Chapter 594 - 573: One More Update
Fu Dong saw Lord Ju giving Zheng Nianru something, and then saw Zheng Nianru place the object on the small round table inside the carriage. She couldn’t help but look over, a piece...
Well, even she could tell it wasn’t a finely crafted jade pendant.
"Your Majesty—" It seemed that the Empress was reluctant to even carry it on her person, and yet, after all, it had been given by Lord Ju. Moreover, even the silk ribbon on the jade pendant was partially worn, obviously an important item that Lord Ju carried with him all the time. Thus, its significance was greater than its quality, and Fu Dong didn’t know how to handle it.
"Put it away," Zheng Nianru glanced at it once. She recognized the item. It had been the engagement gift from Ju Nanyi, the only remembrance left by his deceased father. Now, there was no mystery about Ju Nanyi’s feelings towards her. In her past life, she had somewhat believed that Ju Nanyi’s subservience to her after their marriage was largely because she had married down socially, smoothing the path for his future career. Everything that Ju Nanyi had later acquired was tied to her marrying below her social status.
But now, Zheng Nianru didn’t think so anymore; Ju Nanyi hadn’t relied on any connections to reach his current position. It could be said that he held a position of high authority.
Fu Dong quietly put the item away.
However, Nanny Yun was somewhat anxiously watching. There were some things that others had overlooked, although she had come prepared for this journey. Those medicines were intended for Young Master Yin He; she hadn’t expected her mistress to drink them.
But now the situation was different, even for Lord Ju; he needed to be cautious about this matter.
The Emperor was severely ill in bed. This situation clearly told people all around the world something.
After thinking it over, Nanny Yun finally bit her lip and turned to Nian Xia. Nian Xia was somewhat reluctant. Really give it to the Empress? What if the Empress didn’t want it?
