"Hmm~"

The emperor nodded and uttered in a long nasal voice: "That's great, Madam Yang, you have to put more thought into it, Madam." As the emperor spoke, he walked in.

At this time, Nanny Yang finally saw the princess behind the emperor. The emperor was standing in front of her just now, and his tall stature blocked her view.

Looking at the girl in front of me, she has fair and rosy skin, big eyes, a high nose, and a cherry mouth. Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to those of my former wife.

Yang Ma was shocked, and she didn't know who this girl was. However, she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and nodded to the princess, and bowed.

As for Su Desheng, they had met several times and could be considered old friends. Nanny Yang also smiled and nodded at him.

Several people walked in, and the accompanying guards stayed at the door waiting, and Nanny Yang closed the door again.

Normally, the door of Beiwan is not easily opened, except when someone comes to visit. However, for people like them who have no one to rely on, basically no one would take the initiative to approach them.

Since they arrived in Beiyuan, apart from the emperor who came once or twice and Su Desheng who delivered things according to the emperor's instructions, no one else has come.

Ever since she stepped through the door, the princess has had a strange feeling in her heart, as if someone was secretly spying on her.

She looked around. This place was much smaller than her Jingyang Palace. Although it was a little shabby, it was clean.

At this time, the palace maids knew that the emperor had arrived, and they showed up one by one, vying to pay their respects to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would look at them straight in the eye.

After paying their respects, some of these people went to clean the courtyard, some went to weed the flower beds. Without exception, they would glance at the emperor from time to time.

Seeing this, Madam Yang shook her head with a wry smile. These girls only knew how to do superficial work. Seeing that the lady had no money to gain, they just ignored her.

But she has gotten used to it. Before, there were only her and her wife in the cold palace. Now that she has come here, there are finally a few more people, and it doesn't feel so gloomy and deserted.

At this time, a man came over in small steps, his mouth grinning like a flower pot, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor. I was just picking vegetables in the kitchen and didn't know that the emperor was here. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

This is Madam Liu, who is about 40 years old. She was awarded here together with the palace maids last time. She is quite snobbish and the palace maids who came with her tend to listen to her.

Originally, they were rewarded here to follow the command of Madam Yang, but they formed their own faction and did not listen to Madam Yang's orders at all.

Basically, Yang Ma had to rely on herself for anything. Like last time when Madam had a seizure, foaming at the mouth and convulsing in her hands and feet, she asked them to come over to help, but they all stayed away.

Now Nanny Yang has gotten used to it. She doesn't like to fight with others. As long as they don't go too far, she will turn a blind eye.

To put it bluntly, on the surface the emperor rewarded them with a few people, but they did not listen to his orders, except for himself and his wife.

If something really happened and there was a conflict among them, they would hurt themselves and no one else would know.

So, as long as everyone can live in peace, it doesn't matter if she does more.

After hearing what Madam Liu said, the emperor raised his lips and smiled faintly: "Madam Liu, I sent you here to serve Master Xia. As long as you serve Master Xia well, everything will be fine."

Nanny Yang nodded repeatedly with a guilty conscience and said, "Of course, this is what I should do~"

"Humph!"

The emperor snorted coldly, changed the subject, and continued: "A slave is a slave, and can never become a master. I have to make it clear in advance.

If I knew that you had done something in private, such as rebelling against your superiors and forming your own gang, I would never forgive you. I guess you have never been to the Centrifugal Palace, right? It must be a bad feeling~"

The emperor's words made Nanny Yang feel cold on her back and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Even a fool could understand the emperor's implication, which was that if you fail to fulfill your duties, are unclear about your own identity, and regard yourself as the master, your end will be to be sent to the cold palace to serve.

The Centrifugal Palace was simply not a place for people to stay. She had heard from others that people were crying there all day long. It was also said that many concubines who were not favored by the emperor had died there throughout the dynasties.

Almost no one comes out after going there. It is simply not a place for people to stay.

Once you get there, if you don't have anyone to back you up and no one to bribe you, even a little eunuch can control you to death, and it's common for you to not have food to eat.

In the middle of winter, food was cut, there were no heaters, and there were few warm clothes, so many people could not survive the winter.

Some would go crazy if they hadn't been locked up here for a few years, and some couldn't bear it anymore and hanged themselves.

So there are quite a few wronged souls there. Even on a hot day it is still eerie when you walk in. Aunt Liu's face is pale. She doesn't want to go there.

"Your Majesty, I will do my duty conscientiously and serve you with Nanny Yang. I won't dare to be negligent in the slightest." Nanny Liu said tremblingly.

It seems that we must not neglect Master Xia in the future, nor take advantage of her misfortune because she is crazy.

You know, from ancient times to the present, no one who entered the cold palace ever came out, except for Master Xia. It seems that the emperor still has feelings for Master Xia.

The voices were neither too loud nor too soft, but the palace maids nearby could hear them, and everyone was secretly frightened.

Nanny Yang was very happy in her heart, and the emperor probably noticed it as well. She said this on purpose for Nanny Liu and the others to hear.

Xia Wan was wearing a blue dress today. Since the food supply was stable during this period, her face looked rosy and her complexion was much better.

At this moment, she was sitting by the window, resting her chin on her hand and staring blankly at the flowers and plants outside the window.

The early morning sunlight shone through the windowsill onto her face, and her entire body seemed to be shrouded in a golden halo.

The emperor walked in and just happened to see this peaceful scene, and from this angle he happened to see Xia Wan's profile.

Under the thick eyelashes, a pair of clear eyes are looking at the window intently, and the slightly upturned lips are plump and rosy, making her look like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world.

The emperor could not help but stare in amazement. If he didn't know her situation, he would never have imagined that the woman in front of him was actually a lunatic.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Xia Wan turned around to look at the emperor, but her eyes did not linger on his face. She then turned around expressionlessly and continued to look out the window.

She really didn't recognize herself anymore, and the emperor's heart twitched.

At this moment, Xia Wan suddenly turned her head and looked at He Li behind the emperor.

He Li looked at the strange woman in front of her, with doubts in her heart, could this be her mother?

The two of them just stared at each other. Xia Wan stared at He Li, her breathing becoming more and more rapid. Suddenly, she stood up, took two steps at a time and walked to He Li and hugged her.
