Chapter 638 Only Tang Ning
Nanny Ran smiled and said, "I am here on the orders of the Empress Dowager to summon Princess Xiangning to serve her."
Qian Qiyue didn't expect that they had just said that the empress dowager would not summon her, but now someone came.
She quickly stood up and patted her sleeves that had rubbed dust against the window. "Then Madam Ran, please wait a moment. I'll send someone to find Madam Rong. We'll go over with Tang Ning later."
Unexpectedly, Nanny Ran said, "Wait a minute, Miss Qian. The Empress Dowager has only summoned Princess Xiangning."
Qian Qiyue was stunned. She only summoned Tang Ning?
Rong Yue, who had just heard the arrival of someone from Shoukang Palace from a distance and hurried over from the South Side Hall, said directly, "Madam Ran, Tang Ning and I have been in the palace for a long time, but we have never had the opportunity to attend to the Empress Dowager's illness. Now that the Empress Dowager has summoned me, I should go with Tang Ning."
Qian Qiyue also quickly said: "Yes, we have been in the palace for so many days, but we have not yet served her medicine to the Empress Dowager..."
"Don't worry, Miss Qian." Nanny Ran still had a smile on her face, but her tone was unquestionable: "The Empress Dowager understands your and Madam Rongguo's feelings. She will summon you to serve her later. But now, the Empress Dowager only wants to see Princess Xiangning."
"But……"
Qian Qiyue suddenly became anxious. She had promised Xiao Yan that she would stay with Tang Ning all the time!
Qian Qiyue was not willing to let Tang Ning go to Shoukang Palace alone. She quickly opened her mouth to speak, but Tang Ning reached out and held her back.
"Tang Ning..."
Qian Qiyue turned her head and saw Tang Ning shaking his head at her.
Nanny Ran clearly didn't intend to let Qian Qiyue and her aunt go with her, and it was obviously the Empress Dowager's intention for her to say this.
Tang Ning stopped Qian Qiyue from saying anything else and looked up at Nanny Ran and said, "I just used the mutton hotpot that the Empress Dowager gave me, and I'm full of the foul smell. Nanny Ran, please wait for a moment. I'll change my clothes and go with you to see the Empress Dowager."
Nanny Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be waiting outside."
…
After Rong Yue entered the east wing hall, Qian Qiyue and Zhou Yuchang also followed Tang Ning into the inner room.
Yuejian walked to the box nearby and quickly took out a set of clean and fitting clothes for Tang Ning.
Zhou Yuchang felt that the atmosphere was a little strange and couldn't help but whispered, "Ayue, what's wrong with you guys?"
Qian Qiyue didn't reply to Zhou Yuchang's words. She just lowered her voice and said to Tang Ning, "How could you agree to go with her alone? The Queen Mother hasn't summoned us for such a long time. Now she suddenly wants to see you alone. Who knows what she wants to do?"
Rong Yue also frowned: "Do you want me to go directly to Shoukang Palace with you?"
Tang Ning shook her head. "Since Nanny Ran has publicly announced that the Queen Mother only wants to see me, if Auntie insists on going with me, she would be disobeying the Queen Mother's order. Since we have already entered the palace, there is no need to give others a chance to criticize us over such trivial matters. I will just go."
"But..." Rong Yue hesitated.
Tang Ning raised her hand to let Yue Jian change her clothes, and said to the two worried people:
"Don't worry, Auntie. Everyone in the capital knows that we've entered the palace. If the Queen Mother wants to do something, she won't tell me alone. Besides, my brother is still outside the palace. I'm just his weakness in their eyes. They can manipulate and plot against me, but they dare not really hurt me.
Otherwise, if something happened to her in Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother would only anger Xiao Yan and disrupt the stable situation that had been maintained with great difficulty. The Queen Mother and Emperor An would not have an easy time either.
The Queen Mother is a smart person and would never do such a stupid thing.
Seeing Rong Yue still hesitant, Tang Ning said:
"I will ask Yue Jian to go with me and have her wait for me outside the Queen Mother's bedroom. If anything really happens, the people in Shoukang Palace can't stop her. Besides, I promised my brother that I would not let anything happen to me."
"If the Queen Mother really wants to take a risk, then I won't be polite to her."
Tang Ning touched the thing that he always wore on his wrist, and his eyes became cold.
It's not just the royal family that will suffer a life-and-death struggle.
Rong Yue and Qian Qiyue saw that Tang Ning had made up her mind. Even though they were worried, there was nothing they could do. Yue Jian, on the other hand, was tying the belt around Tang Ning's waist while saying, "Don't worry, Madam. I will protect the girl."
She hung a jade bell around Tang Ning's waist:
"This bell has secrets. It won't make any sound when shaken, but it will make a strange noise when broken. If the girl is in danger later, break this jade bell and I will go in immediately."
Tang Ning touched the jade bell with green tassels and nodded: "Okay."
Zhou Yuchang stood aside and listened to what they were saying, feeling as if she understood something but not quite. However, seeing that Rong Yue and the others all looked unhappy, she did not dare to ask. She only vaguely guessed that the Queen Mother summoned Tang Ning for something else.
…
When Tang Ning changed his clothes and tied his cloak and came out of the east side hall, Xuan Qiwen and Fu Jinrou had not left yet.
Xuan Qiwen asked curiously, "Madam Ran, why did my aunt suddenly call Song Tangning over?"
Nanny Ran said, "I don't know what the Queen Mother ordered."
Xuan Qiwen rolled her eyes and said, "Then I can just go over and talk to my aunt..."
Nanny Ran smiled and said, "No need. The Empress Dowager just had lunch. After meeting Princess Xiangning, she'll probably need to take a nap. Since Madam Xuan came out to enjoy the snow, there's no need to rush back. You can go over and accompany her later."
Before Xuan Qiwen could speak again, Nanny Ran saw Tang Ning coming out and walked forward with a smile.
"My princess, have you packed up yet? The Queen Mother is waiting for you."
Tang Ning nodded: "It's settled, let's go."
"Princess, please come this way."
When Tang Ning left with Nanny Ran, Yue Jian followed directly behind her.
When Nanny Ran saw her leading the maid, she was stunned for a moment, but did not say anything to disallow it.
Rong Yue and Qian Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. If the empress dowager didn't even allow Tang Ning to bring her maid, then no matter what Tang Ning said, they would never agree to let her go to Shoukang Palace alone.
Xuan Qiwen stood in front of the east wing hall, watching Nanny Ran and the others leave. Nanny Ran, who had served the empress dowager for many years and was of noble status, was actually very respectful to Tang Ning. Not only did she walk in front to lead the way for Tang Ning, she also spoke to him in a very kind manner. She couldn't help but show a bit of jealousy.
Qian Qiyue turned her head and saw the expression on her face that hadn't been restrained in time. She said coldly, "Please put away the viciousness on your face. You are ugly to begin with, and if you are even more evil-minded, you will look like a ghost and scare people to death in broad daylight."
"Qian Qiyue!"
"Why are you yelling? Are you trying to show off your loud voice?"
Qian Qiyue retorted rudely, pushing the person away with one arm, and dragged Zhou Yuchang and Rong Yue inside, saying rudely, "Shilan, hurry up and send these irrelevant people away. Don't offend us and my aunt. It makes me upset just by looking at them."
Shi Lan smiled and stepped forward to block.
"Miss Xuan, please."
