In the afternoon, after finishing all her work, Song Xibai went for a walk as usual.

The weather has been fine these past few days, with no strong winds or heavy snow. The plum trees in front of Renshou Palace are in full bloom, looking very beautiful.

Song Xibai, wearing a fox fur cloak and with his hands tucked into his sleeves, walked out of Changqing Palace chatting and laughing with Wei Hong.

But as soon as she stepped outside, she saw a figure quickly appear beside her and kneel down in front of her.

Song Xibai looked closely and couldn't help but show surprise.

"Wen Niang? What are you doing? Get up quickly."

Wen Niang first kowtowed.

"This servant has come to express her gratitude. Your Majesty is kind and has allowed me to stay in Changqing Palace. I am deeply grateful and have no way to repay you."

"This matter! Get up, get up. It's not a big deal. The punishment has been given, and it's over. You don't need to act like this."

Song Xibai stepped forward and helped her up.

"How's the injury? Does it need more medication?"

Wen Niang looked embarrassed and said, "I'm almost fully recovered. I stopped taking the medicine the day before yesterday. I thought that although it was an external application, it stayed inside the body for a long time, which wasn't good for the young master, so I stopped taking it on my own initiative. Miss Dingxiang also said that she can go back to serve the young masters tomorrow."

Song Xibai didn't hold much grudge against her and pulled her along as they walked forward.

She was very angry when the incident happened, but several days have passed and her anger has subsided. After calming down, she treats Wenniang the same as before.

Wen Niang felt grateful and took a few steps forward. Seeing that the palace maids behind her were not very close, she suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, this servant believes that someone in Changqing Palace is causing trouble."

Song Xibai paused slightly and glanced at her again.

"Oh? How did you know?"

Wen Niang lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

“These past few days, while we were recuperating, we have stayed indoors and dared not make any moves. But just now, I discovered that someone is trying to sow discord between Jin and the wet nurse.”

Song Xibai paused for a moment, but before anyone else could react, she resumed her normal pace.

Even the expression on his face showed no change.

However, his tone was somewhat lower.

Are you sure?

Wen Niang nodded: "Jin Wet Nurse is simple-minded, as you know, she is very trusting. A little palace maid who was responsible for lifting the curtain told her that the new wet nurse was doing a particularly good job and was better than her in every way. Jin Wet Nurse felt uneasy and told me about it."

At first glance, this seems like a perfectly normal thing, with nothing wrong with it.

But upon closer inspection, nothing seemed quite right.

Wen Niang and Jin Nanny lived and ate together, so why did the little palace maid only talk to Jin Nanny and avoid talking to Wen Niang?

Furthermore, the little palace maid who lifts the curtain is not even second-class; she cannot even enter the palace at will. Why would she say these things to the wet nurse?

This aroused Jin's unease. Once she returned to serve, she would definitely find fault with Qiao's wet nurse in every way. At that time, she might deliberately target Qiao's wet nurse and do something outrageous.

These thoughts flashed through Song Xibai's mind.

She glanced at Wenniang, then at the three palace maids following behind her.

"Do you think that the people around me are untrustworthy, so you dare not report inside the palace and instead wait outside the gate?"

Wenniang lowered her head even further.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I was just worried..."

Song Xibai sighed softly and patted her arm.

"I'm not blaming you."

Song Xibai sighed with relief, finally having a cautious and intelligent person by her side.

It wasn't easy!

Although she has many people under her command, in reality, only a few are truly capable. Most of them have unclear backgrounds, and it's unknown whether they have powerful backers.

She truly trusted only a handful of people. Wei Hong was loyal, but frankly, she wasn't that clever and lacked sensitivity to palace intrigue. Fu Liu was intelligent, but she was also cunning.

Four springs have passed, but it's not yet clear; we need to observe for a while longer.

Wen Niang used to be very attentive to the children, but she wasn't as perceptive about other things.

Unexpectedly, after being beaten, he suddenly became clever.

Song Xibai wondered to himself: Has this opened up the Ren and Du meridians?

Regardless, the news brought by Wen Niang was invaluable good news for Song Xibai.

“You’re very thoughtful. I’ll have someone keep an eye on this. Just don’t let it show, so as not to alert anyone.”

Wen Niang's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly nodded in agreement.

In a short while, Song Xibai's expression and tone returned to normal, and he pulled Wen Niang aside to chat about other things with a smile.

After expressing her worries, Wen Niang relaxed and followed Song Xibai to stroll through the plum grove, even picking two beautiful red plum blossoms to take back with her.

The next day, Wenniang and Jin Nainiang returned to Zhaojing and Zhaoyan's side.

Nanny Qiao showed no hostility towards the two of them; on the contrary, she warmly pulled them aside and asked them all sorts of questions.

Wen Niang didn't say anything else, only said lightly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Then, she walked to the bedside and greeted the two young masters lying on the bed.

Zhao Jing was eating toes when she suddenly heard a familiar voice. She immediately put her feet down, looked up, and saw a magnified face. She stared at it for a long time before opening her arms.

Wen Niang felt a great weight lifted from her heart and smiled happily.

"Does the princess still remember me?"

She reached out to hug Zhaojing, who didn't resist at all and obediently let her hug her.

As soon as I picked her up, Zhaojing's two little hands reached out to find the "food bag," her movements quite practiced.

The wet nurse came closer.
