Chapter 469: So What?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Noble Consort Ji hesitated again and again. She reached out to pinch one and put it in her mouth before suppressing the bitterness in her mouth.

The candied plums were made by Xiaoxiao. They were moderately sweet and suited her taste.

“I’ve already drunk the medicine. Your Majesty is busy every day. Don’t waste your time with me.”

The Emperor chuckled and put down the bowl. “Sometimes, I’m really curious. What’s your heart made of?”

A long time after the Emperor left, Noble Consort Ji sighed. She took out a pouch from under her pillow, poured out a pill from the pouch, and flipped through it. There was indecision between her brows.

“Your Highness, Princess An’ning is here.”

Hearing this, Noble Consort Ji hurriedly stuffed the pill back into her purse and placed the purse beside her pillow. “Let her in.”

How could her confidant, the nanny, miss out on the joy in her tone?

For the past few days, His Majesty had been keeping an eye on Her Highness, who had been drinking her medicine. After drinking the medicine, Her Highness had been eagerly waiting for the snacks from Princess An’ning. If not for the fact that she was afraid of arousing suspicion, she would probably have asked Princess An’ning to stay over.

It was great. She had watched Her Highness grow up. After parting ways with the Third Prince, she had never seen Her Highness smile sincerely again. She thought that Her Highness could only wear a mask and suffer in this life. Fortunately… Fortunately.

Xiaoxiao realized that the nanny beside Noble Consort Ji was especially friendly to her. Not only did she smile brightly every time she saw her, but she also asked about her well-being. Those who didn’t know better would think that she was her Mistress.

The nanny glanced at the food box in her hand and asked softly, “What did you bring today?”

Even though there was no one else around, Xiaoxiao replied softly, “Chicken jus Ruyi buns. Little Big Brother made this personally today.”

The nanny’s smile widened, and even her footsteps became much faster. Xiaoxiao roughly understood something and said, “If it wasn’t for the court session, Little Big Brother originally wanted to send it here personally.”

The nanny first smiled, then sighed. “He’d better not. It’s inevitable that others will be suspicious if we suddenly get close.”

That was true. Little Big Brother’s background was like a time bomb. If it exploded, it would really be a huge matter that concerned his life. For this, that stinky fellow even found an excuse to postpone the wedding date!

Xiaoxiao pouted and entered the house with the food box.

The people in Noble Consort Ji’s palace could only stay outside the second door. They saw that not long after Xiaoxiao entered, the nanny walked out with a familiar food box. Her tone was cold and disdainful. “Feed this to the dogs.”

The palace maid was well-behaved and did not ask a word that she should not have. She really took the fragrant bun to the kennel not far away.

Speaking of which, it was strange. In the past, Her Highness did not like dogs, but recently, she had gotten such a big and scary mastiff from somewhere. She said that she was keeping it to guard the house.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, there was a guard every five steps. How could there be a need for a dog to guard the house?

Besides, this dog looked lazy. Could it really take care of the house?

Just as she thought this, she saw the mastiff, who was lying on its stomach and basking in the sun, turn around and stand up. It stared at the palace maid walking towards it with a burning gaze… and the food box in her hand.

The palace maid laughed. “Your nose is quite sharp.”

The maid shook her head when she saw the fragrant and soft white bread in the food box.

This Princess An’ning was really too much. She was here to visit Noble Consort and she only brought this?

At least, she should make some snacks and fruits. No wonder the nanny asked her to feed them to the dogs.

Walnut didn’t care what she was thinking. After the palace maid placed the buns in its special bowl, it wagged its tail and nodded at her softly. Then, it lowered its head, picked one up, and swallowed it in one gulp. As expected, it was a meat bun personally made by Master! It was so delicious!

The palace maid pointed at herself in surprise. “Was it greeting me just now?”

The others were also very surprised. “That’s true. Could it be very smart?”

Walnut raised its head and rolled its eyes at the palace maid. Its IQ.had been certified by Master!

The palace maids chattered in a circle and forgot to think about it. Princess An’ning’s food box had been withdrawn, but she had stayed for a long time.

Actually, Xiaoxiao usually only left after sending a message to Noble Consort Ji and Rong Yan. But today, she heard a notification from the space just as she arrived in front of Noble Consort Ji’s bed.

[Ding… Dangerous ingredients discovered.]

Xiaoxiao’s gaze followed the arrow given by the space and landed on the pouch. Although she felt that Xiaoxiao wouldn’t know anything, Noble Consort Ji was still a little nervous. Then, she stuffed the pouch under her pillow.

Wasn’t this exposing herself?

Xiaoxiao, who did not care much about the pouch at first, was instantly interested. [What’s the effect after taking it?]

The space’s tone was heavy: [Sudden death.]

As a positive energy space that promoted delicious food, it instinctively disliked such dangerous ingredients.

Then the question was, who was Noble Consort Ji preparing this “ingredient” for?

Was it her or someone else?

To be on the safe side, Xiaoxiao changed the medicine to another medicine that took effect faster but was not fatal.

This way, if Noble Consort Ji wanted to protect herself and the new medicine could achieve her goal faster, she could also pour out a large dose of medicine at once. If she wanted to give it to herself… that was definitely impossible.

Xiaoxiao couldn’t be blamed for thinking too much. After all, she and Rong Yan didn’t see Noble Consort Ji alive in their dreams.

With this additional interlude, about an hour had passed when Xiaoxiao left again. At this moment, in the morning court, the ministers led by Prime Minister Yan were objecting to the Empress’s confinement.

The Emperor treated them as farts. Instead, he asked about the details of the granary and new farming in the world, as well as the current situation of the young students who showed their talents during the imperial examination.

Prime Minister Yan looked calm on the surface, but he had already secretly signaled to the ministers.

Since ancient times, one cast aside the bow once the birds are gone. Now that the world was settled, it seemed like the Emperor had long forgotten the merits of their Yan Family following his lead back then. It was time to leave a way out for himself.

After the court session, Prime Minister Yan gathered with a few old officials and said, “It seems that His Majesty is planning to promote new people now. I wonder if everyone will…”

On the other side, the Emperor, who had flipped open the memorandum, played with the “jade seal” in his hand and asked Eunuch De, “You haven’t found it yet?”

Eunuch De immediately knelt down. “I’m useless. Please punish me, Your Majesty.”

The Emperor clicked his tongue. “Can the real jade seal be found just by punishing you?”

Eunuch De did not dare to reply. The Great Xia’s jade seal had been switched under their noses. This was a huge matter! Fortunately, he was a reasonable ruler now. Otherwise, everyone in this hall would be exterminated!

The Emperor asked again, “What did Han Qing say?”

Eunuch De said, “He said that they chased him to the suburbs of the capital…”

In the forest in the suburbs of the capital, Han Qing and her men searched almost every tree. Finally, before sunset, they saw the assassin who had escaped from the palace turn around and enter a manor.

“Commander Han, what should we do?”

Han Qing, who had already become the commander of the Imperial Guards, made a prompt decision. “Surround the village immediately and search!”

The deputy commander hesitated. “But… that’s the Empress’s manor.”

Han Qing snorted.. “So what?”
