C153 Angry Queen (2/2)
As the empress was thinking this, Aunt Yu, who was standing guard outside, walked in. Her expression was extremely ugly. When she looked at Mu Ru Yue, it was as though she had seen something disgusting. She hated Mu Ru Yue to the extreme.
He then walked to the empress and said, ”Esteemed Empress, Princess Yun Rou's wet nurse wishes to seek an audience.”
”Then let her in! Could it be that he had something to talk to Yun Rou about? ”Let's go.” The empress didn't want to stay any longer, so she said unkindly. However, Aunt Yu said, ”The Princess's wet nurse wants to seek justice from you. She says that her son was persecuted and died.”
When the empress heard this, she got even angrier, ”A dead servant still wants me to uphold justice? Did he really think of himself as someone great!? Yun Rou, you take care of it yourself! ” The empress's tone was unpleasant. However, Princess Yun Rou was stunned.
For wasn't the son of her nurse the nail that he had left in the kitchen? Thinking about that, Princess Yun Rou looked at Mu Ru Yue with a strange gaze. So she said to the empress in an aggrieved tone, ”Imperial Mother, Yun Rou's wet nurse has always been very good to Yun Rou, and her child is even more loyal. Now Yun Rou only hopes that the empress can give her a chance to express her feelings on behalf of Yun Rou.”
The empress was already angry to begin with, but seeing Princess Yun Rou act this way, she was absolutely frustrated to the extreme. Yun Rou did not know how to look at her face! Although she was dissatisfied, the relationship between Yun Rou and herself was still quite good. The empress suppressed her anger and said coldly, ”Whatever, since you insist on letting me administer justice, then let them in.” With that, the empress returned to her seat.
Seeing that the Queen had not left, Princess Yun Rou heaved a sigh of relief. She thought to herself, This is going to be a good show.
Aunt Yu also invited people in. However, when this person came in, he was dragging a corpse with him. She was crying as she walked in.
”Ya!” Princess Eleven, who had been watching the show, was startled when she saw this.
The empress was shocked as well, shouting angrily, ”How dare you make a fool out of me! How dare you bring such an unclean thing in and dirty the noble's eyes? ”
The wet nurse knew that she had gone too far in her actions, but thinking of how her son had died so unreasonably, she steeled her heart and knelt on the ground before crying out, ”Empress, please forgive me for my sin. I beg that you give justice to this old servant's son, so this old servant will atone for it with my death.”
This wet nurse was in her fifties to sixties. Her hair was half white and her face that could not be considered old was covered in tears. Her blurry eyes were filled with despair. Furthermore, when she looked in a certain direction, there was an indescribable hatred.
And in that direction, there was no one else but Mu Ru Yue. Mu Ru Yue was puzzled. When she looked at the corpse, her heart skipped a beat. The corner of her mouth twitched as she thought, ”It can't be?” What a coincidence!
”Nanny, you said that your son was killed by someone? ”Who is it?” Seeing that the empress wasn't far from becoming angry, Princess Yun Rou took the initiative to ask this in order to avoid missing out on a good opportunity. She had a look of pity on the heavens, as if she was worrying about a wet nurse.
When the wet nurse heard this, she cried even more miserably, ”Princess, this old servant's son is a chef in the imperial kitchen. Who knew that after cooking today, he would be wrongly accused of poisoning his benefactor? And he died so inexplicably!”
The moment Nanny's words came out, the Queen, who was already on the verge of exploding, immediately came back to her senses. Chef? Died without knowing why? Right now, she was wondering what was going on in the royal kitchen. It seemed like Mu Ru Yue had done something!
Thinking up to here, the empress almost laughed out loud. Wasn't this Mu Ru Yue a little too foolish?
Thinking about this, the Queen frowned, ”Making dishes for your benefactor?” ”If I remember correctly, the ones who went to the imperial kitchens were the ninth princess and the seventh wangfei, right?”
Princess Wuyou was also cursing her bad luck, when she heard Qin Wentian asking about them, she naturally replied, ”It's us.”
”Humph!” Then what's going on? ” The Queen asked in dissatisfaction.
Princess Wuyou looked at Murong Yue, afraid that she had said something wrong that would ruin her plans. Mu Ru Yue replied calmly, ”To reply esteemed Empress, he died because he did something wrong and wanted to kill me and the princess.”
”Nonsense! My son has always been a good boy, and my son's body is not well. It's clear that you were angry because he couldn't cook for you, which was why he did such a vicious thing! I've already asked around, and they've all said, you ate those dishes too, you haven't died yet! ”Why did my son die!?”
