Chapter 121 It Was Not Aunt Xu Who Saved Luo Junhe
Ji Yuntang nodded and took a bite, "Indeed, I like spicy food too."
"However, my taste may be a little different from yours. I don't like oil sauce. I prefer sesame sauce."
As she spoke, she stood up and made a bowl of sesame sauce.
Xie Liuzheng and Luo Qingge looked at each other and pursed their lips at the same time. They still preferred to eat oil dip.
It’s not that the two of them didn’t try the sesame sauce that Ji Yuntang mentioned, but after tasting it, they felt that it tasted weird and didn’t like it.
It has to be said that when it comes to eating, their hobbies coincide.
Xie Liuzheng was sweating profusely while eating the hotpot, but at the same time, the spiciness was very enjoyable.
After he finished eating, he drank a glass of orange juice, then stood up and said, "Princess Ye, it's getting late, and I have to leave now. Thank you for your hospitality today."
Meng Fan also bowed in gratitude, but his eyes were still staring at the hot pot.
It was not in vain to come to the Night Palace tonight. The hot pot was so delicious that he couldn’t get enough of it.
Unfortunately, this thing is very soupy and it seems impossible to pack it up and take it away.
"Thank you, my Lord, for your courtesy. It's not really a treat, after all, you paid the tuition."
"If you want to eat it in the future, just come to the Night King's Mansion again."
What Ji Yuntang didn't say was that Meng Fan also paid the tuition fee of 5,000 taels of silver out of his own pocket.
Therefore, the way she looked at the two of them was as if she were looking at two gods of wealth. How could she not be polite to them?
Xie Liuzheng smiled and said, "With what Princess Ye said, I feel relieved. If Meng Fan and I come to eat for free in the future, you can't drive us out."
Ji Yuntang raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, am I a petty person?"
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Xie Liuzheng took the initiative to ask to go into the house to say goodbye to Luo Junhe, and Ji Yuntang agreed.
Seeing him leave, Luo Qingge quietly pulled Ji Yuntang aside and whispered, "Third sister-in-law, there is already a clue about the brocade bag you asked me to investigate."
Ji Yuntang was delighted and took Luo Qingge to the side room. "Qingge, tell me in detail."
In the side room, the door was closed and Lily of the Valley was guarding outside.
Luo Qingge then took out the exquisite blue brocade bag from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"Third sister-in-law, ever since you came to the palace to tell me about this matter that day, I immediately went to ask my mother. The first time my mother saw it, she was very sure that the brocade bag came from Fengyi Palace."
"The embroidery place in the palace is called the Needle Palace Bureau. Every year, the embroiderers there will customize palace costumes and ready-made clothes for the concubines in various palaces in the harem. The maids and nurses around the concubines, and some people who are slightly favored by them, can also get some specially made clothes, including this sachet."
"After the Queen Mother learned that it was you, Third Sister-in-law, who was investigating this matter, she immediately called all the maids and palace maids in her palace over and interrogated them one by one."
"Finally, guess what?"
Ji Yuntang urged, "Qingge, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now!"
"This sachet belongs to Mother's wet nurse, Madam Shen."
"Madam Shen?" Ji Yuntang frowned, "Qingge, are you sure?"
Luo Qingge insisted, "Yes, Shen Ma is the most trusted person around my mother, and she is also her wet nurse. I have always regarded Shen Ma as a relative."
"To be honest with you, Third Sister-in-law, Nanny Shen has been suffering from insomnia and palpitations for a long time. She can't fall asleep every night, or she wakes up after sleeping for two or three hours. My mother feels sorry for her, so she asked the imperial physician to prescribe some tranquilizers for her. Nanny Shen took out some of each, put them in a sachet, and carried it with her all day."
"On the day the sachet was lost, Nanny Shen was going to the Imperial Pharmacy to get medicine for her mother. When she passed by the back garden, she heard a child in the Dragon Pond calling for help. It snowed so heavily that day that there were no palace servants passing by the back garden. She was afraid that the child would not be able to hold on, so she jumped into the Dragon Pond herself and rescued him."
"After rescuing him, we found out that the person who fell into the water was actually our third brother. He had already passed out at that time. Nanny Shen was extremely anxious and wanted to send him back, but she was worried that no one would take the medicine for our mother and she couldn't get away. At that moment, Nanny Xu from the Queen Mother's side came over."
"After learning the reason, Nanny Xu said that she was quick on her feet and that she would come to send the Third Prince back, and asked Nanny Shen to go back and change clothes and get medicine for the Queen Mother."
"Madame Shen was so grateful that she gave the Third Prince to her without giving it much thought. Before she left, she told Madame Xu that the Third Prince had fallen into the water and was unconscious, and that his life might be in danger. She needed to call the imperial physician immediately, and Madame Xu agreed."
"Fortunately, the third brother was fine. The next day, Queen Mother and Nanny Shen went to visit him in person. However, the third brother had a high fever because he had been in the water for too long. When Queen Mother and Nanny Shen went to see him, he had not woken up. At that time, Queen Mother saw that Concubine Li was also taking care of the third brother. Queen Mother felt relieved and went back with Nanny Shen."
"Third sister-in-law, this is what happened. Why are you suddenly investigating this matter? Is there any secret about this sachet?"
Ji Yuntang narrowed his eyes slightly, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his long white fingertips clenched unconsciously.
"Haha, we were all deceived by Aunt Xu."
If what Luo Qingge said was true, this sachet belonged to Nanny Shen, and the person who jumped into the water to save Luo Junhe eighteen years ago was not Nanny Xu from the beginning to the end.
However, she took the credit for this achievement against her conscience.
He made Luo Junhe mistakenly believe that the person who saved him was Nanny Xu, and treated her as his benefactor. He also asked the Queen Mother to bring Nanny Xu back to the Ye Palace and let her manage the entire palace for him.
This lie has been fabricated for eighteen years.
Luo Junhe did question her at the beginning, but Nanny Xu insisted that the sachet was hers and that she was the one who saved her, so Luo Junhe believed her.
Now that I think about it, this matter was either premeditated, or Aunt Xu was too greedy and had long wanted to take advantage of Luo Junhe's gratitude and guilt towards her to pave the way for herself and Liu Linlang.
After all, as long as she was by the Queen Mother's side, she could only be a slave at the beck and call for her all her life.
In the Night Palace, she is the only one in power and can cover the sky with one hand.
Luo Qingge also reacted at this time. She covered her mouth with one hand, her face full of disbelief.
"Third sister-in-law, you mean that this sachet was lost by the person who rescued Third Brother, then Aunt Xu..."
Too much time has passed and no one has pursued the matter.
But they all knew that Nanny Xu was Luo Junhe's savior.
As for who the lifesaver is, most people actually have no idea.
As for Nanny Shen, she felt from the beginning that saving the Third Prince's life by jumping into the water was not a big deal.
