Chapter 518 Caught in the Act
Liu Xiulan, under the strong effects of the medicine, was like a cat smelling fish when she saw the Third Prince.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect this little palace maid to be so clever. Oh, and Liu Xiulan isn't bad either..."
Ning Bao was engrossed in watching when Leng Bing and Leng Shuang pulled her out from the left and right respectively.
Ningbao pouted reluctantly.
"The people who caught us cheating will be here soon, let's watch a little longer..."
Leng Bing seemed eager to try, but the usually composed Leng Shuang shook her head seriously.
"Master, it will offend your eyes."
.....................
"Just wash it if it gets dirty," Ningbao muttered softly.
Cold Frost refused again, with a straight face.
"Master, what if Granny Zhou finds out...?"
Ningbao pouted, "Fine, I won't look then. We can't use Granny Zhou to scare me."
Granny Zhou came from the palace. Before leaving the palace, she was in charge of disciplining the newly arrived palace ladies.
Granny Zhou had no family and had never been married. She was all alone. After leaving the palace, she was invited by Su Jingshu to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion by chance and became Ningbao's governess.
Normally, it was Granny Zhou who was in charge of supervising Ningbao's manners and etiquette. In Ningbao's mind, Granny Zhou was a very, very serious person.
Upon hearing Leng Shuang mention Granny Zhou, Ning Bao immediately covered her eyes, no longer daring to look at the lively scene of the three princes inside the room.
Ning Bao sent Liu Xiulan to the Third Prince's bed as a scapegoat entirely because she didn't want to hurt other innocent women.
Originally, she wanted to find a eunuch or a man for the Third Prince.
But since the palace maid and Liu Xiulan were plotting against her, she had no choice but to reluctantly plot back.
Mu Wanning has always been someone who will eat anything, but never suffers a loss.
Anyway, Liu Xiulan is going to marry the Third Prince in the future, so she's just doing this to make it happen sooner.
Although Liu Xiulan is only 14 years old, what she did was indeed somewhat immoral.
But she's only 15 years old, just a few months older than Liu Xiulan. Since they can scheme against her with such ease, she has nothing to worry about.
Ning Bao carefully prepared himself mentally, telling Leng Shuang to stay there, so that the good thing that had already been accomplished wouldn't be ruined halfway through.
She and Leng Bing had not gone far when they encountered a group of ladies strolling in the garden.
Leading the group was Consort Liu and Lady Liu, the biological mother of Liu Xiulan.
Ning Bao raised an eyebrow. This was ostensibly a stroll in the garden, but in reality, it was clearly a trip to catch someone in the act of adultery.
Among the group, Ning Bao spotted Su Jingshu and Gu Yunrou, who looked somewhat anxious.
Ning Bao knew they were worried about her, but now was not the time for her to show herself.
Ning Bao quietly followed behind the crowd. Just as they were getting close to the courtyard, a palace maid suddenly stumbled over.
Upon seeing this, Consort Liu feigned a loud rebuke.
"How dare you! Which palace do you belong to? How can you be so rude?"
"Your Majesty, over there... in that courtyard..."
The head maidservant beside Consort Liu walked up to the junior maidservant and, feigning concern, scolded her again.
"What's wrong?
Tell me quickly!
"Don't disturb the Imperial Concubine and the ladies' enjoyment."
"There are people committing obscene acts over there..."
"What?" Consort Liu feigned surprise, her face full of anger.
"This is the imperial palace! Who would be so reckless as to be so ignorant of their own mortality!"
