Chapter 130: Ganlu Palace Shrouded in Black Mist

In the middle of the night, the Crown Princess suddenly woke up from a nightmare. She wrapped herself in the quilt with trembling hands, "Ah Yin, I just dreamed that Nanny Fang came to take my life."

"Grandma, please don't scare yourself!" Manager Yin, who was originally on guard outside, came in with a candlestick and whispered to comfort her.

"I sent someone to handle it cleanly. It will definitely not be discovered."

Having said that, the prince's expression already looked ugly.

Manager Yin helped pour a glass of water, wanting to warm the Crown Princess's hands, but he was knocked to the ground by the Crown Princess.

Whenever the Crown Princess thought of Nanny Fang being thrown into the water and drowned, she couldn't help but shudder all over.

"Are you sure you have handled it well and there will be no loopholes left?"

The Crown Princess' throat felt dry and itchy, and if one listened carefully one could hear a hidden tremor in it.

"Your Majesty, you just had a nightmare." Manager Yin patted her cold hands and ordered the little palace maid serving in the outer hall to get a hot water bottle and fill it with hot water.

After stuffing the warm soup bottle into the Crown Princess's bed, Manager Yin once again soothed her softly, "Your Majesty, Nanny Fang didn't die because of you. You don't need to feel guilty."

"Besides, who can find a person who is sinking to the bottom of the water? Even if the body is salvaged, I'm afraid it will have been eaten beyond recognition by the fish and shrimp at the bottom of the lake."

"What we do will never be discovered."

After hearing Manager Yin's repeated assurances, the Crown Princess heaved a sigh of relief, "Leave a light on tonight!"

"Okay, Madam, go to bed early. I will keep watch for you outside."

Like the Ganlu Palace, the brightly lit palace is the Changle Palace.

Nan Zhiyu yawned as she sat in the first seat, looking at Qingdai and the others standing nearby with excited expressions on their faces. She felt a little confused.

What's the matter? Why can't you wait until daytime to ask? Why do you have to ask in the middle of the night?

When Nanny Fang opened her eyes and saw Yue Liangyuan, who was drowsy sitting in the main seat, she was so scared that she took several steps back. "Yue Liangyuan, you are so bold that you actually want to harm me?"

Nan Zhiyu was almost asleep when Nanny Fang yelled, "Idiot!"

Nanny Fang didn't understand what she meant, but she knew it was an insult to her.

Nanny Fang was trembling, and before she could speak, she saw the young eunuch staring at her with a gloomy face, like a poisonous snake hiding in a dark corner.

"W-what do you want to do?"

Fu Zhu half-knelt on the ground and rudely pulled Nanny Fang's collar, "Old woman, if my master hadn't been kind enough to save you, you would have drowned in the lake and died a wronged death!"

After Nanny Fang realized what was happening, she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you very much, Yue Liangyuan, for saving my life."

Nan Zhiyu was extremely sleepy, but she had to cheer herself up. She said in a cold voice, "The one you should thank is not me, but yourself.

I never do business at a loss. If you were not still of some use, you would have been lying at the bottom of the lake feeding the fishes."

Nanny Fang couldn't help but tremble all over when she remembered that she almost died before, because she couldn't control her fear. "I wonder what the young lady wants me to do?" Nanny Fang had made up her mind that no matter what Yue Liangyuan asked her to do, she would agree.

Nan Zhiyu gently stroked the red cinnabar on her fingers and said nonchalantly, "Then Nanny Fang, tell me some interesting things, such as how Concubine Ming and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince met and got to know each other?"

When Nanny Fang heard the request was so simple, she agreed readily.

Qingdai was afraid that she would freeze to death, so she brought a pot of ordinary hot tea from the tea room and placed it on the ground for her. "Tell my little master a story. You don't have to be too fancy, but your voice is too bad. Drink more water to moisten your throat."

Nanny Fang told her everything she knew about Ming Zhaoyi, word for word.

Nan Zhiyu was originally too sleepy to open her eyes, but when she heard the story node about the Crown Prince and Ming Zhaoyi's initial concern for each other, she turned around and got down from the Arhat couch.
Wearing white socks and stepping on the carpet, she walked in front of Nanny Fang and said, "You just said that the Crown Prince treated Concubine Ming specially because she ignored the Crown Prince's safety for a long time in the mountains and her body was damaged?"

For some reason, that painful memory emerged in Nan Zhiyu's mind.

She grabbed Nanny Fang's arm and asked anxiously, "Do you know which mountain it is?"

Nanny Fang didn't understand why Yue Liangyuan was so excited. She tried to recall and said haltingly, "It seems to be Yunming Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing."

Nan Zhiyu's face turned pale. She took two steps back and tripped over the carpet, almost falling. Fortunately, Lianyue was quick to catch her.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Lian Yue looked anxiously at his master who seemed a little distraught. He turned to look at Qingdai beside him and found that her expression was also a little strange.

Nan Zhiyu shook her head, completely suppressing the turmoil in her heart, "As long as Nanny Fang explains clearly what you did for the Crown Princess and the spies that the Qi family planted in the palace, you can leave Changle Palace."

Nanny Fang looked at Yue Liangyuan's leaving back, with a hint of shock in her eyes.

This woman is indeed not as simple as she seems!
She obviously knew everything, but she disguised herself very well and fooled most people in the harem.

Nanny Fang explained everything half-truthfully, and Fu Zhu walked up to her with a smile on his face, "Nanny Fang, don't you want to overthrow the Crown Princess and completely get rid of the Qi family's control?
Or do you think that if you fail in your mission and return to the Qi family, the head of the Qi family will let you go? "

Nanny Fang's whole body froze. She had realized that what the young eunuch in front of her said was true.

"What can a small eunuch like you do to help an old woman like me?" Nanny Fang finally shed her timid expression and revealed her true face.

Qingdai played with the delicate fruit knife in her hand and casually patted her cheek. "Fuzhu can pull you out of the water, and can also send you back, so think carefully about whether you want to cooperate or not."

Nanny Fang finally chose her own life and confessed everything she knew.

As the sky gradually brightened, Nanny Fang became increasingly thirsty from talking and was eventually sent out of Changle Palace.

Nanny Fang didn't know who she should go to in order to save her own life while posing a threat to the Crown Princess.

She suddenly remembered what Lian Yue had whispered in her ear before she left, "Madame Fang, why don't you go and see Concubine Ming Zhaoyi, who is still seriously ill, on behalf of the Crown Princess?!"

Nanny Fang dragged her exhausted body and walked towards Hexiangyuan step by step.

The cold wind in the early morning made people shiver all over, not to mention that Nanny Fang's clothes were not completely dry yet. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

But she didn't dare to fall down like this, for fear that if she closed her eyes, she would never be able to open them again.

 The second photo I promised to take is here late (=TェT=). I really need to go to bed now. After all, I still have to go to work tomorrow (﹏)
