Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

Several people came to the back hall. The four of them seemed very crowded in this small room.

Gu Qingzhi noticed that Feng Zhanye seemed to be in a bad mood, so she squeezed his cold little hand tightly and helped him sit on the chair.

"Madam Liu, how could you..."

Feng Zhanye was calmed down and gradually recovered from his trance. He looked at the old woman in confusion, as if he couldn't believe her appearance.

The old woman finally got to see the child she had nursed. With tears in her eyes, she knelt down and kowtowed silently to Feng Zhanye.

"I deserve to die. I shouldn't have abandoned you when you were so young. However, Concubine Hui ordered me to pretend to be seriously ill and wait for the next day."

"Mother? Why would she do this?" Hearing this answer, Feng Zhanye widened his eyes and asked in confusion.

"Empress Huifei has made preparations for a rainy day. The people in this palace are more cunning than anything else. The deaths around you are not necessarily due to evil spirits. She anticipated that one day you would be alone, so she took this desperate measure. But she didn't expect that this day would come so soon."

Madam Liu raised her head, the fierceness in her eyes was gone, she looked at the frail child in front of her with pity, and continued:

"After leaving the palace, I have been working for the Lin family, the mother's family. Although I am a little clumsy, I still know some things about the palace. I also heard that you went to His Majesty to plead for the queen a few days ago."

Hearing this, Feng Zhanye laughed at himself and said, "It's just that my father didn't pay any attention to me. The queen said that it was because of my evil spirit that my mother made such a big mistake. But the maid who poisoned the seventh prince to death was clearly given to my mother by her!"

The other three people present were all stunned and looked at him at the same time.

Gu Qingzhi was even more surprised, and then felt a chill.

In her previous life, she had inquired about Prince Duan a lot before assassinating him, and she remembered very clearly that Concubine Hui killed the Seventh Prince.

Because she was jealous of the emperor's neglect of her and the third prince, Concubine Hui gradually went mad. She poisoned the infant Seventh Prince to death and was imprisoned in the cold palace.

This matter was not learned from Zuo Fuhong, but she found out about it herself. She had never doubted the authenticity of the matter, but in Feng Zhanye's mouth it turned into a frame-up!

Nanny Liu was the first to react. She shook her head gently at Feng Zhanye, signaling him not to continue, and then looked at Gu Qingzhi and Wu Fang.

Feng Zhanye understood what she meant. He glanced at Wu Fang and Gu Qingzhi, and then remembered Aunt Qiruo's warning yesterday. He was afraid that the conversation might be overheard by someone with ulterior motives, so he said, "You two should go out first."

After watching the two men walk out of the back hall and close the door, the master and servant continued their conversation.

"Your Highness, the Lin family asked me to bring you a message. They already know what happened to you and the queen. But His Majesty is still angry. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get him to take back his decision."

Feng Zhan Ye was not surprised by what Nanny Liu said, but he had been staying here for the past few days with a hope in his heart. Now that it had been dashed, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, so he lowered his eyes slightly.

Nanny Liu held the boy's gauze-wrapped hands tenderly, her eyes filled with heartache.

"I know you are trapped in this courtyard, and you must be feeling bad. But please be patient for a while. Your Majesty and you are the future of the Lin family. They will try their best to help you out."

Feng Zhanye looked up at the old woman and nodded: "For my mother, I am willing to do anything."

In order to comfort him, Aunt Liu forced a smile and said, "Good boy, don't be sad. Even if everyone betrays you, don't you still have an old woman like me to accompany you?"

Feng Zhanye was moved by her emotions, put aside his heavy mood, and held her hand back.

After the master and servant finished talking, they walked out from the back hall. Although Gu Qingzhi didn't mean to listen, she roughly understood the content of the conversation.

Although she really wanted to know what was going on, she also knew her limits. It was not appropriate to speak in such a situation, so she just turned around and waited silently.

"I'm glad that Madam is here, but the villa is shabby and I'm under someone else's control now, so I'm afraid it will be hard for you." Feng Zhanye looked normal when he came out, and he looked at the old woman with gratitude.

