"That's good, that's good."
The queen was somewhat at a loss, as the nightmares prevented her from truly letting go of her worries.
She closed her eyes and suddenly asked, "Did the journey go smoothly?"
Hearing this, Nanny Chang's face was unnatural for a moment. Although she quickly covered it up, it was still caught by the queen who was staring at her.
The queen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.
"What's wrong? What happened? Did you encounter an accident or run into someone?"
Nanny Chang shook her head and said, "Don't worry, your majesty. It's nothing. I just ran into Ms. Shen when I went out."
"Chen Yan?" The Queen frowned when she heard the name. "How did I run into her?"
"Ms. Shen is on duty today. I met her near the corner gate and said a few words to her."
The Queen felt a little strange, "Didn't she give you any trouble?"
"No, Ms. Shen just asked a few questions casually and then let the slave go."
The Queen was still a little unconvinced, "That's it? She didn't ask you anything?"
Nanny Chang hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth to the Queen.
“When she left, Ms. Shen didn’t say much. She just asked a few questions and let me go. But when she came back this time…”
Seeing Nanny Chang's hesitation, the Queen felt that her guess had come true.
She knew that Chen Yan would never let Nanny Chang leave so easily.
The Queen's expression was not very good.
"What happened to her?"
Nanny Chang sighed and said, "When I came back, I ran into Ms. Shen again, but this time, Ms. Shen seemed to be waiting for me on purpose. Moreover, from the look on her face, it seemed that she knew what I was doing out there."
"What?" The Queen's eyebrows instantly raised. She stared at Nanny Chang and asked word by word, "What do you mean she knows what you're doing out there?"
So, Nanny Chang repeated to the Queen everything that Chen Yan had said to her, and also repeated her own reply.
"This servant feels that this Ms. Shen seems to be trying to show goodwill to us, as if she hopes that the Empress will remember this favor."
After hearing what Nanny Chang said, the Queen did not speak immediately. She remained silent and didn't know what to say for a moment.
She always felt that something seemed wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
After Chang Ma Ma finished speaking, seeing that the Queen did not speak, she continued, "If she wanted to go against the Empress, she could have stopped me from the beginning, or made a big fuss. But she didn't. Instead, she let me go out and take care of everything. Only after she came back did she say these words to me. I think that Ms. Shen may still respect the Empress very much."
"Respect." The queen snorted coldly.
She had never seen any respect in Shen Yan.
She just felt that the woman was arrogant and conceited because of her talent, and she didn't take her, the queen, seriously at all.
Nanny Chang continued, "Your Majesty, do you think that this Ms. Shen is trying to facilitate her marriage with the Second Prince, and is therefore deliberately trying to be friendly with us?"
Hearing this, the Queen's mind moved slightly. She slowly turned her head to look at Nanny Chang and asked suspiciously, "You said she did it for Chen'er?"
"Yes, your Majesty, you see, during this period, the Second Prince seems to have not mentioned the marriage between him and Ms. Shen. Maybe Ms. Shen is anxious because of this."
This is very likely.
The queen lowered her brows.
If you think about it carefully, it has been a while since Jun Mochen came to bother her and asked her to tell the emperor about the marriage between him and Chen Yan.
Maybe Jun Mochen is not in a hurry now, so Chen Yan is anxious.
Thinking of this, the Queen felt more and more that Chen Yan's previous arrogance was all pretense. She thought she was so noble and looked down on the royal family. Now isn't she anxious?
When she thought of this, the Queen gradually let go of the worry that had been brewing in her mind.
If it was for Jun Mochen, then there would be clues for Chen Yan to show her goodwill to him.
The Queen pondered for a while and said, "If you put it that way, it's not impossible."
Nanny Chang stepped forward and pressed the Queen's temple. "Your Majesty, no matter whether Ms. Shen knows what we did tonight or not, she is on our side now. Even if what happened tonight is revealed in the future, Ms. Shen will not be able to escape, so you don't have to worry too much."
The queen closed her eyes and enjoyed Nanny Chang's massage peacefully.
"You have a point. I'd better wait and see what happens and see what our Ms. Shen wants to do."
Prince An's Mansion.
Jun Moyi sat at the table, holding a brush in his hand and writing something on the paper.
While listening to the secret guard reporting to him about the developments in the palace.
"You said the Queen dumped Liushang's body into a mass grave overnight?"
"Yes, Master. Our people saw with their own eyes that they put the body into a wooden barrel and took it out of the palace, all the way to the mass grave."
Jun Moyi sneered: "Our queen is only as capable as this. It's not that I look down on her."
The secret guard did not respond, but stood aside with his head down, quietly waiting for Jun Moyi to speak.
"Alright, there's no need to report this matter to me, and you don't need to do anything else. Just keep watching."
"Yes." The secret guard responded, as if he suddenly remembered something, and looked at Jun Moyi with a bit of confusion in his eyes, "Your Highness, there is one more thing..."
Jun Moyi didn't even raise his head. "What did I teach you normally? Just say what you want to say. When did you develop this habit of hesitating?"
Hearing this, the secret guard lowered his eyes and said without hesitation, "Yes, I accidentally discovered that Prince Gu seems to have sent people to investigate something recently."
"Hmm?" Jun Moyi was stunned. He raised his head and looked at him steadily, his eyebrows moving slightly. "What do you mean by that?"
Seeing this, the secret guard's legs went weak and he knelt down. "Master, I stumbled upon this by accident. Prince Gu has been having his men secretly investigating something. I wasn't paying attention at first, but then I realized that what they were investigating seemed to be related to the General's Mansion."
Jun Moyi's hands did not move. "Go on."
"I don't know the specific details, but I heard that Prince Gu seems to be looking for the midwife who delivered the general's wife, Mrs. Xu."
At this moment, Jun Moyi's face was serious.
In fact, ever since he knew that Gu Huaizhi was his friend rather than his enemy, he withdrew his surveillance on Gu Huaizhi.
It was purely accidental that the secret guard discovered this matter this time.
But why did Gu Huaizhi secretly investigate the General's Mansion?
Also, is he investigating the General's Mansion or Sang Liwan?
