Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter - Chapter 411

Chapter 411: Chapter 409: Grandpa Will Accompany You to the Palace_1
“I am indeed Lin Qingluo.”

Lin Qingluo smiled calmly, appearing relaxed on the surface, but inside, she had already cursed the Empress a million times.

She had only just joined their ranks on the first day, and someone was already causing trouble.

Would they allow her to catch her breath in peace?

“By the Emperor’s decree, Lin Qingluo has merited recognition for healing the Little Prince, and is hereby summoned to the palace for an audience.”

Seeing that she had no intention of kneeling and accepting the decree, the eunuch repeatedly signaled the Duke of Zhen to remind his own granddaughter.

However, even with his eyelids twitching, the Duke of Zhen remained unmoved, seemingly oblivious to the eunuch’s signals and making no response.

The Duke of Zhen saw it, but pretended not to.

He couldn’t bear to let his own granddaughter kneel down to an eunuch.

Even if it was in the name of the Empress, it wouldn’t work.

“Duke of Zhen, your granddaughter came from the countryside, and she doesn’t know the rules, do you not know them either?”

The eunuch rubbed his own eyelids angrily, just as he was about to vent his frustration, a scolding voice came from behind.

“How dare you! This is the Duke of Zhen’s residence, not a place for you to act wildly.”

The Old Master, leaning on his cane, walked slowly towards them. The elderly man exuded an aura of authority despite his calm demeanor.

“Old Master has arrived.”

The Duke of Zhen rejoiced in his heart, hurriedly walked a few steps forward, and supported his father’s thin body.

“Qingluo, don’t be afraid, grandpa will accompany you to the palace.”

Old Master slowly approached, holding Lin Qingluo’s tender little hand firmly, his eyes filled with unspeakable determination.

“Mmm, thank you grandpa.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes flickered with gratitude as she instinctively gripped the old man’s hand tightly.

Grandfather and granddaughter walked out of the Duke of Zhen’s residence together.

**

Mental Cultivation Hall.

The Empress glared at the life-saving token with a dark expression, as well as the kneeling grandfather and granddaughter duo who had their backs straight and showed neither humility nor arrogance.

Old Master’s eyes filled with tears, recounting the countless brave men of the Duke of Zhen’s residence since the Grand Ancestor established the empire a thousand years ago; they guarded their family and the country without fear of life or death.

Lin Qingluo’s eyes were slightly downcast, seemingly listening respectfully, while in reality, her consciousness extended outward, covering a radius of one thousand meters.

The eight faint presences inside the Cultivation Hall couldn’t avoid her probing.

Among them, two presences were particularly familiar.

Jifeng, Jiyu.

All eight of the Empress’s Qilin Guards had arrived.

It seemed that the Empress truly valued her!

To kill a ten-year-old girl, all eight of the Qilin Guards must come together.

Weren’t they afraid of being wiped out all at once?

Upon determining the hiding spots of the Qilin Guards, a playful smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

In her mind, she repeatedly imagined various attack moves, considering how best to execute a single killing move that could subdue the eight of them at the same time in the shortest time possible.

“Qingluo, the Empress is asking you a question.”

She was too absorbed in her thoughts, not paying attention when the Old Master’s passionate speech was drawing to an end.

The Empress stared at her with a gloomy expression, seemingly very dissatisfied with her disrespect.

No, not seemingly.

When she lifted her head and her absent-minded gaze met the Empress’s fierce eyes, she was absolutely certain that the woman was trying to find a way to put her to death.

“The Empress asks, how come you are proficient in medical arts.”

Seeing her bewildered expression, Old Master’s heart tightened, fretting secretly.

“Replying to Your Majesty, I had a fortuitous encounter when I was young.”

Lin Qingluo suddenly became enlightened, smiling calmly, “I met a reclusive expert who had been in hiding for a long time. Before his death, he passed on all his lifelong skills and medical knowledge to me.”

The cunning little girl made up such a story!

The Empress’s face darkened, almost black as ink.

Upon hearing this, the Old Master, on the other hand, was overjoyed and proud of his intelligent granddaughter.
