"What's going on?" Although Nanny Zhou despised Rong Enqing for being useless, she still asked with concern, "Why did I suddenly ask you to send your granddaughter to the palace? How old are your granddaughters? The oldest seems to be only six years old, right?"

Rong Enqing pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth, and told him about the suspected discovery of treasure in the Marquis' Mansion, and also about Concubine Liang threatening her to hand over the treasure, "That's what happened.

"I originally wanted to test whether Li Mao would contact Yun Yi because of the treasure leak. If we can find Yun Yi and let Emperor Taihe get rid of the threat, maybe our Shun'an Marquis Mansion will be safe. Who knows..."

"You know shit!" Nanny Zhou took two quick steps and twisted Rong Enqing's arm fiercely. Then she withdrew her hand angrily, and fell one step behind Rong Enqing again. She lowered her voice and cursed: "You idiot, don't you have a brain? You still want to find Yun Yi?

"If you could find Yun Yi, would Emperor Taihe have to be wary and forbearing for thirty years???

"If you don't have a brain, don't do unnecessary things!"

Rong Enqing did not dare to get angry after being scolded by Madam Zhou. He could only defend himself in a low voice: "I am thinking of finding Yun Yi, so that I can save some survival chips for myself and Shun'an Marquis's Mansion. Otherwise, if Yun Yi is caught by Emperor Taihe one day and we did nothing, won't we suffer as well?"

"I say you are brainless, and you really are brainless!" Nanny Zhou was so angry that she didn't know what to say. "Let me tell you this, you are walking on a tightrope right now! Whether Yun Yi is caught, whether Emperor Taihe will spare you and Shun'an Marquis' Mansion in the end, all depends on Emperor Taihe's decision.

"Since you asked Xiu Zhang and Madam Gong to return to the palace, you have already made it clear that you want to ally with Emperor Taihe and go against Yun Yi and his people.

"In this case, after you suspected that you had discovered the treasure, you should have immediately informed Emperor Taihe through Xiu Zhang and Madam Gong. Instead of sneaking around and trying to lure Yun Yi out yourself to take credit for it.

"Do you really think that you can hide your every move from Xiu Zhang and Madam Gong? Or do you think you can hide it from Emperor Taihe?

"Don't be so self-righteous, idiot!

"If you do this, the Emperor Taihe will think that you are indecisive and your intention to surrender is not sincere! This will only accelerate the demise of you and Shun'an Marquis Mansion!"

Rong Enqing really wanted to cry, "What should I do? I really just want to do something to accumulate some merit for the future."

"Okay, what's the point of saying these nonsense now?" Nanny Zhou said unhappily, "Be more careful in the future. Don't hide things from Xiu Zhang and Nanny Gong. No matter whether it's good or bad, you must let them know as soon as possible. At least you can clear yourself. Especially Xiu Zhang, this girl is sentimental and will help you at the critical moment."

"You even know this?" Rong Enqing looked at Nanny Zhou in surprise. Xiu Zhang and Nanny Gong were female officials who had left the palace! It was not easy for ordinary people to know this, but Nanny Zhou not only knew it, but also knew clearly Xiu Zhang's sentimental personality!

Nanny Zhou glanced at Rong Enqing and asked, "How do you think Xiu Zhang and Nanny Gong got to Shun'an Marquis's Mansion?"

Rong Enqing was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

At the beginning, she pleaded with the Empress Dowager through Princess Anyang, and asked for this person from the palace in the name of a nanny who could teach her the rules.

Therefore, although the candidate was agreed upon by Emperor Taihe, he must have gone through the hands of the Empress Dowager.

Could it be that Xiu Zhang was chosen because she values ​​feelings?

Thinking of this, Rong Enqing couldn't help but ask, "Zhou Xue, the Queen Mother even listened to you about this matter? What kind of ecstasy did you give the Queen Mother?"

"Okay, stop talking about these irrelevant things." Nanny Zhang said earnestly, "Remember what I said, don't do anything unnecessary in the future, and don't hide things from Xiu Zhang and Nanny Gong. Otherwise, one day in the future, when the rebellion comes to an end, even the Queen Mother can't save you!"

Rong Enqing nodded obediently: "I understand."

Sighing, Rong Enqing felt a headache again, "What should I do now? Concubine Liang wants me to send a granddaughter to the palace before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to be a companion to the little princess. I only have four granddaughters, the oldest is six years old, and the youngest is only two years old. If I send a young one to the palace, won't she be punished?"

"Zhou Xue, don't you have a good relationship with the Empress Dowager? Could you ask the Empress Dowager to help tell Concubine Liang not to let me send my granddaughter into the palace?" Rong Enqing asked tentatively.

But just as Rong Enqing finished speaking, Nanny Zhou reached out from behind and grabbed the back of his neck, "How could you say such a stupid thing?"

Feeling the coldness and pain coming from the back of his neck, Rong Enqing subconsciously shrank his neck, "Cold, cold, cold! Let go!"

Nanny Zhou took back her hand, sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "Since the matter between you and Concubine Liang is a foregone conclusion, don't think about getting rid of Concubine Liang in a short time. As I said, no matter what happens, don't bother Xiu Zhang and Nanny Gong. Tell Xiu Zhang everything later and see how Emperor Taihe reacts.

"If Emperor Taihe does not respond within three days, you will obediently send your granddaughter to Concubine Liang as a hostage."

"Then, should we tell Xiu Zhang about the death-free jade pendant?" Rong Enqing hesitated. "Will Emperor Taihe be so angry that he wants me to be buried with Concubine Liang and the Third Prince?"

"Emperor Taihe will not touch Concubine Liang and the Third Prince for the time being." Nanny Zhang said in a firm tone.

"That's good." Rong Enqing patted his chest, feeling a little relieved. Then he reacted and looked stunned, "So, even if I tell Emperor Taihe about this, he will probably not take any action? So, the most likely scenario is that I will have to send my granddaughter into the palace as a hostage?"

"That's right." Zhou Xue confirmed Rong Enqing's words.

"Oh my god!" Rong Enqing murmured, wishing time could go back.

If she had known that her whimsical temptation would implicate Concubine Liang and her granddaughter, she would never have done such a daring thing!

"Okay, this is not an insurmountable obstacle. The palace is not a dangerous place. Just choose a good person and send him to the palace."

After hearing Zhou Xue's words, Rong Enqing suddenly had an idea. He turned around and looked at Grandma Zhou hopefully, "Have you thought of any solution?"

Madam Zhou winked at her and reminded her, "Don't stop, keep going."

"Oh." Rong Enqing turned around quickly and walked forward slowly.

"Isn't this simple?" Nanny Zhou said nonchalantly, "Didn't Concubine Liang say that the little princess had no one to take care of her after her mother died, so she was brought to live with her?

"After a while, I will have the Queen Mother pretend to run into the little princess by chance, and then I will have her tell the Emperor Taihe that they like each other and ask her to keep her by her side. Then I will take the opportunity to bring your granddaughter to Shoukang Palace as well."
