Old Man Gu was so touched he could have cried. He reached out and took it. "You're such a thoughtful girl."
Zhan Yi also reached out for one, clutching the bright red apple tightly as a wave of emotions washed over him. An apple from his granddaughter. He immediately took a bite. 'So sweet.'
Old Man Gu tucked the apple into his sleeve, unable to bring himself to eat it. He looked up and asked, "What exactly happened? You caused such a huge commotion, so how is it the Emperor still allowed you to eat pastries?"
Ye Qianning smiled enigmatically.
"Eating pastries is nothing," Mr. Li said, a hint of pride in his voice. "The Emperor also bestowed upon Miss Xiang a Life-Extending Pill to cure Fourth Granny's illness."
"A Life... a Life-Extending Pill?" Old Man Gu was stunned.
"Is it really a Life-Extending Pill?" As someone who studied alchemy, Zhan Yi knew just how precious the Life-Extending Pill was. It was something money couldn't buy.
