Chapter 359 Don't Be Sad
Niuniu immediately realized that she seemed to have done something wrong: "I'm sorry, Madam Sun, I didn't know that we couldn't enter here either. I thought only the small Buddhist hall was off limits."

The Queen Mother immediately blocked her view and said, "Well, few people know that the small Buddhist temple is connected to this place. How old is she? What can she know? Why are you so harsh on her?"

Nanny Sun lowered her head.

Niu Niu didn't notice the strange atmosphere between the two of them, but seeing that the Queen Mother didn't seem angry, she felt relieved.

The Queen Mother said to Niuniu, "My dear, just remember this in the future: you can't come here either."

Niuniu nodded obediently, but couldn't help but ask curiously: "Grandma Queen Mother, why is there a guqin here?"

The Queen Mother's eyes slowly fell on the dust-free guqin, with a trace of sadness between her brows. After a long time, so long that Niuniu thought she would not answer, she said: "I don't want to see this guqin, but I don't want to throw it away. I want to take a look at it from time to time."

Nanny Sun looked at her with concern.

Niu Niu is so young that she cannot understand the complex emotions of adults. Her brows are furrowed, as if she is facing some century-old problem.

The queen mother was filled with sorrow, but after seeing the little girl like this, she couldn't help but smile slightly. She reached out and patted her head gently, and asked, "Do you like this guqin? If you want it, grandma will give it to you."

Niu Niu nodded and then shook her head.

Facing the empress dowager's puzzled look, Niuniu explained: "I want to learn to play the piano, but I don't want this piano."

The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this.

Niuniu hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to speak: "Grandma Queen Mother, the fact that you are reluctant to throw it away shows that you still have feelings for it."

The little girl added: "After all, the things I threw away were things I didn't like at all and I would never even look at them again."

The Queen Mother stared at the zither in a daze. After a long while, she said to Nanny Sun, "Put this zither away carefully."

Nanny Sun's lips trembled, and she suppressed the questions she wanted to ask in her heart, and walked forward to put away the guqin.

But as soon as she picked it up, she frowned and said, "Empress Dowager, this zither..."

The Queen Mother and Niu Niu looked over in the direction she spoke.

No one had looked closely at it before, but now they discovered that the side of the piano had been scratched, looking like a child's graffiti.

The Queen Mother thought she had calmed down, but when she saw the piano in such a state, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

Nanny Sun quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, this side room has always been cleaned by me personally. I just wiped this zither two days ago and it was in good condition then."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Get up first. You have served me for so long, do you think I would doubt you?"

After Nanny Sun stood up, she looked at Niuniu who had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and said, "Niuniu has always been well-behaved and rarely touches things randomly. It can't be her. What happened today must have been deliberately framed by that little palace maid."

Although Nanny Sun blamed Niu Niu for running around, she also understood that someone was plotting against Niu Niu, and she would not throw dirty water on Niu Niu in order to clear herself of the problem.

The Queen Mother nodded. Although she felt sad that the piano was scratched like this, she hated the person who schemed behind the scenes even more.

"My dear, do you still remember the appearance of the little palace maid who brought you here?" asked the Queen Mother.

Niu Niu nodded obediently and said, "Although I don't know the name of that palace maid, I often see her. She is a little palace maid in Shoukang Palace." The empress dowager took her hand and wanted to take her out, but she didn't expect Niu Niu to suddenly hug her legs.

Facing the Queen Mother's confused look, Niuniu said softly, "Grandma Queen Mother, please don't be sad."

The Queen Mother's heart tightened.

Niuniu just instinctively felt the Queen Mother's sadness. She continued, "I don't know what this guqin means to you, but it must be related to someone who is very important to you."

Niu Niu understood very early on that most of the time, people’s feelings towards objects actually come from the person who is related to the objects.

Just like she likes the golden rabbit pendant around her neck, that’s because it was given to her by Liu Xiaoru, and it is a concrete manifestation of Liu Xiaoru’s love and care for her.

Niuniu said: "Since he is an important person to you, he certainly doesn't want to see you sad because of the guqin. In his heart, your feelings must be much more important than a guqin."

Niu Niu thought about herself and thought that if she felt sad and regretful for losing the golden rabbit, Liu Xiaoru would definitely buy her a new one and would not want to see her feel sad and regretful.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Sun said, "Empress Dowager, Niuniu is right. Don't be too sad about the damage to the guqin. The most urgent thing is to catch the person behind the plot. It's possible that person just wants to see you sad because of this. You must cheer up."

Niuniu nodded vigorously, holding the Queen Mother's hand and said, "Grandma Queen Mother, Grandpa Yan said that illness is often caused by emotions. He said that the worse your mood, the worse your health will be. You must be happy."

The queen mother, who was originally very sad, couldn't help laughing when she heard the two people around her singing the same tune, and said, "Okay, don't worry."

Nanny Sun quickly gathered all the palace maids and eunuchs in Shoukang Palace together and asked Niu Niu to identify the person.

It was just that Niuniu looked around carefully before she said, "The sister who brought me here before is not here."

The Queen Mother frowned and asked, "Is there anyone else who hasn't come yet?"

Nanny Sun's eyes were like a sharp sword, sweeping across everyone present.

Finally, a young palace maid could no longer bear the pressure and said, "To reply to Madam, Yunluo did not come."

Nanny Sun thought about it carefully and recalled Yunluo's appearance. Her heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that the Shoukang Palace, which she was in charge of, actually had such a big mistake.

"Yunluo had a stomachache yesterday and has been lying in the room ever since. She also took a leave and was not on duty today." The little palace maid explained.

But this statement attracted the attention of others.

Nanny Sun asked the eunuch with a strange expression on his face, "What do you want to say?"

The young eunuch hesitated for a moment and said, "Mammy, she lied. Yunluo is not sick. I saw her today!"

The little palace maid who spoke first immediately became anxious and said, "I didn't lie. Yunluo is indeed sick. Everyone in this room can testify to this!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Nanny Sun said with a stern face: "No noise is allowed in front of the noble!"

The two of them fell silent at the same time.

Nanny Sun waved her hand and said, "Go, two people, and bring Yunluo over even if we have to carry her!"
