The Grand Empress Dowager lay on her bed, unable to fall asleep.
From the bottom of her heart, she had never thought of letting the Gu family leave the capital.
However, she felt that the Emperor was right. Gu shouxin had been away for a few years. After he had made some achievements, it would be easier to promote him when he returned.
She had a way to get the Emperor to reward the Gu family with a title of nobility, but if the Gu family was not involved, would they be able to keep the title?
She was already 70 years old. She did not know how many more years she could live. At most, she could protect the Gu family for more than ten years.
What about ten years later?
She had personally raised the Emperor, and she believed that the Emperor would be able to protect the Gu family before she died.
But what about the next emperor? Who could guarantee that?
……
At the Gu residence.
After dinner, Gu shouxin asked uncle Gu to go with the two elders.
