411 Great Modification

When she saw Ning Yue’s face, she subconsciously screamed.

Ning Yue was shocked by this sudden situation. The woman was pointing at her face in horror and asking, “Are you Liu Fang?”

Ning Yue frowned. Liu Fang was her adoptive mother’s name. Her adoptive mother had just regained her memories not long ago. The people around her did not know her real name at all and thought that her name was He Lan.

“No, you’re Liu Yun. You’re Liu Yun!” the woman screamed in fear.

!!

Looking at the woman, Ning Yue was suddenly very curious. This woman knew her adoptive and biological mother.

However, her adoptive mother and biological mother were not biological sisters. Logically speaking, they should not look alike. Why could this woman tell their appearances from her face?

Ning Yue approached the woman step by step. “I’m Liu Yun and also Liu Fang. I died so miserably.”

The woman exploded when she heard that. “Don’t come over. Don’t come over.”

Ning Yue was about to learn something from this woman when she realized that someone was walking over from afar. She hurriedly hid in the rockery not far away.

The person who came was a eunuch from the palace. When he saw the woman sitting on the ground, he shook his head in fear and quickly went forward to help the woman up. “Your Highness, what’s wrong?”

The woman looked at the eunuch in horror and held his hand. “I saw Liu Yun. No, I saw Liu Fang. No, it was Liu Yun. No, no, no, it was Liu Fang.”

The eunuch frowned. The woman’s incoherent statement would attract the attention of others.

He quickly comforted the woman. “Your Highness, it’s fine. I’m here. No one can hurt you.”

The woman gradually came back to her senses under the eunuch’s comfort. She looked around warily. “Eunuch, send someone to search this place. Someone was indeed here just now!”

“Yes, I’ll get right on it,” the eunuch said.

After Ning Yue heard this, she looked at the woman deeply and turned to leave under the cover of the rockery.

When she arrived at the imperial garden, she saw the Empress Dowager looking at the lush flowers in the flowerbed with a frown.

“Imperial Grandmother,” Ning Yue called out.

The Empress Dowager thought that some lord had come to pay his respects. She waved her hand, indicating that she had heard him.

Soon, the Empress Dowager realized that something was wrong. When she looked up and saw Ning Yue, she was immediately overjoyed.

“Yueyue, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for so long.” As the empress dowager spoke, she kept sizing up Ning Yue and looking behind her.

Ning Yue knew that the empress dowager was thinking about the two children. She smiled and said to the empress dowager, “Imperial Grandmother, I rushed here. I was worried that the two children would not be able to take it, so I didn’t bring them along. My family will bring them to the capital later.”

“Oh.” Disappointment flashed across the empress dowager’s face.

However, she was already very gratified that Ning Yue could enter the palace to visit her. “By the way, Yueyue, look at these flowers. They look very ugly after absorbing the nourishment in the imperial garden.”

Ning Yue looked in the direction the empress dowager was pointing. How were those flowers ugly? They were brightly colored and had large blooms. She could vaguely smell a trace of fragrances. Butterflies were dancing beside the flowers.

“Is it ugly?” Ning Yue frowned. It didn’t seem ugly.

“Of course it’s ugly. It’s not as good-looking as my potatoes. A few days ago, I obtained some vegetable seeds from outside the palace. I was wondering if I should dig out the flowers in the imperial garden.”

“In any case, the flowers in the imperial garden are very ugly. Why don’t we get rid of them?” The empress dowager said these words like a child, making Ning Yue laugh.

“Imperial Grandmother, you’re the Empress Dowager. Isn’t it up to you where you want to plant vegetables? It’s just a small imperial garden. You don’t have to be so troubled,” Ning Yue said.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she was overjoyed. That’s right, she was the Empress Dowager! Who would dare to stop the Empress Dowager from planting vegetables?

The Empress Dowager ordered some people to pluck the flowers in the imperial garden, some people to bring the tools for growing vegetables, and a small number of people to fetch water.

Planting vegetables? It was such a simple matter. The empress dowager settled it in the morning.

When Jiang Ying and the crown prince arrived and saw the situation in the imperial garden, they were stunned.
