Chapter 754 Tribulus
Ling'er's face turned ashen with hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, "Mammy, no wonder Her Royal Highness had an accident. Look at the road in your princess's mansion. Why are there thorns on the road? I'm afraid the soles of my feet are about to be pricked. It hurts so much!"
Nanny Chen spoke in a gloomy voice, "Oh, I'm so sorry. The servant sweeping the yard must have been lazy. It seems Miss Ling'er can't walk anymore. Her Royal Highness's medicine is the most important thing. Why don't you give it to me and I'll help deliver it?"
What else could Ling'er do? She could only helplessly urge: "Hurry up, don't delay, especially don't let the herbs touch the ice, otherwise, they will lose all their efficacy!"
A complex expression flashed across Nanny Chen's eyes, but after a moment she smiled ingratiatingly.
She said respectfully, "Miss Ling'er, are you still worried about me? I am a loyal servant of Her Royal Highness the Princess. I have been guarding the Princess's residence since the time when the Prince Consort was here!"
Ling'er nodded. "Of course I believe you, Madam. However, this is a serious matter, and the herbs are extremely precious. My wife went through so much trouble to find them. More importantly, they must protect the unborn child in Her Royal Highness's belly, so there can't be any mistakes. I still need to give you instructions!"
Nanny Chen assured her solemnly, "I understand. I will definitely hand the herbs to Miss Lin intact!"
She turned around and left quickly, heading straight for the inner courtyard of the princess's mansion.
But after she was out of Ling'er's sight, she quickly turned around and went to her own yard.
With an anxious look on her face, she ordered the gatekeeper, "Hurry up and buy some ice. Don't delay for a moment. Find the nearest ice shop. Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
The servant asked doubtfully, "Mammy, if you need ice, just go to the storehouse and get it. With your status, can't you get it?"
Of course Nanny Chen could get it, but she would never dare to use the ice from the princess's mansion.
If the herbs don't work, won't it be her fault?
She couldn't make such a stupid mistake!
She scolded impatiently: "I told you to go out and buy it, so go ahead. If you dare to say anything more, I will immediately sell you out of the princess's mansion!"
The servant knew that Nanny Chen had considerable power in the princess's mansion, so he did not dare to contradict her again.
He didn't hesitate any longer and left the house immediately.
Looking at his back, a vicious look flashed across Nanny Chen's face.
She murmured softly, "Your Highness, how could you do such a thing to let your husband down? It's fine if you can't stand the loneliness, and I'll turn a blind eye and not make a fuss about it. But you shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't, want a child. Where do you put your husband?"
She held the box tightly in her hand, with no trace of concealment in the ferocity in her eyes.
Fortunately, the servant was quick and came back with a piece of ice in a short while.
Nanny Chen immediately snatched it away and threw the herb box in.
At this critical moment, Ling'er, who was supposed to be helped to the warm room, suddenly appeared in front of her.
She grabbed her hand and asked, "Madame Chen, what are you doing?"
Nanny Chen was so frightened that her whole body shuddered. She stammered, "I, I, I didn't do anything!"
Ling'er couldn't help but sneer: "Didn't I tell you that this is the medicine that Her Royal Highness uses to protect the fetus, and it can't touch ice under any circumstances? Why did you put it in there? What are your intentions?"
Nanny Chen was speechless. At the critical moment, she could only bravely defend herself to save her life.
She quickly pulled out a sharp dagger from her sleeve, raised her hand and stabbed Ling'er's throat fiercely.
Ling'er was prepared. She grabbed her wrist and slammed it against the wall with a bang.
"Crack!" After a series of loud crisp sounds, Nanny Chen let out a shrill and terrifying scream.
The servant was also frightened out of his wits. He never expected that the chubby little maidservant in the mansion of Marquis Zhan Yi had such ability.
She is so strong!
He actually managed to break Nanny Chen's wrist.
He knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "It was all Nanny Chen's fault. She urged me to go out of the house to buy ice, and she said that if I didn't obey, she would kick me out of the princess's house!"
Ling'er said calmly: "Take your ice and go to the princess to testify against her!"
Nanny Chen had a broken wrist and was in so much pain that she couldn't stand.
She pleaded sadly, "Miss Ling'er, please let me go this time. I will never forget your kindness!"
Seeing that Ling'er was unmoved, she continued, "By the way, I've been in the Princess's Mansion for so many years and have saved up a lot of gold and silver. If you're willing to let me go, I'll give you all of those things!"
Ling'er couldn't help but interrupt: "Do you think I look like someone who is short of money?"
Nanny Chen was immediately discouraged, she was afraid that she would not survive this time.
How can this be good?
Who would have thought that when she was panicking, Ling'er said, "Even if I don't lack money, who would bite their hand if they give it back? Since you want to give it to me, I have to accept it!"
Nanny Chen's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Miss Ling'er!"
She quickly used her remaining intact wrist to find a black box and said, "Here are the gold, silver, and valuables I've saved in the Princess's Mansion over the years. If you're willing to let me go, I'll give them all to you now!"
Ling'er pouted angrily at the servant standing nearby: "What about him? He saw me accepting the gift. It will be hard to explain to the princess!"
The servant was so frightened that he started to cry. He turned his face away and said, "I'm blind. I didn't see anything!"
Nanny Chen was even more ruthless. She said darkly, "Only the dead can keep secrets. I'm going to kill him now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to grab the sharp dagger that had just fallen to the ground.
Ling'er kicked it far away, leaving Nanny Chen with an opportunity to grab the ball.
She asked in disbelief: "Miss Ling'er, why are you trying to stop me?"
Ling'er replied with a smile: "Because I want to take your gold and silver jewelry, and I also want to send you to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Nanny Chen angrily cursed: "You are despicable and shameless!"
Ling'er kicked her to the ground, mocking her and scolding her, "No matter how despicable and shameless I am, I have never murdered my own master. Yet, you even dared to destroy the life-saving medicine for Her Highness the Princess. Are you still human?"
Nanny Chen's eyes were full of ferocity, but she was unable to escape.
Ling'er brought her to the front of ***, only to see that Lin Yiwan had also arrived.
She quickly stepped forward to report, "Your Highness, I personally witnessed Nanny Chen attempting to destroy the abortion-protecting medicine with ice, and I've brought back evidence of the person who bought the ice. Please make your decision!"
*** was both angry and furious. She never expected that it was actually Nanny Chen.
When Wanwan was skeptical at first, she thought it was impossible.
Now that the evidence is conclusive, she just wants to kill Nanny Chen with her sharp gaze.
She demanded in a hoarse voice, "Why? This princess has treated you well, always letting you guard the outer courtyard. Even when you accepted favors from visiting guests, I turned a blind eye and condoned it, just because you were an old servant. But why are you so ungrateful and even harbor the intention of harming your master?"
