Chapter 565: Nanny Li takes the eldest prince away
What’s strange is that Nanny Li’s son is only one month older than the third child, which means that the child came to apply for a wet nurse just after he was one month old.
Normally, most mothers would be reluctant to abandon their child since the child was only one month old, but she actually did.
This is a bit intriguing.
She immediately called the secret guards and asked them to monitor Nanny Li for twelve hours a day, including all three nannies.
Su Yue was wondering what Nanny Li was trying to do. Could it be that she wanted to replace the prince with a cat?
After becoming familiar with the eldest prince, can she secretly take him out of the palace and exchange him for her son?
Su Yue felt that this was unlikely. After all, the third child only had one face. If he had a different face, wouldn't it be exposed immediately?
Su Yue couldn't figure out what Nanny Li wanted to do, so she simply waited for Murong Li to come back and tell him so that he could investigate.
It’s not that we can’t capture Nanny Li and torture her. That method should only be used as a last resort. We still have to find out their purpose so that we can take precautions before it happens.
Murong Li came back very late in the evening, and Su Yue told him everything that happened that day.
Murong Li looked at the information that the secret guard had found, thought for a moment, and said, "I can't figure out what her intentions are. Let's take a look. The day after tomorrow is the children's full moon banquet. If she wants to do something, it will probably happen that day."
Su Yue had no choice but to give up and wait and see the day after tomorrow.
The next day, Su Yue paid special attention to Nanny Li and found that she had behaved herself better. She only stared at the prince while nursing him.
There was a complicated look in his eyes that Su Yue couldn't understand.
The next day, all the officials and dignitaries in the capital brought their families to the palace at noon to attend the full moon banquet for the third child. Gifts had already been sent to each family.
Su Yue also packed up. Today she was wearing a bright red palace dress and a jade phoenix hairpin on her head. She was incredibly beautiful.
Murong Li was stunned. Su Yue seldom wore red clothes, but today, she looked as white as snow and was so beautiful that she seemed like an unearthly beauty.
Su Yue pulled him and said, "Hurry up, the palace banquet is about to begin."
Murong Li nodded, let Su Yue hold his arm, and the group headed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The three cubs were held by Yueying and the other two. Not only were they escorted all the way by personal guards, but there were also secret guards. Of course, three wet nurses also followed, as well as several palace maids, eunuchs, and nannies. The group was very grand.
When they arrived at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a eunuch immediately sang: "The Emperor, the Empress, and the three princes have arrived!"
As soon as the eunuch finished singing, Murong Li and Su Yue came in together.
"Your servants and I respectfully welcome the Emperor, the Empress, and the Third Prince. Long live the Emperor, and a thousand years to the Empress!"
Suddenly, people knelt on the ground in the hall.
Murong Li waved his hand and said, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After everyone stood up, they still waited until Murong Li and others were seated before they dared to sit down.
"Today is the full moon banquet for the three princes, so please don't be restrained."
After he finished speaking, Eunuch Li beside him waved his hand, and the dancers who had been prepared nearby entered the stage and performed singing and dancing.
At the same time, fruits, cakes and tea were served one by one.
Murong Li and Su Yue didn't like these things, but they couldn't just invite everyone into the palace for a meal and then leave. The program still had to be arranged. With the program, they had to prepare fruits and snacks so that everyone could enjoy the show while eating.
Sure enough, as soon as the show started and the fruits and snacks were served, everyone began to enjoy it with gusto.
As soon as the performance in the palace was over, the noble ladies rushed to the stage to perform their shows, playing musical instruments, singing, playing chess, calligraphy and painting. It was so lively and exciting.
The noble ladies all showed their most beautiful and talented sides, hoping to win Murong Li's favor and enter the palace to become queens.
Now, Su Yue is the only one in Murong Li's harem. The noble ladies are not only envious, jealous and hateful, but also try their best to get into the harem.
Su Yue enjoyed watching the noble ladies perform. If she hadn't seen their eyes fixed on Murong Li, she would have enjoyed it even more.
But there is no way around it. As a young emperor, Murong Li is powerful, rich and handsome. It is impossible for him not to attract people's attention. She can't prevent it either. She can't dig out all the eyes that are glued to Murong Li.
Just look at it, seduce it if you want. As long as Murong Li is not tempted, it will be useless no matter how hard those noble ladies try.
Sure enough, after the ladies performed their show, Murong Li didn't show any expression at all. At most he clapped his hands to show encouragement, which made the ladies very disappointed.
No one was interested in the subsequent performances, and in the end no one went on stage to perform.
Murong Li then asked people to serve the main course, and it was almost time for everyone to finish eating.
As usual, Su Yue called in the chefs from Heaven and Earth to come to the palace to help prepare the meals for the palace banquet. The ingredients were also from the space, so the taste was naturally good, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
I have attended several palace banquets, but today's was probably the quietest. Nothing happened and everyone was very happy from beginning to end.
However, they were happy and enjoyed their meal, but someone was making trouble behind their backs.
Not long after the show started, the third kid didn't like the lively scene and kept whining. Su Yue then asked Yueying and the others to go back and let the wet nurse feed him.
Back in the baby room, the three wet nurses were feeding the baby as expected. However, after feeding the eldest prince, Nanny Li carried the eldest prince to the imperial garden alone. Then she looked around and saw that there was no one in the imperial garden, so she ran away with the eldest prince in her arms.
She thought no one saw her, but she didn't know that her actions were all captured by Su Yue's mental power. Su Yue did not stop her from running, but asked the secret guard to follow her to see what she was going to do, and then her mental power followed her all the time.
Nanny Li ran for a while and was out of breath. She was running towards the cold palace.
She ran around until she came to the wall of the cold palace, pulled away the dry grass there, and revealed a dog hole. Nanny Li first let the eldest prince out of the dog hole, and then she followed him out.
There was someone outside to meet them, a woman wearing a hood. Without saying a word, they carried the eldest prince into a carriage that had been prepared in advance.
At this time, Yueying discovered that Nanny Li was missing. She searched everywhere in the palace and reported the matter to Su Yue and the others.
Yueying started to cry: "My Lady, I deserve to die. I knew she had a problem, but I still let her succeed."
Su Yue: "You guys go back and pretend this didn't happen. Don't cause panic."
Su Yue did not tell Yueying that she had deliberately let Nanny Li go.
At the same time, she and Murong Li left the banquet and hurried out of the palace with him to chase Nanny Li.
The carriage that Nanny Li rode in only went through secluded alleys, and she would change carriages from time to time.
