Luzhu trembled.

She couldn’t believe her ears.

“Your Highness… You… You’re not going to punish this servant?”

Gu Nuo’er smiled. “Why would I punish you? Didn’t you help me and clear

Imperial Grandmother’s name?”

Luzhu said bitterly, “But this servant clearly saw that Luying and Grand Consort Yu wanted to frame the former empress back then, yet this servant didn’t say…”

She had lived almost her entire life in guilt and self-blame.

Luzhu had long been prepared and thought that Gu Nuo’er would definitely settle the score with her after this matter was over. However, the child didn’t.

At this moment, Gu Nuo’er smiled very innocently.

Her gaze, which was as velvet as the spring sun, looked out of the window through Luzhu. There was a butterfly flying around the flowers.

The child’s voice was soft. “It’s true that you did something wrong, but the real bad person has already been brought to justice. You’ve also lived most of your life in guilt.”

“Although I’ve never seen my imperial grandmother, I’ve read the biography she wrote. She’s a very magnanimous person. If she was still around, she probably wouldn’t blame you anymore.”

“It’s great that you’ve changed after knowing your mistake. You have to learn to let go of the past as Grand Consort Yu confesses.”

Gu Nuo’er’s smile was soft, her watery black eyes filled with a bright light. “Nanny Luzhu, from now on, you can live well.”

“Don’t be afraid to stand under the sunlight. You’ve cleared Imperial Grandmother’s grievances. Now, you have to be an upright person and be an example to your grandson, Qi Jingsheng.”

“I asked you what arrangements you had just now because I saw last time that Younger Brother Jingsheng actually knew how to discern words through hearing the sounds of a brush making paper. Moreover, he didn’t make a single mistake.”

“This is his talent. If he can be nurtured, he’ll definitely be of great use in the future. He’s young, but he’s already at the age of enlightenment.”

“How about this? Come to my sweet shop with him to help. I’ll find a teacher for him. No matter what, studying is the most important thing. We can’t waste his ability.”

Luzhu listened to Gu Nuo’er’s series of words.

She stood rooted to the ground in a daze, tears gradually welling up in her invisible turbid eyes.

Luzhu couldn’t help but think of how back then, when she was still a seven or eight-year-old girl, she was called to serve the former empress, Madam Chi.

At that time, Empress Chi was only a ten-year-old girl and was the eldest daughter of the Chi Family.

However, she didn’t put on any airs.

Luzhu’s hand was cracked and covered in wounds from frostbite.

Madam Chi’s heart ached as she said, “Can I teach you how to write in the future? Girls have to study too. This way, no matter where you go, you won’t be bullied!”

The past was still vivid in her mind and Luzhu regretted her actions.

She suddenly knelt down to Gu Nuo’er and kowtowed very loudly, tears streaming down her face. “Your Highness, thank you and thank the late Her

Majesty for her kindness. This servant has let her down!”

Gu Nuo’er waved her small hand, indicating for Ren Chao to help her up.

“Alright, go back and prepare.”

The two of them took their leave.

The child looked at Luzhu’s staggering and old back view, her eyes flickering.

Could she say that she didn’t blame Luzhu in her heart? She did feel some blame toward her.

After all, if Luzhu had been able to tell her what she had seen back then, perhaps her imperial grandmother would have had a chance to take precautions.

However, in the end, her imperial grandmother had only lost to the fact that the person she loved didn’t give her trust.

Moreover, Luzhu and her grandson were both blind and the rest of the family had died.

This was also a form of karma given by the heavens.

Heaven was watching what people were doing.

As for the past grudges, they were like a few lines on paper, written in a sloppy and simple manner.

However, the details were like layers of mountains and seas that covered the heavens and the earth to those who had experienced them back then.

It had left a deep mark on fate..
