Chapter 1169: Chapter 933 Truth 12
Nanny Xiao did not explain, she shook her head, signaling her to get on the carriage, and then returned to the Cining Palace.
In the carriage, the Duke’s wife couldn’t understand what Nanny Xiao meant, so she asked the nanny beside her, "Do you know what Nanny Xiao meant by that?"
The nanny beside her just laughed lightly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something, which made the Duke’s wife change her expression, incredulously saying.
"Nanny Xiao actually thought of even those things."
"Otherwise, how could it be her accompanying the young lady into the palace those years instead of me?"
The Duke’s wife patted her chest, somewhat fearfully saying, "No wonder the Duke always says not to offend her, respecting her shouldn’t be less than the Empress Dowager!"
"If the Duke truly thinks so, then he is mistaken."
"Ah? Why?"
"Oh, young lady! She is exceptionally wise. We all followed her, she seems calm and indifferent, with a peaceful life. That’s because you haven’t tried to climb above her, and she just let it be.
But in truth, if anyone truly dared to deceive her, then they would have a hard time."
"But for someone like her, why isn’t she favored in the palace?
I still remember, when she first entered the Imperial Palace, the former emperor didn’t even visit her in the Kunning Palace.
If it weren’t for the officials of the previous dynasty pressing with petitions, and the Duke surrendering military power, she probably wouldn’t even have a royal son..."
The nanny beside her quickly covered the Duke’s wife’s mouth, "Shh!"
She hastily lifted the carriage curtain to look around, seeing that no one was on the path, she instructed the coachman.
"Take a round in the city, find a restaurant where we can eat, let the lady have something before going back!" Only then did she say, "From now on, you should say less about the past of the Empress Dowager with others, it’s not a good thing!"
"I know, I was just quietly talking to you when there was no one around, besides, I wasn’t wrong, she indeed wasn’t favored back then!"
The nanny beside her couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.
"Consort Rou was favored, and what happened in the end?"
The Duke’s wife’s expression was extremely shocked.
"How many favored ones were there in the harem? Apart from Consort Rou, who climbed beds when she was a palace maid and bore Princess Lianchun, is there any other favored consort who bore a son or daughter?"
The Duke’s wife, following the nanny’s words, thought deeply and fearfully!
"Nanny, did the Empress Dowager truly want to beat our young lady to death last time?
It was just to scare her, the deep palace is simply a marsh that eats people without showing bones!
The Duke understood it, did you?"
"I... I... I was just thinking, why Ning’Er never mentioned entering the palace after coming out of the Celestial Prison.
Even when knowing her father wanted to arrange a marriage with the Ji Family, she didn’t oppose it, turns out she already saw through the palace’s schemes and betrayals!"
The nanny beside her laughed quietly, "But even if she didn’t want to select her, didn’t you secretly send the portrait into the palace?
Later, if it wasn’t for the day of entering the palace when the young lady suddenly hid and couldn’t be found, you surely would have sent her into the palace."
The Duke’s wife blushed and said nothing.
At the Duke’s Mansion, Xiao Ning’Er suddenly sneezed greatly, her maid quickly said, "Miss, did you catch a cold, should I take out the medicine pill given by Princess Lianchun for you to take one?"
Upon hearing Princess Lianchun’s name, Xiao Ning’Er’s face went pale, she waved her hand, "No, no, I... I didn’t catch a cold, I’ll go to sleep first."
At this moment, Xiao Ning’Er’s mind was filled with the events of the day the selected maidens entered the palace.
Originally that day, she was supposed to enter the palace, but suddenly two men in black appeared from the sky and took her away.
Flying over eaves and walls, it scared her to death.
Later these people knocked her unconscious and threw her into the City God Temple. When she groggily woke up, she vaguely heard them say that the princess had ordered, if she still stubbornly insisted on entering the palace after waking up, then just give her a poison pill to end it.
Her small body shivered as she hid in the City God Temple for a day, only returning when it was dark.
Upon reaching the Duke’s Mansion, the maid brought a box of medicine pills and reported directly to her, "Miss, Princess Lianchun ordered someone to send you a box of medicine pills for the cold!"
Xiao Ning’Er’s face immediately turned deathly pale!
In the palace.
Empress Dowager Xiao received the Princess of Yi.
"Sister-in-law, you have been secluded for many years, besides the royal family’s Heaven Worship Ceremony where I can see you, at other times I wanted to see you once...
