Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Nanny Ku Yun thought for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said in a seemingly respectful manner, “It’s a good thing that the sixth princess loves the thirteenth princess. As a servant, I should naturally listen to the sixth princess’s orders. However, the empress had instructed me to look after the thirteenth princess and not let her get hurt. This old servant is worried that if things go wrong, the empress will blame this old servant. Sixth Princess, neither you nor this old servant can afford such a responsibility.”
Gong Lingyu had long guessed that Nanny Ku Yun was not that easy to deal with. She had never liked dealing with such a sharp and unkind old woman. She tried her best to smile and was about to refute when she heard Zhan Liuye’s voice.
“You can’t bear the responsibility, but you have the courage to offend the sixth princess? You’re simply too bold. Since you’re like this, I should also report to His Majesty and the empress dowager to see how you will bear the responsibility of offending the princess.” Zhan Liuye said with a fake smile. As he spoke, his eyes swept over Nanny Ku Yun like sharp blades.
The hair on Nanny Ku Yun’s back immediately stood on end from Zhan Liuye’s berating. She hurriedly cupped her hands in obeisance, “This old servant doesn’t dare to. Young master Liuye, please show mercy…”
Who did not know Zhan Liuye’s position in the palace? Not to mention, he was the only son of Imperial Duke Zhan. In addition, the empress dowager doted on the sixth princess. If this matter were to blow up, even the empress might not be able to protect Ku Yun.
Nanny Ku Yun was not an idiot. She knew very well who she could offend and who she could not.
However, even though Zhan Liuye had a lot of power and authority, he was never one to meddle in other people’s business. Even Gong Lingyu was surprised to see him speak up for her.
“I’m not the one you should be pleading mercy to.” As Zhan Liuye spoke, his clear eyes swept across the air to Gong Lingyu.
Gong Lingyu also came back to her senses and cleared her throat. “Nanny Ku
Yun, what do you think of this matter?”
Nanny Ku Yun could not help but doubt her life after being rebuked by the two of them.
What else could she think? She would only continue to talk back to the two people in front of her if she did not want to live.
Nanny Ku Yun’s legs gave way and she knelt in front of Gong Lingyu. “Please forgive me, Your Highness. I was just anxious and concerned about the safety of the thirteenth princess. I didn’t mean to offend you. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time.”
“Sister, I don’t want to be with her!” I’m sorry, ” the thirteenth princess said hurriedly. She looked up at Gong Lingyu like a frightened deer.
Gong Lingyu looked at her sister and naturally felt her heart ache. “Alright, I agree. Nanny Ku Yun, you may be spared from death, but you can’t escape punishment. I share punish you to stay in the carriage alone and reflect on your mistakes. Without my orders, you are not allowed to get off.”
Nanny Ku Yun’s expression turned ugly, but she still forced a smile on her face. She looked at the thirteenth princess and said, “This old servant naturally does not dare to disobey the sixth princess’ orders. However, before the thirteenth princess left, the empress had also specifically instructed the thirteenth princess not to leave this old servant’s side. This old servant is worried that the thirteenth princess will not be able to bear to leave this old servant ….”
