Chapter 537 - 516 Second Update
Nanny Yun, Fu Dong, and the others were becoming increasingly anxious within the palace, unable to eat or sleep, wondering how the Commandery Princess could still manage to sleep at such a time.
Zheng Nianru merely glanced at the evening meal before setting down her chopsticks, her actions becoming more perfunctory.
Fu Dong and Nian Xia were no longer concerned whether the Commandery Princess liked to eat or not. They couldn’t swallow a single bite themselves. Weren’t they supposed to think of something? Even Xing Yu couldn’t get out.
"Commandery Princess, there has been turmoil outside for two days now, we must think of something—" Nanny Yun immediately leaned in. They hadn’t been without ideas; over the past two days, they had climbed over walls, charged through the main gate, feigned illness, and rigged ropes. They hadn’t been entirely without results—at least they could be sure that these people wouldn’t dare do anything to them.
Not only wouldn’t they dare, but they were also extremely polite.
Nanny Yun knew the reason for this was because of Fourth Prince Zheng Haoyuan. But now they were aligned with Zheng Congyuan, making them, in Zheng Haoyuan’s hands, a leverage in the enemy’s grip.
That was not the most pressing issue. The most pressing issue was that if chaos broke out, with a bit of bad luck, they could end up dying obscurely without ever becoming leverage.
Zheng Nianru looked up at Nanny Yun. They couldn’t think of any solutions and were expecting her to come up with something?
The overall situation was beyond the influence of just a few individuals.
However, in her memory, it seemed that things hadn’t dragged on this long. In her past life, Zheng Congyuan’s actions had been much quicker than now.
Zheng Nianru was about to speak when there was already noise at the palace gate. Nian Xia immediately ran out. Zheng Haoyuan had entered with his men, looking panic-stricken.
