"Nanny Wu daringly covered my mouth by herself, almost rendering me unable to speak. Is this not insubordination?!" Ye Qichi asked Qingyuan, pausing between each word.
Although lying down, and even covered in blood, Ye Qichi's presence at that moment was chilling.
What makes this woman have the gall to confront her like this!
"This servant was just anxious earlier, I didn't intend to cover Princess Chén's mouth. I was only worried about Princess Chén's frail body, fearing she might hurt herself." Nanny Wu, who had been kneeling all along, hurriedly explained.
Having been in the palace for many years, Nanny Wu wouldn't have survived around the Empress without being clever, even becoming the favorite in the Empress' eyes.
Upon hearing Nanny Wu's explanation, Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Almost cornered by Ye Qichi's accusation, fortunately, Nanny Wu was shrewd enough to come up with an excuse to exculpate herself.
