Chapter 204: Sowing discord between Su Jixue
"Just now, this nanny actually wanted to attack me!"
Su Jixue said exaggeratedly without thinking.
Rounding off can be considered as taking action.
Empress Dowager Xie's eyebrows jumped again, and she glared at Madam Jiang with some blame. In fact, when Su Jixue said that before, Empress Dowager Xie had also considered taking action against Su Jixue, but she must not act rashly before dealing with King Zhan.
She knew Nanny Jiang's identity and her talents and abilities, so she understood what Nanny Jiang might have seen.
Nanny Jiang was not afraid at all. Instead, she went straight to Empress Dowager Xie and whispered something in her ear.
Su Jixue could see the change in Empress Dowager Xie's expression, which showed that she was particularly shocked by what Nanny Jiang said. However, Su Jixue and Chunya were both there, so Empress Dowager Xie couldn't show it.
However, when Empress Dowager Xie heard what Nanny Jiang said, she slowly sat up from the couch and looked at Su Jixue again: "This Nanny in my palace is a discerning person. She shouldn't have attacked you just now, but she had her reasons."
Empress Dowager Xie's eyes fell on Su Jixue's eyes. Empress Dowager Xie had a pair of fox eyes and was very clear about Ji Xue's appearance. However, Su Jixue's eyes were different from Ji Xue's. Her peach blossom eyes were affectionate to everyone she looked at, so naturally they lacked the sharpness of a fox's eyes.
Considering the expression Su Jixue showed, she really didn't look like Ji Xue at all.
but--
Nanny Jiang said that she sensed Ji Xue's soul in the palace, but it disappeared when she used the soul-binding formation. Not long after, Su Jixue woke up.
Therefore, Nanny Jiang speculated that Ji Xue might have some connection with Su Ji Xue, or it was very likely that Su Ji Xue was Ji Xue. Because the soul was summoned back, the original owner's spiritual blood was needed, and then the blood was used to summon the soul.
And Nanny Jiang also smelled the blood.
So Su Jixue is indeed somewhat suspicious. After all, her performance in the princess's mansion was really unexpected.
"Oh?" Su Jixue pouted a little aggrievedly: "Queen Dowager, you can't be partial to the people in your own palace. Ji Xue regards you as an elder whom she admires!"
The sound of Ji Xue made Empress Dowager Xie's forehead jump, and also made Nanny Jiang turn her eyes over.
Su Jixue did this on purpose.
Sometimes, if you are too frank and open, they won't doubt you.
"How is that possible? Nanny Jiang is an old lady in the palace. She is careful and cautious in her actions and would never act impulsively." Empress Dowager Xie looked at Nanny Jiang meaningfully and then turned her gaze to Su Jixue: "She just sensed something bad and smelled the blood. She was afraid that you would attract evil spirits."
"There are evil spirits in the palace? Isn't it protected by the aura of the true dragon emperor?!" Su Jixue was surprised and confused, and did not answer Empress Dowager Xie's question at all.
Empress Dowager Xie's eyes flickered, and she asked kindly, "Of course, there are also those who have died unjustly in this palace, and no one knows what kind of vile things might be hidden in some corner. Jixue, are you and your servant having your period, or is anyone injured?"
Thank you Queen Mother for asking so politely.
But Nanny Jiang's eyes fell on Su Jixue's face without any hesitation, staring closely at her reaction.
Su Jixue, however, suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. I really misunderstood this nanny."
"Empress Dowager Bing, I was injured when I accidentally hit a teacup in the side hall." Chunya said, showing her injured finger. "I saw a teacup in the hall and wanted to prepare some tea for the young lady, but then I realized she was not at home."
Chunya said as she knelt down with a plop: "It was this servant who accidentally broke the teacup in the side hall. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Chunya had already thought about what would happen before taking action, so everything was already arranged.
No matter if it's a broken teacup or a wound on the hand.
Nanny Jiang frowned and stepped forward to carefully examine Chunya's finger. It was indeed a fresh wound, accidentally caused by a sharp object.
"It's just a teacup. The Queen Mother will definitely not take it seriously with my maid, right?" Su Jixue looked indifferent and deliberately looked at the Queen Mother Xie in a friendly manner.
She said this on purpose, for fear that Empress Dowager Xie might do something unexpected.
"Of course." Empress Dowager Xie maintained a kind smile and looked at Su Jixue in front of her, feeling inexplicably upset.
Nanny Jiang let go of Chunya, her frown still on her face, but her eyes were still full of disbelief as she looked at Su Jixue. The sinister aura on her body enveloped Su Jixue again.
Empress Dowager Xie frowned slightly: "Madam Jiang, since you have sensed something ominous, why not follow the feeling and stop staring at the girl."
Su Jixue is the future Princess Zhan, we can't just fall out with her like this.
"Empress Dowager." Nanny Jiang was a little reluctant.
"Hey, it turns out that this nanny is so rude in front of the empress dowager. No wonder she acted like that just now." Su Jixue looked at the empress dowager as if she had suddenly realized something, looking both stupid and irritating.
"Go down quickly!" Empress Dowager Xie said in a stern voice.
Only then did Nanny Jiang look at Su Jixue deeply, then turned and left.
"Your Majesty, you are so kind-hearted. If this happened in the Prime Minister's residence, Ji Xue would have sold her out directly!" When Su Jixue saw Nanny Jiang leave, she immediately put on airs in front of Queen Mother Xie.
"Madam Jiang saved me before." Empress Dowager Xie looked at Su Jixue lovingly, "Now that she's older, I'll tolerate her."
"So that's how it is. Then she should be retired directly. Why should she stay in the palace? Don't let people think that the empress dowager has lost her dignity." Su Jixue continued to flatter her seemingly unintentionally. You know, the relationship between Empress Dowager Xie and Nanny Jiang has become a fixed pattern for many years.
It is even possible that Nanny Jiang has been in a superior position for a long time. After all, that was the case from the conversations Su Jixue recalled.
After all, the Eldar priests are the inheritors of those secret skills, while the saint is more like the protector of the Eldar, mainly responsible for healing.
It now seems that Empress Dowager Xie's personality is destined to make it impossible for her to be content with being a saint of the spirit race.
Ambition was evident in those fox eyes.
Perhaps it was Lingjiu who gave Queen Mother Xie the opportunity to rebel against her clan, and it has always held a dominant position. However, after so many years, Queen Mother Xie's status has changed. Is she really willing to accept this?!
Su Jixue: This is an open and blatant conspiracy.
Su Jixue can help expand the dissatisfaction hidden deep in Empress Dowager Xie's heart.
"Miss Su, please be careful with your words!" Aunt Jin Ning frowned slightly. She couldn't help but look in the direction where Nanny Jiang disappeared. She was not an ordinary person. Her hearing was not comparable to that of normal people. Nanny Jiang could definitely hear what Su Jixue said.
"It's okay, let her talk. I want to see what kind of evil this little rich girl can do!"
Nanny Jiang's sinister words were heard in the hall. Although no one had arrived yet, the threatening atmosphere filled the entire hall.
