The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Nanny Yue showed a kind look on her old face and comforted her, "Miss, don't say that! Since the master and the mistress have handed you over to me, they trust me. I will do my best to repay the Zhou family..."

Concubine Jia suddenly couldn't help crying...

She had been wandering for many years since she was a child, and had suffered from darkness and wealth. People around her came and went, but only this loyal nanny in front of her had always stayed with her...

A few days later, a rumor began to spread in the palace that the mother of the eldest prince Miao Wuchen, Ning, was killed by Concubine Cao...

And the story became more and more popular, with many details being mentioned with real details!

It is said that the two of them entered the palace together, and Ning became pregnant first, and many imperial doctors said it was a boy.

This made Cao, who was born in the Duke's Mansion, unhappy. If she let Ning snatch the eldest son from her husband, wouldn't she have no hope of turning things around in this life?

The Cao family is still counting on her to give birth to their first son!

If we have the first prince, it will be easy to find a way to make him a royal concubine or even a queen.

Under such circumstances, Cao bribed the midwife who delivered Ning's baby and sent her and her child away on the day of Ning's delivery...

Who would have thought that later the emperor went to Yuxia Palace? The midwives did not dare to kill the eldest son in front of the emperor, so the fetus survived.

But Ning died of complications during childbirth.

Of course, this news now reached the ears of Concubine Cao, who was greatly shocked and immediately ordered a thorough investigation!

However, after much investigation, no one was able to find out where the news came from, and in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

But the emperor soon heard about this, and remembered that his eldest son had developed a distorted personality in adulthood because he lacked maternal love and care since childhood. As a result, he fell in love with Concubine Jia, who was a few years older than him, and committed a serious mistake that was against human ethics. Therefore, he ordered the Shadow Guards to investigate the matter carefully.

But after three days, there was still no progress.

The palace maids and eunuchs said that one morning, the palace gate was scattered with white paper, which detailed what happened that year and pointed out the names of several midwives who participated in the murder of Concubine Ning. Some of them retired and returned to their hometowns, some died of illness, and in the end only one was left in the palace, she was the nanny of Luoxia Palace, named Gui Min.

The Shadow Guard immediately reported the matter to the emperor. Miao Zhenting ordered someone to bring Nanny Gui, saying that he would interrogate her personally.

The next day.

In Han Xiao Palace, Nanny Gui was brought to the front of the palace by the guards. The eunuchs brought her before the emperor and ordered, "Pay tribute to His Majesty!"

Miao Zhenting looked at the old woman in her sixties in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Were you the one who delivered the baby for Concubine Ning?"

Nanny Gui lowered her head and asked, "Your Majesty, it is this servant."

The emperor asked in a deep voice: "Then I want to ask you, did you do anything during the delivery process?"

Nanny Gui said, "Your Majesty, no! Concubine Ning is gentle and beautiful, and everyone in the palace likes her very much. How could we servants have such vicious thoughts..."

The emperor frowned and said, "Then her pregnancy was stable before, and there were no signs of dystocia. How could she suddenly have dystocia on the day of delivery?"

"Your Majesty, although Concubine Ning had a slim figure and everything was normal, giving birth is a mysterious thing... Besides, this was her first child, so it was understandable that she had a difficult labor. Although we tried our best, she still died of postpartum hemorrhage! We are very sad..."

As Aunt Gui spoke, she couldn't help shedding tears and wiped them with her sleeves...

Qin Ruihai, who was sharp-eyed at the side, suddenly noticed that her eyes were looking at a eunuch opposite from time to time, which made him feel suspicious. He turned around and saw that the eunuch was staring at Nanny Gui with a threatening look!

Qin Ruihai took a closer look and found that the eunuch looked very unfamiliar. He couldn't help but become suspicious and walked over to ask, "Which room are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The eunuch lowered his head and put his hands down by his side and said, "In reply to Eunuch Qin, I am from the Imperial Study. Eunuch Luo is not feeling well today, so I am here to take his place!"

Miao Zhenting frowned and said, "Qin Ruihai, what are you talking about there?"

Qin Ruihai turned around and said, "Your Majesty, this person looks unfamiliar to me and I don't know how he got in, so I came here to ask!"

Miao Zhenting waved his hand and said, "Hey, I'm just a servant! There are so many people in this palace, I can't guarantee that I can call everyone's name!"

Qin Ruihai said, "Your Majesty, this person has been winking at Madam Gui just now! When you ask questions, Madam Gui will secretly look over here before answering, so I suspect there is something wrong!"

Miao Zhenting's face changed after hearing this, and he immediately asked the eunuch, "What's your name?"

The eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Wang Shouchun. I was originally a eunuch on duty in the Imperial Study. Since I don't usually work, Eunuch Qin doesn't recognize me. This is actually a very normal thing."

Qin Ruihai suddenly said, "I remember now! Have you ever worked in Rongxi Palace?"

The eunuch's eyes flickered as he said, "Eunuch Qin, did you remember it wrong? I have always been in the Imperial Study, but it is normal for you not to remember such insignificant people as us."

Qin Ruihai looked at Aunt Gui and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Aunt Gui said, "I don't know him."

"Then why were you looking at him just now?"

Nanny Gui whispered, "Your Excellency may have seen it wrong. I didn't look at him..."

Miao Zhenting suddenly said, "Come here! Take these two away and interrogate them!"

"Yes!"

Several guards came in, dragged the two men out.

After a cup of tea, the guard came in and said, "Your Majesty, Nanny Gui confessed. She said someone found her in private and promised her that if she didn't tell the story, she would be rewarded with 500 taels of silver. Otherwise, she would be sent to accompany the other midwives..."

Miao Zhenting was shocked and angrily asked, "Sure enough, this happened! Did the eunuch confess?"

The guard lowered his head and said, "No..."

Miao Zhenting frowned and said, "No? Could it be that he was really wronged?"

Qin Ruihai said hesitantly, "No way... I did see Aunt Gui looking at him. There must be something wrong between these two!"

The guard said: "Your Majesty, there is really no way to deal with the eunuch Wang Shouchun, because he is already dead..."

Miao Zhenting was somewhat surprised and asked, "Dead?"

The guard said, "Yes."

The emperor frowned and asked, "Did you guys hit him too hard and he couldn't bear the punishment?"

The guard said: "No, Wang Shouchun hid a Zhulandan in his sleeve in advance, and secretly took it when he was taken away. Then, before the execution, he suddenly died..."
