Chapter 691: Behind the SceneBang!
Thrown to the ground roughly, Nan Xin felt her body hurt so much. She looked at the closing gate in front of her and struggled to stand up."No! Please don't…"
Bang!
The gate was closed and Nan Xin's outstretched hand could only hold onto the hard door. Tears streamed out on the corner of her eyes as she struggled to stand up. Her appearance was so haggard that one wouldn't believe if she said that she was a noble child.
How?
How could it be possible?
Nan Xin was absolutely sure that she had switched the pouch right after Nan Hua hung it on her hips. After that, there was no chance for Nan Hua to switch the pouch anymore because Nan Xin stayed far away from Nan Hua.
Did she switch it when she was still holding the pouch in her hand?
How was it possible?
Nan Xin didn't understand and all she could do was to cry and bawled her eyes out. Blood trickled from her open wounds as no one bothered to treat her at all when she was inside. Now that she was outside, she struggled to stand up.
Her face was definitely ruined.
Thinking of how she had laughed so hard when she saw Shangguan Die's miserable appearance back then, Nan Xin felt her heart turned cold. She knew for sure that if she didn't get immediate treatment, her fate might be worse than that.
She couldn't accept it.
No.
"Miss!"
Nan Xin's servants were terrified when they saw Nan Xin's appearance. They hurriedly helped their Miss up to bring her back. At this moment, they knew that Nan Xin's future in the palace was basically over.
They could only hope that Nan Xin could recover her face.
As her servants, they would suffer if their miss didn't end well.
…
Nan Hua curtsied towards Empress Dowager Yan and Empress Dowager Mei, thanking them for clearing her name.
All this time, she had only said several sentences in one go and it was others who did the rest. However, it was all that was needed for her to seal Nan Xin's fate while keeping her hands clean.
Many lamented how lucky she was.
Nan Xin tried to harm Nan Hua, but the one who got the retribution was Nan Xin. And that was without the need for Nan Hua to do anything.
Of course, they wouldn't want to be put in Nan Hua's position.
Not at all.
"Imperial Sister, I would like to excuse myself first." Empress Dowager Mei was not feeling that well to stay here and make a joke out of herself. She would rather stay away from this place as far as possible so that she would not be dragged into any other mess.
Empress Dowager Yan nodded. "Imperial Sister should rest well. Please take care."
The two of them exchanged some 'loving' words before Empress Dowager Mei left. The other girls also wished Empress Dowager Mei well and painted their words as beautiful as possible. Even though they knew that they didn't really mean what they said, their expression and tone seemed as if they genuinely wanted it from the bottom of their heart.
