Nanny Yang was so angry that she almost fainted. She had been in the palace for many years and had always been highly respected. She had never been bullied like this. She immediately threw out the Queen's handwritten letter from her sleeve and shouted, "Send the handwritten letter to your Prime Minister immediately. If you delay the Queen's business, your Prime Minister will lose a hundred heads."
Xia Quan still smiled contemptuously, picked up the handwritten note from the ground, and said coldly: "Okay, I'll send it to the Prime Minister right away, let's see who drops it first..."
He unfolded it and saw the Queen's seal. His expression suddenly changed and he immediately ordered his thugs, "Quick, let her go!"
The thug let go of Nanny Yang and looked at Xia Quan with some confusion.
Xia Quan was so frightened that his face turned pale. He asked tentatively, "May I ask who you are?"
Madam Yang gritted her teeth, reached out her hand and stroked the face that he had just hit, and said coldly: "I am Madam Yang, a female official beside the Queen. I have met your old lady several times. Can you please come out and say a few words to your old lady?"
Xia Quan's heart sank. This was bad. If he beat up the people around the queen, he would probably not be able to quell this storm.
He hurriedly said, "Please ask Madam to go to the side hall and serve you well."
After saying this, he bowed and said, "Madam, please calm down. I will go and inform the old lady and the prime minister right away."
The old lady and Prime Minister Xia were still in the main hall, discussing the matter.
Seeing Xia Quan walking quickly towards him, Prime Minister Xia asked, "Did you drive him away?"
Xia Quan handed over the imperial edict with a pale face, "Prime Minister, it seems that she is really the lady-in-waiting of the Queen."
The old lady jumped up in surprise, "What?"
"Madam, she said she was Nanny Yang, and she also said she knew you." Xia Quan said fearfully.
The old lady fell down on the chair, "Madame Yang? Oh my god, she is really someone close to the Queen."
Prime Minister Xia also read the imperial edict and asked solemnly, "What should we do now?"
Before the old lady could answer, a servant came in quickly, "Old lady, sir, the young lady has gone mad and even threw the lady to the ground."
The old lady's eyes widened suddenly. "What? The poison hasn't taken effect on her yet?"
It's impossible. Even if the amount of poison was reduced, he could only last a little longer at most. He should have died from the poison by now.
Prime Minister Xia no longer cared about his concubine and asked the old lady, "Mother, the Regent sent someone to summon her, and now the Queen has sent someone to summon her again. What do you think the problem is?"
The old lady also seemed a little confused. If the queen sent someone to come, it was probably just to get news of her death.
But the Regent and the Queen were at odds, so why did he order someone to summon her? And he even specifically sent her to the palace.
"Come on, bring the eldest lady up!" The old lady felt that when Zi'an was brought into the palace, something must have happened. She was too careless and did not understand it clearly.
Zi'an was dragged up with blood all over his face. She tried to subdue Madam Linglong at first, but she was out of strength. Moreover, she couldn't use the Soul-Snatching Ring too much because if the Queen sent someone to tell her that she would have to use the Soul-Snatching Ring after entering the palace.
The Soul-Snatching Ring still has a lot of power, but she cannot take any risks and must ensure that entering the palace is safe.
So, in the end, he was dragged away by the servants and beaten up. Xiaosun was beaten badly. When Zi'an was dragged away, Xiaosun also fainted.
Seeing Zi'an's face covered in blood, the old lady didn't care about anything else and asked sternly, "Tell me, what did the Empress say to you when she entered the palace that day?"
When Zi'an heard this question, he relaxed and collapsed to the ground. She laughed, and her laugh was extremely presumptuous and sarcastic, which made Prime Minister Xia angry and stepped on Zi'an's abdomen, angrily saying: "Rebellious girl, what are you laughing at? Answer me now!"
Nanny Yang got so anxious that she ignored the servants' obstruction and went to the main hall. She just happened to see Prime Minister Xia stepping on Xia Zian on the ground. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my God, Prime Minister, that's your biological daughter."
Blood-red liquid flowed from the corners of Zi'an's eyes. She saw Yang Ma's face through the scarlet sky. She breathed a long sigh of relief, her head sank weakly, and she raised her hand slightly to her chest, using the Soul Ring to inject some power into her heart.
The electric shock from the Soul-Snatching Ring can allow her to stay awake for a short period of time and gather the energy in her body. This method is equivalent to pre-drawing physical strength, but she has no choice but to do this.
When Prime Minister Xia saw Nanny Yang coming, he moved his feet away awkwardly, and was a little at a loss as to what to do.
The old lady was worldly-wise. She stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Madam Yang, it's been a long time since we last met. I'm glad you still thought of coming to visit me."
Nanny Yang entered, glanced at the old lady, and said indifferently: "I don't deserve it. It's not easy to enter the gate of the prime minister's mansion. You will be slapped before entering."
After saying that, he glanced at Xia Quan with a very cold look in his eyes.
Xia Quan was so frightened that he lowered his head and dared not speak.
The old lady was startled. "What do you mean? Is there anyone who dares to neglect Madam?"
After that, she shouted, "Xia Quan, what's going on?"
Xia Quan knelt down with a plop. "Please forgive me, Madam. Please forgive me, Madam. I am ignorant. I didn't recognize the real man. I thought he was just a fool."
Madam Yang waved her hands, "Alright, I won't argue with you. The Queen asked me to come out to summon Xia Zian to the palace."
She took a look at Xia Zian's current condition, frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why is his face covered in blood? How can he enter the palace to see the Queen in this state?"
The old lady felt uneasy when she saw that Nanny Yang didn't give her any face. She pulled Nanny Yang over and stuffed a banknote into her sleeve pocket. "Please bear with me, bear with me. I wonder why the Queen summoned her to the palace?"
Nanny Yang understood what she meant, put the banknote away, and softened her tone, "The Queen wants to summon her, it must be something important."
She leaned over and asked Zi'an, "Can you insist on entering the palace?"
Zi'an wiped the blood off his face and said, "Reply to Madam, yes!"
"Okay, the carriage is waiting at the entrance of the alley." said Nanny Yang.
Zi'an struggled to stand up, and Nanny Yang actually reached out to help her up. Zi'an whispered, "Thank you, Nanny!"
When Nanny Yang saw the wounds on her face and head up close, even though she was used to seeing all kinds of cruelty in the palace, she still felt a chill in her heart, because the people who attacked her were all her closest relatives.
So, Nanny Yang was just trying to support her at first, but in the end she supported her body and said, "Let's go!"
Zi'an said, "Wait a minute!"
She turned around, looked at the old lady, and said, "Old lady, my granddaughter's maid Xiaosun had an accident and fainted. I beg you to send her back to rest. I will be grateful!"
The old lady said calmly: "Go, grandma will take care of her."
"Thank you, Madam!" Zi'an was relieved and allowed Nanny Yang to help him out.
When they reached the door, Nanny Yang looked at Zi'an strangely. She couldn't even take care of herself, so how could she still take care of a servant
Nanny Yang was born a servant and was used to being looked down upon when she was young. She has just climbed to this position now. She always has insincere respect for her master who loves his servants. Therefore, she has changed her mind about Zi'an.
