Chapter 928: Chapter 922: The Emperor’s Instructions

Today, Xiang Chun received some critical news and, ignoring her appearance, rushed into Gu Youyou’s pharmacy to tell her about the earth-shattering event.

"What’s the hurry for running like this? There’s water on the table, catch your breath before you speak."

Panting heavily, Xiang Chun poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down.

She said, "It’s said that the Emperor found out the Princess was an imposter and was furious. She has already been stripped of her imperial family membership and directly expelled from Beijing."

"Is that so?" Gu Youyou put down her work and turned around, "Considering she impersonated an heir, and they didn’t behead her, just stripped her of her family status and expelled her from Beijing?"

"Impersonating an heir is a crime punishable by death. However, because she was quite young at the time, and she doesn’t even remember anything from before she was three, everyone said such a small child must have been used by others. The fault was not hers. The Emperor raised her, and there was some affection, so in his kindness, he didn’t have her killed, just expelled her from Beijing."

Gu Youyou nodded blankly, thinking that even if not sentenced to death, they should have at least detained her to investigate who was behind the incident from those years before deciding on her punishment. Why did they just let her go?

But the thoughts of the Imperial Family are not always ones that can be derived from common reasoning.

Who knows the deeper intentions of the Emperor in making such a decision.

"Where has she gone now?"

Jin Fengzhao must now be like a dog who has lost its home, her once proud identity gone. Gu Youyou touched her face, remembering the humiliation of that day. She indeed wanted to add insult to injury.

Xiang Chun said, "Besides being a Princess, she is still Madam of the Great General of the Xiao Family. Having been expelled from Beijing, she naturally went to Jinxiu City to return to the General Residence."

Back to the General Residence, huh? Gu Youyou couldn’t help but smirk.

If she remembered correctly, she reigned supreme in the General Residence, untouchable due to her status as a Princess. If not for her status, the Great General would have likely hacked her to death long ago. It’s said that she is why the Great General still has no heirs to this day.

This is not the Emperor being merciful by letting her go; sending her back to the Xiao Family is a fate worse than death.

Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west, in the second half of her life in the Xiao Family’s inner residence, all those concubines she had bullied surely would bully her in return mercilessly?

At this moment, a maid rushed in and said to Gu Youyou, "Cousin Miss, the Emperor has sent a Eunuch from the palace to find you."

As Gu Youyou was relishing the misfortune, hearing that a Eunuch had come looking for her, her face immediately fell.

Jin Fengzhao had just met with disaster; could it be that she was involved so soon?

Going to the Imperial Palace truly brought a lot of trouble.

Gu Youyou followed the maid out, with Xiang Chun worriedly tagging along.

"Cousin Miss, be tactful and don’t act impulsively."

The visitor was Eunuch Wan, whom Gu Youyou knew. Aunt Lin Madam had him seated in the flower hall, sitting respectfully opposite.

Seeing Gu Youyou arrive, his aged face broke into a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum. He quickly stood up, taking out a beautifully crafted box.

"This humble servant is here to run an errand for the Emperor, returning something belonging to Doctor Gu."

Surprised, Gu Youyou took the box, opened it, and shocked, she quickly closed the lid.

"May I ask, Eunuch, what is the Emperor’s intention?"

Eunuch Wan, ever so slick, hastily smiled and said, "This humble servant wouldn’t dare presume to grasp the divine will. After personally delivering it into Doctor Gu’s own hands and ensuring everything is in order, this servant will return to the palace to report."
