Chapter 90: The Storm is Coming
Therefore, the Second Prince feels both disappointment and hope towards Princess Consort Lan.
As he walked forward, his face remained expressionless.
Lady Lan was accustomed to his demeanor and naturally felt displeased in her heart.
But in front of the Emperor, she had to put on a show.
She reached out to touch his forehead and then pressed it against her own.
"Fortunately, there’s no fever. Your body is most afraid of heat. The sun outside is scorching, yet you still sneak out. Nanny Chai heard you were missing and urgently sent people to find Mother Consort Lan to look for you."
Then she apologized slightly to the Emperor.
"Emperor, Nanny Chai has served the Second Prince since he was little. She was more anxious than anyone when he sneaked out, and she didn’t report it to Mr. Dong for fear of disturbing you while you’re handling state affairs."
"Upon knowing this, I immediately dispatched people to search everywhere."
Nanny Chai cried tears of joy. Lady Lan’s words had pulled her out from the brink.
"Yes, yes, Lady Lan is right. This old servant has long served by Lady’s side, so when something happened, I thought of Lady right away. I beg the Emperor not to be angry. This old servant won’t dare next time."
Seeing this master and servant duo act, the last trace of hope the Second Prince had for Lady Lan was completely eradicated.
