238 She Really Did Not Want to See Her Cousin

The empress dowager listened to Princess Liuying’s words and nodded in agreement. “Your words are very reasonable. Bi Zhu, go and call little six over.”

“Yes.” The nanny smiled and went to invite her over.

Princess Liuying drank her tea and waited quietly. In a short while, a young girl wearing a pink dress with snow-white skin arrived.

The young girl had a doll-like face that made people love her. Her peach blossom-like eyes were filled with water. Under her nose was a small cherry-like mouth. When she walked into the main hall, she cutely bowed to the empress dowager. “Yu’er greets her grandmother.”

The empress dowager hurriedly waved her hand. “I’ve already told you, there’s no need to bow. You little girl, do you want your imperial grandmother to worry about you?”

“Your servant greets Your Highness the princess. Your Highness’s body is weak, please take a seat.” Princess Liuying said warmly.

“There’s no need to sit on that hard stool. Little Six, come sit beside me. It’s just nice for grandmother to see you.” The empress dowager smiled lovingly.

Gong Lingyu stood up and walked to the empress dowager’s side with the help of the nanny. She coughed weakly twice.

Looking at Gong Lingyu’s palm-sized face, the empress dowager’s face was filled with worry. “Looking at how weak you are, I am really worried. Little Six, did you take the medicine on time?”

Gong Lingyu smiled sweetly. “Of course I did. The painkiller prescribed by the imperial physician is very effective. I take the medicine on time every day, so I won’t be in so much pain that I can’t get up every day.”

“The empress dowager has always doted on the sixth princess the most. She can’t bear to see the sixth princess live on medicine all the time. Coincidentally, there is a lady in Qingyuan Town who is highly skilled in medicine. The sixth princess might as well go and look for that lady,” Princess Liuying said gently.

“You mean, a female doctor?” Gong Lingyu’s eyes immediately lit up when she heard that the other party was a woman.

If the other party was a woman, then she might be able to tell her secret to the other party…

Gong Lingyu thought to herself, but she did not show it on her face.

The empress dowager held onto Gong Lingyu’s small hand, she gently advised, “You are weak and often in pain. You need to take painkillers every day to act like an ordinary person. This really makes me very worried. I will get someone to escort you to Qingyuan Town. Coincidentally, your cousin is also here. You can go look for him…”

“Cousin is also there?” Gong Lingyu’s expression suddenly changed, and resistance rose in her eyes. “Imperial grandmother, actually, I don’t think my illness is that serious. This is quite good.”

“What’s good about it? Be obedient. You have to go,” the empress dowager said firmly.

Gong Lingyu originally had a stomach full of words stuck in her throat. In the end, she could only silently lower her head and choose to acquiesce.

However, she really did not want to see her cousin. Her cousin was the prince regent and usually did not smile or speak. He also did not like people to be indecisive. What if she was careless and angered her cousin?

Princess Liuying saw Gong Lingyu’s sad face, she smiled and continued, “Looking at the princess’ expression, I know how much the princess misses the empress dowager. Empress dowager, in my opinion, the sixth princess is going on a long trip for the first time. It is better to have reliable people by her side.”

“I feel that Miao Yin is serving me very well,” Gong Lingyu said softly as she looked at the little handmaiden who was following closely by her side.

“It’s good that the princess dotes on her handmaidens. However, Lady Miao Yin is still young and is not as loyal as the servants of the gong family in the past. I heard that the great handmaiden Cao Duo by Madam Gong’s side is better. Back when the Gong family was at its peak, she once accompanied Madam Gong to the border to visit the great general of the Gong family. I believe that she is a reliable candidate,” Princess Liuying suggested.
