The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1264

Chapter 1264: 616 Princess of Hu Guo County (second update)_3

He looked towards the empress dowager again—

The next second, he kowtowed with a thump—

It wasn’t out of fright, but shock.

Wasn’t that the old lady from the girl’s family home?

He had seen her in the countryside before, and at that time, he found her familiar. However, he had never formally met the empress dowager a few times and was too afraid to recognize her.

Who could recognize her in such a situation?

How could the empress dowager be... a gluttonous old lady from the countryside?

Had he spoken any disrespectful words to the old lady... uh, no, to the empress dowager?

It was over, he was so nervous he couldn’t remember anything!

Lord Gu felt like he wanted to die. What on earth had the girl done? How could she hide the empress dowager in her own home without giving him a heads-up?

Would it kill her to tell him?

Day by day, all she knew was how to trouble her father!

Lord Gu covered his chest; he felt like he was about to develop heart disease.

"This girl is here to spell my doom... she’s come for my life..."

Lord Gu felt almost certain he was a goner. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes in resignation.

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Zhuang didn’t even spare him a glance and went straight into the mansion with Gu Jiao.

Lord Gu: "..."

"Do you like it?"

In the pavilion, Empress Dowager Zhuang asked Gu Jiao.

"I do," Gu Jiao replied earnestly.

Indeed, she did like it. There was the mansion built exactly like her Bishui Alley home, the courtyard meticulously recreated after the Medical Hall, and besides these, there were pavilions, terraces, towers, verandas, the Book Pavilion, a practice room, and even a grassland for horse riding and archery.

Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "Bishui Alley is getting too crowded. Pick a day to move over."

"I..." Gu Jiao opened her mouth to speak.

Empress Dowager Zhuang noticed her expression and asked, "What is it? Can’t bear to leave?"

Gu Jiao covered her chest.

Is this what feeling unable to leave is like?

She didn’t even experience this when she left her village.

It seemed as if... she could slightly sense the complex emotions that were once elusive to her.
