Chapter 2944 She can do it alone
Nan Yan asked, "You came here today, have you figured it out?"
Nanny Su looked up at her, unable to suppress a bitter smile in her heart, and said with her head lowered, "Yes, this servant has decided to leave the cold palace, and also, leave the imperial palace and leave the capital."
Hearing her say this, Nan Yan nodded slightly.
Said: "This is the best."
Zhu Feng was determined to enthrone Zhu Chengxuan as the crown prince. Therefore, he ordered the death of Qin Ruolan and even sent the eunuch Yu, who had been by his side for many years, out of the palace. After all, some secrets needed to be kept forever.
The only one left in the palace was Nanny Su.
Nan Yan didn't know how much she knew about Zhu Chengxuan's life experience, but judging from the close relationship between Qin Ruolan and her in the past, she should know it. However, she had never said much over the years, and was obviously a person with a tight-lipped mouth.
It's okay for such a person to stay in the palace.
However, she also witnessed Qin Ruolan's death...
According to the royal family's usual way of dealing with such people and matters, Nanny Su must be killed.
However, she still had a certificate of immunity from death in her hand.
Zhu Feng could not sentence to death a person who had been granted an iron certificate of immunity from death by Emperor Gao. Otherwise, if the news got out, not only would the prince's background be exposed, but he would also be branded as a traitor to the late emperor.
So, after much deliberation, Nan Yan decided to let her leave the palace.
Before leaving, of course you have to say goodbye first.
Then, Nan Yan asked softly, "So, Mammy, where is your hometown? Is there anyone else at home?"
Nanny Su glanced at her, gave a wry smile, and said, "I've been away from home for so many years in the palace, and there's no one left at home. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed in the cold palace for half my life. I really have nowhere else to go."
Hearing her say this, Nan Yan frowned slightly.
You know, when a person gets old and suddenly has to leave the place where he has lived for most of his life and has nowhere to go, this feeling is extremely desolate.
So he asked, "So, where are you going?"
Nanny Su looked up at her, then lowered her head and said softly, "Xingluo Lake."
"What?"
Nan Yan frowned again.
Nanny Su said, "Xingluo Lake. I know that Concubine Qin's tomb is in the Imperial Tomb Temple. There's nowhere else to go anyway. She was my former mistress, so I'll just stay with her for the next few days."
“…”
Nan Yan was speechless for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Nanny Su would want to go to the Imperial Tomb Temple in Xingluo Lake.
He will spend the rest of his life guarding Concubine Qin's tomb.
In fact, this destination is good for Nanny Su. After all, if she goes to other places, an old and helpless woman like her will not be able to escape a miserable old age even if Nan Yan gives her more money. What's more, if she is plotted against by bad people, she may not even be able to have a peaceful old age.
Go to the Imperial Mausoleum, which is at least a place under the control of the royal family.
It won’t happen that no one will send it to her after a hundred years.
Moreover, even for Zhu Feng, Nan Yan, and even for Crown Prince Cheng Xuan, this place was the best. After all, Zhu Feng was still not very confident in her. After all, it was impossible for a living person to keep absolute secrets. Even if he let her out of the palace this time and let Nan Yan question her, it was just to find out her whereabouts. No matter where she went, someone would keep an eye on her in the future.
However, if she went to the Imperial Mausoleum, everything would be under control.
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then looked at Su Ma's eyes which were cloudy due to old age. Although her eyes were cloudy, her expression seemed very clear.
Obviously, the old man also knew what his final destination would be.
She made this choice after careful consideration.
Nan Yan didn't bother to be polite with her and said directly, "This is naturally the best way."
Nanny Su smiled bitterly and nodded at her.
Nan Yan said, "As you know, the Emperor has already ordered his imperial carriage to travel south. Since you are going to the Imperial Mausoleum, would you like to go with Yoga?"
Nanny Su said, "If I can accompany His Majesty and His Majesty on this journey one last time, my life will be complete."
Nan Yan nodded and said, "Okay, go back and make your preparations. We'll set off in a few days. When the time comes, I'll have someone come to call you."
"Thank you, my lady."
Nanny Su stood up, bowed to Nan Yan, then turned and walked out.
Looking at her back, Nan Yan sat in the chair with a dazed look on her face.
Ruoshui walked in with a teacup in hand. Seeing her sitting there lost in thought, she walked over and whispered, "Madam, what are you thinking about?"
Nan Yan murmured, "I was thinking about the last time I went to Xingluo Lake."
"ah?"
Ruoshui tilted her head and looked at her: "Your Majesty has also been to Xingluo Lake?"
"also?"
Nan Yan looked up at her and said, "You've been there too?"
Ruoshui nodded: "Master has been there before when he was traveling with me, more than once."
"More than once? What were you doing there?"
"The Taoist temple where Master became a monk is in Xiajiang Town, near Xingluo Lake. From there, it only takes half a day to reach Xingluo Lake by boat. Every year, Master would bring me back to live for a while."
"oh……"
Nan Yan said, "I have never heard of this."
Ruoshui said, "Your Majesty is in the palace, how could she know what's happening so far away? Just like now, although I miss my master from time to time, I have no idea what she is doing."
At this point, she blinked and suddenly said, "Ah, I might know that too."
"Hmm?" Nan Yan looked at her: "Do you know what your master is doing now?"
Ruoshui said, "During the New Year in previous years, Master would return to the Taoist temple to celebrate with her fellow disciples and brothers. She should still be there at this time."
"Really? Then how long will she stay there?"
"Usually she leaves after the New Year. The master doesn't get close to people. No matter where she goes, she won't stay for very long. Before me, she also had people serving her and an apprentice. I was the one who spent the longest time with her, but not for very long."
Nan Yan looked at her with a smile: "Do you miss her?"
Ruoshui nodded: "A little."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "If she had stayed longer this time, perhaps the emperor would have been able to let you meet him."
Ruoshui gave a bitter smile and said, "Usually at this time, the master would have left long ago."
"oh……"
"But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if we can't see each other. I know that Master can live well even if she is alone. She said she can do it alone."
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but this sentence didn't seem to mean what Ruoshui thought.
