Chapter 640: Chapter 639: Keeping Her Will Be A Disaster

"Linglong, my Linglong has really come back!"

The Empress Dowager, very excited, alighted from the Imperial Carriage.

Palace maids and eunuchs supported her, but she pushed them all away with one sweep of her arm.

Chu Qianli initially did not notice the Empress Dowager’s entourage until she heard the commotion and turned around, only to see an old woman rush toward her and embrace her tightly.

"Linglong!"

The Empress Dowager was indeed very excited.

They all said that her Linglong had died on the battlefield.

For many years, the Empress Dowager had been accustomed to having a little girl by her side, and when she received the news of her death in battle, the Empress Dowager was dumbfounded.

In the days that followed, she fell ill and became somewhat delirious, but today she felt a little better and happened to be out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, on the palace grounds, she caught sight of her Linglong at first glance!

Yu Linglong had returned!

"The Empress Dowager?" When Eunuch Qing saw this, he was taken aback and quickly joined the small palace maiden and the other eunuchs in supporting her.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, this... this is the Empress of Longteng Country... Chu Qianli."

Eunuch Qing softened his tone when he said the last three words.

Firstly, to call an Empress by her name directly was a great disrespect, even if she was the Empress of another country, and he was just a chief eunuch.

Secondly, the Empress Dowager knew Chu Qianli.

The Empress Dowager did not use to like her.

Chu Qianli...

The Empress Dowager had tears in her eyes as she looked up at the young woman before her.

That magnificent dress was clearly Linglong’s favorite style, and looking from behind, it was indeed Linglong.

But this face...

"Impossible, you are Linglong, you are Linglong."

The Empress Dowager’s voice was very hoarse, as she let go of Chu Qianli and reached out to touch her face.

Chu Qianli instinctively stepped back two paces, avoiding her touch.

The Empress Dowager was on the verge of tears: "You are Linglong, you are Linglong! Why won’t you recognize me? You are Linglong!"

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, she really is not Miss Yu. Please look carefully, she is Miss Chu, the Empress of Longteng Country, the former Princess of Xuan," said Eunuch Qing.

Eunuch Qing knew that the Empress Dowager’s health was poor and did not want to upset her, but Yu Linglong was indeed dead.

The Empress Dowager’s eyesight was really not good, and these days, because of Linglong’s death, she cried so much that her vision was blurred.

But she could still make out outlines fairly clearly.

Most importantly, this feeling was very real and not at all false!

"Impossible, when I was holding her just now, this body was unequivocally Linglong’s!"

Chu Qianli’s expression changed as she said unhappily, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, Yu Linglong is dead, I am Chu Qianli!"

"Listen, this voice, it’s also an imitation by Linglong!"

The Empress Dowager’s eyes were filled with tears, but also shone with hope.

"Eunuch Qing, did you hear clearly? Linglong used to be very good at imitating others’ voices, and she would often do it to make me happy. I heard it very clearly!"

"Linglong, why do you pretend to be someone else? Are you trying to amuse me again?"

Chu Qianli’s heart clenched suddenly, nearly having been scared to death by the Empress Dowager!

She had indeed, in the past, imitated others’ voices in front of her to cheer her up.

This was something unknown to others, but the Empress Dowager knew very well!

Unexpectedly today, she nearly got exposed by this wretched old woman!

Panic surged within her, but she maintained a calm exterior.

After glancing at Eunuch Qing, she said coldly, "Isn’t the Emperor seriously ill? Why haven’t you brought me to check his pulse and see him? If the Emperor’s condition worsens because of your delay, can you bear the responsibility?"

As for this Empress Dowager before her...

This wretched old woman knew Yu Linglong too well!

She could not be allowed to stay!

She would surely become a calamity if she stayed.
