Chapter 52 - Baby Nuo Pretends To Be Sick!Chapter 52: Baby Nuo Pretends To Be Sick!
The next day, Gu Nuo’er had just woken up.
The child’s cheeks were pink. She rolled over and opened her round eyes to look around.
In the process of waking up, she realized that her father had probably gone to the morning court and wasn’t by her side.
Her mother wasn’t lying beside her either.
Gu Nuo’er sat up by herself and rubbed her eyes with her small hands.
She had always had an outstanding sense of hearing. At this moment, she heard the sound of Wanyin and Wanxuan talking to each other softly in the outer hall.
“His Majesty went to interrogate Consort Xiao this morning and she insisted that she didn’t know that the assassin was hiding in her palace. She said it so passionately that I almost believed her!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Fortunately, Her Highness is more skilled and had long guessed that she would deny this. Therefore, she tortured that assassin in advance. The assassin confessed that Consort Xiao gave him a large sum of money.
“The Palace Affairs Bureau went to check on Consort Xiao’s expenses for the year and discovered that three months ago, there was a record for a large sum of money withdrawn. The claim was that the money was to be used for her mother, who was sick.
“However, after a thorough investigation, the emperor discovered that Consort Xiao’s mother didn’t fall sick during that period. After the truth was revealed, Consort Xiao confessed and said that she was jealous of Her Highness for having a daughter.
“She originally wanted to poison the empress and find an opportunity to frame Her Highness, but who knew that the little princess would see through it? In the end, she was sentenced to death by the emperor. She really deserved it. She didn’t even know that our princess…
“Is it a lucky star? Going against a lucky star is simply asking for trouble.”
At this point, Wanyin stood up. “The noble consort is still at His Majesty’s place and won’t be back anytime soon. I’ll go and see if the princess has woken up.”
......
Wanxuan added, “Before Her Highness left, she instructed that Nanny Hu, who teaches etiquette, will be coming today. If the princess has woken up later, we’ll call for Nanny Hu to come over.”
When Gu Nuo’er heard Nanny Hu’s name, her small body stiffened.
She quickly lay back down under the blanket. Only after Wanyin came in did the child pretend to be woken up by her footsteps.
Gu Nuo’er, who had just woken up, was fair and tender like a small pearl.
Her cheeks were pink and looked sweet and delicious. It made one really want to kiss her.
Wanyin smiled faintly and picked up Gu Nuo’er. “Princess, have you woken up? Are you hungry? Shall I get the imperial kitchen to bring over your favorite red bean cake?”
Perhaps it was Wanyin’s imagination, but the princess didn’t seem to be in a good mood today.
Gu Nuo’er placed her small hands around Wanyin’s neck, her entire body limp.
She said in a weak voice, “Elder Sister Wanyin, Baby Nuo is feeling dizzy today~”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Wanyin heard this, she immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong? Did you get scared last night? Shall I help you call the imperial physician over?”
Call for an imperial physician? Wouldn’t that expose her?!
Gu Nuo’er shook her head and said softly, “Don’t trouble Uncle Imperial Physician. If Father and Mother find out, they’ll be worried!
“Elder Sister Wanyin, can you carry Baby Nuo out for a walk and take a breather?”
Wanyin’s face was filled with worry. She used the back of her hand to test the temperature of Gu Nuo’er’s forehead.
It was very normal. She wondered where the little princess was feeling unwell.
Wanxuan heard the commotion and walked in. When she found out that Gu Nuo’er wasn’t feeling well, she also became anxious.
“Let’s hurry up and tell Her Highness?” Wanxuan suggested.
Wanyin thought for a long time and frowned. “But Her Highness and His Majesty are handling the matter of the assassin. Isn’t it bad to go and notify them now?”
Wanxuan was anxious. “Nothing can be more important than the princess!”
Wanyin felt that what Wanxuan said made sense and said, “How about this? You go and notify Her Highness while I’ll go call Nanny Hu over. I heard that Nanny Hu used to be a female physician.
“She knows how to take care of some illnesses and can also give massages. Her Highness had also wanted to call her over to give etiquette lessons anyway. Let’s split up and be fast.”
