Zi'an was filled with sorrow. After they talked for a while, Zi'an called Wanhui in to bid farewell to the Queen.
Wanhui came in as she was told and knelt down before the Queen to take her leave.
The Queen was intrigued by what she said, so she asked, "Your name is Wanhui, right?"
Wan Hui lowered her head and said, "In reply to the Queen, my name is Wan Hui."
"Take off your veil and let me see it!" said the Queen.
Wanhui hesitated for a moment and looked at Zi'an.
Zi'an nodded and said, "Just let the Queen take a look."
Wanhui slowly untied her veil, revealing a beautiful face.
The charming phoenix eyes are full of endless charm, the fair skin is as smooth as a baby's, and the whole face, although not absolutely perfect, makes people feel an urge to love it.
Wanhui's makeup today was done by Zi'an himself.
She knew very well that Buddha relies on gold and people rely on disguise. Wanhui's features were beautiful, but they were inferior to Sun Fang'er. If she compared her appearance with Sun Fang'er, she would definitely lose.
But when men look at women, they don't just look at their appearance, they also look at their figure and style.
In particular, if a woman's charm and demeanor are outstanding, it will surpass the shock brought by her appearance.
Wanhui was seen kneeling on the ground, her eyes full of color, her red lips delicate but not too intense, her eyelashes drooping, her silhouette beautiful and charming, and her fallen horse bun adding a bit of laziness.
The queen nodded slightly, "It is indeed a good color."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" Wanhui seemed a little shy, and her fair face turned red, making her even more lovable.
Naturally, the Queen did not accept Wanhui immediately.
However, not long after Zi'an left the palace, someone from the Hu family's eldest house stormed into the palace, saying that Hu Huanxi wanted to expand his business, and that apart from living expenses, no profit dividends would be distributed during the year.
Madam Hu wanted the Queen to deal with Hu Huanxi, but the Queen knew that even though she was the mother of a country, she could not use her status to suppress Hu Huanxi and change the business policy of Dingfenghao.
But without financial support, and her appearance was not particularly outstanding, how could she keep the emperor
She thought of Wanhui!
She ordered the head maid Hua Duan to go to the palace and said that she wanted to bring Miss Wanhui into the palace to stay for a few days.
At the same time, a new wave of transfers began among the servants in the palace.
This time, Nanny Sun and several new maids were promoted to serve in the house.
Nanny Yang called them to the yard, and the princess wanted to give them a lecture.
The people below lined up in a row, standing with their hands hanging down.
Zi'an sat on a chair in front of the corridor, holding a cup of tea in his hand, with a calm expression, "You have been in the mansion for a while. This time I promoted you to serve by my side. First, after observing you for these days, I found that you are indeed reliable and efficient. Second, I have not been in good health recently, and I always need someone around me. Nanny Yang has to take care of the affairs in the mansion and can't take care of the house. Xiaosun alone is really too busy. From now on, three people will be arranged during the day and three people will be on guard at night. It will be a shift of seven days. When it is time to change shifts, Xiaosun and Nanny Sun will take over. Since you are serving in the house, there are some rules. Nanny Yang will explain them to you clearly. It is better to say ugly things in advance than to settle accounts later. Just listen carefully."
"Yes!" everyone responded.
Madam Yang stood on the stone steps, her eyes swept over everyone sharply. Her voice was not gentle, but very cold and stern. "I am an old woman who came from the palace. The rules under my command are very strict, especially when serving in the house. I have asked someone to write down the rules. I will ask Wanjing to read them to you later. You must listen carefully and remember them well."
"Yes!" everyone responded again.
When Wanjing came over to read out the rules, Zi'an sat in a chair, quietly watching the changes on everyone's faces.
There was a hint of satisfaction in Nanny Sun's eyes, but she concealed it very well. After all, she was someone who came from the palace, had experienced a lot, and was very worldly-wise.
Zi'an must first find out the person who drugged her. If this person is not found, she will not be able to sleep or eat.
She initially concluded that the girl was being instigated by someone, and the person who instigated her should be Nanny Sun. Lingli had already verified this and heard the conversation between the girl and Nanny Sun.
There is no point in arresting that girl. The first thing to do is to capture Nanny Sun and find out who is behind this.
The medicine in the sachet needs to be replaced every few days, so she doesn't need to wait too long.
After the new people came, Zi'an almost exclusively relied on them to serve him, while Xiaosun and the nanny were busy with other matters in the mansion.
Lingli didn't know where she went.
Zi'an had exposed himself completely.
When it came time to change the sachet, Zi'an sent the girl away on the grounds that she was incompetent.
Then, Nanny Sun would have no time to find someone else and would have to do it herself.
This afternoon, Zi'an discovered that the sachet he had placed in the cabinet was missing.
Then, tonight, Nanny Sun will definitely take action.
Sure enough, when she said she wanted to take a bath tonight, Nanny Sun sent the other maids out to do other things, and she helped Zi'an take a bath herself.
A pair of black eyes appeared on the beam, staring at everything below.
Zian closed his eyes in the bathtub, enjoying the warm water.
There is an unprecedented peace in my mind.
Don't think about anything.
There was a rustling sound outside, and she knew it was Nanny Sun looking through her things.
There was no one else in the room, and she was behind the screen, so she couldn't see anything.
A silver needle cut through the air.
Just as Nanny Sun screamed in pain, someone jumped down from the beam, grabbed her wrist and pushed her behind the screen.
Zi'an slowly opened his eyes in the steaming water, and the water vapor made his eyebrows and eyelashes wet.
She rubbed her face and looked at Nanny Sun with a smile.
A trace of panic flashed across Nanny Sun's eyes, but she immediately calmed down because she had not had time to change.
"Is it her?" Zi'an spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse.
"It was her. She saw it with her own eyes and caught it with her own hands." Lingli said coldly.
"Well, first take care of the sachet and tie up the person."
"Princess, I don't understand what you mean. Please explain it to me!" Nanny Sun said firmly.
Lingli sneered and pulled out a new sachet from her sleeve pocket. It was indeed too late to change it, but this sachet was already filled with Ecstasy Powder and Datura petals. What she had to do next was to pour the medicine in Zi'an's original sachet into this sachet to press down the things underneath.
"This sachet is not mine. Even if you present it to the Empress Dowager, I will not acknowledge it." Nanny Sun calmed down and did nothing.
"Don't worry, I won't send you to the palace." Zi'an smiled evilly, "Since the Queen Mother has handed you over to me, I can deal with you."
Nanny Sun said anxiously, "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. Princess, if you deal with this old slave alone, the Queen Mother will not let it go. You're slapping her in the face."
Zi'an tilted his head and thought for a moment, then smiled brightly, "Yes, you are right. After all, he is from the palace, so we cannot interrogate him privately."
Nanny Sun breathed a sigh of relief, but then she heard Zi'an say, "Lingli, ask someone to go to the princess's mansion and invite the princess over."
