Chapter 569 - 548 Second Update
Nanny Yun and others were busy in Chende Palace for two days, there was actually not much to tidy up, just some personal clothes and utensils. Prince Duan had already sent them over, and furthermore, they were gifts from Zheng Congyuan back then.
However, having waited for two days, Zheng Nianru felt increasingly that something was off because in these two days, Chenyuan Hall had repeatedly found various reasons to refuse her meetings with Zheng Congyuan.
Initially, Zheng Congyuan was asleep, and Zheng Nianru did not suspect anything, because during these two days, Zheng Congyuan had mostly been asleep. The Imperial Physician said it was due to a severe loss of vital energy, so Zheng Nianru did not doubt this.
However, Zheng Nianru suddenly realized that the three meals a day entering Chenyuan Hall had changed. The moment she turned to go back to her palace, she noticed that there was much less food, which was different from the previous days.
Zheng Nianru waited another day and indeed, it remained the same. She realized that Zheng Congyuan was intentionally avoiding her.
In the evening, Xing Yu quietly returned. It was difficult for her to move around the palace now, but after hearing Nanny Yun’s method, she did not start with Chenyuan Hall but went to the Imperial Kitchen instead. There, she bribed a Little Eunuch who delivered meals and found out that Zheng Congyuan had awoken two days ago and had already started to review the Memorials to the Throne.
Hearing this news, Zheng Nianru naturally knew that Zheng Congyuan was intentionally avoiding her. As for why, she also faintly guessed some reasons.
With Zheng Congyuan’s proud character, he naturally believed that his hand had led to this defeat, and that he had created the current situation himself, so he felt too ashamed to see her.
So, was he prepared to throw away the situation that Ju Nanyi had barely regained for nothing?
Zheng Nianru thought for a day. The situation was already so bad, how much worse could it get? Moreover, she had done some things in her past life, and this time, she didn’t feel the panic and helplessness she’d felt waking from a drunken stupor in her previous life. All things considered, it was all the same.
