But he immediately denied this guess in his heart.
After all, she came from the palace and was the nanny who raised Changsun Wuji, so she was very stable.
Nanny Kang said calmly, "I have always served the Regent. Apart from the Regent and His Majesty, I have no relatives or friends, and no other concerns."
Putting aside their identities, she cared for them as if they were her own children and grandchildren.
"If I am not mistaken, after Miss Mu's wedding ceremony, Princess, you will surely go to look for Miss Jiuer. And if you go, the prince will surely follow you."
She did not hide the fact that she had also heard about the treasure map related to Jiuer.
"Although I am old, my eyesight and hearing are not blurry. Moreover, since this concerns the health of the prince, I am not afraid that you will think I am overstepping the boundaries. I have indeed asked people to inquire about it in various ways."
"I put what I learned into context with some of the things I knew before..."
This time, she stared at Baili Feiyue deeply, "The prince is infected with the human poison, right?"
Baili Feiyue smiled with interest.
"As expected of Aunt Kang, you even know about the existence of something as strange as the Human Gu."
Nanny Kang was also meaningful, "Not only does this old slave know, but he also knows that the person who was the Gu is Princess Jing'an."
Baili Feiyue raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at her.
Aunt Kang smiled and said, "It's not hard to guess. Considering Princess Jing'an's identity and your attitude towards her, it's easy to connect the dots."
"Princess, would you like to hear a story from me? Of course, with your ability, you may have heard this story before, but what I tell you may be a little different from what you heard elsewhere."
Baili Feiyue narrowed her dark eyes slightly, "I'm very interested."
"More than 20 years ago, a beautiful woman with unconventional medical skills came to Dajing and asked the then Dajing Emperor for help..."
Baili Feiyue had heard this story from Ling Duannian and Changsun Wuji in Xinyi Valley.
The woman failed to seek help and was trapped instead. She was forced to give birth to the child of the person who trapped her. Finally, she was killed by her own child and burned in Xinyi Valley.
As soon as Nanny Kang saw Baili Feiyue's expression, she understood, "It seems that the princess does know a lot."
"Not as much as you, Aunt Kang. I guess Aunt Kang is the 'deaf-mute' maid who took away one of the children."
"Yes, I was a maid who was about to be released from the palace. But because I accidentally saw a concubine's private affairs, I was forced to drink a drug that made me deaf and dumb and could only wait for death.
Just when I could only wait for death in a corner of the palace, I met the stunning woman who came to Dajing to ask for help. I didn't know where I came from and she saved me and cured me of the poison.
"I'm sure the princess knows that the stunning woman who saved this old slave is the regent's biological mother, who later became Consort Chen. Empress Xinyi."
“At the beginning, although the poison was cured, in order to deceive the eyes and ears of the palace concubine, I still pretended to be deaf and dumb and continued to stay in the palace. I did not find an opportunity to leave the palace immediately.
Besides, I have received a great favor from you, and I want to repay you. But unexpectedly, Xinyi, who was a distinguished guest in the palace at that time, suddenly disappeared. "
"She disappeared so suddenly. Xinyi's medical skills were amazing, and she was also extremely beautiful. I wondered if it was related to the then Emperor Dajing. So I carefully searched everywhere in the palace day and night to make sure whether Xinyi was hidden or locked up."
"I have been searching for three whole months. Just when I was in despair, one dark night, the emperor summoned me and asked me to take care of someone. Of course, I pretended not to hear what he said. I just kept making anxious noises while kowtow- ing ."
"The Emperor is very pleased with this old servant who is 'deaf and dumb'. So..."
"Yes, that's how I saw Xinyi. In a secret room somewhere underground in the palace, Xinyi was chained by a huge cold iron chain, barely recognizable as a human!"
When she said this, a strong hatred flashed in Nanny Kang's eyes.
"After the emperor left, I found out that it was Xinyi who suggested that I, a 'deaf and dumb' palace maid, take care of her. Moreover, Xinyi told me that she was pregnant, but she didn't even have the strength and ability to kill the baby in her belly. She asked me to sneak in some abortion pills for her..."
"The baby in her belly was too tenacious. I found two opportunities to steal abortion pills but they didn't work. Xinyi's belly was getting bigger and bigger. The emperor didn't stop torturing her just because she was pregnant, but the baby still stayed in her belly."
"That beastly emperor has been forcing Xinyi to make him a 'human poison'. He heard from somewhere that the human poison can allow him to control the people he wants to control, and even prolong his life."
"He even used the child in Xinyi's belly to force her to agree. Xinyi sneered and told him that she never wanted to give birth to this bastard. The emperor left in anger again."
"Xinyi told me to kick her in the stomach and get the baby out..." Aunt Kang suddenly burst into tears, "I couldn't refuse my benefactor, and I couldn't refuse her, so I did it. But seeing how much pain she was in, I finally gave up..."
"When Xinyi's children were born, the emperor was not around. Xinyi asked me to take the two little ones out, tie a few stones to them and throw them into the lotus pond to drown them. How could I bear to do that? How could I bear to do that?"
"But I know that if these two children fall into the hands of the emperor, Xinyi and the children will be worse off than dead. But I also know that if both children suddenly 'disappear', Xinyi will only be treated even more cruelly and horribly."
"I thought, at least one should be saved. At least one of Xinyi's children should survive. Because the emperor didn't even know that Xinyi was pregnant with twins!"
"Even when those two children were just born, you could tell they were incredibly beautiful, and they resembled Xinyi in many ways."
"One of the children cried weakly, while the other child didn't cry at all. While his brother cried like a kitten, the other child stared at Xinyi with his emotionless purple eyes."
"Xinyi screamed like crazy when she saw him. She said he was..." Nanny Kang paused and didn't say what it was.
"I knew the emperor was coming when I saw the time. I didn't care about anything else. I just picked up a child and ran as fast as I could..."
"Although I am just an ordinary palace maid, I have been in the palace for many years. Since I found Xinyi, I have been thinking of ways to secretly rescue her. So, I have already arranged some ways. At that time, I didn't care about many things. I hid the child in a toilet and sneaked out of the palace..."
"After leaving the palace and reaching a relatively safe place, I realized that the child I held out was the one with the purple eyes."
