Chapter 1010: Chapter 1009: Xuancheng Prince Residence, There is Another Master

"Mama, what nonsense are you spouting? How could the Empress possibly do such a thing?"

Noble Consort Li looked at Mama Xin’s eyes as if she had seen a ghost.

She lowered her eyelids, not allowing anyone to glimpse the emotions within.

Her voice, however, managed to retain some determination, "This wasn’t done by the Empress, Consort Rong was forced to poison herself by those ministers. Do not let your thoughts wander, understand?"

"Yes, yes! This servant understands, this servant admits her mistake and will not spout nonsense again."

...The sound of the wind outside swept past.

When Mama Ni returned, the Empress was sipping tea.

"How is it?" The Empress did not even raise her head as she heard Mama Ni enter the room, she calmly asked, "Did that wretched woman say anything?"

"Not a word was revealed."

Mama Ni walked behind her, whispering, "She knows if she speaks carelessly, Prince Yu will definitely be in danger. For now, she dares not act rashly."

"Prince Yu is also a person harboring ill intentions!" The Empress snorted coldly.

Mama Ni lowered her voice further, "Your Majesty, if you are worried about Noble Consort Li spilling the secrets, then... should we find an opportunity to eliminate her?"

"What’s the use of eliminating her? Prince Yu might also know something. If Noble Consort Li were to die unexpectedly, Prince Yu would place that grudge upon my head."

The Empress set down her cup and looked up at her.

Mama Ni pursed her lips and gave a nod, "Understood, then, it’s fine for Noble Consort Li to live a while longer!"

The Empress said nothing but her hand subconsciously fell on her abdomen, gently covering it.

Mama Ni immediately became anxious, "Your Majesty, is your abdomen hurting again?"

Hadn’t Chu Qianli already cured Your Majesty’s chronic ailment after so many years? Could there be lingering effects?

Was that wretched girl’s medical skill so poor?

The Empress shook her head, "It’s just, a habitual feeling of discomfort."

"Then..."

"That girl may have impure intentions, but when it comes to treating patients, she has always been focused and sincere."

Hearing this, Mama Ni was immediately relieved.

The Empress’s chronic ailment was thoroughly healed.

However...

"Your Majesty, there are some things, this servant doesn’t know if she should speak of them."

The Empress shot her a look, "Even you want to waste my time?"

"This servant dares not." Mama Ni hesitated no longer and whispered, "Your Majesty, Chu Qianli is now not only no longer the Empress of Leng Teng but has even become a criminal of Longteng."

"Right now, she can be said to have no worth at all, with nothing but her medical skills. But since Your Majesty’s sickness is already healed, these skills are of little value to you."

The Empress was also pondering this issue.

So, maintaining Chu Qianli now would be a loss without gain for them.

It seems there was no need anymore.

"Does Your Majesty know, there seems to be news from Yexuan’s Prince Residence that Prince Yexuan wishes to be with Commandery Princess Feiyan?"

"News has gotten out?" What kind of news is this? The Empress frowned, "Is this Prince Yexuan’s own wish?"

"It’s likely the desire of those around him, and it seems like... there’s someone manipulating things from behind..."

"Has that wretched Consort Rong really returned?" A tightness gripped the Empress’s heart, and the cup she had just picked up nearly shattered in her grasp.

"This servant spoke out of turn, Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

How could Mama Ni know whether Consort Rong had come back?

But, apart from Feng Yexuan, there seemed to be another master in the Yexuan Prince Residence.

"Wuzhou Garden is now heavily guarded; our spies can’t get in at all. This servant just has a feeling, whenever Lord Yexuan leaves, it’s as if there is still another master within Wuzhou Garden!"
