Chapter 71: Chapter 65: Turning Danger into Safety, Crazy Face-Slapping! (7000 words)_4

"Nanny Wu daringly covered my mouth by herself, almost rendering me unable to speak. Is this not insubordination?!" Ye Qichi asked Qingyuan, pausing between each word.

Although lying down, and even covered in blood, Ye Qichi’s presence at that moment was chilling.

What makes this woman have the gall to confront her like this!

"This servant was just anxious earlier, I didn’t intend to cover Princess Chén’s mouth. I was only worried about Princess Chén’s frail body, fearing she might hurt herself." Nanny Wu, who had been kneeling all along, hurriedly explained.

Having been in the palace for many years, Nanny Wu wouldn’t have survived around the Empress without being clever, even becoming the favorite in the Empress’ eyes.

Upon hearing Nanny Wu’s explanation, Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Almost cornered by Ye Qichi’s accusation, fortunately, Nanny Wu was shrewd enough to come up with an excuse to exculpate herself.

Indeed, it hasn’t been in vain following her all these years!

"However, the Empress had just said I injured you severely?! If I can be so cruel to Nanny Wu, how could Nanny Wu care about my well-being?" Ye Qichi immediately spotted the loophole and launched a deadly counterattack.

Nanny Wu was frightened, completely unprepared for Ye Qichi to react so quickly!

Naturally, Qingyuan did not expect it either.

Ye Qichi’s eyes fixated intensely on Nanny Wu, making her feel terrified, "Or is it that Nanny Wu has always been, repaying evil with kindness?!"

"This servant is illiterate and does not know what repaying evil with kindness means. This servant only knows too well that at the end of the day I am just a servant, and being reprimanded by my masters for displeasing them is part of my duty. I have never harbored any resentment, be it towards Princess Chén or any other master," Nanny Wu explained repeatedly and righteously.

"Then Nanny Wu appealing to the Empress leading to the Empress sanctioning me with severe punishment... Isn’t that harboring resentment?!" Ye Qichi sneered coldly.

Nanny Wu’s face went pale from Ye Qichi’s words.

In the palace, she was known for her eloquence, but she couldn’t believe she was at a loss for words due to Ye Qichi’s pointed remarks.

Seizing the moment, Ye Qichi continued, "Nanny Liu, deceiving the sovereign is a grave offense! The Empress had just mentioned, it will implicate the entire family!"

Nanny Wu trembled with fear.

Qingyuan stood by, anxious and furious.

She couldn’t think of a way to help Nanny Wu in the moment, not really fearing for Nanny Wu’s suffering but for the repercussions it may bring upon herself!

"This servant... truly harbors no resentment. I have looked after the Empress for many years and never kept anything from her. Hence, this servant had to inform the Empress about the discipline imposed on me by Princess Chén..." Nanny Wu continued to make excuses.

But evidently, her arguments were getting less convincing and her confidence was waning!

"Enough!" Xiao Zhanping roared in anger, "Do you think I am blind? Can’t I see what your real intentions are?!"

With a roar.

Nanny Wu hurriedly kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die!"

"Empress!" Xiao Zhanping directed his anger towards Qingyuan, "Is this what you call a good palace attendant?!"

"Your Majesty, I truly did not know that Nanny Wu was such a person. She has always treated me with great respect, caring for me meticulously. I had absolutely no knowledge that Nanny Wu would commit such an outrageous act towards Princess Chén!" Qingyuan suddenly knelt down again and said urgently and quickly, "Someone, take Nanny Wu away and execute her with beating!"

"Empress have mercy, Empress mercy!" Upon hearing that the Empress wanted her executed, Nanny Wu became even more panicked, crawling on her knees to Qingyuan’s side, "Empress, I have served you for many years, even if there’s no merit, there was hardship. Empress mercy, Empress mercy, this servant will never dare again, never again!"

"Drag her away!" Qingyuan showed no mercy.

"No, Empress don’t..." Nanny Wu, being restrained, was now crying out in fear, "Empress, I have done so many things for you, you cannot disown me now, I have done so many unspeakable things..."

Nanny Wu’s mouth was harshly covered.

She couldn’t make a sound!

The Confinement Room was instantly quiet.

Qingyuan was shaken.

That damn servant, daring to almost betray her?!

She silently calmed herself.

That moment when Ye Qichi suddenly spoke startled her.

"Empress," Ye Qichi spoke. That moment, it was clear Qingyuan’s body shook from fright. "Since Nanny Wu could commit insubordination, could not Nanny Liu do the same?!"
