, it was the Lu family villa.
Not only did Gu Chen return, but Lu Yuanhong also returned.
Gu Chen walked over quickly, his smile bright and innocent, "Miss Lan, congratulations on becoming the Empress's heir. Just thinking about it makes you feel so accomplished."
Su Guo smiled faintly, "Thank you." She looked at Lu Yuanhong, who was standing silently at the door, and walked up to him with small steps, "You're back? Are you done fighting?"
Su Guo's tone was so familiar that it was as if her husband had just gone on a long trip and she was the waiting wife.
However, Lu Yuanhong refused her advances. If he was unsure before, he was now certain. Based on his understanding of Lu Yulan, he knew she would never become the heir to the empire, nor would she ever be with Principal Gu.
"Congratulations, Your Highness."
“However, Your Highness is now the heir, and it seems somewhat inappropriate for you to continue living in the Lu family. The palace ladies have already informed me.” Lu Yuanhong paused for a moment, and Su Guo’s eyes were filled with disbelief, as if he had done something exceptionally cruel and treacherous.
"They will move your things out soon. The palace has already prepared a place for you. You can still pack up now. You can take anything you like with you."
Su Guo lowered her head, not expecting Su Chen to be so ruthless, catching her off guard. She should have increased the dosage of the powder. Baishan had not yet been recovered, so why would Lu Yuanhong come back? Entering the palace would only make her feel constrained.
“I thought we would be together after you came back. Has our relationship changed because I became the heir? General Lu, you are not such a shallow person.”
Su Guo tugged at Lu Yuanhong's sleeve, just like Lu Yulan used to, but she was not Lu Yulan. The ebony hidden in the sleeve told him that this was not Lu Yulan.
His little girl was hidden somewhere, waiting for him to rescue her.
"The Lu family will not get involved in the royal family's feuds. Your Highness should have known this from the very first day you entered the Lu family, so..."
