Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder's Self-Redemption (2)[MTL]

Chapter 52: A Few Things About the Little Emperor

Qiming slept until noon before getting up. He opened the window and looked at the blue sky outside. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and stretch. The cool and clear autumn season was his favorite. Every time he saw such a sky, he always felt open-minded. It seemed that as long as he took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, he could wash away the fatigue in his body.

　　After instructing Chang Yuan to bring the prepared lunch, Qiming washed up and started eating. Because the house had been closed to visitors recently, and the weather had become much cooler, Qiming always walked around the yard with his hair disheveled and in a middle-length coat. If it were someone else, they would definitely lose their image. But Qiming did not give people a sloppy feeling at all, but instead had a lazy beauty, which was completely opposite to his usual cool and clear temperament like the bright moon. At this time, he was more like a lazy cat.

　　After lunch, Qiming went to see Zhang Xi. After more than a month of recuperation, Zhang Xi's external injuries had basically healed, with only the bones still slowly healing. He seemed to have changed a lot. Although he had a hard life in the past, he never resented anything and had a simple and kind temperament. But now he has become taciturn and spends most of the day in a daze. Only when he sees Qiming will he smile as warmly as before. Qiming knows that Zhang Xi has a mental illness and he can't help because they are the same. He can only rely on himself to get through this hurdle, cure his mental illness, and have the courage to live.

　　After leaving Zhang Xi, Qiming went straight back to his bedroom. He wanted to continue sleeping because he planned to familiarize himself with the secret passage under the Regent's Palace at night. After that, he would go to the secret prison to check whether Nalan Xue was imprisoned in the secret prison.

　　"Young Master." Xu Wu bowed and saluted.

　　Qiming raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Wu and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

　　Xu Wu replied, "News came from Lanyuan that Nanny Tian, ​​the Nanny who was slapped by the young master last time, was ordered by the princess to be expelled from the palace."

　　Qiming was a little surprised and said, "Do you know what happened? I remember you said she was the princess's dowry nanny, how could she be kicked out of the palace so seriously?"

　　"I don't know about this. I heard from the servants in Lan Garden that Nanny Tian asked to see the princess yesterday, saying that she had something very important to report to her. It is said that the princess and Nanny Tian stayed in the room for a long time, and then Nanny Tian was driven out of the palace. As for why, I am afraid only the princess and Nanny Tian know."

　　"What time was it yesterday?"

　　"My Lord, it happened around the end of noon, after the princess had taken her lunch break."

　　"After Nanny Tian, ​​did the princess summon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

　　"My Lord, after Nanny Tian was kicked out of the house, the princess did summon the Crown Prince. How did you know about this?"

　　Qiming couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He had basically guessed why Nanny Tian was kicked out of the palace. He didn't answer but asked, "Did you hear anything important yesterday that was worth Nanny Tian telling the princess?"

　　Xu Wu thought for a moment and said, "Although our Zhuyuan is closed, we are well-informed. I didn't hear what happened."

　　"Oh? How could it be? This important event happened right in our Bamboo Garden."

　　"Yesterday, yesterday..." Xu Wu suddenly had an idea and opened his eyes wide. He said, "Sir, are you talking about the incident when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed overnight in the Bamboo Garden yesterday?"
