This hypocritical person must have already figured out how to plot against her, and now he is saying all this just to get away from her. He has used this trick too many times, it's really boring.
Mu Qianxue opened her mouth. She really wanted to say yes, but she was really afraid that Gu Yunran would not go because of this. How could she carry out her plan then?
"Second sister-in-law, just pretend I didn't say anything."
After saying that, Mu Qianxue left with the maid. Gu Yunran looked at her departing figure, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Tomorrow, if you behave yourself, I will not bother with you because Auntie raised Second Master."
"But..." Gu Yunran paused and murmured softly, "If you insist on going down this path, don't blame me for being rude."
She said to Ruizhu, "Go tell Qianli that everything is going according to plan."
"yes."
"By the way, Taohua is back too, and she brought some useful information."
"That's great. Let her and Qianli wait for my news tomorrow."
"Yes, Second Grandma."
Gu Yunran slept soundly at night, and after breakfast the next day, she followed Madam Mu to the palace.
Today's welcoming banquet for the Empress Dowager of Daning was held in a grand manner.
Sixty-six programs were prepared, and the performance ended in the evening when it was almost dark.
When Empress Dowager Daning saw Mu Qianxue waving for her to come over, everyone looked at Mu Qianxue with envy. The eldest lady even sat up straight with a look of pride, and her face almost said, "Look how outstanding my daughter is!"
"Xue'er, you saved me back then. You're a good child. I'll always remember you." As she spoke, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and placed it in Mu Qianxue's palm: "This is a little gift from me. Please keep it."
Mu Qianxue raised her head and smiled: "Thank you, Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother Daning asked her to go back and sit down. Mu Qianxue was stunned for a moment. This was different from what she expected. Wasn’t it agreed that she would be promised the title of Princess Daning? Why was it different from what she expected?
Could it be that the Queen Mother is getting old and confused and has forgotten?
Mu Qianxue wanted to give her a subtle reminder, but before she could open her mouth, Aunt Rong said, "Second Miss Mu, is there anything else?"
Mu Qianxue shook her head: "No more."
"Then go back to your seat."
Hearing this, the smile on Mu Qianxue's face gradually faded, and she nodded obediently: "Okay."
As soon as Mu Qianxue sat down, Queen Dowager Daning waved to Gu Yunran: "Yunran, come here."
Gu Yunran was stunned for a moment, but still got up and went over.
Mu Qianxue looked at Gu Yunran and Queen Dowager Daning in astonishment, puzzled. How did they know each other? They looked very familiar. What was going on?
A series of question marks flashed through Mu Qianxue's mind, especially when she saw Empress Dowager Daning holding Gu Yunran's hand, which was so intimate.
"Thank you so much for risking your life to save me two days ago. Otherwise, I would have died long ago."
"You are one of the few good children I have ever met. I like you very much. If you don't mind, I will adopt you as my adopted granddaughter."
These words shocked the whole audience.
Countless pairs of envious eyes looked at Gu Yunran, even Queen Gu Qingyue was shocked and envious.
You know, Daning's national strength is more than twice as strong as Tiansheng's. Even the position of princess is more desirable than her position of queen.
Mu Qianxue was even more jealous and crazy. Her eyes, which had been well hidden, were full of jealousy and malice. She wanted to kill Gu Yunran even more.
She was originally still hesitating about using the death of Empress Dowager Daning to get rid of Gu Yunran, and she felt guilty about it. But now it seems that she has no reason to feel guilty.
These two people deserve to die!
She said to Chang Xiao, "It's time to take action."
Aunt Rong smiled and said, "Princess, why don't you thank the Queen Mother?"
This girl risked her life to save the Queen Mother, and Rong Mama liked her very much.
Gu Yunran came back to her senses and knelt on the ground, kowtowed: "Yunran thanks the Queen Mother Daning for her kindness!"
"Hurry up, hurry up!" The Queen Mother reached out and helped her up. "When I return to Daning, I will definitely hold a grand ceremony to confer you a title."
At this time, the maid beside Gu Yunran came over with tea, "Second Madam, quickly serve tea to the Empress Dowager!"
Gu Yunran glanced at the girl Xiangcao. Zhuye suddenly fell ill today with a high fever, so he let her follow him into the palace.
"Second Madam, hurry up and serve tea to the Empress Dowager!"
Seeing that Gu Yunran didn't move, Xiangcao urged him.
Queen Gu Qingyue also smiled and said, "Yunran, why don't you move?"
Gu Yunran said calmly, "For safety reasons, Madam Rong, please give it a try."
Vanilla was stunned. She didn't expect Gu Yiran to use this trick. She was obviously a little nervous. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she wanted to spill the tea.
But before she could make a move, Rong Mama had already tried it.
She exclaimed in surprise: "This tea is poisonous!"
Gu Yunran stood up and scolded coldly, "How dare you! You want me to serve this kind of tea to the Queen Mother?"
"Who gave you the courage?"
"Someone, tie her up!"
At Gu Yunran's command, the guard at the door came in and restrained Xiangcao.
When the Queen saw that the situation was not good, she dismissed everyone else.
"Everyone who is not involved should leave."
Empress Dowager Daning said, "I came to Tiansheng as a guest and was treated like this. Tiansheng must give me an explanation today!"
Gu Qingyue said, "Yes, we failed to entertain you well, but please rest assured, Your Majesty, for the next two days. I will definitely give you an explanation today."
"Hmph! This little girl is so bold that she actually dared to murder me. Her entire clan will be killed." The Queen Mother looked at Xiangcao angrily.