Madam Liu shook her head: "You and I are master and servant, there is no need to worry about these things. Since I am here, I will take good care of you."

"Then I will go down and clean up first." Madam Liu bowed respectfully.

"Hey! That's just right. Guard Gu, you should go back and rest as well. It's time to change shifts."

Wu Fang looked at Feng Zhanye with a smile, but didn't expect to be given a cold glance by him.

"I will come back to look after Your Highness later." Gu Qingzhi said hello and prepared to leave.

As soon as Gu Qingzhi walked out of the house, she met Aunt Liu's eyes. With many years of experience in assassination, Gu Qingzhi felt that the person was not friendly.

A slave who could survive in the palace must have a complicated mind. In her eyes, Gu Qingzhi felt as if ants were crawling all over her body, and all her secrets were exposed.

Just when she thought that the stern maid was going to attack her, a smile appeared in her shrewd eyes: "Little guard, I'm new here and I'm not familiar with this place. Could you please show me the way?"

Gu Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she was overthinking.

"Mammy, come with me."

The two walked side by side on the corridor. Gu Qingzhi was a talkative person to begin with, and when she met this nanny who could see through people's minds, she didn't know what to say, so she just remained silent all the way.

Although Aunt Liu was old, her words and actions were graceful and appropriate. She didn't seem to be in a hurry and walked slowly and upright.

"Little guard, how long have you been here?" Madam Liu asked with a smile and in a very natural tone.

"Today is the third day." Gu Qingzhi didn't think that the old man was in the mood to chat, so she answered honestly.

"I can see that our Third Prince still trusts you very much. I have never seen a servant so close to him."

As soon as these words came out, that kind smiling face instantly became less friendly in Gu Qingzhi's eyes. She knew that this old lady had no good intentions.

"Perhaps Your Highness is kind and doesn't want the evil spirit to affect others." Gu Qingzhi followed the principle of avoiding if possible and did not respond to her directly.

When Aunt Liu heard this answer, she smiled: "Everyone else says that the Third Prince is a living devil, and whoever he touches will die. Only you can see that he has a kind heart."

As if she was feeling emotional, Aunt Liu stopped and looked at Gu Qingzhi seriously and asked, "Do you really believe that evil spirits can kill people?"

"I only believe in myself." Gu Qingzhi said firmly.

"Perhaps, I should remind you to be careful about your life, or be careful of ghosts." Aunt Liu looked at her meaningfully.

Gu Qingzhi listened to these ambiguous words and didn't know how to understand them.

"But I still have to thank you. It is thanks to you that I was able to come in today. I hope you will bear with me in the future." Nanny Liu smiled kindly again.

"Madam, just tell me if you have anything to say." Gu Qingzhi relaxed when she saw her like this.

When they reached the courtyard where the servants and maids lived, they heard the voices of two women coming from the courtyard.

"I just went out for a walk, and an old lady came to the mansion. It seemed that she came specifically for that little evil star."

Gu Qingzhi was very familiar with this voice; it was Xianmei who had ridiculed her yesterday.

"Maybe he's too old to be true. Who knows what kind of luck that little bad guy had? He didn't die after entering here, but instead got a few lackeys."

Xianman added fuel to the fire and laughed as sweet as a silver bell, and the others also echoed her.

This place can be regarded as the farthest place from the back hall where Feng Zhanye lives. No wonder these servants are nowhere to be seen in the yard. It turns out that they have hidden here.

Aunt Liu listened to those dirty words expressionlessly, turned around and asked Gu Qingzhi: "Little guard, who are these people?"

Gu Qingzhi told her everything that happened yesterday.

She had tried her best to be tactful, and even completely ignored the part where Xianmei and Xianman mocked her and Feng Zhanye, but Nanny Liu's face grew darker as she listened.

She looked at Gu Qingzhi, who was standing straight, and a sneer appeared on her face.

"Little guard, would you be willing to do me a favor?"
