Xiao Wanning gave her an encouraging look, "Don't worry, Mammy, just tell me the truth!"

Seeing Xiao Wanning's calm eyes, it was difficult for Nanny Zhang to remain calm.

[Could it be that the young master told the Queen everything, and the Queen sent Tian Ruomo to investigate the matter? ]

[It's impossible. The young master knows that Queen Li is so cruel and ruthless. If Queen Li knew that the young master had ulterior motives towards her and wanted revenge, she would kill the young master without any investigation.]

[But now that Tian Ruomo knows about this, it also means that the matter has really been exposed! ]

[Isn't that the master's plan for many years, which came to nothing in one day? 】

The master's plan?

Xiao Wanning and Zhou Boqi both looked at Nanny Zhang in confusion.

Who is this master of Nanny Zhang?

Concubine Yun died a long time ago, how could she have any plans?

Although they didn't know what was going on, they confirmed that what they heard was what Nanny Zhang was thinking.

Seeing that Nanny Zhang had been silent for a long time, Xiao Wanning urged, "Mammy, speak!"

Nanny Zhang swallowed her saliva and said, "If that's the case, I have nothing to worry about. Back then, the master didn't die of illness, but of poisoning."

"I am the most trusted nanny of the master. I saw with my own eyes that Rong Mama, who is now in the Queen's palace, was ordered to bring a bowl of chicken soup to the master. She claimed that she cared about the master's health and asked the master to drink the chicken soup in front of Rong Mama."

"I didn't know the soup was poisonous at the time. I just knew that my master had a strange expression on his face, as if something bad was going to happen."

"She drank the chicken soup slowly, and then Madam Rong went back to report with satisfaction."

"However, as soon as Rong Mama left, the master began to feel unwell and had unbearable abdominal pain. I wanted to call the imperial physician but was stopped by the master. I was so anxious that I almost went crazy."

"Just when I insisted on going to ask for the imperial physician, the master grabbed me and told me everything."

When she said this, tears sparkled in the old lady's cloudy eyes, and her face was filled with grief and indignation.

"She told me that because she was too close to Concubine Hu and was favored by His Majesty, the current Queen became jealous and thought that her master was a traitor. She did not stand on the side of the current Queen, but became good sisters with Concubine Hu instead."

"So, the current queen was furious and wanted my master's life, claiming that if he didn't die, she would kill the young master."

"Master knows the methods of the current queen. There may be other reasons that caused Master to really listen to the words of the current queen and willingly drink the poisonous chicken soup sent by Rong Mama."

"After she finished speaking to the old slave, blood started flowing from all her orifices and she died."

"My master died tragically!"

At this point, the old lady burst into tears.

However, I heard her voice again.

[No one knows that I poisoned that bowl of chicken soup just to help my master get rid of a competitor! ]

[If Concubine Yun had not died, given how much His Majesty loved her, she would have definitely had another child after giving birth to the fourth princess, and it might have been a prince.]

[Although I acted on my own initiative and did not seek the master's consent, the master still helped to deal with the aftermath of Concubine Yun's death. The imperial physician who was sent to perform an autopsy concluded that she died of a sudden hemorrhage and a serious illness.]

The old lady's crying was a little hoarse, her face looked heartbroken and she could hardly breathe.

"My dear, before he died, his eyes were full of red tears and he couldn't see anything. He wanted to hug you very much, but he was afraid of scaring you. In the end, he didn't even get to hug you."

"At that time, she rolled on the ground in pain. In order not to attract attention, she forced herself to endure it and not scream out until the moment she died."

"My young master..."

Nanny Zhang was crying so hard that she almost couldn't breathe. The maid serving beside her quickly patted her back to help her calm down.

[What a pity. The master is a good master. Although he also wants to have a place in the harem, he is too stupid and easily trusts others. ]

[She has ambitions but no cunning at all. She couldn't stand my provocation and broke with the current queen. Instead, she joined forces with my real master to deal with the cousin who brought her into the palace! ]

[If I hadn't found an opportunity to poison her, she would have definitely been killed by the current queen! ]

The room suddenly became quiet!

Xiao Wanning opened her eyes wide and stared at Aunt Zhang with a look of disbelief!

What did she hear?

The one who poisoned her mother was not Queen Li, but the old woman in front of her!

Because the old woman told her that it was Queen Li who sent people to poison her mother, and she also saw with her own eyes that Queen Li scolded her mother in person and told her mother to die.

So, she believed it!

From childhood to adulthood, she grew up by Queen Li's side, carrying her hatred for her.

She truly hated Queen Li to the core. She could always see in her dreams the scene of her mother's tragic death after being poisoned, as described by the old woman.

She treated the old woman as a good person and an elder, ensuring that she had enough food and clothing and lived like an old lady.

Unexpectedly, she was the murderer who killed Concubine Yun!

Her body was trembling slightly and her hands were clenched tightly in anger.

Seeing this, Zhou Boqi, who was standing next to her, quickly grabbed her hand.

Xiao Wanning gritted her teeth and glared at Aunt Zhang, "Mammy, who is your master?"

what?

Just as Nanny Zhang had caught her breath, she heard Xiao Wanning say such a random thing.

She said blankly, "Young Master, what did you say?"

"Isn't this old slave's master your mother, Concubine Yun?"

Xiao Wanning raised her other hand and slapped her in the face, hitting Nanny Zhang with a "slap".

Nanny Zhang looked stunned. What happened?

Why did she get slapped?

Xiao Wanning's eyes flashed with ferocity, and she glared at Aunt Zhang fiercely, "You little slave, you are so bold, you have deceived this princess!"

"You poisoned my mother. You were actually a spy sent by someone else to lurk around my mother!"

Ah!

Aunt Zhang’s mouth opened wide!

Xiao Wanning knew?

How did she know?

damn it!

what's going on?

When she realized what was happening, she immediately showed an expression of grievance, panting and saying, "Young Master, how could this old slave be a spy?"

"I grew up serving you and my young master. My young master, please do not trust the instigation of those with ulterior motives."

"This old slave is innocent!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wanning and Zhou Boqi heard her inner voice again.

[What went wrong that caused the young master to know the truth of that year? ]

[I shouldn't have revealed any flaws. Could it be that Tian Ruomo was behind this? ]

Nanny Zhang looked at Tian Rumo, who was standing aside. She didn't say anything for a long time, but just looked at her quietly with a playful smile.
