Who is in Chapter Twenty-Nine?
"Get up," Nan Wan'er said, suppressing the excitement in her eyes and maintaining a haughty demeanor.
After thanking Yuanbao, the shrewd man got up and glanced at Consort Li, who had fainted not far away.
"Did His Majesty send you?"
Nan Wan'er was overjoyed to see the old and frail Yuanbao, but then she suddenly thought of Consort Li and her expression became somewhat unnatural.
She moved closer to Yuanbao, blocking his view.
"Yes, His Majesty sent me to convey a message to Her Highness." Yuanbao immediately lowered his head and bowed, appearing somewhat humble.
"What is it?" Nan Wan'er's anxiety grew even higher.
Is it because she punished Consort Li that Gu Yanjing is blaming her?
But he said he would give her the power and dignity that an empress deserved.
Besides, how could someone like Gu Yanjing possibly blame himself for a concubine?
"His Majesty said that Her Majesty is going to see someone today, and that person is in Qingping Palace," Yuanbao said with a smile, conveying Gu Yanjing's message.
"His Majesty said, Your Majesty, you know what His Majesty means, and you should remember what His Majesty said to you yesterday. This servant will now withdraw."
Yuanbao bowed again and was about to leave.
Nan Wan'er's face turned ugly, but then she heard Yuanbao say again, "Your Majesty, Consort Li's family and your maternal clan have always been enemies. Doing this might cause turmoil in the front court."
Yuanbao thought Nan Wan'er would be angry, but he suddenly saw that Nan Wan'er was smiling.
Yuanbao understood.
He silently lowered his head and led his two young apprentices back to serve His Majesty.
The Empress must have suffered a lot in the Nan family, otherwise she wouldn't have cut off her own escape route like this.
However, this is for the best, after all, His Majesty does not want to see any single faction dominate the court again.
After Yuanbao left, Nan Wan'er happily ordered someone to keep an eye on Consort Li and make her kneel for another two hours, not stopping until she was practically half dead.
The Nan family outside the palace received the news. Although they felt bitter inside, they had no way to refute it. After all, Nan Wan'er was now their daughter, the empress from their Nan family.
They never expected that Nan Wan'er, who had been so neglected before, would actually be so favored by His Majesty, and that she would not be reprimanded even when Consort Li was punished.
Judging from His Majesty's attitude, he is very tolerant.
The Nan family was plotting how to use the favor Nan Wan'er received to gain more benefits for themselves, even if it meant being harassed by Consort Li's family.
Meanwhile, Nan Wan'er in the palace had her maids prepare wine and dishes, and then let the maids lead the way to Qingping Palace.
She knew what Gu Yanjing wanted by keeping her around; she was probably the true female lead, while the one in Qingping Palace was likely the male lead.
Gu Yanjing is one of those mission takers who travel through various worlds with a system, and their missions are usually something like killing the male protagonist.
She wondered if Gu Yanjing's mission included her, but Nan Wan'er didn't believe Gu Yanjing would show her any mercy.
Although they only met twice, Gu Yanjing is a lunatic.
Do mentally ill people behave according to common sense?
no.
The Qingping Hall is located in a remote and dilapidated area, surrounded by trees, making it feel gloomy even in summer.
The palace maid whispered something to the guards at the door, and only then did the guards make way for the maid to open the door.
She realized that the palace maids on her side were probably all Gu Yanjing's people, and that her every move was under Gu Yanjing's watchful eye.
So she asked, "Who's inside?"
