Chapter 60 Can't See It clearly
Nanny Xi smiled bitterly and said, "I have to repay her favor. I had a serious illness last year. It was
Princess Wenqing who sent medicine to cure me. Now I help her once to repay this favor. I know that
Princess Chu will not be punished. The Retired Emperor still needs her. At most, she will be scolded. I
don't want to hurt anyone."
After that, she kowtowed deeply. When she looked up again, she looked calm. "I have nothing to say.
Your Majesty, please grant me the Poison Bar!"
She had already paid off what she owed in this life.
In the future, she would not owe him anything.
Emperor Mingyuan's face was full of uncertainty. "If you confess the person behind you, I will pretend
that nothing has happened."
Nurse Xi was silent, as if she had put her life and death aside.
Emperor Mingyuan was extremely angry and sad. He naturally could not kill Nurse Xi and even tell the
Retired Emperor about it who had a heart disease now and could not bear the blow of being poisoned
by a retainer who accompanied him for decades.
After a long silence, he said, "Since you said that you didn't want to harm the Retired Emperor, I
believe you and will not pursue it. However, you are getting old and is not suitable to serve the Retired
Emperor anymore. Since Princess Chu and you are congenial, then let her ask for a favor from the
Retired Emperor for you to serve her later."
After all, Emperor Mingyuan did not want to punish her in person. Since Nurse Xi had hurt Yuan
Qingling, so let her to follow her so that Yuan Qingling could do what she want.
Yuan Qingling was dumbfounded!
"Nurse Xi, please leave." Emperor Mingyuan had restrained his anger and said indifferently.
Nurse Xi looked at Yuan Qingling with a complicated expression before bowing and taking her leave.
Emperor Mingyuan looked at servant Chang and said, "Go and keep an eye on her and you'd better
comfort her anyway. Don't let her find faults in the palace."
It seemed that Nurse Xi was prepared to die. He was afraid that the Retired Emperor would know if she
was suicide in the palace.
"Yes!" Eunuch Chang took the order and left.
Yuan Qingling and Emperor Mingyuan stared at each other.
"Why didn't you tell me first?" Emperor Mingyuan said angrily.
Yuan Qingling knew that he had been a little reckless. He did not think that The Emperor would be
willing to let Senior Servant Xi be exposed.
She admitted her mistake sincerely. "That's my fault."
Emperor Mingyuan looked at her and said, "You already knew that Nurse Xi sending the Southern
Pearl to the Empress?"
"She said it was for Queen Xian."
"Humph." Emperor Mingyuan snorted. "Didn't you say that she took it without permission?"
Yuan Qingling said, "I don't know whether she would admit it in the end. If she does, I will also admit it,
otherwise, I will insist that she took it away without permission. I can't be charged for nothing."
She was a little smart.
Emperor Mingyuan did not question her any more. Instead, he was curious. "She told you that she
would give it to Queen Xian. How did you know that she giving it to the Empress in the end?"
"If she is kind enough to protect the relationship between me and Queen Xian, she should suggest that Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
I send it to her in person, but she didn't, instead, she suggested doing it for me. Besides, even the
Empress had not get the Southern Pearl, it is really inappropriate for me to give it to Queen Xian. Nurse
Xi will not make such a mistake unless she wants to frame me."
Smart girl. At this moment, her mind could still be so clear.
Emperor Mingyuan said indifferently, "Now that I have sent Nurse Xi to you, you can do whatever you
want. But don't let the Retired Emperor know."
Yuan Qingling said helplessly, "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to send her to me. I can't deal with
her." The Emperor wanted to use her to deal with Nurse Xi. But once she did it, she would definitely
offend the Retired Emperor who was her only backing. That was not she wanted.
"She's yours anyway. You can do whatever you want. I don't care."
Yuan Qingling thought to herself that Emperor Mingyuan was cunning, but there was nothing she could
do. After all, he was The Emperor.
Emperor Mingyuan looked at her and said, "If you really have no idea, maybe you can go back and ask
your father."
Yuan Qingling felt helpless. Was it really good to test her so thoroughly?
"I don't want to bother him." Yuan Qingling said...
Emperor Mingyuan was very satisfied with her answer. He looked at her for a moment and suddenly
said, "Nurse Xi just said that Princess Wenqing hated you so that she framed you. You were in the
wrong first, so you can't take revenge in private, understand?"
"What if she provokes me first?" Yuan Qing asked in reply, she can't be bullied for nothing.
"She doesn't dare to do that. The Chu family won't let her make trouble again. There's one more thing."
Emperor Mingyuan pondered for a moment and looked at her, saying, "Queen Xian once mentioned to
me that Yu Wenhao and Princess Wenqing grew up together and failed to get married. It's a pity to him.
Princess Wenqing has a younger sister who looks very similar to her. I plan to marry her to Yu Wenhao
as a second wife for compensation. Do you have any problem?"
Yuan Qingling shook her head. "No!"
Emperor Mingyuan was a little surprised to her generous.
Miss Chu of the Chu family was the legitimate daughter. Once she married Yu Wenhao, even she, as
the main consort, would make way for her. Did she really not care?
Or, did she not know the power of the Chu family?
Obviously, she was not stupid and should understand this.
"You can leave." Emperor Mingyuan ordered.
Yuan Qingling took her leave.
After leaving the palace, she took a deep breath. Marry a second consort? Great, why not? After
marrying his co-consort, he fulfilled his wish. In the future, they would be harmonious and loving, so
that they would not trouble her again. Great!
When she returned to the rest room, she saw Nurse Xi standing under the locust tree with hands
hanging down and looked at her quietly.
There seemed to be no emotion in her eyes, as if nothing had happened between them, so calm that it
frightened her.
Yuan Qingling walked over and looked into her eyes.
Nurse Xi lowered her head slightly and bowed. "My Lady!"
"Nurse Xi, are you waiting for me?"
Nurse Xi stared at her. "Since Your Grace has seen through me, why didn't you expose me?"
"I was kind to hoping that you would not give the Southern Pearl to the Empress in the end."
The Nurse Xi's eyes darkened and she said mockingly, "My Lady, aren't you very disappointed? I didn't
cherish the opportunity you gave me, but sent the Southern Pearl to the Empress."
"Yes, I'm very disappointed." Yuan Qing's expression did not change, but her tone was full of tiredness.
"I thought there was finally a person who was good to me here. I thought too much."
She looked at the door of the rest room, and Prince Sun's laughter could be heard from inside. As soon
as she entered, she would see Yu Wenhao, but she didn't want to see him. For a moment, she felt so
lonely that there was nowhere to go.
Finally, she went to the Qinkun Palace.
Although the old man had a bad temper and often scolded her, he knew how to coax her after scolding.
Along the way, she was still thinking about the person behind the scenes. Who could make Nurse Xi
betray the Retired Emperor and would rather die than reveal him?
It was indeed impossible for Chu Mingcui to do that. Nurse Xi would not harm the Retired Emperor for
her.
Nurse Xi said that she didn't know it was poison and she didn't mean to harm the retired emperor, but
she had been in the palace for many years, could she simply thought that the person was asking her to
exchange two candies for the Retired Emperor?
The emperor's attitude was also very strange. Even if he was worried about the Retired Emperor's
health, it was impossible for him not to investigate, wasn't it? This was an attempt to murder the Retired
Emperor. It was monstrous. The murderer had yet to be found, the Retired Emperor was still in danger.
Yuan Qingling felt that she could not see through the chaos in the palace clearly.
