Chapter 15
I sat in front of the mirror and let Nanny Li torment me.

Tomorrow is the day to return home, but because of the remoteness of the journey, we have to start today.

That night I thought Duguhan just said that casually, but I didn't expect him to take it to heart.

But my only thought is to escape from this demon.

"Although Madam Nine is thin and weak, she has a good foundation and is a beauty."

Nanny Li took a cushion dipped in pearl powder and patted my face lightly, trying to cover the bruises on it.

However, it doesn't work very well.

That Duguhan was too ruthless.

However, he didn't ask for many tricks.

Perhaps only the people in the palace know the strange things in the palace.

Thinking of this, I looked at Nanny Li.

"Mother Li, how did the eight ladies in front die?"

These words made the old mother's hand holding the hairpin tremble.

The crystal tassels on the top are instantly entangled.

"The old slave doesn't know!"

Nanny Li avoided my gaze and lowered her head to untie the tassel.

But I don't know if it was because of being too nervous or because of old eyesight, but the tassel became tighter and tighter.

Seeing this, I took it over.

Untie it two or three times and insert it into the hair.

"Mother Li, although I have not been in the mansion for a long time, I am not happy with the prince. But after all, I am the only mistress in this mansion. Even though I got married by mistake that night, it has become a reality now. According to the rules of the male master and the female master, According to the rules, all the female relatives and servants in the family are under my control, including you! Is it right?"

"That's natural!" Nanny Li said hastily.

"So as a madam, do I need a reason to execute a servant?" I looked at Nanny Li and said with a smile.

"Even if you are the master, you can convince others with virtue, and rewards and punishments are clear!"

Nanny Li lowered her head and said cautiously.

This answer is spot on.

No, I'm afraid I won't be able to pry her mouth open without some means.

Thinking of this, I got up and walked to the bed.

He picked up the jade pillow on the bed and stroked it gently.

"Mother Li, I heard that this jade pillow is the prince's favorite thing. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it also has the miraculous effect of helping sleep."

"Yes! It was given to the prince by the emperor!"

As soon as Nanny Li finished speaking, I let go of my hand.

Just hearing a 'pop', the jade pillow broke in two instantly when it hit the ground.

Seeing this, Nanny Li's face turned pale.

"Just because you smashed the emperor's gift, is there any reason for me to order someone to deal with you?"

I stared at Nanny Li's eyes, and closed the corners of my mouth.

"Ninth Madam, you are deliberately trying to frame this old slave!"

Nanny Li knelt down with a plop, trying to keep her voice down.

"My lord's temper, I'm afraid Momo knows better than anyone else! If he sees this scene, he will kill you in a fit of rage, and may even anger your family. But if I resist for you, Momo Mammy can save the day. After all, my life is tied to him! It's a big deal, that's all."

"Madam Ninth..."

Nanny Li looked at me, trembling.

"I don't want to kill people, and I don't want to die for no reason! I just hope that in the palace, there is a caring person who can share my worries."

I knelt down and stared at Nanny Li. "The mother also said that I am different from the previous eight ladies, so I have enough reasons to gain a firm foothold in the palace. And if you follow me, you will have a backer."

Seeing Nanny Li's eyes moving back and forth anxiously, I softened my voice. "I'm good, you can be better!"

"Those eight wives all died suddenly!"

After a long silence, Nanny Li raised her head.
