The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 485 - 447: The Truth

Initially, Nanny Qu’s plan was to create an accident, adding concrete proof to Wei Wushang’s reputation as a wife killer.

Of course, Yuan Bao wouldn’t die from this accident.

But as long as such accidents happened a few more times, and then Yuan Bao died, Wei Wushang’s reputation would be solidified.

Such a fortunate and strong-willed person as Princess Jiafu couldn’t withstand Wei Wushang’s lonely star fate, naturally, others would have no hope.

Unfortunately, Nanny Qu’s plot was exposed by Yuan Bao, prompting Nanny Qu to harbor murderous intent.

This secret must absolutely not be revealed.

Once the Wei Family becomes aware of what they have done, the relationship between the Wei Family and the royal family would undoubtedly become hostile.

At that point, Emperor Xia, to quell the Wei Family’s anger, might deal with them all.

After all, the emperor is never wrong.

Moreover, from start to finish, Emperor Xia truly knew nothing of this plan.

"County Princess, be careful!"

Nanny Qu suddenly made a move, and a dagger fell swiftly from her sleeve, stabbing towards Yuan Bao’s heart like lightning.

This time, it was aimed for a fatal strike.

Nanny Xue, noticing Nanny Qu’s action, urgently warned.

Since Yuan Bao exposed Nanny Qu’s scheme, how could she not be wary of her?

At the moment when Nanny Qu’s dagger fell, Yuan Bao was already aware.

At the moment Nanny Xue called out her warning, Yuan Bao had already made her move.

Her previously empty hands now held a sharp long sword the moment she raised them, and with a simple horizontal slash, the sword’s tip sliced across Nanny Qu’s throat.

A line of blood appeared on Nanny Qu’s neck, and then blood sprayed out.

Yuan Bao had already retracted her sword and stepped back.

"Help!"

"Murder!"

"There’s an assassin!"

Seeing Nanny Qu’s death, the accompanying palace maids cried out in alarm.

Nanny Lan, in particular, shouted "There’s an assassin," trying to condemn Yuan Bao to death.

This is the palace, teeming with masters.

Once the guard masters arrive, as long as they regard Yuan Bao as an assassin, she would be doomed without a resting place for her corpse.

As long as Yuan Bao is dead, Nanny Lan would be safe.

Yuan Bao, having slain Nanny Qu, did not stop these people’s cries.

She was indeed troubled about how to escalate the situation!

"County Princess!"

Mei Jiu approached Yuan Bao, speaking softly, "Shall we notify the Eldest Princess?"

"No need!"

Yuan Bao gently shook her head.

After killing Nanny Qu, Yuan Bao had already regained her composure from the initial shock and anger. And upon regaining calm, after thinking about the whole affair, she understood many things.

Nanny Qu’s actions against her, Emperor Xia seemingly did not know.

After all, she now possessed the Immortal Treasure.

This Immortal Treasure could store supplies.

Daxia aimed to unify the world, Yuan Bao’s Immortal Treasure could transport provisions. A single person transporting supplies would reduce losses by at least fifty percent.

In war, it’s not just about military strength but also logistical support.

In the past wars, maintaining military grain consumption required tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of civilians just to transport grain.

These people also need to eat.

So frankly, if Emperor Xia knew someone wanted to harm Yuan Bao, he would probably be the first to object.

After all, Emperor Xia is an emperor with grand ambitions, fully intent on unifying the world.

And to conquer the world, Yuan Bao’s strategic asset is irreplaceable. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Likewise, due to Yuan Bao’s important status, her uniqueness, the fewer people who know the better.

In other words, the Empress Dowager probably didn’t know about Yuan Bao’s uniqueness either.

Therefore, Nanny Qu dared to make a move against her.

As the most favored manager maid beside the Empress Dowager, Nanny Qu’s conduct was more likely aligned with the Empress Dowager’s intentions.

Soon, skilled female guards from the palace arrived.

Only, unexpectedly for Nanny Lan and the others, these guards upon arrival, didn’t ask questions but directly attacked Nanny Lan and her group.

This change further confirmed Yuan Bao’s suspicions.

"Apologies for frightening the County Princess!"

"The Emperor requests your presence in the Imperial Study Room!"

The female guards who arrived quickly executed Nanny Lan and the palace maids from the Empress Dowager’s palace, and the leading female guard performed a respectful salute to Yuan Bao, clarifying the purpose.

"Please lead the way!"

Yuan Bao smiled slightly, signaling this female guard to lead in front.

At the moment Nanny Lan and the rest were killed, Yuan Bao realized her idea of escalating the situation was destined to fail.

Emperor Xia’s intervention meant this matter ends here.

Behind Nanny Qu was the Empress Dowager.

Emperor Xia could not possibly take action against his own mother for Yuan Bao.

As for Wei Wushang, who has been burdened with the reputation of a wife killer, he could only continue to endure this grievance.

After all, the Empress Dowager was Wei Wushang’s biological grandmother.

Even though the Eldest Princess felt wronged for her son, what could she do?

That was her own mother!

As for Wei Dingjiang?

This current Family Head of the Wei Family, the Empress Dowager’s son-in-law, even if he knew the truth, what could he do?

Yuan Bao didn’t know.

Or rather, she didn’t want to bother thinking about it.

Because this matter, no matter how she thinks, doesn’t matter.

The future direction of this matter can be decided by Emperor Xia, or by Wei Dingjiang, or by Wei Wushang, but certainly not by Yuan Bao.

As for the reason?

To put it simply, she must abide by her husband’s family after marriage.

...

Under the guidance of the palace’s female guards, Yuan Bao quickly arrived at the Imperial Study Room where Emperor Xia was.

And outside the Imperial Study Room, she saw Wei Wushang waiting there.

"...?!"

Seeing Wei Wushang, Yuan Bao was puzzled, not understanding why Wei Wushang would appear outside the Imperial Study Room.

No matter what happened in the palace, Wei Wushang couldn’t have arrived so quickly.

Therefore, Yuan Bao was very curious how Wei Wushang could be here at this time.

Could it be that they had just left, and he followed them into the palace?

However, by the rules, as dusk approached, the palace gates should be locked, and not just anyone could enter!

Perplexed, Yuan Bao entered the Imperial Study Room and met Emperor Xia seated in the chair.

"Yuan Bao pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing Emperor Xia, Yuan Bao respectfully approached and performed a salute.

"No need for formalities, Princess Jiafu!"

"Chen Lian, prepare a seat!"

Emperor Xia gave a meaningful look at Yuan Bao and asked the eunuch next to him to prepare a stool for her.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lian quickly responded and hurriedly fetched a stool.

"Princess Jiafu, please sit!"

Chen Lian brought the stool over and politely placed it beside Yuan Bao.

"Thank you, Chief Chen!"

"Yuan Bao thanks Your Majesty for the seat!"
