After hearing Gu Sang's words, Granny Li was also very moved. If she could, she really wanted to stay and take care of Gu Sang for the rest of her life. She also wanted Gu Sang to always be by her side. However, she was not alone now. She had a family and needed to return to her hometown. Therefore, she had no choice but to leave the capital and return to her hometown to see her family.
"Your Majesty, Granny Li, I beg you, I beg you to help Miss! Miss really needs a reliable person to take care of her. I know Miss has no one she can trust in the palace, so I want to ask Your Majesty and the Emperor to accept Miss and let me stay to take care of her. I will always take care of Miss and will never betray her." At this moment, the palace maid beside Gu Sang suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, begging the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to accept Gu Sang. Regardless of whether the Empress Dowager and the Emperor agreed or not, she would stay by the Empress Dowager's side to take care of Gu Sang.
After hearing the maid's words, the Empress Dowager frowned slightly. She was very reluctant to let the maid leave, but the maid was sent by Granny Li to serve her. Granny Li must have liked Gu Sang very much to send the maid to serve Gu Sang. The Empress Dowager felt that it would be very impolite to refuse the maid like this.
"Granny Li, I think this palace maid is quite good. Let her stay by my side. Although she was sent by Granny Li, she is still my wet nurse, and I don't want to see her heartbroken. Besides, the palace maids are all rather clumsy. What if they bully Gu Sang? So, I hope Granny Li can help take care of Gu Sang." Gu Sang glanced at the palace maid and said to Granny Li.
"Since you've made this decision, Gu Sang, I won't force you to keep this palace maid by your side. However, you must promise me that if you encounter any danger, you must not try to tough it out. You must tell me immediately, and I will come to your rescue right away." The Empress Dowager thought for a while and felt that what Gu Sang said made a lot of sense. Therefore, she agreed to Gu Sang's suggestion and agreed to keep this palace maid by her side to take care of Gu Sang.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Then I will thank Your Majesty on behalf of the palace maids." Gu Sang said happily after hearing the Empress Dowager's words, and was also very grateful to the Empress Dowager.
"Alright, you may all leave now. Let Granny Li and I be alone here for a while. I'll call you in if there's anything else." After Gu Sang finished speaking, the Empress Dowager waved her hand to dismiss the palace maids.
"Yes, we will take our leave." Upon seeing this, the palace maids quickly stood up, bowed to Gu Sang and the Empress Dowager, and then respectfully left the bedroom, closing the door behind them.
"Gu Sang, you must be tired. Go and rest! I'll stay here with you today." After the palace maids had all left, the Empress Dowager turned to Gu Sang and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mother." Seeing that the Empress Dowager was finally willing to stay and keep her company, Gu Sang was very grateful and said to her with a smile.
"Gu Sang, don't be so polite." The Empress Dowager said quickly upon seeing this, and then walked to Gu Sang's bedside and reached out to touch Gu Sang's hair.
Seeing this, Gu Sang couldn't help but smile. The Empress Dowager still loved her as always. Although Gu Sang knew that the Empress Dowager was not in a good mood, or rather, was very upset, she could feel the Empress Dowager's love for her and knew that the Empress Dowager must be feeling very bad. However, the Empress Dowager still insisted on staying to keep her company, which made Gu Sang feel very touched.
"Your Majesty, don't worry! I will take good care of myself, and nothing will happen." Gu Sang looked at the Empress Dowager and said very seriously.
"Silly child, don't worry. With me here, I will definitely ensure your safety. Just relax and take good care of yourself! I'll stay here with you." The Empress Dowager smiled slightly and said to Gu Sang.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Gu Sang nodded obediently in response to the Empress Dowager's words.
The Empress Dowager stayed with Gu Sang for a while before preparing to return to Cining Palace. She needed to think carefully about whether to have a palace maid investigate Li Mama's background. If what Gu Sang said was true, then Li Mama's identity was definitely not simple. Therefore, she had to investigate thoroughly, otherwise, it would be bad if her Gu Sang suffered a loss.
After the Empress Dowager left, the palace maids came in and began packing up Gu Sang's things. Gu Sang lay down on the bed to sleep. This night was destined to be another sleepless one.
When Gu Sang woke up, it was already the next day. The Empress Dowager had also gotten up early. When Gu Sang woke up, the Empress Dowager was no longer there, but there was still food on the table, still warm.
Seeing that Gu Sang had already gotten up, the palace maid hurriedly came in to help Gu Sang wash up.
After Gu Sang got up, she ate a few simple things and then began to pack her clothes. After she finished packing, the maid took her to change into a new set of clothes and then helped Gu Sang to do her hair and makeup. She looked much more energetic. The maid nodded in satisfaction and said to Gu Sang, "Gu Sang, you look much better today. Your body is slowly recovering. You will definitely become healthier and healthier in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Sang glanced at herself in the bronze mirror and said with a smile.
"Why are you thanking me? I truly want you to get better, and I believe you can do it." The Empress Dowager smiled as she spoke to Gu Sang, while inwardly thinking that it was all Gu Sang's good fortune. She truly loved Gu Sang very much. If it weren't for her, Gu Sang wouldn't be in this state now. Moreover, she didn't know that if something really happened to her, she would regret agreeing to keep Gu Sang in the palace and let her suffer.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about me. I will definitely not let you down. I will try my best." After hearing the Empress Dowager's words, Gu Sang immediately said, and at the same time, she made a vow in her heart that she must get better as soon as possible, try to find that man, and then she would ask him in person why he abandoned her.
"Yes, it's good that you think that way, Gu Sang. Don't worry! I will definitely not let anything happen to you." The Empress Dowager said with a smile after hearing Gu Sang's words. Her tone was very gentle, as if she were coaxing a child. It seems that the Empress Dowager still loves Gu Sang very much.
Seeing this, Gu Sang felt very warm inside. It seemed that her time learning palace etiquette from the Empress Dowager had not been in vain.
