?As she watched Nanny Qian being dragged out, Yaoniang did not sympathize with her.?Perhaps, once upon a time in her past life, she would’ve sympathized with her. But during this lifetime, that would never happen.?Thankfully, Jin Wang had spoken up for her. Otherwise, her current state would’ve been much more pitiful. Yaoniang wasn’t someone who has never seen the wooden plank before, and it was even used on her before. But in this lifetime, she chose her conscience because she didn’t want to become the type of people she once hated.?She couldn’t help but think of Jin Wang. Did his highness speak up to protect the consort? Or was it…?“Nanny Su, your face is a little swollen. Would you like any ice?” asked Luyao.?Yao Niang automatically reached up to touch her face. The incident had happened so fast that she didn’t have the chance to feel any pain at all. But now that it was over, she could feel the heat coming from her face.?“It’s not troublesome anymore.”?Mammy Mu glanced at her and sighed. “You were also shocked today. Go back to your room and rest. There’s still Yuyan and Yucui, they can take care of everything.”?“But the little princess…”?Mammy Mu looked at Nanny Wang and said, “Nanny Wang is also here. Don’t worry about it.”?“Yes.”?Jin Wang came out of the small courtyard with a gloomy expression on his face.?Fucheng followed behind him, and he dared not even breathe too loudly.?“Go investigate. You go too.”?This ‘you’ was not explicitly mentioned, but the hidden guard in the shadows immediately left. Fucheng also bowed his head in acknowledgement.?Since Side Consort Hu dared to arrange this play, she was sure that no one would be able to trace it back to her. But what kind of person was Jin Wang??As the master of the manor, if Jin Wang wanted to investigate anything, it wouldn’t be hard to find something. It was a matter of whether he wished to or not. This time, Side Consort Hu had crossed the line. Before, she had used the little princess as an excuse and moved her out of Liuchun Pavilion. But who could expect her to be so foolish? It hasn’t even been many days yet, but she’d already forgotten her last lesson.?Not to mention this time, she also got Nanny Su entangled in her mess. ?Fucheng peeked towards Jin Wang’s face. His highness looked very angry. A large part of it must have been because of the involvement of Nanny Su.?Fucheng shook his head. Whether this incident was done by the consort or self-directed by Side Consort Hu, it didn’t matter. His highness had suppressed the matter temporarily. But someone would definitely be held responsible.?Nanny Su’s pretty little face was red and swollen. Fucheng didn’t miss the flash that passed through his highness’s eyes.?When they returned to Zhaohui Hall, Fucheng started his investigation immediately.?He knew that this matter must be dealt with, and soon. Even if his highness hadn’t given specific orders, as servants, they must be discerning.?Although Fucheng was a eunuch without roots, he had come in contact with countless women throughout the years. Women tend to be narrow-minded creatures. If Nanny Su complained or caused a ruckus, his highness would be in worse spirits, and it would be the servants that suffered.?Honestly, it would mainly be himself. Who asked him to be the one that served his highness??Doctor Liu returned to the princess to do another checkup. He soon left after confirming that the little princess’s condition was improving from taking the medicine.?Mammy Mu was too old to stay up the entire night, so she left Yucui, Yuyan, and Nanny Wang to watch over the little princess. Lu’er and Luyan also didn’t return to rest. Instead, they found themselves a place outside where they could stand guard. They were afraid that otherwise there may be some other unexpected events or emergencies.?The night was deep, and everything was silent.?The light in the room was yellow and dim.?Yucui couldn’t help but succumb to her fatigue and soon she was fast asleep. Now, there were only Yuyan and Nanny Wang who remained on watch.?Yuyan stood up suddenly, which frightened Nanny Wang.?“Yuyan …”?Yuyan laughed. “You don’t need to be so nervous. Nanny Wang, I need to go relieve myself. You stay here. If anything happens, call Yucui. I’ll be back soon.”?Nanny Wang nodded, and Yuyan left the room.?The room was quiet again, so quiet that no sound could be heard. Nanny Wang, with her heart pounding like drums, carefully looked towards Yucui, who laid on the couch beneath the window. After observing for a short while, she saw that the other party was in a deep sleep. She got up quickly and reached over to touch the little princess.?The medicine that the little princess drank included an ingredient that induced sleepiness. The princess’s rash caused her to feel super uncomfortable. Whenever she was awake, she would cry until she was hoarse and exhausted. Doctor Liu could only add some sedatives to her medicine. The sedatives helped her sleep and prevented her from crying too much and worsening her physical condition?Nanny Wang gently pinched the little princess’s cheek again. When she saw that she did not wake up, she continued to pinch the princess’s cheek with one hand. She stretched out a finger from her remaining hand into the princess’s mouth to poke around for something.?She prodded around, careful not to miss anything.?Nanny Wang couldn’t help but recall the incident from earlier that day–?Side Consort Hu had ordered her to secretly cause the princess to have a rash. Nanny Wang wasn’t stupid. If this matter was not done well, it would be herself that landed in hot water. So she deliberately instigated Nanny Qian to become more dissatisfied with Nanny Su. As soon as something happened, that dumb woman jumped out to make accusations without any extra prodding from her.?Although the little princess’s rash was caused by crabs, it was not from the crab bun found on the plate. It was caused by the crab meat stuffed into her mouth by Nanny Wang when she started her shift.
