Chapter 187 Madman, King Cheng is a madman!!
The night outside was as dark as ink. Nanny Jiang was walking on the corridor with a lantern in her hand, her mind a little distracted. Her mind was full of what Ayane had said before.
There was the girl from the Yuchi family who eloped with someone and hanged herself to death, and there was the girl from the Huo family who fell off her horse and was disfigured.
There was a lantern hanging on every three or five beams in the corridor, but the end that could not be seen in the distance was still pitch black, as if it wanted to swallow up people's minds.
Nanny Jiang suddenly remembered that Mr. Gu was kicked out of the Rong family. He was kicked out of the house by the Grand Tutor with blood all over his body. In the pouring rain, no matter how Gu Helian explained, no one believed that he had no intention of bullying the princess.
Later, on a rainy night, the princess was suddenly frightened and gave birth prematurely. That child...
Boom——
There was a loud thunder in the sky, which frightened Nanny Jiang so much that she screamed and the lantern in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.
A strong wind suddenly blew up, rustling the trees in the yard. In just a moment, it began to rain heavily from the sky. The downpour seemed to bring her back to the night when the princess gave birth.
Nanny Jiang's face was pale and she was shaking with fear. She hurried forward to pick up the lantern and wanted to turn back to the main courtyard. However, as soon as she raised her head, she felt a pain in her neck and fell straight down the next moment.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Nanny Jiang was awakened by the sound of thunder in her ears. She sat up in confusion and found that it was very dark around her. There was a screen not far away with candles lit inside.
The faint light shone through the screen into the outer room, making her lose track of where she was for a moment.
Nanny Jiang was a little panicked and tried to get up by supporting herself on the ground, but suddenly there was a flash of lightning outside. She was so scared that she subconsciously covered her ears. When she turned her head, she saw a figure sitting not far away under the lightning. She was so scared that she screamed.
"Who?"
Nanny Jiang stumbled back to the ground, her face pale: "You...what do you want to do..."
The figure in the dim light said in a low voice: "It's only been a short time, and Nanny Jiang doesn't even recognize me."
"Your Majesty?"
When Nanny Jiang heard the voice, she was stunned for a moment, and saw the figure in the dark reach out to take the candle by the table and light it. When the candlelight illuminated the outer room, the face of Prince Cheng was revealed.
Nanny Jiang's heart finally calmed down a bit, and she said with lingering fear, "It turned out to be the prince. I thought I had met a thief..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly remembered what had happened to her. The pain in the back of her neck reminded her that she had been knocked unconscious. She didn't even know how she got here.
Nanny Jiang's heart, which had just relaxed, became tense again. She suddenly became afraid when she saw Prince Cheng standing so close to her.
"Look at me, I fainted from the thunder. Fortunately, I met the prince, otherwise I don't know what would have happened to me."
Nanny Jiang suppressed her emotions and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of me. However, the princess is still ill and I don't know when she will wake up. I have to prepare some food for her and send it over. It's not good for her to stay here for long."
After she finished speaking, she squatted down and saluted, then turned around and tried to walk out. Unexpectedly, she was blocked by a figure after taking just two steps.
Seeing the person blocking her way, Nanny Jiang's face turned pale: "Prince?"
"Madam Jiang, what's the hurry?"
"I'm not in a hurry, but the princess can't leave without her..."
"Is it because you can't leave me, or is it because Madam doesn't want to see me? The way you avoid me makes me seem even more terrifying."
Nanny Jiang quickly put on a smile: "Your Highness, you are joking. I am just worried about the Princess..."
"Isn't Rong Yue being looked after by Xiao Yan's people?"
Prince Cheng raised his eyes to look at Nanny Jiang. In the dim candlelight, he could see her body trembling slightly. He tilted his head slightly and said:
"Rong Yue should have trusted you, but before she passed out, she handed over her affairs to Xiao Yan's people. You are her wet nurse. Is she guarding against me, or you?"
Nanny Jiang was startled: "I don't understand what the prince is saying..."
"Really? Then tell me why she suddenly fainted tonight?" King Cheng looked at her.
"I don't know..."
Nanny Jiang's lips turned pale, and her palms were clearly shaking, but she didn't dare show her fear. She just lowered her head and said, "Perhaps the princess is not in good health, and she has been busy and tired today..."
"Oh? I thought Rong Yue knew what Madam did back then."
“Your Majesty!!”
Nanny Jiang suddenly raised her head and looked at Prince Cheng, her voice suddenly sharp: "You promised me that you would never mention this matter again!!"
Prince Cheng's expression was cold: "Of course I don't want to mention it. I also want to get along well with Rong Yue and his wife, but it's those people who always want to destroy the relationship between me and Rong Yue."
"I love Rong Yue deeply and don't want to see her bewitched by others. As long as Madam tells me what Rong Yue knows, I will never mention what happened back then again, and I promise to keep it a secret for you."
How could Nanny Jiang still believe him? It was because she believed in his deep love that she was deceived by him and harmed Mr. Gu. Later, he expressed his gratitude and said sincerely that he would never mention it in the future, but on the day the princess gave birth, he used this to threaten her.
At that time, the princess was having a difficult delivery and the room was covered in blood. She was afraid that she could not save the princess's life, so she made one wrong step after another, and it was difficult to turn back.
She didn't dare to trust King Cheng anymore, but she was afraid of falling out with him.
Nanny Jiang said in a trembling voice, "I really don't know anything. The princess just blames you for your previous deception, so she holds a grudge against you. But she has been married to you for more than ten years, how could she easily break off this marital relationship? Your Highness, don't let your imagination run wild. After some time, the princess will slowly forgive you..."
"Jiang."
Prince Cheng cut her off with a cold glare, "You just said it, I've been married to Rong Yue for over ten years. Do you think I'm stupid?"
He looked up at the man in the room.
"I'll leave the person to you, ask clearly."
"Your Majesty!"
Nanny Jiang panicked instantly. Seeing that Prince Cheng was about to attack her, she quickly turned around and wanted to run away. But before she could take two steps, the man who had blocked her way earlier grabbed her by the back of the neck and pressed her to the ground.
"save--"
Nanny Jiang wanted to call for help, but before she could make a sound, the man pulled something out and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Wuwuwu——”
Nanny Jiang struggled desperately, trying to break free, but was pinned to the ground by the man. Before she could react, the man reached out and grabbed her arm and twisted it backwards.
“Ugh!!”
Nanny Jiang's pupils widened in pain, and she let out a suppressed cry from her blocked mouth, but the man showed no mercy. He stepped on her with one foot, leaving her unable to struggle and move, while with his other hand he twisted Nanny Jiang's fingers, bending them backwards one by one.
The sound of bones breaking was heard, and the fingers were broken one by one.
Nanny Jiang's face was distorted with pain, and she collapsed on the ground, crying "wuwu".
Prince Cheng looked down at Nanny Jiang, who was sweating and in a state of extreme embarrassment. "Just tell me why Rong Yue came back this time, and I will have you released, how about that?"
