Nanny Zheng knew that what she said was inappropriate and quickly tried to make amends.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind!
As the King of a Nation, what strange things have you not seen?!
"I, your Majesty, am simply on good terms with Madam Xue and would like to invite her to a chat. Please grant your permission, Your Majesty."
Empress Chen frowned slightly. If she continued to stop him after things had come to this, it would be seen as suppressing Concubine Zheng.
This old slave is as slippery as a loach. What should we do now?
Nangong Yunxue smiled and refused: "Madam, please tell the Concubine Shu that I will go to pay my respects to her when I am free!"
"Madam Xue, it's better to do it now than to wait for a good day. The flowers are in full bloom now, but they may not be as beautiful tomorrow.
Your Majesty has good intentions, Madam Xue should understand, right?
The Queen is still brewing tea and waiting for you, Madam Xue, let's go!"
Nangong Yunxue suddenly looked at Nanny Zheng. Was she insisting on going by herself?
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
What do they want to do?
Seeing this, Xiaoxing hurriedly used his spiritual sense to call Nangong Jiu.
"Your Majesty, the Madam seems to be in trouble! Your Majesty, please wake up! Your Majesty..."
Nangong Jiu half-opened one eye with difficulty and yawned: "What's going on?"
"That old rascal insisted that Madam go with her, saying that Concubine Zheng Shu wanted Madam to go appreciate the rare flowers."
"Concubine Zheng Shufei?" Nangong Jiuyi shuddered.
"That woman must have bad intentions!"
[Mother, you can't go. There must be something wrong here!]
【Watch me! 】
"Waaaaa..." Nangong Jiu burst into tears.
Nangong Yunxue immediately understood and held Nangong Jiu in her arms while walking and coaxing him.
"Oh oh oh...don't cry, don't cry, mommy will hold you."
The mother and daughter sang a duet.
Empress Chen also quickly chimed in: "You saw it too, the child is awake and crying. You should go back first."
"Waaaa..." Nangong Jiu cried even harder.
Nangong Yunxue said apologetically to Madam Zheng: "Madam, please thank Madam Shufei for me. The child is crying, and I can only let Madam Shufei down."
This bad kid ruined the queen's good deeds!
Listening to Nangong Jiu's crying, which was getting louder and louder, Matron Zheng cursed inwardly in frustration, squatted down in front of Empress Chen and Nangong Xue, and walked away.
Watching the person walk away, Nangong Yunxue patted Nangong Jiu: "Okay, she's gone!"
Nangong Jiu stopped crying immediately.
[Ouch, I'm so tired! My throat is sore from crying! Crying is such a tiring job!]
Nangong Yunxue suppressed her laughter: "You've helped mother a lot!"
Empress Chen watched the interaction between the mother and daughter and said with a smile: "You two mother and daughter work together very well."
[I'm so sleepy... My upper and lower eyelids don't want to be apart for too long, so I'll retire and let them reunite!]
Nangong Jiu stretched his arms and kicked his legs, then closed his eyes and continued to sleep soundly.
Nangong Yunxue put Nangong Jiu on the couch, and the palace maid found a blanket to cover him.
Only then did Queen Chen pull Nangong Yunxue to sit aside.
"Xue'er, something strange happened today. I've asked someone to investigate. I think we'll find out what they're up to soon.
This is a wake-up call for us. You should be more careful next time!"
"Yes!" Nangong Yunxue frowned and nodded.
"I will try to avoid her as much as possible. If I really can't avoid her, I won't be polite to her if she dares to harm me."
Empress Chen praised: "You don't need to hold back, just teach them a lesson!
If she dares to harm you and your daughter, neither I nor the Emperor will let her off easily."
Renchun Palace.
Liu Zhi rubbed his hands and paced around the room.
Concubine Zheng Shu was so annoyed by his tricks that she lost her patience: "My son, is this all you can do? Since ancient times, who in power hasn't been able to remain calm in the face of adversity?
Cultivate your character and make the country peaceful and prosperous. You should learn to be more careful and stop being so impulsive."
"Isn't this a little exciting for you? As long as she comes, I can make her behave well."
"My prince, this person has many eyes..."
Liu Zhi is determined to win.
"This is exactly the effect I want!
You don't have to do anything with her, but as long as she enters Renchun Palace and secretly meets with the Third Prince, she will never be able to clear herself from the blame."
"That's a good idea..." Concubine Zheng was interrupted by Nanny Zheng who came in hurriedly before she finished speaking.
"Your Majesty, I failed to bring the person back!" Madam Zheng reported self-reproachfully.
"What's going on?" Concubine Zheng looked at the disappointed Liu Zhi.
Nanny Zheng recounted her experience of going to Kunning Palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I dare not wait any longer. Otherwise, it will be too obvious!"
Concubine Zheng Shu nodded and cursed: "Chen Muyan, you actually ruined my good deeds!"
Liu Zhi was so angry that he slapped the pillar beside him and said, "Ah, she is lucky that she didn't seize this rare opportunity!
Mother, I have to go."
As he said this, he was about to go out. As soon as he walked out of Concubine Chen Shu's bedroom, he was blocked by several eunuchs who were called in.
"Your Highness, the Emperor wants to see you. Please come with us!"
Liu Zhi was startled. "What does your Majesty want from me? How did you know I was here?"
The eunuchs said calmly, "We don't know what exactly happened, but we've received an order to ask the Third Prince to go to the Imperial Study. He'll know once he gets there.
When we were leaving the palace for the Third Prince's residence, we heard the guards at the palace gate say you had entered the palace. We assumed you were staying with Consort Shu, so we came looking for you."
Liu Zhi had no choice but to go out first: "Let's go, I'm going to see my father!"
After Liu Zhi and the eunuchs left, Concubine Zheng Shu hurriedly instructed Nanny Zheng, "Go and find out why the Emperor wants to see the prince."
Nanny Zheng agreed and left quickly.
Kunning Palace.
The two female secret guards sent by Queen Chen to gather information were A Bing and A Qing, who had just investigated Liu Heng's identity and came to Kunning Palace to protect Nangong Xue.
At this moment, the two were reporting the results of their investigation: "Your Majesty, Madam Xue, the Third Prince Liu Zhi entered the Renchun Palace over an hour ago.
At this moment, I was called to the imperial study by several eunuchs."
Empress Chen and Nangong Yunxue were both shocked: "Liu Zhi is in Renchun Palace?"
"Yes, before Concubine Zheng Shu returned, Liu Zhi had already been waiting in Renchun Palace for a while. They had a long, secret conversation in Concubine Chen Shu's bedroom.
It was not until Madam Zheng returned that Liu Zhi left the bedroom with a grim expression, and was subsequently taken directly to the imperial study by several eunuchs.
Empress Chen sneered after hearing this: "So that's how it is. They are really calculating, mother and son!"
Nangong Yunxue's face turned pale: "My Lady, Xue'er escaped a disaster!
If I really go today, I'm afraid everyone in the capital will soon know that Xue'er is secretly meeting the Third Prince."
“Well, don’t worry, if they dare to plot against you, the emperor will definitely seek justice for you.
If that doesn't work, I'll go straight to Renchun Palace and give Zheng Yurou two slaps in the face."
"Mother, why are you so angry today? You want to beat someone up!"
Alang pushed Liu Hao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, into the hall accompanied by Liu Xuan.
Empress Chen was still angry and told the story in detail about what had happened before.
Liu Hao sneered.
"Is he seeking death?"
