Chapter 100: Knots That Are Hard to Untie

g with it later. Because I don't really know much about the rules and customs of noble families, so I'd appreciate your help." 。Chen Zixuan tried his best to use polite words to probe Ruitianling. 。R...Wǎn'er lost her balance and fell from the bed to the ground. She rubbed her forehead, which had been hit by a stool leg, and as soon as she looked up, she saw a pair of black 渡邊 gilded shoes standing behind the screen in her peripheral vision...

And these black Watanabe gold-plated shoes, Wan'er knew them too well... because these were the very pair she had made with her own hands...

Lord Liu!

I wonder how long the Sixth Prince had been standing behind the screen. Did he hear everything

Wan'er cried out in her heart, "Oh no!"

At this moment, the medicine hadn't taken effect yet. Ying Guifei was still raving in bed: "Kill him! Kill him! Where is Wuji Bring Wuji here! Didn't he always want to test his martial arts against Ruitianling This palace will give him the opportunity..."

Wan'er rushed over and covered Empress Ying's mouth, stopping her from saying the words that followed.

Ying Gui Fei was covered with a gag, her anger even greater. She gripped Wan Er's hand with both hands, pulling desperately, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Wan Er.

"My Lady, the Sixth Prince is outside..." Wan'er whispered softly in Yinggui Fei's ear.

"Mmm... Mmm... Mmm..." Ying Gui Fei was muffled, her words coming out indistinctly.

"My Lady, please forgive me for acting without your permission. I will release you once you have calmed down," Wan'er whispered to Ying Guifei.

"Waa... Waa..."

"I have overstepped my bounds, Your Majesty!" Wan'er pressed Empress Ying's acupoints, helping her to lie down on the pillow. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ying Gui Fei's bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at the Wan'er before her.

Wan'er picked up the blanket from the ground and covered it over Ying Guifei. She tidied the room up a bit, and seeing that Ying Guifei’s eyes had recovered somewhat, she unblocked her acupoints.

"My Lady..."

"Wan'er... luckily I have you..." Ying Gui Fei let out a long, turbid breath.

"My Lady, the Sixth Prince is outside the screen. I don't know when he got there or how much he heard…" Wan'er leaned close to Empress Ying's ear and whispered.

"Oh" Yinggui Concubine glanced at Wan'er, "Did this palace speak nonsense again What's wrong with your face Did this palace hit you"

Wan'er shook her head. "No, it was an accident, I bumped into something myself, My Lady... right now the most important thing is..." Wan'er pointed outside. "The Sixth Prince is still out there."

Ying Guifei pondered for a moment: “You call him in. That child is innocent and extremely admires Ruitian Ling. Even if he hears anything, he definitely won't say it out.”

But Your Majesty, what if it happens What if ten thousand things happen!" Wan'er reminded her.

"What are you afraid of That child's martial arts are so weak, he is to this palace like an ant, easily crushed to death, nothing to be feared. But this palace doesn't want to crush him yet, keeping him will be of great use." Ying貴妃 donned a composed smile once more.

"Since Your Majesty already has plans in mind, this servant will finish your makeup before calling the Sixth Prince in."

"No, this is perfect for me. Go, bring him to me."

Yes, my lady!

Wan'er deliberately lightened her steps and walked outside the screen.

With Ruitian Yu's martial arts, he was completely no match for Wan'er. So, he didn't feel Wan'er approaching at all. By the time he reacted, Wan'er was already in front of him. A flicker of embarrassment and helplessness crossed the Sixth Prince's face, but more importantly, fear...

It seems the Sixth Prince really heard what Your Highness said, but I wonder how much he heard…

Seeing the Sixth Prince's face full of defenses and fear, Wan’er revealed a gentle smile. She slowly walked towards the Sixth Prince...

"Wan... Wan... Sister Wan..." Ruitian Yu instinctively took a step back.

"Sixth Prince, what's wrong Why is your forehead all sweaty" Yǎn'er looked at him with a smile and took out the silk scarf from her waist to wipe his sweat.

"Huh Is that so Heh heh... well... maybe he left in a hurry... heh heh, in a hurry..." Ruitian Yu resisted Wan'er's approach, wiping his face haphazardly with his sleeve.

"What is Sixth Prince afraid of me doing Could Wan'er possibly eat him" Wan'er said, covering her mouth and laughing...

"Hehehe...no, no..." Rui Tianyu forced a smile, wiping away increasing beads of cold sweat....

"Sixth Prince, when did you arrive here Why didn't any maidservant report it..." Yàn'er observed the Sixth Prince's expression carefully.

"Huh Oh... This king has just arrived. I purposely didn't let the palace maids announce my presence, wanting to surprise Lady Ying... uh... Look, I, I brought Lady Ying her favorite snacks... Hehe..." Rui Tianyu took out the snacks hidden behind him, but his trembling hands betrayed him.

He heard from a maid serving Ying Guifei that she hadn't been sleeping well. Thinking Ying Guifei was Fifth Brother’s biological mother and that Fifth Brother respected her very much, but he had been very busy lately and didn't have time to take care of her, he decided to bring some pastries she liked and chat with her, hoping to cheer her up. Perhaps if her mood improved, she would sleep soundly...

This dessert was supposed to be a surprise, but unexpectedly, he heard that Empress Ying wanted to kill his fifth brother… The surprise instantly turned into shock, and now he was caught red-handed by Aunt Wan'er… The innocent Rui Tianyu naturally became speechless…

“Hee hee, this is the dessert from 賞風樓. Your Majesty will surely be delighted upon seeing it. You don't know, Your Majesty has been having nightmares these days. The imperial physician said that it's because Her Majesty has a knot in her heart that can't be untied, so she keeps having nightmares.” Yǎn'er smiled as she took the pastry from the Sixth Prince’s hand.

Well, judging by the Sixth Prince's appearance, he must have been standing outside since early morning. I wonder if he heard about the Empress Dowager's brother... If he did, things could get complicated...

"Heart knot difficult to untie What heart knot does Empress Ying have" Rui Tianyu was very curious about what kind of knot would make Empress Ying hate Rui Tianling so much, hating her to the point of wanting to hire someone to kill her...

"This... this servant can't say..." Wan'er began to probe the Sixth Prince.

"There's nothing we can't say to each other, Wan'er. You know my mother passed away early, and Empress Ying has always been kind to me. I also want to be filial to Empress Ying." Rui Tianyu saw that Empress Ying had a knot in her heart and became anxious.

"This...a servant cannot say..." Wan'er continued to play coy.

"Aunt, just say it! Are you trying to drive me crazy If I knew Lady Ying's worries, maybe I could help, but who knows" Rui Tianyu grabbed Wan'er's hand and shook it...

Perhaps Ying Niang's knot has been untied, and she wouldn't yell at the fifth brother anymore... Rui Tianyu thought so.

"This... the Empress's knot is related to her mother-child affection..." Wan'er shifted her gaze to Ruitian Yu's legs.

"Maternal and filial piety" Rui Tianyu scratched his head, somewhat at a loss.

Seeing that Yiwan kept looking at his legs, he followed her gaze to his own…

Oh! He knows now! He finally knows why Empress Ying wanted to kill Fifth Brother…

But… Rui Tianyu seemed a little sad, his lips pressed together in a frown.

But you can't blame Fifth Brother either...Fifth Brother is actually... also a pitiful person...

This matter Fifth Brother has always been very self-blaming... Did Empress Ying misunderstand Fifth Brother...ecause of what my sister and I said, aren't you""Hee hee, look at her..."Two maidservants surrounded Huai Ping, laughing happily."Sir, look at them, they're getting more and more out of line. Don't yo...
