"The eldest prince's mansion?" Sheng Nanzhi suddenly raised his head.

Shuanghan nodded: "I heard that the fire happened to be in the courtyard where the eldest prince lives."

"Today, His Majesty was furious at the morning court and ordered a thorough investigation. Everyone in the palace is discussing that our prince is being targeted because he enjoys His Majesty's favor. As for the eldest prince, it's very likely because he's the eldest son, and there's a high chance he'll be named Crown Prince."

"I don't know who it is that is so blatant."

Sheng Nanzhi narrowed her eyes. Everyone seemed to think that the eldest prince was a victim and was affected by the struggle for the position of crown prince.

But she didn't think so.

The incident at Prince Yi’s Mansion happened in the first half of the night.

The eldest prince's mansion was in the second half of the night.

Shi Huaizhi said he had something important to do and disappeared in the middle of the night.

She suspected that the person who sent people to assassinate Prince Yi's Mansion was actually the eldest prince.

The fire in the eldest prince's mansion was set by Shi Huaizhi.

If the assassin last night was sent by the Crown Prince...

She actually admired this aspect of Shi Huaizhi: he would take revenge if he had one, and he would do it immediately.

But why did the eldest prince do this? Did he suspect that Shi Huaizhi was not unconscious?

Or maybe he felt that as long as Shi Huaizhi was alive, he would always be a threat, and wanted to kill him first.

If Huaizhi had retaliated immediately last night, wouldn't that have easily aroused the suspicion of the eldest prince?

As soon as this thought arose in her mind, she immediately suppressed it.

Was the fire in the First Prince's Mansion Shi Huaizhi's revenge? Would the First Prince suspect Shi Huaizhi? What did it have to do with her? Why should she worry about all this for Shi Huaizhi?

Sheng Nanzhi pursed her lips and said, "Go and bring the person that Concubine Hua sent here for me to see."

"Yes."

After taking the medicine for frostbite, Sheng Nanzhi stopped him and said, "Wait, go tell Aunt Jinxin that I plan to move to a new courtyard. The prince is in this room and needs to change the medicine every day. The smell of medicine in this room is too strong. I feel uncomfortable and nauseous."

"Yes."

Shuanghan quickly brought the person given by Concubine Hua.

Walking in front was a nanny.

When Sheng Nanzhi saw the nanny, she couldn't help but be shocked.

She had seen this nanny in her previous life. This nanny was indeed a personal servant of Concubine Hua. Her name was Nanny Jin. It was said that she was the nanny that Concubine Hua brought from her parents' home as a dowry when she married the current emperor.

In her previous life, every time she met Concubine Hua, Nanny Jin was always there to serve her.

She never expected that the person given by Concubine Hua was actually Nanny Jin.

Sheng Nanzhi stood up immediately: "Good afternoon, Ma'am."

Nanny Jin hurriedly took two steps forward, bent down and supported Sheng Nanzhi's hand: "Princess, why did you get up? You are really troubling me."

Sheng Nanzhi smiled gently: "I have seen Mammy in the palace before. Mammy is someone close to my mother. She was called here by my mother to take care of my affairs and take care of my body. Naturally, I cannot neglect her."

Nanny Jin was very pleased with Sheng Nanzhi's attitude. She had met Sheng Yunrou in the palace when Huaizhi and Sheng Yunrou were engaged.

Sheng Yunrou relied on the fact that she was the daughter of the Prime Minister and the Phoenix Girl of Heaven, and her attitude and behavior were simply...

His chin was almost in the air.

Although the new Princess Yi also has the surname Sheng and is a sister of Sheng Yunrou, her way of dealing with people is completely different.

Although she was a slave, she was also a human being and naturally wanted to be respected.

Nanny Jin also smiled slightly: "Last night, the Queen heard the news that the princess was pregnant, and she was so happy."

"She left the palace overnight to see you, and then she heard from Jin Xin that the Sheng family didn't think much of you. When you entered Prince Yi's mansion, the Sheng family didn't even give you a maid or servant as a dowry."

"After she returned, she became restless. She kept telling me, 'This is your first pregnancy, and you must be both excited and nervous. But the prince has no way to comfort you, and you don't even have an experienced servant by your side. This is absolutely unacceptable.'"

"No, I'll let the servant come immediately."

"Don't worry, Princess. I have been taking care of you for nearly thirty years. When you had Prince Yi, it was me who took care of you."

"Later, the Queen had the Ninth Princess, who was also taken care of by this servant."

"Princess, if you feel unwell or have any questions, you can ask me. Although I don't understand everything, I understand at least 60% to 70%. For the remaining 30% to 40%, you can ask someone who understands."

Sheng Nanzhi's eyelashes trembled, and she asked tentatively, "I... am indeed a little scared."

Seeing Sheng Nanzhi's expression, Nanny Jin immediately dismissed the chef and the doctor behind her: "What are you afraid of, Princess?"

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyes and said, "I'm afraid that the struggle for imperial power will hurt the baby in my belly."

"I was afraid that he would be implicated and killed while still in my belly, and I wouldn't be able to give birth to him. Or, even if he was born, I wouldn't be able to raise him."

"After all, didn't the prince also suffer an accident because of this?"

When Nanny Jin heard Sheng Nanzhi say she was afraid, she felt something in her heart. She lowered her eyes and smiled: "I can't say that the princess is worrying for no reason."

"After all, this is the Royal Family."

"Even if an ordinary woman becomes pregnant, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents, and that she will be able to give birth to and raise the child safely and smoothly."

"But we can't be hesitant and afraid to try just because something hasn't happened yet, right?"

"Don't worry, Princess. Her Majesty asked me to come here to help you eliminate some dangers."

"Even with the guards arranged by the princess, we can't guarantee that your baby will be born safely, but we can promise to do our utmost to ensure the safety of you and your child."

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes and her eyelashes trembled.

If Nanny Jin and the guards were to stay close to her and keep a tight watch on her surroundings, how could she possibly let things take their course and get rid of the child?

Sheng Nanzhi was just thinking about it when the maid's voice came from outside the door: "Princess, someone is coming from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Please come over."

Sheng Nanzhi was about to agree when Nanny Jin's expression suddenly changed, becoming serious: "The Prime Minister knows that the princess is pregnant, right?"

"But the princess is the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and she's also pregnant with a royal child. Since the Prime Minister knew she was pregnant, it would be fine if he didn't send her a gift, but why would he let her return to the Prime Minister's residence to see him while pregnant?"

"Just tell the people sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion that if they want to see the princess, they can come and ask for an audience themselves. Princess, don't go back."

Sheng Nanzhi smiled secretly. This Nanny Jin was indeed worthy of being someone close to Concubine Hua.

It's also a powerful one.

There are some things that she is not comfortable saying given her status.

But Nanny Jin could speak, and the Sheng family couldn't refute it.

It feels good to bully others by taking advantage of your power.
