Chapter 34: Mo Youyou’s Poisoning

To prevent the situation of being pierced by needles, Mo Youyou spoke to Senior Nanny Rong in a very amicable manner.

“Senior Nanny Rong, don’t worry. I will study hard no matter what you teach me! Since we know each other, let’s start learning! Where would I start? Is it the etiquette when meeting someone or eating?”

This time, it was senior Nanny Rong who was at a loss. Mo Youyou’s opening words shouldn’t be..?

“Senior Nanny Rong, I will go and prepare.” Could it be that the Ninth Miss was really as the rumors said, stupid?

When Mo Youyou asked her the question, Senior Nanny Rong could only give a courteous reply,

“Ninth Miss, this old servant still needs to prepare. You only need to wait in the chamber.”

Mo Youyou understood and nodded her head, indicating for Senior Nanny Rong to go down and prepare. After Senior Nanny Rong left, Mo Youyou quickly ordered Yue Er.

“Yue Er, hurry and bring a basin of cold water over, quick!”

Yue Er was puzzled, but she did not dare ask and obediently took the chance while Senior Nanny Rong was walking away to pour Mo Youyou a bowl of cold water.

Mo Youyou took the basin of cold water and poured it all over herself, scaring Yue Er so much that she hurriedly stopped him. However, it was already too late, as the bucket of water flowed down Mo Youyou’s neck.

The water was so cold that Mo Youyou’s spine shivered and her arms trembled as she hugged herself tightly.

Yue Er could almost hear the creaking sound of her teeth’s chattering. She quickly pulled up a blanket to cover Mo Youyou and asked worriedly:

“Miss, what are you doing?”

“Are you stupid? This Senior Nanny Rong looks truly fierce! What if she thinks of ways to torture me later? Who would I look for to complain by then? If I catch a cold and get confined into bed, she won’t be able to do anything to me, right?”

Yue Er was suddenly enlightened, and admiration flashed across her eyes. She had never thought that falling into the fecal drain would make her master become a completely different person from before. She was also much gentler and smarter! And her temperament was even a thousand times better than the other young misses of the Mo Residence.

“Miss, I’ll help you change your clothes now.”

“Yue Er is getting smarter! Hehe! Hurry, the old witch will be here in a moment. If she sees it, it won’t be a surprise anymore.”

When Senior Nanny Rong returned to the Southern Courtyard with her books and female disciple, a series of sneezing sounded from Mo Youyou’s hall.

Senior Nanny Rong stood by the door hesitatingly for a moment before finally walking in.

Mo Youyou was lying on the bed, covering her mouth as she coughed and sneezed at the same time. She couldn’t even say a complete sentence.

Seeing that, Yue Er walked up to Senior Nanny Rong and said:

“Senior Nanny, my clan’s young miss suddenly said that she felt dizzy. After lying down on the bed, she suddenly kept coughing non-stop..”

Senior Nanny Rong thought that the Ninth Miss was playing some tricks on her, and quickly interrupted Yue Er.

“This old servant has coincidentally learned some medical skills. If Ninth Miss would allow me to take a look?”

Saying that, she walked forward and checked Mo Youyou’s pulse, and Yue Er did not stop her.

After looking for a while, Senior Nanny Rong frowned and asked curiously.

“Ninth Miss, how many days have you been coughing and gasping for air?”

Mo Youyou looked at Senior Nanny Rong with wide eyes and replied:

“Today..Cough cough cough!”

“Alright, Ninth Miss, you don’t need to speak anymore. This old servant will go call the Duke over right now.”

After she finished speaking, Senior Nanny Rong turned around and quickly left the southern courtyard.

“Senior Nanny Rong, come back! Come back! Why are you gonna go look for Helian Yi?!”

However, Nanny Rong had already left. Thus, there was no point in continuing to wail. Yue Er lowered her head to look at her young miss, who was covering her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

Yue Er did not expect that her master could act out so truthfully! She was even able to trick the Senior Nanny who had been living in the Imperial Palace for a long time. Her young miss’s tearful eyes would make anyone who sees them feel heartache.

Senior Nanny Rong jogged her way to Northern Courtyard. However, when she reached, she got obstructed by the guards.

“His Highness is currently cultivating. If you have anything to say, You can come back later.”

Hearing the guard’s words, Senior Nanny Rong anxiously stomped her feet, “Aiya, this can’t wait! It couldn’t wait! Go tell Prince Jing that this old servant has urgent matters to discuss.”

The guard still stood at his original spot, blocking Senior Nanny Rong’s way as he coldly refused. Helpless, Senior Nanny Rong could only shout from the courtyard.

“Your Highness! Something has happened! The Ninth Miss was poisoned!”

Inside the resting hall, Helian Yi had just finished his training and was about to take a bath when he heard senior Nanny Rong’s shout. Helian Yi’s piercing eyes suddenly turned cold. In an instant, the clothes that hung on the screen returned to his body. He was so worried about Mo Youyou that he had forgotten to fasten his belt before walking out.

Seeing Helian Yi coming out, the guard quickly retreated. Senior Nanny Rong rushed towards Helian Yi and said anxiously,

“Your Highness! The Ninth Miss, she got poisoned. But this old servant is not sure if she got poisoned by the Mansha or not.”

Hearing Senior Nanny Rong’s words, Helian Yi disappeared in a flash.

Senior Nanny Rong looked at the already empty place and wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead. Luckily she had discovered it early. Otherwise, this Ninth Miss wouldn’t be able to leave the Southern Courtyard’s door the next day.
