“Imperial Grandmother, what’s going on?” The crown prince couldn’t help but ask.
The Empress Dowager was in the midst of planting vegetables when the crown prince asked this question. It was as if a fire had been extinguished by cold water.
She glared at the crown prince angrily. “You brat. For the sake of your nutritional balance, I thought of all kinds of ways. It wasn’t easy for me to think of planting vegetables in the imperial garden. I’ll take care of them myself. You can eat them when the vegetables are ripe.”
The crown prince was stunned by the empress dowager’s dignified words. Shouldn’t she leave the matter of his nutritional balance to the imperial kitchen? What did it have to do with the Empress Dowager?
Also, the Empress Dowager was obviously not planting vegetables for him, right?
The Empress Dowager was already crying. The Crown Prince couldn’t bear to expose her. “Thank you for your concern, Imperial Grandmother.”
“Sigh, you’re a grateful child. If you weren’t busy and could help Grandmother plant the vegetables, I would teach you how to plant them.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHence, Jiang Ying and the crown prince were pulled over by the empress dowager to plant vegetables together. In the end, all the flowers in the imperial garden were plucked.
When the emperor came to admire the flowers and saw that this place was bare, the veins on his forehead throbbed.
He had no choice. The Empress Dowager was his biological mother. How could he be angry with his biological mother?
But there was always a ball of anger in his chest. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t vent it. If he couldn’t get angry with the Empress Dowager, couldn’t he find someone else?
Unfortunately, the target had long returned with Jiang Ying. She told Jiang Ying what had happened in the palace today.
Jiang Ying’s gaze darkened as he asked Ning Yue, “Do you know who you met?”
“I don’t know, but she should be the emperor’s consort,” Ning Yue replied.
Jiang Ying nodded. “I’ll send someone to investigate now.”
These subordinates’ investigation progressed very quickly and quickly brought back the information Jiang Ying wanted.
“This person is Consort Mei. She’s doted on by the emperor’s uncle. However, a few years ago, she gave birth to a son that the priests saw as an ominous existence.”
“Uncle Emperor also thinks that he and his youngest son are like water and fire. They weren’t compatible and he sent this young son away when he was a month old. But strangely, Consort Mei didn’t fall out of favor with him just because her son was sent away,” Jiang Ying said.
“Who is this Consort Mei? What’s her status in her mother’s family?” Ning Yue asked.
Jiang Ying handed everything he had found from the investigation to Ning Yue to check. The more she read, the more she frowned.
The He family? She had no impression of this He family at all.
“The He family is from Luzhou, in the same place as your maternal grandfather. It’s not surprising that she knows your adoptive mother and biological mother,” Jiang Ying said.
Ning Yue said nothing. Jiang Ying was right. From the looks of it, it was not strange for Consort Mei to know her biological and adoptive mother.
Ning Yue was puzzled by Consort Mei’s strange attitude when she saw her.
There must be some inside story.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Is the He family in Luzhou or the capital now?” Ning Yue asked casually.
“Not long after Consort Mei was taken into the palace by Uncle Emperor, the He family moved over from Luzhou,” Jiang Ying said.
From the looks of it, the He family had moved to the capital because Consort Mei had been taken into the palace by the emperor. This made sense.
However, based on Consort Mei’s attitude, she felt that things were not that simple.
However, since the He family was in the capital, she could take advantage of the night to visit them.
Ning Yue finally waited until the dead of night to put on a scary mask and change into a night suit.
Ning Yue dodged the imperial guards patrolling the night and arrived at the He family’s entrance wall.
Ning Yue frowned. The He family’s wall seemed to be taller than the other families’ residences, and the wall was covered in thorns.
It seemed that the He family was very cautious. Perhaps they had done too many guilty things and were afraid that others would climb over the wall and come in to take revenge.
If it were an ordinary person, they might be helpless against the high wall filled with thorns, but Ning Yue was not an ordinary person.
She took out the grappling hook and pressed it against the wall. With a whoosh, the grappling hook was shot out and instantly grabbed the highest point of the wall.
Ning Yue pulled hard and looked around warily. Seeing that there was no one around, she held the grappling hook and climbed up the wall.
