Suppressing the astonishment in my heart,
A knowing look flashed across Granny Lin's aged face.
His expression returned to normal, and he said with a smile:
"Mi Jieyu is a good person who is neither arrogant nor impatient. This old servant will start by teaching you the most basic etiquette."
"good."
After an afternoon of guidance, Mi Shan was very cooperative and there were almost no problems.
Lin Mama's eyes gradually revealed a look of approval.
At the end,
"Please wait, Granny."
Mi Shan took her hand, removed a gold hairpin from her hair, and placed it in her hand, smiling captivatingly.
"It's a small gift but carries great sentiment; please accept it, Granny."
"You're too kind, young master."
Lin Mama looked at her with even greater appreciation.
Possessing such beauty, imperial favor, and knowledge of etiquette...
"My lord, you will surely have a bright future. If you ever rise to a high position, please do not forget your old servant."
“Of course not,” Mi Shan said with a smile.
Regardless of how long the emperor lives.
She also needed to establish herself in the palace first.
Once we get close to the Emperor, we can then investigate further to find out what illness he has and whether there is any possibility of recovery.
Lin Mama nodded and, led by Xun'er, moved into the wing room at the far left to rest.
The next day.
Granny Lin first greeted the head of the Mi family and his wife.
Mi Fen was also there.
"Well, Granny, has my sister done anything that's beneath her dignity?"
"Your Highness is well. You need not worry about her. On the contrary, it is you who did not address the Consort as Your Highness and spoke disrespectfully. I will report this to my superiors..."
Qiao quickly pulled Mi Fen to bow and apologize.
The teaching nanny had a special status, as she was someone who could directly contact the emperor and empress.
Her words had far-reaching implications.
“Granny, my daughter grew up with Consort Mi and lost her senses for a moment. She meant no harm.”
"That would be best."
Granny Lin couldn't possibly discipline someone else's daughter.
He merely gave her a warning look.
But they didn't see Mi Fen hiding behind Qiao Shi, trembling slightly, her eyes filled with malice.
She almost ground her teeth to powder.
Why does this teaching nanny have two faces?
In my past life, I almost never said anything nice to her and even physically punished her!
But when it comes to Mi Shan, it's like she's a completely different person.
She was still the same old Lin Mama. Didn't she receive the Empress's order to stop Mi Shan from entering the palace?
Previously, some of the selected young ladies-in-waiting were harmed by Granny Lin, who caused them to suddenly contract smallpox and die, let alone enter the palace.
Mi Fen was extremely cautious at the time, which is why she narrowly escaped...
Little did she know that Lin Mama, seeing her arrogant words and actions, knew that she would not amount to much even after entering the palace.
After reporting back to the Empress, who disdained to take action, she was able to enter the palace safely.
This time...
Granny Lin returned to the backyard.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he waved his hand, and a white dove landed on the pomegranate tree.
It circled twice before landing in her palm.
Lin Mama has truthfully reported Mi Shan's behavior last night to the Imperial Noble Consort.
At this moment, the white dove brought back a secret letter from the Imperial Noble Consort.
There is also a small packet of medicine powder.
After reading the contents of the secret letter, a profound meaning suddenly appeared in Lin Mama's eyes.
She clutched the small packet of powder tightly in her hand and hid it in her sleeve.
Seeing that no one was around, he pretended to be normal and walked towards the side room.
A hint of ruthlessness was revealed in his narrowed eyes.
That day.
Mi Shan had already learned all the rules she would need to follow after entering the palace.
Everything was done to the extreme.
“My lord is intelligent and eager to learn. This old servant has nothing more to teach you.”
"Your Highness has been practicing all afternoon. You must be tired by now. Why don't you sit down and have some tea?"
After saying that, Granny Lin took out the tea that had been brewed in advance from the tray.
He placed the cup containing the medicinal powder in front of Mi Shan.
She prepared to drink the other cup herself.
Mi Shan covered her face with her sleeve. She had originally intended to drink, but then seemed to remember something, her eyes flickered, and she put the cup down again.
"How can we drink tea without snacks, Xun'er?"
"This servant is here."
"Go get a plate of osmanthus cake and two portions of butterfly pastries."
"yes."
After Xun'er finished speaking, she turned and left.
"Tea should be drunk while it's hot; what does it matter if there are snacks or not?" said Granny Lin.
That makes sense.
Mi Shan took a small sip, but didn't drink it. When no one was looking, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve and spat out the tea.
Lin Mama, however, did not notice and gave a cold laugh, thinking that her scheme had succeeded.
The snacks are here.
Mi Shan gave Xun'er a wink, her gaze falling on the two cups of tea.
Xun'er immediately understood and used her body to block Lin Mama's view.
I quickly switched the two cups of tea.
Unaware of anything amiss, Granny Lin picked up the cup of tea that originally belonged to Mi Shan and drank it.
Gradually, I didn't notice any discomfort.
Mi Shan frowned slightly.
Or perhaps she was overthinking it?
However, the next morning, the mansion was in complete chaos.
Granny Lin was vomiting and had diarrhea, and was lying in bed with a splitting headache, unable to get out of bed at all.
If something happens to the headmistress at home and the news gets back to the palace, and the Emperor blames her, then we'll be in trouble.
Mi Xiuyan quickly summoned a doctor to take a look.
They all shook their heads, but only one person concluded that it was poisoning!
However, if it is said that the person has been poisoned, no one can diagnose it, let alone prescribe the right medicine.
"The doctors outside the palace can only do so much."
Talented individuals have long been recruited into the Imperial Medical Academy by the Emperor. But if the imperial physicians are alerted, it will surely reach the Emperor's ears... What should we do?
Mrs. Qiao was so anxious that she lost her composure.
Mi Xiuyan's face was grave, as if a great disaster was about to befall him.
Mi Fen, standing behind her, looked terrified.
Looking at the person lying on the bed,
An obese body that remains motionless.
Granny Lin closed her eyes, her face as black as iron, looking utterly dead.
How could that be!
Granny Lin actually... couldn't defeat Mi Shan?
How could Mi Shan, that good-for-nothing, have such ability?
If she wasn't mistaken, this unknown poison was clearly something that Granny Lin had prepared to give to Mi Shan.
But no one knows what method Mi Shan used, which made Granny Lin suffer this terrible consequence!
backyard.
The news of Lin Mama's accident naturally reached Mi Shan's ears.
She gently stroked the guqin.
A dark, profound meaning flickered in his eyes.
"So something really happened..."
The selected young ladies will return to their parents' home and stay there for a few days. They are not allowed to see anyone except their instructing matrons, including their own parents.
Therefore, if Mi Shan wanted to visit Granny Lin, she had to first send someone to dismiss outsiders.
"Xun'er, go and tell them I want to see Granny Lin so we can work together to find a way to save her and make them back off."
