214 Threats
Nanny Cheng felt wronged but there was nothing that she could do, she lowered her head with clenched fingers as she replied in a low voice, ” I understand your majesty.”
Anyone with a working head could see that the Dowager Empress was threatening Nanny Cheng, she was telling her not to breathe a word to anyone else because she was worried that Nanny Cheng might end up slipping something out of her mouth because of her anger and emotions which was why she sent her to Liu Hui Ying’s palace where she knew that Liu Hui Ying will not let her speak any nonsense.
” Very well, I knew that no nanny of the Liu family will be a fool,” Dowager Empress nodded with apparent grace as she straightened up and looked at Nanny Cheng as if the latter was nothing but a worthless insect she could curse at any second. ” There is no place for fools in the Liu family anyone whose head is filled with water deserves to be under six feet rather than walking alongside us. If you cannot be wise enough to understand something so small then I can arrange a new residence for you…it will be a little small and cramped but you will be in a better place, what do you say, Nanny Cheng?”
Dowager Empress’s words were soft and filled with affection if no one knew her, they would have thought that she was telling Nanny Cheng to retire and go to the countryside with little to no comfort but everyone in the room was very much aware of what kind of woman Dowager Empress was and thus they knew that the woman was talking about a coffin instead of a house.
Her cold words cause Nanny Cheng to shiver as she lowered her head and repeat her words in a slightly clear voice, ” I don’t dare to betray the Liu family, your majesty. Even if I die, I will not say a word about today.” When she said these words they nearly killed her, Liu Fei Fei died unfairly and someone killed her but for the sake of stopping the investigation from taking place, she has to make the murder sound like it was suicide.
Her poor little mistress —— she will be buried without ever getting the justice that she deserved.
” You are wise indeed, Nanny Cheng,” Dowager Empress’s lips curled in a soft smile as she stared at the back of Nanny Cheng’s head. ” I was thinking that you might have gone muddleheaded with your advancing age but looks like you are still young enough to work for a few more years, take care of your body and mind, and more importantly your mouth that way you will be able to stay alive for a very long time.”
After she spoke, she glanced at Liu Hui Ying who was silently standing by her side and her lips for the very first time curled in a genuine smile. ” I knew that no niece of mine wouldn’t be cut out for the role of the Empress.” She raised her hand and then took off a ring from her finger before she stretched out her hand with the ring clutching between her fingers. ” Take this, if not for your careful consideration, we would have lost more than just a young girl’s life.”
Liu Hui Ying did not want to take the ring at all, who knew how many people’s blood was covering this very ring but she knew that she would not be able to do so which was why she pursed her lips and then took the ring before lowering her body in a polite bow. ” I thank your majesty.”
.....
She looked at the golden ring with her lips twitching, the ring had a beautiful red ruby attached to the golden band but for her, this ring was not at all worthy to be worn on her finger. It smelled of corruption and absolute control, something that she was not a fan of, which was why she was going to throw this ring in the back of her jewellery box once she goes back to her courtyard.
Dowager Empress nodded and then she flicked her sleeves before she walked past the crowd and the corpse that was now covered with a white cloth, her nanny has asked the maids to cover the body of Liu Fei Fei given that she was looking a bit unsightly with her body getting swollen.
With a brisk walk, Dowager Empress walked away she did not even glance at the body as if the girl who died was not even from her family much less her niece. There was no pain or sadness on her face if there was anything it was anger, her delicate face that has been fighting a war with the turn of time was scrunched up and one could see that there was a storm that was raging inside her heart as she walked past the corridor of the courtyard that belonged to Liu Fei Fei.
All the maids who were standing in the narrow courtyard immediately pushed their bodies back and stuck their backs to the wall that was behind them and then lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe loudly, they knew that if they were to say anything at this moment they will be the one who will be getting that small and cramped.
” Are we going to ignore this matter, your majesty?” Nanny An asked as she looked at her master, she knew that even though the Dowager Empress has given up on the Phoenix seal, she was still very much in control of the harem, this was the reason that when Liu Fei Fei died—— the matter was made known to Dowager Empress first instead of the Empress and the Emperor. It was the Empress’s good fortune that she was with the Dowager Empress and was able to avoid getting into trouble if not she would have had a time explaining herself, not that the Dowager Empress would not have protected her.
” Of course not,” Dowager Empress’s face twisted into a vicious sneer. ” Since they like the thought of killing so much, then they might be willing to see the consequences of their actions. Ask the guards to send the dead bodies of those maids to the Ji family, let them know that I have a very good idea what they are doing.” She paused as she clenched her fingers and then tugged the side of her lips in a cruel smile. ” And I do appreciate it very much, they will receive a return gift for this wonderful gift that they have given me.”
