Chapter 762: 353 Heartwarming (Second Update)_2

She instantly turned to look at the emperor.

The emperor turned his head, gazing at the old Marquis standing at the doorway with a blank face, "Did Gu Aiqing hear the Empress Dowager’s thoughts?"

Did he just hear it?

It was as if every word had pierced into his heart!

The old Marquis was trembling with rage, his fists clenching so hard they made a crunching noise.

Empress Dowager Jing’s expression changed slightly, and she opened her mouth to speak.

But the old Marquis did not give her the opportunity to explain. He reached into his chest and pulled out a red rope knot that he had treasured for many years, then casually threw it into the burning fire pile and decisively walked away!

Empress Dowager Jing closed her eyes, and her fingers buried under wide sleeves were clenched so tight they turned white.

...

The incidents that occurred in Huaqing Palace did not leak out, as everyone in Huaqing Palace was under gag order. Even the Empress Xiao didn’t hear a word about it when she came.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang also did not reveal any information.

For this, the emperor was grateful.

He seldom detained Empress Dowager Zhuang on the way to court and gave an awkard thank you.

"What are you thanking me for?" Empress Dowager Zhuang asked indifferently.

There was no one watching at the moment, so why put on an act?

"Nothing." The emperor walked away without looking back.

Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes. "Such decorum!"

The nunnery in the palace was ready, and Empress Dowager Jing moved in. It was said that the emperor was busy with state affairs that day and did not personally send Empress Dowager Jing into the nunnery.

"Could she have fallen out of favor?" In the imperial garden, a palace maid who was sweeping muttered quietly.

The little eunuch next to her said, "How could that be? The Empress Dowager is the mother of the emperor. It was the emperor himself who brought her back from the convent!"

"But didn’t you hear that the emperor has recently made up with the Empress Dowager? And he is in such a hurry to move the Empress Dowager out of Huaqing Palace..."

The palace maid had barely finished speaking when she felt someone pinch her arm.

"I didn’t say anything wrong! I..." She turned her head and saw that Empress Dowager Jing’s sedan was stopped behind her.

She was so scared that she knelt down at once, "Empress... Empress Dowager!"

Empress Dowager Jing said nothing, but Nurse Cai gave her a resentful glance.

"Let’s go." Empress Dowager Jing said.
