62: What are the kids going to do?

A person suddenly appeared before her. Shangguan Yuexi was startled and quickly shielded Nangong Yu in her arms.

But after recognizing the person, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Aunt Cui, why are you here?"

That's right, the person who arrived was Cui Zhu!

Cui Zhu was the first to follow Ji Ziyu, and was the personal Servant Girl Ji Ziyu brought with her. Her Spiritual Root is excellent, and she is now a Late Stage Calamity Destruction Realm Cultivator!

She is incomparable to Chun Mei, who is still just a small chicken in the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm even after decades!

Cui Zhu smiled. "I was watching the whole time. When I saw you following, I came over to say hello."

"I see. Thank you, Aunt Cui!"

Shangguan Yuexi nodded slightly, understanding that as the second-in-command of Shouxian Palace, it was natural for Cui Zhu to frequently monitor the situation within the palace.

In that case, had she been worrying too much?

Cui Zhu smiled slightly, looked at Nangong Yu, and said, "The Little Prince's actions today possess some of your Royal Father's demeanor from back then. Very good!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Aunt Cui!" Nangong Yu scratched his head and smiled, but inwardly he was unimpressed.

If he had truly played normally, those people would have long since been brutally beaten by Ying Mei.

The kind that leaves them half-dead and half-crippled!

"Alright, I won't chat with you any longer. Chun Mei and the others have been restrained by me. Afterward, I will truthfully report to the Empress Dowager, and everything will await the Empress Dowager's decree!"

"This..."

Hearing Cui Zhu's words, Shangguan Yuexi was slightly stunned and quickly said, "Aunt Cui, Yuer was just joking. It shouldn't be so serious, right?"

Cui Zhu shook her head. "Your Highness, the Little Prince was joking, but every word he said was reasonable. Chun Mei and the others cannot escape this crime."

"Furthermore, relying on the Empress Dowager backing her these past few years, Chun Mei has committed quite a few mistakes. It is time for her to learn a lesson."

Hearing this, Shangguan Yuexi nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Cui Zhu nodded slightly to the three of them, then turned and left.

Seeing that Shangguan Yuexi's expression was off, Nangong Yu couldn't help but cautiously ask, "Mother, did Yuer do something wrong?"

"No!"

Shangguan Yuexi quickly shook her head and smiled. "Yuer did absolutely right. Qing Ling is your person, and you asked her to carry you out. It was not wrong for you to protect her when trouble arose!"

"Then why doesn't Mother look very happy?"

Shangguan Yuexi shook her head and gently stroked Nangong Yu's head. "It's nothing. Mother is just thinking about something. Yuer doesn't need to worry!"

Nangong Yu nodded, half-understanding, and didn't ask any more questions... Time flew by, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Since that day, Nangong Yu had never seen Chun Mei or the others again in Shouxian Palace.

They seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth!

No one saw them alive, and no corpse was found. Everyone else in Shouxian Palace acted as if they didn't know them, and everything continued to operate normally!

Nangong Yu knew, however, that they were dead!

When he heard Ying Mei report this news, he was somewhat surprised and gained a deeper impression of the cruelty of this world.

During the seven days, only two major events stirred people's hearts and attracted countless attention.

The first was the Northern Expeditionary Army sweeping and occupying the area south of Longxing Pass in the Beichuan Empire, holding Longxing Pass, which infuriated the Beichuan Empire!

This was a joyous occasion celebrated throughout the entire Qingyou Empire, sweeping away previous worries.

The second was that three Empires—Eastern Flame, Silver Moon, and Western Mist—sent delegations to visit the Qingyou Empire, arriving yesterday at the Qingyou Imperial City.

Although they claimed to be friendly visits, no one knew their true intentions. It was possible they were scouting the situation or plotting mischief.

This was also a major event that affected the hearts of the Clear Serenity citizens, drawing widespread attention.

Furthermore, Nangong Yu gained an additional Servant Girl.

Qing Ling!

After Nangong Aotian learned of Nangong Yu's remarks from Empress Dowager Ji Ziyu, he simply waved his hand and gave Qing Ling to Nangong Yu to be his Servant Girl!

Qing Ling had no choice but to obey the arrangement of His Majesty the Emperor and accept her new identity!

Of course, she was also willing to do this!

However, the title of Servant Girl was false; being Nangong Yu's nanny was the truth!

After all, Nangong Yu was very young, and she needed to take care of his daily life, teach him reading and writing, and so on.

If this wasn't a nanny, what was it?

Early morning.

Nangong Yu slowly got out of bed and dressed and washed under Qing Ling's care.

As for his Mother, Shangguan Yuexi, she had already gone to prepare the Body Tempering Medicinal Cuisine for him.

She did not hand this task over to Qing Ling, mainly because, as a mother, she wanted to do something for Nangong Yu.

Of course, it was also because Qing Ling was completely ignorant about Cultivation and medicinal cuisine, so it wasn't suitable to entrust it to her!

"Yuer, your Imperial Uncle just sent someone to notify me that he will be hosting a banquet tonight at the Hall of Supreme Harmony to entertain the delegations from the three Empires, and he wants me to bring you along to see it!"

Nangong Yu had just sat down when Shangguan Yuexi walked over, holding the medicinal cuisine.

Hearing this, Nangong Yu was slightly startled. "Why should a child like me go?"

Shangguan Yuexi smiled slightly. "Compared to other half-year-old infants, my Yuer appears much smarter and more nimble, and your mind is extremely clear. Your Imperial Uncle probably wants you to broaden your horizons!"

Nangong Yu blinked slightly, feeling somewhat speechless and amused internally. He wanted to keep a low profile!

Just because of the Chun Mei incident, people now think he is too smart?

But it was still acceptable. At least it wasn't something overly outstanding and feared, like a Cultivation Spiritual Root!

"It's fine, don't feel too pressured. It's just a banquet!"

Shangguan Yuexi stroked Nangong Yu's little head, smiled, and said, "Alright, eat the Body Tempering Medicinal Cuisine first!"

"Okay!"

Nangong Yu nodded, calmly accepting his Mother's feeding, his small face full of smiles.

Before long, after finishing the medicinal cuisine, Nangong Yu continued learning characters with Qing Ling.

Of course, Qing Ling was teaching, and he was watching, but only he knew what he was truly watching!

Unconsciously, time passed quickly, and it soon reached the Shen Hour in the afternoon.

Nangong Yu was focused on watching Qing Ling teach when he saw Nangong Ruo Xue walk straight in. Behind her were Nangong Ruoshui and Nangong Jingqi.

"Sisters, why are you here?"

Seeing the three arrive, Nangong Yu jumped down and ran over to hug Nangong Ruo Xue's leg.

"Little Prince, slow down!"

Qing Ling called out worriedly, stood up, and bowed slightly. "Servant Girl greets the two Princesses, and greets the Eldest Prince!"

"No need for formalities!"

Nangong Ruo Xue waved her hand, picked up Nangong Yu, and said, "Little Yu, I haven't seen you in days. Did you miss your Sister?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu blinked slightly and nodded. "Yes, I did!"

Nangong Ruo Xue smiled slightly and chuckled, "That's good. I got the answer I wanted to hear. Sister missed you too. If I hadn't been busy these past few days, I would have come to see you sooner!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yu asked curiously, "Oh, what were you busy with these past few days, Sister?"
