บท 416: Tea

Hearing what the Queen said, Gu Chaoyan got startled. She did not mention about the Empress Dowager's inquiry about the prescription, so it meant that the Queen had her own mole in Cining Palace?

And the reason why the Queen was asking her was because she trusted her, and did not care that she knew about her mole at Cining Palace?

She got really moved. She was moved that Zhou Huaijin defended her and that the Queen did not treat her as an outsider.

Gu Chaoyan felt like crying.

"I did." Gu Chaoyan answered, trying to conceal her utter gentleness.

"Oh, I was too late." The Queen said in disappointment. She felt that it was a pity.

Gu Chaoyan smiled. She had intended to pat her shoulder, but thinking of her social status, she had to withdraw herself.

Then she said, "Queen, you were not late. The Empress Dowager would always need this prescription no matter what. She would always have a way to get the prescription."
