Chapter 243 - So The Old Nanny Was Sent By ...

Late at night, An Si had come out of his room to lighten his stomach.

When had he thought that he would see the annoying nanny serving by Princess Wenling's side sneaking out of the Courtyard?

The answer was never.

The need of lightening his stomach went out of the window and he instantly started to follow the nanny.

For the past few days, An Si had seen the nanny serving by Princess Wenling's side and what he had found out was the nanny manipulated the princess.

The princess was too na?ve or he should say brainless.

It was the old nanny whose decisions she followed.

It made him shocked that a princess whom so many ladies of Xin want to follow was being manipulated by her own servant so easily.

Princess Wenling …she was the only woman in Xin who knew swordsmanship, archery and so many other things that only a few men of Xin knew. That was what An Si had heard about Princess Wenling and the same he had seen a few years ago when he had accompanied his master to take Princess Wenling from the neighboring Empire.

However, now An Si couldn't see any traces of that Princess Wenling.

The old nanny…he remembered that he had seen her by Princess's side at that time as well.

Then how did this change come only now?

This Princess Wenling had abandoned everything. She just took care of her beauty because she was being told that only by using that she could lure his master.

Tsk…An Si had tsked in pity and disgust while looking at Princess Wenling.

When his master had made Princess Wenling unconscious and when Princess Wenling woke up after that…An Si had been by Princess' side since then.

He saw how the nanny talked about Lady Li to Princess Wenling.

The nanny thought that he never paid any attention or he made the nanny believe that but An Si heard and saw everything.

Only now did An Si understand why his master wants him to find everything about this old nanny.

It was not Princess Wenling who was planning against Lady Li … instead, she was just a pawn that was being used by someone else's hands.

Someone who sent the old nanny by Princess Wenling's side.

So he tried to find out just how the old nanny started to serve Princess Wenling.

'The Empress had given the nanny to Princess Wenling at a very young age.'

An Si came to know and he couldn't agree more.

The nanny must be serving Princess Wenling since Princess was so young. He could swear on that after seeing how easily her manipulation worked on Princess.

She knew on which raw nerve she had to press to make Princess agree with herself.

However, what would Empress get after manipulating her own daughter, that too, when that manipulation was being done by a mere servant?

And he had seen the Empress was too lofty and snobbish. Her nose was too high and she looked at the servants as if they were mere ants crawling on the ground on whom she could press on with her feet whenever she wants.

She would never let a servant manipulate her own daughter.

Then what was going on?

An Si was so confused that for a moment he thought it was he who was incompetent for the job his master had given to him.

The thought of going back and telling his master that he should perhaps send anyone else instead of him had just entered his mind before he had slept.

When had he thought he would get the answer to his questions by waking up at midnight…like this?

The young Eunuch entered Princess Wenling's Courtyard at the same time he did. But the nanny favored him more. She would always give him easier work and would dump all the hard work on him.

Why?

The nanny sneaked out of Princess Wenling's Courtyard at midnight and freed the young Eunuch.

Why?

Hiding behind the wall, An Si looked at the scene in front of him with his lips twitching constantly.

"Thank you so much for your hard work, Nanny."

"Oh…you make me feel embarrassed with your words, Eunuch Wang."

Eunuch Wang…the third and last figure was none than of Eunuch Wang, the old Eunuch who served the Emperor.

"Although for a very short time, both of us had served His Majesty together somewhere in the past. Why would I refuse your request?"

Said the old nanny with a face full of smiles.

Eunuch Wang smiled tightly and then hit the head of the Young Eunuch.

"Kowtow b****d, Kowtow B****d, Do I even need to tell you to do that?"

He said while signing the young Eunuch towards the old nanny.

The rest was just some casual conversation.

But he came to know that the old nanny was given to the Empress by the Emperor himself. Then why did anyone in the Imperial Palace know about this?

Because all this happened during a visit to the neighboring Empire…a visit in which the Emperor and Empress were attacked and all of the servants, soldiers, and maids were killed.

There were still some questions in An Si's mind but he could not find any answers to them so he put them aside for now.

An Si knew that only his master would be able to find the answer to those questions.

While standing ideally, An Si suddenly remembered another figure he had seen while following the nanny.

It was Lord Yi.

An Si smiled with narrowed eyes.

He wondered just how strong Lord Yi was to sense his presence.

Last evening, he had gone to the room of records to find something about the old nanny again but he had never expected to be sensed by Lord Yi who was passing from there.

So in the end, he had to leave from there to hide himself.

At midnight, he followed the old nanny. But again he had never expected Lord Yi to keep hiding in the Imperial Palace and follow him again.

An Si could not afford to lose sight of the old nanny while following her so he had no other way except … attack Lord Yi using his whole power.

Although the activity tired him out, he, in the end, was successful in escaping from Lord Yi's eyes.

Now he wondered whether Lord Yi recognized him or not.

He again focused on the scene in front of his eyes.

This time, An SI smirked happily.

It seems that time to leave the Imperial Palace has come finally.?
