Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 711 - 652: Another Update

Zheng Nianru patiently waited through the night, but still, no news came from Chenyuan Hall.

"What about Ju Nanyi?" Zheng Nianru asked Fu Dong. Nian Xia had not returned with any news yet, and Fu Dong anxiously looked toward the direction of the palace gates.

Just then, Nian Xia rushed in.

"Your Highness, something has happened. Eunuch Du said the Emperor and Prime Minister Ju had a big argument, it was very severe, I fear something big might happen," Nian Xia reported breathlessly.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Nianru’s eyes flashed evasively. An incident? What kind of incident could it be? Wasn’t the most pressing issue the attack from Nanmen State?

"What happened? What exactly happened?" Fu Dong was panic-stricken. Nian Xia was usually brave, so for her to be this frightened, it must be serious. "Where is Nanny Yun, where’s the Nanny?"

Fu Dong was about to go find Nanny Yun, but Nian Xia grabbed hold of her.

"Nanny Yun has already gone to see Eunuch Du. When I was there, the situation was urgent. Eunuch Du only had time to tell me a few words and asked me to go back and find the Nanny to meet him," Nian Xia explained, still catching her breath.

Zheng Nianru said nothing. What could this big incident be?

Zheng Nianru felt uneasy. She had indeed considered discussing this event with Zheng Congyuan, but as time went on, she became more and more reluctant to speak up, especially after what happened today.

Zheng Nianru’s fingers trembled slightly. She, she was doing all this to change the outcome from her previous life. She wasn’t wrong.

Yet, she couldn’t even explain herself. How could she make Zheng Congyuan believe in the memories that she lived through once already and the tragic and desperate ending that befell them both?

Therefore, whatever Ju Nanyi wanted to say, Zheng Nianru could vaguely guess, but she still didn’t believe Ju Nanyi would dare to say it out loud.

The next moment, Zheng Nianru stood up. It would be better for him to speak out. She did all this for whom? If only Zheng Congyuan had agreed from the beginning to want nothing more, if they could have found a peaceful place, just taking Nanny Yun, Fu Dong, Qi Ling, Qi Zhu, and the rest of the group, they too could have lived a carefree life.

"Your Highness, please stay calm, we can wait for Nanny Yun to return," Fu Dong suddenly took hold of Zheng Nianru, forgetting the proper distance due to her urgency.

"Yes, Your Highness, you must stay calm. With a formidable enemy before us, we must remain composed."

Zheng Nianru hesitated. Ju Nanyi, Ju Nanyi, why does he have to bring this up now? What is he trying to do?

Nanny Yun returned quickly to Chenhe Palace, her hands and feet still trembling.

"Nanny, what happened?" Fu Dong and Nian Xia immediately surrounded her, steadying the nearly unsteady Nanny Yun, and brought her before Zheng Nianru. Every second before Nanny Yun’s return was like an agony in Chenhe Palace.

Nanny Yun’s face was deathly pale, her lips quivering as she glanced at Zheng Nianru, her mind still filled with the noise of bombshells.

"Nanny Yun, don’t panic, take your time," Zheng Nianru said, noticing Nanny Yun’s fright, and did not rush her.

Nanny Yun jumped at Zheng Nianru’s voice and immediately looked at her.

"Your Highness, why don’t we take advantage of the chaos now and run away?" Nanny Yun suggested, shocking everyone to silence, and the fruit tray that Xue Liu had just brought in was knocked to the ground by Nian Xia, making a grating noise.

Zheng Nianru, however, calmed down. It must be the worst outcome she had anticipated.

"Nanny Yun, be clear, what exactly is going on?" Zheng Nianru asked composedly, looking at Nanny Yun.

"Eunuch Du said, Prime Minister Ju, no, that Ju Nanyi is outrageously bold, he actually told the Emperor, the Emperor said..." Nanny Yun spoke but could not continue.

"Your Highness, we still have one option, to kill Ju Nanyi directly. Yes, kill him..." Nanny Yun immediately suggested, yes, why should they run? Wouldn’t killing Ju Nanyi solve the problem?

"Nanny, but the Prime Minister..." could they really kill him?

Zheng Nianru took a deep breath. Ju Nanyi really couldn’t be killed. Killing him now would not only leave them unable to break the siege from Nanmen State, but it would also render all her meticulously laid plans completely meaningless.

"Your Highness, what do we do?" Fu Dong looked to Zheng Nianru, Nanny Yun was in a state of panic, and only their lady seemed slightly more composed. Fu Dong could only set her eyes on Zheng Nianru.

Fu Dong’s question made everyone look to Zheng Nianru, realizing that she was the calmest person present.

"Ju Nanyi cannot be killed," Zheng Nianru said after a deep contemplation, confirming that he could not be killed, as much as she didn’t want to admit it, she had to acknowledge the crucial role Ju Nanyi played for the entirety of Nanzheng.
