Chapter 132: Nanny Shen Slaps Her Face
"Whenever Concubine Li heard people in the palace talking about His Royal Highness the Night King, she would go home and cry bitterly. Perhaps she was afraid of being sad to see her son's current state, so she rarely left the palace to see His Royal Highness the Night King. She only went out twice a month to Huayang Temple to chant sutras and pray for him."
Having said that, the old lady sighed, her face full of melancholy.
"Alas, it's not easy for Concubine Li. She has been in the palace for 23 years but has not been favored by the emperor. She only gave birth to two children, His Royal Highness the Night King and the Tenth Princess. Now that His Royal Highness the Night King has become a crippled king, only she and the Tenth Princess are left to depend on each other in the palace."
"A woman who enters the palace may seem glamorous on the surface, but without the support of her son, it will be difficult!"
After the words were spoken, many people showed sympathy towards Concubine Li.
In the imperial palace, the status of a concubine who can give birth to a son is different from that of a concubine who cannot.
The reason why the queen was able to sit firmly on the throne was not only because she had a powerful family, but also because she gave birth to two sons and one daughter for Emperor Jingyang.
This also made her position more secure.
Other concubines who had sons would be more favored in the palace. For example, Concubine Li had a son who made great contributions on the battlefield but ended up being disabled and paralyzed. She must have been looked down upon by other concubines in the palace.
No matter how glorious she was before, she is now as miserable as she used to be.
Fortunately, Concubine Li's biological father is in charge of one of the six ministries and is also a trusted confidant of Emperor Jingyang, so Emperor Jingyang will give Concubine Li more care.
Ji Yuntang listened to these remarks, a hint of deep thought flashed across her eyes, and her heart felt surprisingly cold.
This kind of news might have been distorted by the time it was spread ten or a hundred times, and she would not believe it.
Even if Concubine Li was not favored, she was still Emperor Jingyang's concubine. She had no worries about food and drink in the palace, and her life was much more comfortable than that of ordinary people.
Saying that she felt sorry for Luo Junhe and didn't come to see him because she was afraid of seeing him so miserable and sad, that's bullshit, it's nonsense!
Others may not know, but she knows very well that Concubine Li does not love her son Luo Junhe at all.
As she was also the daughter of Luo Qianxue, she was very favored.
She did not sympathize with Concubine Li because she knew that Concubine Li would rather Luo Junhe be as miserable as possible and die sooner.
Such a person is not worthy of being Luo Junhe's mother.
After reading the evidence, Xu Muyan clenched his knuckles slightly and trembled with anger.
Dongchen State is a well-known country of etiquette, which attaches great importance to rules and customs.
He never expected that the rumored incident of evil slaves bullying their masters would actually happen in the Night King's Mansion.
The words that Ji Yuntang used to accuse Aunt Xu filled two entire pages of the petition. As long as he thought carefully about just one or two of them, he found it hard to accept.
In this dynasty, a slave is a slave. As long as the indenture is still in the hands of the master, she will be a slave for life.
Even if it's a life-saving grace, it's useless.
But what happened today shocked his three views.
"Defendant Xu, do you have anything else to say?"
Xu Muyan coldly questioned Aunt Xu, "His Royal Highness the Night King is loyal and righteous, and has treated you well. Why do you want to humiliate him like this? Do you still have the emperor and the laws of our dynasty in your eyes?"
Aunt Xu knelt on the ground and trembled, but her mind was working rapidly.
She wanted to say that this was all fake and that Ji Yuntang had made it up, but she had already produced the evidence, and Nanny Xu knew that it was no use saying any more.
Her eyes turned, and she suddenly howled at the top of her voice, "Master Xu, please understand, none of that has anything to do with me. It was all the idea of my daughter Liu Linlang."
"She was unwilling to be just a servant in the Night Palace, and she wanted to marry a rich official son. However, given her status, no official son was willing to marry her. So my daughter set her sights on the Night Palace, hoping to buy herself a dowry in advance. As a result, she had no choice but to embezzle some money from the Night Palace and bought a house and a grocery store."
"My daughter embezzled the money from the palace, hoping to make money from the grocery store to pay it back later. But before she could pay the debt, she was killed by Princess Ye. Please have mercy on me, my lord. It was all because I didn't teach my daughter well, and she was bewitched for a while. Please forgive me this time, for the sake of me being the lifesaver of His Highness the Night King. I won't dare to do it again!"
Nanny Xu pushed the blame onto Liu Linlang without feeling any pressure at all.
In her opinion, she had raised Liu Linlang for so many years, but now that she was dead, she didn't get any benefit from her.
Then her death should be more valuable, at least it can help me take the blame.
Ji Yuntang was almost laughing at Aunt Xu's shamelessness.
She knew that the other party was shameless, but she didn't expect that she was so shameless that she even didn't let go of her dead daughter.
If Liu Linlang could hear these words, she would probably be so angry that she would sit up from her coffin, right?
"How come I don't know that you are the savior of His Majesty the Night King?"
At this moment, a loud and angry voice sounded outside the door.
Ji Yuntang turned around and saw a kind-looking and neatly dressed woman in blue palace dress walking in.
It was Nanny Shen.
Nanny Shen first walked to Ji Yuntang's side, bowed slightly and saluted her with a very respectful attitude.
"I am here to see Princess Ye. Today, I was ordered by the Queen to come to the Dali Temple to testify for Princess Ye. I should not be late, right?"
Ji Yuntang smiled slightly and said gently: "It's not late, Madam Shen, you came at the perfect time."
After Luo Qingge returned to the palace yesterday, she went to Fengyi Palace and told the Queen Mother and Nanny Shen about the brocade bag.
They were both stunned when they heard this, and then filled with anger.
Nanny Shen didn't expect that after she jumped into the icy lake to save someone, she, the rescuer, didn't even think about taking credit. Instead, the credit was snatched away by Nanny Xu, who passed by Longchi and escorted Luo Junhe back to the palace.
The Dragon Pond was less than 300 meters away from the palace where Luo Junhe lived, but she claimed that she jumped into the water to save Luo Junhe. Over the years, she also claimed to be the savior of His Royal Highness the Night King, and used this to threaten him to respect her.
Not to mention being extremely audacious, it is truly shameless.
After Nanny Shen received the message sent by Ji Yuntang today, the Queen immediately asked her to leave the palace and go to the Dali Temple.
Didn’t Aunt Xu want to threaten her by using the grace of saving her life? She would slap her in the face today!
When Nanny Xu saw Nanny Shen standing in front of her, her brain froze for a few seconds, and then she screamed in disbelief.
"Ah! Why is it you!?"
Nanny Shen slapped her in the face and said sternly, "How dare you lie to His Majesty the Night King for eighteen years!"
