Wanyin and Wanxuan were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They quickly helped Noble Consort Qiao and Gu Nuo’er up.
Everyone in the hall was frightened and surrounded them and asked how they were.
Noble Consort Qiao still had a lingering fear. She patted Gu Nuo’er’s back gently. “Good child, Mother didn’t get hurt from the fall. Baby Nuo, don’t be afraid.”
Gu Nuo’er leaned on her mother’s shoulder, tears welling up in her eyes, making her big eyes look even clearer.
She touched Noble Consort Qiao’s glabella. “What’s wrong with Mother~”
Wanxuan went forward and frowned in worry. “Has Your Highness been too tired recently? His Majesty is going to bring everyone to the spring hunt soon.
“Your Highness will have to worry about all the matters concerning the travel arrangements for everyone in the harem. Furthermore, you haven’t slept well for the past few days. In this servant’s opinion, Your Highness should just lie down and rest well for a few days.”
Noble Consort Qiao pressed her temples and shook her head gently. “No, His Majesty is about to travel. I’ve always been headstrong and I can’t allow myself to hold him back at a time like this.
“It’s fine. I’ll be fine after getting good sleep. Get the imperial physician to prescribe me some calming medicine.”
After saying that, Noble Consort Qiao was still most worried that her daughter would be frightened.
She carried Gu Nuo’er and comforted her gently.
The child was also very obedient and lay motionless in her mother’s arms.
In the end, Wanyin and Wanxuan attended to Noble Consort Qiao as she went to sleep. Gu Nuo’er lay at the side and slowly touched her mother’s glabella.
No one saw her blue spiritual energy slowly entering Noble Consort Qiao’s body.
It helped her disperse the black fog and clear her meridians.
Noble Consort Qiao felt an inexplicable comfort. After a while, she held Gu Nuo’er’s small hand and fell asleep.
After this situation, Gu Nuo’er was very clear.
This was the aura left behind by an evil creature. It was equivalent to a mark.
Since it dared to tamper with her mother, it would definitely come back.
Gu Nuo’er decided not to go anywhere. She would just sit here and wait for it!
The child wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and instructed calmly, “Elder Sister Wanyin, go and find the imperial physician uncle to prescribe medicine for Mother. When Mother wakes up, give it to her to drink.
“Elder Sister Wanxuan, go outside and keep watch. If anyone comes to visit Mother, just say that Mother is sleeping with Baby Nuo and ask them to come back later.”
Noble Consort Qiao had always been a headstrong person and would definitely not want others to know that she wasn’t feeling well.
Wanyin and Wanxuan nodded and quickly did as Gu Nuo’er instructed.
When only Noble Consort Qiao and Gu Nuo’er were left in the room, the child sat on the bed and closed her eyes slightly.
She released her spiritual energy and used an overwhelming method to trace the aura left behind by the black fog to search for suspicious targets in the palace.
Suddenly, she heard the laughter of a child.
Gu Nuo’er frowned slightly.
Her spiritual senses arrived at a remote and cold palace that was covered in withered grass.
There was a woman with her back facing Gu Nuo’er and her appearance couldn’t be seen clearly. The woman was only digging under the tree and muttering—
“Noble Consort Qiao, aren’t you proud to have a daughter? You like children a lot, right? I’ll give you this big gift!”
Gu Nuo’er looked up and saw a small plaque hanging on the door. It said ‘Xiechun Pavilion’.
The child’s breathing suddenly changed from slow back to its regular pace.
When she opened her eyes again, there were faint blue ripples in her originally black and bright eyes.
The ripples spread out, filled with intelligence.
To think that Beauty Su actually came with ill intentions.
The child waited until nighttime and used the excuse of being sleepy to not let the palace maid light the lamp.
She quietly watched over her mother until a droplet fell and made a ‘da’ sound.
“Hehe.” The strange laughter of a child sounded again.
