Gu Yu cried, "The year the Empress entered the palace, I was serving by your side."
The Empress Qi said "Oh", "That's been more than ten years. During these ten years, have you ever betrayed me?"
"Never, never." Gu Yu shook her head as if it were about to fall off, "I swear to the heavens and earth that I have been loyal to the Empress and never dared to have a second thought."
The Empress Qi then asked her, "What do you mean by loyalty?"
Gu Yu was stunned and only when she received the increasingly cold gaze from the Empress Qi did she hurriedly say, "The Empress is the master, and I am the servant. Whatever the Empress says is what it is. I just follow orders and never ask or meddle, and certainly never go against the Empress's wishes."
