200 Princess’ Funeral

“Where’s the First Elder?” Nie Yin sat by the bed and tidied his clothes before asking.

“The First Elder brought people to the city to search for people.” The guard lowered his head as he replied respectfully.

Nie Yin stretched out his hand and gestured for the guard to come and support him. However, the guard stared at Nie Yin, as if he didn’t understand him.

Nie Yin took a deep breath and asked, “Are you new?”

The guard kept his head lowered. “Young Master, you’re so wise! I just entered the Nie family’s residence last month.”

!!

Nie Yin sighed softly. “Alright, come and help me up. Get someone to prepare a carriage. I want to enter the palace!”

The guard took two steps forward and reached out to help Nie Yin.

Nie Yin had just extended his hand when the guard turned to walk out again.

“Where are you going?” Nie Yin’s expression changed slightly as he asked sternly.

“Didn’t Young Master ask me to find someone to prepare the carriage?” The guard said with a troubled expression, as if he didn’t know what to do first.

Nie Yin closed his eyes and asked, “Who else is serving outside?”

“No, most of the people in the residence have been taken out by the First Elder to search for people,” the guard replied honestly.

Nie Yin pursed his lips and suppressed his anger. “Alright! Come and help me first, then get someone to prepare the car!”

The guard immediately came forward to support Nie Yin.

The moment Nie Yin held the guard’s hand, he felt a withered coldness in his hand. However, in the next moment, the feeling disappeared, and his hand became warm.

Nie Yin shook his head. He felt that he was probably in such a bad state that it even affected his sense of touch.

The guard helped Nie Yin to the door before saying to the servants sweeping outside, “Prepare a carriage for Young Master. Young Master, enter the palace!”

The servant immediately ran to the stable to get two good horses for the carriage.

Nie Yin was helped into the carriage from the side door.

If someone discovered his current condition, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.

The side door was in the deep alley and couldn’t be seen easily.

After Nie Yin got into the carriage, he looked at the driver and asked, “Are you new here too?”

The coachman immediately replied, “Young Master, I’ve been here for months!”

Nie Yin rarely went out in a carriage, so it wasn’t surprising that he was unfamiliar with the coachman in the residence. However, Nie Yin couldn’t tell why the coachman bothered him for some reason.

The carriage drove all the way to the entrance of the inner palace before Nie Yin got into the carriage specifically arranged for him by the queen.

When Nie Yin entered the palace, she saw the queen sitting upright on the golden chair.

Nie Yin coughed, then he raised his hand slightly and said, “Greetings, Queen.”

The queen sat on the high seat as she looked down at Nie Yin, who had a sickly appearance. “How did you become like this?”

The queen didn’t seem to mind Nie Yin’s rudeness.

Nie Yin didn’t want to say too much about his embarrassing encounter, lest he cause other trouble. Instead of answering the queen’s question, he asked, “Since you were such in a hurry to find me today, did you find what I wanted?”

The queen narrowed her eyes at Nie Yin, then waved away an oil lamp on the table beside her.

“Nie Yin! You said that as long as I don’t visit the princess, you will definitely have a way to heal her! Now, the princess is dead. How are you going to explain it?!”

Nie Yin looked at the oil lamp on the ground in dismay. It was the one he had handed to the queen earlier.

Now that the thing in the oil lamp had disappeared, it meant that the princess had died!

How.. was this possible?

“You don’t have to pretend! If you can’t explain yourself today, I’ll bury the Nie family with my child!” The queen’s eyes were filled with anger. She clenched the handle of the golden chair tightly with one hand and actually crushed it.
