Granny Yan had already called for two carriages. MO Ruyue and Gu Ying each took one and returned to the Princess’ temporary residence.
When they left, the doctor they had invited arrived late. Only the old women and servant girls of the Liu family were left. The doctor had checked their pulse. They had choked on water for a long time and were scared. There was no danger to their lives. They just needed to recuperate for a few days.
As for whether their life would be in danger when they returned to the Liu family, that was not something that outsiders could know.
Gu Ying told MO Ruyue not to worry about the Liu Family’s Eldest Young Miss and the thief who had been taken away by Shuntian Prefecture. He went out that very night, but returned not long after.
MO Ruyue was already resting, so he went to rest as well.
After what had happened, Gu Ying was worried about MO Ruyue staying alone in the palace. Although the palace was guarded by guards and maids, he was still worried.
Even when he slept at night, he was vigilant. He would immediately open his eyes at the slightest movement.
As a result, the next morning, MO Ruyue looked at Gu Ying with a strange expression. His eyes were slightly sunken and green.
“You couldn’t have been scared by falling into the water last night, right? I’m fine. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Actually, MO Ruyue knew that he was worried about her.
After all, he was a person who had been on the battlefield and had made great contributions on the battlefield. How could he be so scared that he could not sleep because of a small thief?
She was just joking with him, telling him that she was in a good state and that there was no need to be so nervous.
Seeing that MO Ruyue was still in the mood to joke around with him, Gu Ying was relieved.
“We will be going home in two days. Do you have anything to pack? You can slowly pack in these two days.”
If there’s anything you haven’t prepared yet, tell me and I’ll help you prepare it. ‘
Before leaving, MO Ruyue could not avoid going into the palace to check on Imperial Concubine Li. She might have to stay in the palace for the next two days, so she would not have time to prepare her own things.
In a while, she would go to Shuntian Prefecture to take a look personally.
“I don’t have much to prepare. I was thinking of buying more gifts for my family. Look at the rewards I’ve received from the Palace. I can’t even pull a carriage home. I’ll probably have to ask the Xue Family’s Bodyguard Agency to come.”
Those things were given to her by the Imperial Court, so she couldn’t sell them, but she could definitely use them. Moreover, MO Ruyue had the right to control them herself.
She could not use so much by herself, and the things given to her were not bad. If she spent money to buy bad things to take home, she would not burn money. Giving things from the Palace would be more prestigious, right?
After breakfast, Gu Ying went out.
Granny Yan and Granny Rong brought a few maidservants and knelt down in front of MO Ruyue.
“What are you doing?
“This servant failed to protect her master. Princess, please punish me!” Granny Rong spoke on behalf of the others, and the others followed suit and kowtowed.
MO Ruyue wondered what was going on.
“Get up quickly. I can’t blame you for this. Even if you were by my side at that time, something like this would definitely have happened.”
She truly felt that way. Moreover, these two nannies and several maidservants did not know how to fight. Even if they were by her side at that time, they might have fallen off the bridge with her.
After last night’s incident, MO Ruyue hated staying in this place where the good and the bad mixed together and cheated each other even more.
This place was bustling, but she still felt that her small mountain village was more comfortable.
They didn’t have to scheme against each other, eat whatever they wanted to eat, talk however they wanted, and eat melon seeds whenever they wanted.
Even the Emperor treated her well, but she didn’t like to have to pay respects to them every two or three days.
The Emperor had already pardoned her, but power was supreme, and there were still so many people who did not like her. She tried her best to behave herself and put on an appearance. She felt that it was quite aggrieved to do such hypocritical things against her heart.
Therefore, she was only suitable for West River Village.
As the saying goes, if there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will be king. She was willing to be a monkey in Xihe Village, and she did not want to be a phoenix in a cage in Beijing.
The nannies and maidservants didn’t expect MO Ruyue to be so easy to talk to. They knew that their master was a good person. Even though she sometimes didn’t treat rules as rules and didn’t like to be bound by them, they felt that it wasn’t a good idea. They had to put aside all these and follow this master.
“You guys haven’t eaten breakfast either, right? Hurry up and take turns to eat breakfast. I might be entering the Palace soon.”
MO Ruyue’s tone was unquestionable, and the nannies and maidservants did not dare to resist. They all stood up and went to eat breakfast.
The breakfast they ate was not much different from what MO Ruyue ate. MO Ruyue had told Jiayao that she had to watch the people around her cook for her, not just for her.
Since then, Jiayao had been making more and more food, and MO Ruyue couldn’t finish it all by herself. She would only have a bowl of porridge in the morning with a few buns, dumplings, and some fruits. She would always leave a lot for them to eat.
Every time Jiayao tried to persuade the nannies to cook less, the two nannies would also probe MO Ruyue, but MO Ruyue would still say that she should cook more and not less.
In fact, they all knew that the princess had deliberately made too much for them to eat.
This was not the only good thing that had been revealed unintentionally. They were very lucky to have met such a good master, so they became more and more loyal to Mo Ruyue.
When they first arrived, they had a wait-and-see attitude towards MO Ruyue. They even felt disdain for her. They thought that she was just a village woman, and they were unwilling to be her slaves.
But after getting along, they gradually fell in love with this master. Instead, they felt that this kind of master was better.
With the Princess’s true nature, she was much easier to serve than those who liked to beat around the bush.
Every time, they were the ones who scared themselves to the point of being on tenterhooks. In fact, ever since they followed Princess Ming Yue, the princess had never given them any face or asked them to do anything overboard. There was even less beating and scolding. They even ate and drank well every day. There was no better master like this.
MO Ruyue didn’t know how the servants were feeling, but at the end of the day, MO Ruyue was indeed summoned into the Palace.
MO Ruyue had already tidied herself up and followed the eunuch into the palace.
On the way, she heard many people discussing the matter of the Liu family’s Di daughter.
They were all rumors that were not good for the Liu family.
Liu family’s Di daughter was a vicious person who persecuted Princess Ming
Yue? Liu family’s Di daughter colluded with a thief to harm Princess Ming Yue?
Liu family’s Di daughter was drenched in water and carried into Shuntian Prefecture, and so on and so forth. in any case, the reputation of the Liu family’s Di daughter was gone.
MO Ruyue listened to the rumors on the street. No matter what) the Liu family was the Empress’ direct line of descent. No ordinary person would dare to spread such gossip.
Even if the Empress was banished to the Cold Palace, there were still a few powerful people in the Liu family who were quite useful in front of the Emperor.
As for whether it was real or fake, or if it was used by the emperor to stabilize the people, that was unknown..
