Chapter 476 Mission Failure
If it was really the emperor of Jin, or some prince who ordered her to do all this, in time, the iron cavalry of Dayan would surely trample every inch of Jin's land.
Nanny Xiang, whose eyes were covered with a layer of green herbs, was shocked by Xi Que's words and sat up from the bed: "What? Are you saying that the person who harmed us is Ye Guiren?"
Xi Que nodded fiercely: "Nanny, you didn't expect it, did you? Shuangjiang and I were both scared. The queen was right. The person who changed the face is right beside us."
Nanny Lu also sighed.
This time she suffered the most serious injuries. Her body skin was burned by her parents, and she even had half of her hair burned off. It was really sad.
There was a big scar on her arm, winding from the wrist to two inches above the elbow. Doctor Yan said that there would be a scar in the future.
After these life and death events, Nanny Lu has asked Jiang Xinyue to resign.
If other people could become the prince's wet nurse, they would be eager to be by his side for their whole lives. When they are old, they will be no worse than the queen mother.
But her situation is different. She has seven daughters in her family who are fostered in Aunt Li's house. She doesn't know if her dead ex-husband has come to cause trouble.
Although Aunt Li's family has hired several guards, she is always worried when she is not with her daughters.
When the Queen Mother wanted a wet nurse urgently, she had made arrangements in advance. She only feeds the prince until he is weaned and then goes home.
Now the Crown Prince is three years old and has long stopped breastfeeding, but because the Queen Mother gave birth to twins, she stayed to help because there were not enough people.
But after what happened, she no longer dared to stay in the palace.
Every time she protected the little princes, she put her own life and death aside, but she often regretted it afterwards.
She tried so hard to protect other people's children. She couldn't imagine who would protect her children if she died and her own children were in danger in the future?
Aunt Li was an outsider after all. If she died, Aunt Li would no longer have the right to take care of her daughters. If the children's father got into trouble and ran out of money, he would sell all her daughters.
Every time danger came, she didn't have time to think too much, and she subconsciously put life and death aside.
Every time she was done, she was scared to death. This kind of life is really torturous.
Everyone's pursuit is different.
Nanny Lu felt that the things given by the queen were enough for her to lead a rich life with seven daughters, so she was no longer greedy for other things.
Fortunately, the queen was also very easy to talk to. They were all mothers. She also understood Nanny Lu's longing for her children and allowed her to return home after she recovered from her injuries.
The prince was grown up, and he had the fourth prince to accompany him. The fourth prince had eunuch Qian Sheng by his side, and the prince liked him very much. With eunuch Qian Sheng watching over him, the prince would not have any problems.
Besides, the prince is now attending classes in the library, and Nanny Lu usually has no chance to see the prince except to take him to bed at night.
The prince still likes the Queen Mother the most and does not rely on Nanny Lu, so it doesn't matter if she leaves.
The two little princes have Nanny Xiang and Shuangjiang by their side, and the Queen Mother has Jiangchuan and Xiao Xiangzi by her side, including four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, so there is no shortage of manpower.
She also took all aspects of the situation into consideration before proposing this.
The main hall of Kunning Palace -
the emperor has gone to the study to review memorials, and there is no one else in the flower hall except Xi Que, Jiangchuan and a few other guards.
Jiang Xinyue changed into light clothes and came over, sitting on the couch eating sweet cakes and drinking warm milk tea.
This was also a torture for the hungry Ye Ran'er.
"What's your real name?"
Most of the people in Jin had double surnames, and there were not many single surnames, let alone a surname like Ye, which was a surname of the Dayan people.
Ye Ran'er first glanced at her, then sat up from the ground by herself and sat in a chair beside her.
Her hands were tied behind her back, so she couldn't use any strength, and Jiang Xinyue was not afraid of her sneaking.
After finding a more comfortable position, Ye Ran'er said, "I am an orphan, abandoned by my parents since I was a child. My teacher picked me up and named me Wu Ma Jianli. He let me learn skills in Shuliu Pavilion. After I grew up, he sent me to Dayan to replace the identity of a concubine, sneak into the palace, and wait for an opportunity to destroy Yan."
"Who is your teacher?"
"I don't know who he is. There are hundreds of people like me in Shuliu Pavilion, but only two or three of them can become masters. The rest will become playthings and slaves and die under the powerful. You don't have to bother to investigate me. I will tell you everything you want to know. I have no identity in Jin Guo. We are people who live in the dark and cannot see the light. If the mission fails, you can kill me or behead me. It's all up to you. Jin Guo will not recognize my identity."
She said the truth, but there was a fear hidden deep in her eyes. What was she afraid of?
A spy who is not afraid of death, what is she afraid of?
Jin Guo was indifferent to her. A person who was abandoned by her parents since childhood should treat Jin Guo with the same coldness. Only in this way will she not be hurt again.
She didn't become a spy for Jin Guo.
If the mission fails, the worst that can happen is death. She
is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that Jiang Xinyue will go to the Kingdom of Jin to investigate her after her mission fails.
Therefore, she is afraid that she will disappoint some people after her failure, so she thought it would be better to die quietly.
She just said, her teacher!
Jiang Xinyue has also watched a lot of melodramatic TV series and novels in the later life. The female killers in them always have some emotional ties with their adoptive fathers or masters who raised them.
Watch more dramas, and your knowledge reserve will be relatively large... No, I guess the plot by yourself!
Jiang Xinyue pulled out a portrait from a porcelain vase beside her and unfolded it: "Is this your teacher?"
The man in the portrait had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was tall and handsome. He wore a purple dragon robe of a prince, and his eyes were playful. He was exactly the man in her memory.
But her teacher had never worn such luxurious clothes. He was always a commoner. He said that he was a martial arts hero who wanted to train some talents for the Kingdom of Jin. To realize his great ambitions.
As soon as Jiang Xinyue saw her shocked eyes, she knew that she had guessed right: "He is the King of the Southern Court of the Kingdom of Jin. He didn't train you for the purpose of training talents. He is not that great. He is just for his own ambitions."
Wu Ma Jianli's eyes were full of disbelief. She held the portrait and looked at it again and again, but the teardrop mole under the teacher's eye was exactly the same as the person in the painting.
He lied to her... He lied to her...
"I... I have a younger brother, Wu Ma Fengche. He failed the assessment and was sent to the King of the East Courtyard to be... to be a warm bed. The teacher said... he said that Shuliu Pavilion was secretly founded by the emperor, and he was just acting as the head. The King of the East Courtyard fell in love with my brother, and he had no choice. He promised me that he would help me kill the King of the East Courtyard."
