Chapter 197: Here We Go Again



Chapter 197

All sorts of harsh and vulgar insults poured forth.

Yet somehow, it didn\'t come across as crude at all, and could even be called an auditory feast.

Pei Changying\'s face looked worse than if he\'d been constipated for a month. Several times he tried to open his mouth to stop Gu Sang\'s tirade, but couldn\'t find an opening to interject.

It wasn\'t until Gu Sang finished venting her anger that Pei Changying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Gu Sang cautiously, having completely forgotten that he had come to confront her.

"Sang Sang, I\'m sorry. I know what happened before hurt you deeply, but it\'s all in the past now."

"Don\'t worry, I\'ll protect you from now on. Who made you so angry?"

Originally, Gu Sang\'s anger had dissipated.

But upon hearing Pei Changying\'s words, she thought of her grandmother again, and her blood began to boil once more.

Gu Sang said: "I really get annoyed just looking at your face. It\'s just like back then when I despised you but had to force myself to please you..."

She continued her verbal assault for several more minutes, until Pei Changying almost wanted to flee in disgrace.

But the video call hadn\'t ended, so wherever he went, the screen followed, and her scolding pursued him.

By the end, Pei Changying had given up struggling and lay resignedly on his dragon throne, his fingers clenched tightly.

He had completely forgotten that there was still a palace maid attending him nearby, and he had failed to send her away.

His furious yet helpless expression was witnessed by Palace Maid Li, who lowered her head to conceal her internal laughter.

Haha, today was so satisfying!

She had witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime scene. She could die without regrets now.

All the torment and grievances she had endured turned into overwhelming joy at seeing the dog emperor berated like this.

Finally.

Gu Sang sneered: "What do you want from me anyway? Don\'t contact me unless it\'s important."

"You\'d better have something extremely urgent to discuss."

Seeing Pei Changying\'s blank stare and furious expression, Gu Sang asked coldly, implying that if he said he had nothing important to discuss, she would immediately have the System end the call.

Pei Changying came to his senses and let out a long sigh.

Gu Sang\'s cold demeanor was far better than her previous stream of profanities.

Thinking this, Pei Changying suddenly realized how good Gu Sang had been to him before.

Seeing Gu Sang\'s impatient look, Pei Changying hurriedly spoke:

"Sang Sang, I know your feelings towards me are different from others."

"The biggest problem between us is that I caused you to lose your grandmother."

"If I could make it up to you, help you find your grandmother, would you forgive me?"

Gu Sang\'s heart skipped a beat, not quite understanding Pei Changying\'s meaning.

But since it concerned her grandmother, her attitude towards Pei Changying improved slightly.

"What do you mean by that?"

Although Gu Sang\'s expression remained unchanged, Pei Changying still caught a fleeting glimpse of concern in her eyes.

Pei Changying rejoiced inwardly, feeling he had firmly grasped Gu Sang\'s weak point - her grandmother.

After all, everything Gu Sang was doing now was to resurrect her grandmother.

"You came here by accident before, through a twist of fate."

"So if your grandmother had an accident, wouldn\'t she also come here?"

"I\'ve already ordered people to search for your grandmother. Perhaps, before long, she\'ll be found."

Palace Maid Li, kneeling behind Pei Changying, desperately tried to signal to Gu Sang with her eyes.

Sister Gu, look at me!

Quick, look at me!

The grandmother the dog emperor found is fake, you mustn\'t believe him!

But at this moment, Gu Sang clearly hadn\'t noticed Palace Maid Li\'s gestures. At the mention of her grandmother, she couldn\'t calm her heart.

Especially Pei Changying\'s hypothesis, which troubled her even more.

"Is that so? Let me know when you find her," Gu Sang said, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.

She hastily ended the call with Pei Changying, wanting to confirm with the System about her grandmother\'s resurrection.

Pei Changying, whose call had been abruptly ended, was in quite a good mood, believing he had Gu Sang under his thumb.

Guards were posted day and night at the entrance of Xiwu Palace, forbidding anyone from approaching. They had been ordered to inflict severe punishment on anyone who entered without permission.

Therefore, no one in the palace knew or dared to be curious about why Xiwu Palace was suddenly so heavily guarded, especially since no one seemed to be living there.

Pei Changying came to Xiwu Palace and saw with his own eyes the person who looked very much like Gu Sang\'s grandmother.

At first glance, she was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Especially when this person smiled, she looked kind and gentle, clearly a good-hearted and open-minded old lady.

Pei Changying watched the old lady\'s mannerisms and secretly frowned.

After all, he had only seen photos of Gu Sang\'s grandmother and knew nothing about her behavior or mannerisms.

But when it came time to deceive Gu Sang, they couldn\'t just rely on appearance alone. A simple smile wouldn\'t be enough to fool her.

Such an obvious flaw would be immediately spotted by Gu Sang if she paid even the slightest attention.

Seeing Pei Changying frown over this matter, Palace Maid Li, who had been diligently attending to him, came up with an idea. She approached with lowered eyes and said:

"Your Majesty, the Empress and Noble Consort Gu are sisters. Although she may not have met the Noble Consort\'s grandmother, they have been close for many years, so she might know something about her."

"Rather than having someone unfamiliar teach etiquette, why not ask the Empress?"

Pei Changying gave Palace Maid Li an inscrutable sidelong glance and asked suspiciously:

"Why are you being so helpful?"

However, lacking a better option, Pei Changying still had the chief eunuch summon Gu Qingrou.

Gu Qingrou was one of the few people who knew about Pei Changying\'s plan. At first, she hadn\'t paid much attention, until she saw the fake grandmother in Xiwu Palace.

After hearing Pei Changying ask her to teach the fake grandmother proper etiquette, Gu Qingrou\'s eyes widened in surprise.

She opened her mouth, about to say that she had never even seen what Gu Sang\'s grandmother looked like, so how could she possibly know about modern etiquette.

But before she could speak, she caught sight of Palace Maid Li trying to signal her, as if she had something to say.

She was truly afraid.

Afraid that Gu Sang would return because of her grandmother!

That she would snatch away the glory and wealth Gu Qingrou had worked so hard to obtain.

Gu Qingrou\'s mind raced, and her words took a different turn in her throat, becoming a few soft, weak inquiries.

"Your Majesty, I have never heard my sister speak of matters from the future."

"It wasn\'t until she started streaming that I learned how much she had kept from me."

"Let alone Gu Sang\'s grandmother, how could I possibly..."

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly think of me?"

Pei Changying glanced at Palace Maid Li, and Gu Qingrou understood that it was Palace Maid Li who had recommended her to the emperor.

However, she had no quarrel with Palace Maid Li, and as the Empress, unless Palace Maid Li had been kicked in the head by a donkey, she wouldn\'t harm her like this.

So there must be a reason...
