Chapter 669: Coma
Zhong Nianyao didn't care about the Queen Mother's thoughts. Now that the Queen Mother agreed to her request, she had no reason to stay.
After getting the Queen Mother's promise, Zhong Nian Yao turned around and left.
Until Zhong Nianyao's figure disappeared in the distance, the Queen Mother swept everything on the table to the ground, muttering to herself with gritted teeth, "Zhong Nianyao, Zhong Nianyao."
Every call seemed to be filled with endless hatred.
The Queen Mother hated Zhong Nianyao to the core. If she could, she would have killed her. However, when she thought of Zhong Nianyao's identity, her mysterious abilities, and the Emperor's trust in her, she knew she could do nothing.
The people waiting outside had no idea what was happening inside the hall. They didn't even hear any noise from inside.
However, not long after Zhong Nian Yao left, they heard a clanging sound coming from inside, like the sound of a pile of porcelain falling to the ground.
Suddenly, they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing the empress dowager inside.
Although they didn't know what happened inside, they saw Zhong Nianyao come out unscathed, while the Queen Mother was furious, which showed that the conversation between the two was not pleasant. The Queen Mother did not dare to do anything to Zhong Nianyao, and one could imagine her status.
Nangong Xin did not leave, but hid not far away and observed the situation.
Ever since Zhong Nianyao showed up, she had a bad feeling in her heart. After everything that happened, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body freezing cold.
Now it seemed that even the Queen Mother couldn't do anything to Zhong Nianyao. What about her? Could the Queen Mother still protect her? If the Queen Mother couldn't protect her, what would happen to her?
She couldn't imagine what she would do in the future if she lost her status as a princess. She absolutely couldn't become a commoner. From childhood to adulthood, she had lived a life of luxury. She absolutely couldn't live in poverty.
Before Nangong Xin could think of any solution, the empress dowager sent someone to call her over.
Then, the Queen Mother took Nangong Xin directly to the Emperor, handed her over to the Emperor for disposal, and left.
Before Nangong Xin could even react, she was stunned by the emperor's decree. She immediately lost her status as a princess and was demoted to a commoner. All her wealth was confiscated. In other words, she was not only a commoner, but also a poor person.
No matter how Nangong Xin begged for mercy, it could not change this established fact.
When the news came, Zhong Nian Yao and Lu Yichen were playing chess in the yard.
Lu Yichen put down a piece and said with a smile, "Are you satisfied now? What happened to Nangong Xin?"
"Not bad!" Zhong Nianyao nodded and casually put down a piece. "I didn't expect that the Queen Mother is so efficient! Not long after agreeing to it, she got it done directly."
Lu Yichen raised his head, looked at Zhong Nianyao, and said, "Although the Queen Mother has personally handled this matter, it does not mean that she has really given up on Nangong Xin. No matter what, Nangong Xin is her blood, and she will definitely leave a way out for Nangong Xin."
"It's too late for her." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "Even if she really wanted to leave a way out for Nangong Xin, she's absolutely powerless. When I saw her this morning, I could already tell that she was going to have a disaster. Although it's not life-threatening, it has caused great damage to her body. Soon, I'm afraid she may have to stay in bed for the rest of her life."
Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows, "Oh, it seems you have already planned it all."
"By the way, now that everything has been resolved, when do you plan to leave here?"
"It will be soon." After thinking for a moment, Zhong Nianyao said, "I will go and say goodbye to Nalan Deyi tomorrow! Then we will go back in a few days."
Lu Yichen nodded but didn't comment.
In the evening, Zhong Nianyao told Zhong Mingxin that she was planning to leave.
When he heard that he was about to leave home, Zhong Mingxin's heart was filled with excitement. He almost couldn't suppress his inner ecstasy and jumped up.
Zhong Nianyao was not surprised to see Zhong Mingxin so happy.
For the past ten years, Zhong Mingxin had been trapped in the Princess's Mansion. He missed his family every moment, and naturally had no feelings for the Kingdom of Li. So, now that he knew he could leave, his excitement and joy were understandable.
Just as they were talking, a little palace maid hurried in, her anxious expression obvious on her face.
As soon as the little palace maid came in, she knelt down in front of Zhong Nianyao, her tone filled with anxiety, "Master Imperial Master, the Emperor is urgently summoning you."
After hearing what the little palace maid said, Zhong Nianyao was a little surprised and raised her eyebrows. "Did something happen? Why did the emperor suddenly want to see me?"
The young palace maid shook her head and said, "I know about this too. I just heard that something happened to the Queen Mother."
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes, and then she turned her head and looked at Lu Yichen beside her.
Today, she already knew that the Queen Mother was about to face a disaster. However, she really didn't expect that this disaster would come so early and so suddenly.
Zhong Nian Yao stood up and was about to walk towards the Empress Dowager's palace to see how she was doing.
Lu Yichen always liked to be inseparable from Zhong Nianyao, so naturally he went along.
Zhong Nianyao naturally had no objection.
Soon, the two of them came to the Queen Mother's palace together.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Nalandeyi went straight to greet him.
"National Master, you're finally here!" Nalan Deyi looked relieved and asked anxiously, "Can you help me see how my mother is doing?"
Zhong Nianyao remained silent, and asked curiously, "Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly fall into a coma?"
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's question, Nalan Deyi's face almost flushed. "It's all because of Nangong Xin. She's really a nuisance. I haven't figured out the whole story yet, but I heard from the servants that Nangong Xin and the Queen Mother had a big fight, and the Queen Mother fainted."
Zhong Nianyao nodded, and began to marvel in her heart.
