Chapter 164 Bitch, You Really Disappoint Me

"Little cousin, don't worry. I guess I haven't had a good sleep these days."

"Let her have a good sleep!"

Nan Yuanxiang nodded, "Okay." After a pause, "Jiujiu, you really helped me a lot this time."

Jiujiu held her cheeks with both hands and asked, "Little cousin, I have a question, why don't you secretly take the bracelet off your mother's hand?"

"If I had taken it secretly, I wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble."

Nan Yuanxiang sighed, "I want to do it, but I can't do it."

"What do you mean?"

"My father has been favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife for many years. He feels guilty. Seeing that my mother is in a bad situation, he is afraid that if something happens to my mother, he will be known as favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife."

"So these days, he sent people to watch over my mother all the time. Doctors, Taoist priests, and servants were all waiting here for my mother."

"He knows everything that happens here with my mother."

"After I got home, I secretly took the bracelet for my mother, but I was still discovered and they were all called in."

"There are so many people, all kinds of people, it makes me upset just looking at them."

Jiujiu was also upset when he heard this.

[How can there be such a person? ]

[For the sake of my own reputation, I act like this. 】

[Or maybe someone instigated Nan Shuwen to deliberately send someone to watch my aunt.]

[It seems that he cares about his aunt and is worried about her getting into trouble, but in fact, he is on guard against someone saving her. ]

[Luckily I came, otherwise, I'm afraid my aunt wouldn't be able to escape this disaster. ]

When Nan Yuanxiang heard Jiujiu's thoughts, her face turned pale with fright.

Zou really wants her mother's life!

“Ninety-nine…”

"I, I."

Nan Yuanxiang didn’t know how to say thank you, but she really wanted to say thank you, so she knelt in front of Jiujiu.

After Jiujiu finally persuaded Nan Yuanxiang, Li woke up at dusk.

After Li found out how she got better, she pulled Jiujiu aside and thanked her.

Jiujiu: “…”

Oh my god, my head hurts.

"Jiujiu, I feel like I have stepped into the gates of hell this time. If it weren't for you, I would..."

"I really have to report to the King of Hell."

"What are you talking about, auntie?" Jiujiu said, "It is my duty to help save auntie."

[Before my mother entered the palace, she had a good relationship with my aunt.]

[Although they are not born from the same mother, they support each other and are in a rare harmony.]

【Now, it’s time to continue supporting each other. 】

After hearing Jiujiu's thoughts, Li was very surprised at what she heard.

She looked at Nan Yuanxiang in confusion, with a hint of puzzlement in her tired eyes.

Nan Yuanxiang gave Li a look, indicating that she should pretend she heard nothing.

On the other side, Nan Shuwen looked at Zou who had been kneeling in front of him for most of the day, and said angrily: "Do you dare to say that you really had no ill intentions when you gave that bracelet away?"

This was the third time Nan Shuwen asked Zou this question this afternoon.

Zou shook her head and always had only one answer, "No, no, Master, please believe me!"

"Haha." Nan Shuwen closed his eyes weakly and said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

She was the one who gave the bracelet.

She was also the one who stopped Yuanxiang from taking the bracelet.

How could she not have any ill intentions?

"Bitch."

Nan Shuwen had favored Zou for many years, and this was the first time that he could not bear it anymore, so he beat Zou in a rage.

Nan Shuwen hit Zou hard, and after one slap, several slap marks were left on Zou's fair face.

"You really disappoint me."

"Just stay here and reflect on your actions. Don't go out and hurt others again."

Nan Shuwen was really filled with hatred at this moment.

If it weren't for Zou, he wouldn't have been carrying the reputation of favoring his concubine over his wife for so many years. He would have to be careful all the time, fearing that others would talk about this matter.

But he admitted it.

Who made him like Zou?

He also always thought that Zou was a sweetheart, a gentle woman, and a home for his tired heart.

Who knew, everything was fake.

Zou is a cruel and ruthless poisonous insect.

She also caused him to face the risk of demotion.

For the sake of his family's honor and his own official position, Nan Shuwen could not tolerate such a woman and would no longer pamper her.

Nan Shuwen gritted his teeth and walked away without looking back.

Zou was essentially under house arrest, and she was still wearing the fatal bracelet on her hand.

She cried, "My dear, please don't leave!"

"I was wrong. Isn't it okay if I was wrong? Don't lock me up and don't ignore me."

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her. Some people just watched her, not allowing her to escape or take off the bracelet.

·

Nan Yuanxiang's mother got better day by day.

By New Year's Eve, I was completely well.

On New Year's Eve, a sacrifice was held in the palace and a New Year's Eve palace banquet was also held.

The concubines, princes, and important ministers attended the New Year's Eve palace banquet.

The queen, who had never gone out, finally went out.

But she was in very bad condition, looking haggard and skinny. She sat at the top and didn't talk much. When she spoke occasionally, it was just to perfunctorily respond to greetings from others.

Jiujiu was sitting next to Qingzi at the moment. She was chewing chicken feet and asked, "Aunt Qing, why does the Queen look so bad? It seems like every time I see her, she looks bad, and this time is the worst."

"Is she feeling unwell?"

Qingzi had seen the Empress, so she knew her condition. She sighed and said, "The Empress is not just feeling unwell. She won't live long."

"What?"

Jiujiu stood up in shock.

No wonder the Queen Mother seldom goes out. She usually declines to attend banquets whenever possible and has a very low sense of presence.

It turned out that he was in poor health and would not live long.

Jiujiu's voice attracted the attention of many people.

Qingzi glanced at everyone with a smile, then said to Jiujiu: "Princess, let's keep our voices down."

"oh."

[The Queen in the book is like a background board and doesn’t appear often.]

[It is still the same now.]

[I didn't spend much time talking about her, and I don't know what happened to her.]

Jiujiu was thinking this when the Queen Mother said to her, "Yanyue, come here quickly and let the Royal Grandmother hug you."

The Queen Mother hadn't seen Jiujiu for a long time and missed her very much.

Jiujiu lifted her skirt and came to the Queen Mother, "Grandmother."

"Good boy." The Queen Mother hugged Jiujiu and gave him a big red envelope. She also whispered to him, "Although we will pay New Year's greetings and give money to ward off evil spirits tomorrow, the Royal Grandmother wants to give us Yanyue today."

The queen on the side also ordered someone to give Jiujiu a big red envelope, and said lovingly: "Mother, I also want to give Yongle some money today to ward off evil spirits. Do you have any objection?"

Tomorrow, she will not be feeling well and will not be able to go out.

I have managed to get through today with my life at stake.

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen with regret and said, "No problem."

Jiujiu accepted the big red envelope from the Queen. The silver notes inside were comparable to those given by the Empress Dowager.

The queen really likes Jiujiu, which is why she gave her such a big red envelope.

Because of Jiujiu, this energetic little girl, she, a dying person, was able to glimpse some joy in the last moments of her life.

Jiujiu certainly didn't know that she had accidentally bumped into her several times.

She was deeply moved by the lively and energetic appearance of the little girl.

She also secretly went to see Jiujiu.

The queen smiled and looked at Emperor Zhaoning: "Your Majesty, I haven't come out for a long time, and no one has mentioned it to Your Majesty. It's time to promote Concubine Li."

"And Princess Yongle must go to the upper study to study."

"besides……"

The queen wanted to say something, but suddenly she couldn't hold on and fainted.

"The Queen."
