for-nothing, couldn't possibly divorce me, let alone hire someone to investigate me." She hastily explained to Wu Ge, "Wu Ge, don't believe this little wretch!"Let me know if you'd like anything else..."Hui Hui, why are you so mischievous today"

The Empress sat in the hall, looking down at Gu Qian's well-behaved figure with a helpless question.

Just now, Prime Minister Wang was so angry with his daughter that he turned green, of course, he was happy.

This old geezer, relying on his seniority and many years as a student, forms cliques and acts against her in court, which gives her a headache.

However, the princess and this Prime Minister hadn't reached the point of irreconcilable differences over such a trivial matter before. Could it be true that she said, out of concern for her own empress mother

Thinking of this, the Empress's brows and eyes softened even more. She truly was her beloved granddaughter.

“Mother Empress, this Wang Chengyan holds no official position nor title. Without an imperial decree, he freely enters and leaves the palace. Even my palace maids leave the East Palace gates open for him, allowing him to kneel and address me at will, causing trouble on my behalf. You see, this Prime Minister is becoming increasingly audacious, attempting to control everything with his own hand.”

Gu Qian directly filed a complaint.

If it weren't for An Qing letting Wang Chengyan into the East Palace, there wouldn't be all this trouble.

And she wasn't making it up. In the original story, both the original protagonist and the empress didn't have many good days left to live, they were going to be killed very soon by the reborn third princess, Yang Mingzhu.

Both the mother and daughter ended up in a very tragic situation.

Yang Mingzhu colluded with many officials, including this Wang Shangshu.

The original owner's wish was simple, she just didn't want the current empress to be assassinated and didn't want herself to become an empress who was overthrown as soon as she ascended the throne and then imprisoned and humiliated to death.

Just now, that Prime Minister Wang was aggressive, but Gu Qiansan retorted him with just a few words, leaving him speechless. After all, she is the imperial princess's identity, and daring to argue with her is tantamount to disrespecting the imperial power. Prime Minister Wang had no choice but to leave in disgrace with Wang Chengyan.

"You, you, your temper needs to be controlled a bit. As for the maidservants who disobey, they can be beaten and scolded at will. As for Wang Xiang, he cannot be touched yet."

Though it was a reprimand, the Empress' tone held not a trace of severity, but rather a smile graced her face.

She had also been thinking about this for a while.

"Your Majesty, I wanted to tell you…" Gu Qian stopped halfway through her sentence, waving her hand for the palace attendants to leave. Then she looked at Gao Mama standing beside the Empress, unmoving. "Gao Mama, my mother and I have some private words to discuss. You should also go out."

The Empress raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.

This trusted confidante of hers, what words couldn't she hear

"Mother~ Your daughter just has some little things she wants to tell you, don't let anyone else hear." Gu Qian's acting skills were on point, but she wasn't very used to it herself. After speaking, she shivered slightly.

"Very well," the Empress said to Gao Mamā, "You may go now."

Grandmother Gao smiled and responded, then withdrew.

At this time, there was no one else in the hall. Gu Qian walked to the Empress's side and whispered softly, "Your Majesty, Gao Mama betrayed you. Please be careful yourself."

The Empress's brows twitched slightly as she asked, "How did you know"

"I have a secret weapon!" Gu Qian said seriously. "Mother Empress, trust me. You need to be wary of Gao Mama, especially careful about your meals. My people found out that Gao Mama colluded with outsiders... I don't yet know who they are, but it's possible they want to poison you and me. Please take good care of yourself."

The Empress was unlike any emperor she had seen in history or stories before. She genuinely doted on the original owner, and their mother-daughter relationship was incredibly close. So, these things that could be considered taboo, Gu Qian didn't mind saying them directly at all.

As for why the foreigner wasn't mentioned as the third princess, Yang Mingzhu... that's because the original owner still had one wish.
