"Mammy, I need to drink this medicine for a few more days. Even if I drink it, my body won't get better. My child is gone. How could I, as a mother, be so stupid to be schemed against by Zhou Liangdi? How could I be so stupid!!"

As she spoke, her tears fell into the medicine bowl like beads that had broken off a string. The dark, bitter soup, medicine and rice were not as bitter as her salty tears.

Nanny Chen looked away guiltily.

But Tang Wanrou didn't see it at all.

There was a commotion outside the hall, and the sound of anxious footsteps hurriedly approaching.

Before I could even knock on the door, someone just barged in.

Nanny Chen immediately reprimanded, "Who is so bold? Don't you know that this is the Crown Princess's bedroom? How dare you barge in? Why didn't anyone stop you..."

When she saw who the person was, Nanny Chen widened her eyes in surprise.

"Zhang, Aunt Zhang? Why are you here? Aren't you at the Prime Minister's Residence? Why are you in the Crown Prince's Residence?"

Tang Wanrou looked towards the door following the voice.

I saw Aunt Zhang, who was serving my mother, standing at the door with a pale face, messy hair and a look of panic.

"Madam Zhang? Aren't you with mother?" Tang Wanrou didn't know what she was thinking about, and she rarely smiled for the first time in the past few days.

"Is mother here too? His Majesty has forgiven the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion? So mother came to visit me? Where is mother? Is mother here too?"

She put down the medicine bowl, but because she was too excited, the bowl was not placed steadily and fell to the ground.

The bowl broke and the medicine spilled.

He was about to stand up and stretch his neck to look out the door, wanting to see the figure he had always wanted to see.

Immediately afterwards, Nanny Zhang’s words made Tang Wanrou feel like she was in hell.

Nanny Zhang looked very sad and she fell to her knees with a plop.

Unable to hold back my emotions any longer, I burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, She hanged herself!!!"

"Madam has been depressed since what happened after the birthday party. She has been shutting herself in the room, not letting the master get close to her or us in. But she was fine this morning. She even talked to me a lot. I thought she was fine. By the way, she was very happy last time when she received the letter that you asked that little bitch Tang Yu to deliver."

"But I don't know why I couldn't think straight these past few days. Madam even told me that she wanted to eat the pineapple cakes that I made myself. But, but after I made the pineapple cakes, in the time it took to make one cake, Madam, Madam, she committed suicide!!"

"My lady, please go back and take a look."

"..."

silence.

Still silence.

The air seemed to be stagnant here.

The only sound in the hall was that of Nanny Zhang crying.

Nanny Chen and Tang Wanrou stood there in a daze.

Nanny Chen opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She was the first to react and immediately turned to look at Tang Wanrou.

Tang Wanrou was in a daze, as if she heard nothing.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Princess,"

Nanny Chen called Tang Wanrou.

Ever since she heard what Nanny Zhang said, her head has been buzzing.

The rest of the words were no longer heard.

She couldn't even hear Nanny Chen calling her.

My mind goes blank.

Unconcious.

It was as if the support that was stretched like a string had completely broken.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Nanny Chen continued to shout.

no response.

Still no response.

Tang Wanrou was still in a daze.

After Tang Yu had been treated by the imperial physician, his spirit, which had finally gotten better, seemed to fall into darkness again and collapse.

Nanny Zhang was in the Prime Minister's residence and was cut off from the news. Moreover, Tang Yu only told Zhao about Tang Wanrou's situation alone.

So Nanny Zhang had no idea what Tang Wanrou had been through.

He didn't have too many reservations and still urged in an anxious tone.

"My lady, please go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and see the lady."

She wanted to continue speaking, but was stopped by Nanny Chen's look.

After a while.

Tang Wanrou finally responded.

She smiled, "Madam Zhang, did mother ask you to come and see me? Mother made my favorite crab cakes at home and is waiting for me to come home, right? Please wait a moment, I will take the child back to see mother. Mother hasn't seen the little prince yet, right?"
