Chapter 284: Xiao Nanye’s Oath

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Yes, I still have Zhen Er.”

Zhen Er was the nickname of the seventeenth princess, who is also the only child of the Empress.

Having been in the palace for so many years, the Empress understands better than Jiang Peihuan how hard it is for a child without a mother to survive in this place.

Most women turn fierce when it comes to their children. The previously despondent Empress, after thinking of her daughter, had her spirits instantly lifted.

Looking at Jiang Peihuan, the Empress whispered, “Huan Er, did you say the poison in me can be cured?”

“Yes.”

“The poison in Your Royal Highness can be cured, but since you’ve been poisoned for a long time, curing it will also take a while.”

“No matter how long it takes, 1 can wait.”

As she spoke these words, determination shone in the eyes of the Empress.

Calculating the time, Jiang Peihuan removed all the silver needles from the Empress.

Upon the removal of the needles, the Empress felt much more comfortable.

If she had any doubts about Jiang Peihuan’s medical skills before, this incident made her trust Jiang Peihuan completely.

Looking at Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye by her bedside, the Empress continued, “Nanye, don’t tell this to your imperial brother.”

“Imperial Sister-in-law wants to protect the Li family.”

“I’m not protecting the Li family, I’m protecting myself.”

Hearing the Empress’s words, Xiao Nanye fell silent. After a few seconds, he nodded, “Rest assured, I won’t say a word.”

The Empress smiled and turned to look at Jiang Peihuan.

Meeting the Empress ‘gaze, Jiang Peihuan said directly, “Your Royal Majesty, 1 can secretly work on the curing your poison.”

“Huan Er, you’ve done me a great favor. If not for you discovering that I was poisoned, I might have lost my life.”

Jiang Peihuan could clearly feel that the Empress was becoming more amicable towards her, evident from her address.

Regardless of the Empress’s words, Jiang Peihuan simply replied softly, “It’s my duty.”

But no matter what the Empress said, Jian Peihuan only replied softly,” This is what I should do.”

After today’s events, the Empress was emotionally overwhelmed.

After a brief chat, she let Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye leave.

Soon after, Jiang Peihuan left the palace with generous rewards.

Returning to the Cheng mansion, Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye entered their room.

Though she’d seen it for days, every time she entered the room, Jiang Peihuan felt as if she was back in the plum garden.

“You’ve been running around all day, are you tired?”

As she sat down, Jiang Peihuan saw Xiao Nanye offering her a cup of hot water.

Accepting the cup from him, Jiang Peihuan shook her head, “I’m not tired.”

After Xiao Nanye sat beside her, she looked at him, “After 1 left, did the Great Empress Dowager do anything to you?”

Jiang Peihuan distinctly remembered the murderous intent in the Great Empress Dowager’s eyes when she left the palace.

While in the palace, she couldn’t ask, but now back at home, she couldn’t help but voice her concern.

Casually playing with his cup, Xiao Nanye said calmly, “In the palace, she wouldn’t dare do anything to me. For a while, she probably won’t dare either.” “Why?”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan instinctively questioned, her eyes filled with doubt.

Seeing her puzzled look, Xiao Nanye briefly explained the matter of the Great Empress Dowager having another son.

Upon hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Jiang Peihuan was utterly shocked.

She hadn’t heard of this matter in her previous life.

Seeing Xiao Nanye’s calm demeanor, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but say, “Now, the Great Empress Dowager probably hates you even more.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, a mocking look appeared in Xiao Nanye’s eyes, “Even without this, she would’ve hated me.”

“Xiao Nanye, when did you find out about your origins?”

“Did Rong Mo tell you about my background?”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan nod, a complex emotion appeared in Xiao Nanye’s eyes.

When the man remained silent, Jiang Peihuan also held her tongue.

After a long time, Jiang Peihuan heard the man’s voice, “I knew about my origins from a very young age.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan frowned.

Xiao Nanye continued, “I think I was three years old when my mother told me. She told me that 1 wasn’t the child of the emperor.”

Jiang Peihuan didn’t know much about Xiao Nanye’s birth mother, only that she was the most beloved woman of the previous emperor. However, she couldn’t understand why she would reveal such a secret to her son at a young age. Wasn’t she afraid that young Xiao Nanye might blurt it out? Or did she simply not care?

Jiang Peihuan looked puzzled, but Xiao Nanye’s expression returned to normal. He looked at her and changed the subject, “Tomorrow, 1’11 accompany you to the General’s Mansion.”

“Okay.”

The visit had been postponed due to Xiao Nanye’s poisoning.

Thinking about the poisoning, Jiang Peihuan instinctively checked his pulse.

After letting go of Xiao Nanye’s hand, she said, “The poison in your body has been temporarily suppressed, but it’s just a matter of time. I still need to find a way to expel the poison from your body.”

“Take your time, don’t rush.”

Hearing his words, Jiang Peihuan was a bit speechless.

It seemed as if Xiao Nanye didn’t care that he was the one poisoned.

As the night deepened, Jiang Peihuan lay down.

The room was still awash in red.

Even the blanket was bright red.

It felt as if it was their wedding night.

She didn’t feel it earlier, but now lying on the bed, she realized she was now married, she was now a wife.

“Huan Er?”

Just as she was lost in thought, she heard Xiao Nanye’s voice.

She turned instinctively, but was momentarily stunned by the sight.

Xiao Nanye had just finished washing up. His hair was loose, cascading down his back. He wore only a white shirt, loosely tied, revealing his collarbone.

The sight reminded her of that night in the secret chamber of the Western Region palace.

“Huan Er, I’ve never felt as content as 1 do at this moment.”

Xiao Nanye was now lying next to her. As he lay down, he wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close.

Leaning against him, she could hear his heartbeat clearly..
