Translator: 549690339

After hearing Lu Ningxiang’s new description, Jiang Beiran did not know if he should euphemistically call her naive or bluntly call her stupid.

According to Lu Ningxiang, the nanny had watched her grow up and had given her the most care.

But none of that mattered.

She actually believed that a single nanny could think of a way to send her out of the palace, even though she had emphasized twice that her nanny had a wide network in the palace.

However, the problem was that this palace was not the same palace as before.

Princess, times have changed.

Back then, you were still a high and mighty princess in the palace. Now, you’re just a prisoner under house arrest. Can you compare?

However, no matter how Jiang Beiran ridiculed her, Lu Ningxiang had believed everything that had happened. She believed that the nanny had risked her life to send her out of the palace, until Jiang Beiran told her that there was something wrong with the sachet she was carrying.

It could be said that Lu Ningxiang was unwilling to believe that this sachet was the reason why people could always find her. However, the truth was that after the sachet was taken away, her whereabouts were not so easily discovered.

The reason why she did not want to believe it was naturally because this sachet was given to her by the wet nurse before she left. She said that it was something that the temple had asked for and that it could keep her safe.

While they were talking about this, Lu Ningxiang’s mood had been very low because even the person she trusted the most in this world had lied to her. Who should she trust in the future?

“So your nanny also knows that you know where your father’s treasure vault

Lu Ningxiang was silent for a moment before replying, “Yes, so when that sachet was taken away by you, I knew why I was the only one who could escape from the palace. They just wanted me to help them find the location of my father’s treasure vault.”

Jiang Beiran shook his head.” You’re underestimating your uncles and aunts too much.”

Lu Ningxiang blinked and asked in confusion,””Could it be…lsn’t it?”

After throwing some herbs into the pot that had boiled again, Jiang Beiran covered the lid again and tight do you think your mouth can be?” Lu Ningxiang, who understood the meaning behind his words, clenched her fists and said,’”‘Although the sect has completely changed…But they wouldn’t torture me.”

“It’s true that they might not be able to spare their hands now, but when everything is settled, do you think they will still be so gentle to you? Moreover, to get information out of you, torture is not the only method that can be used.” “Then…Then why did they let me out?”

“There are many reasons. First of all, your father is just missing, right?”

Lu Ningxiang’s expression darkened.” Although he’s missing, I think that if Father was still alive, he wouldn’t have left us alone.”

Lu Ningxiang’s meaning was very simple. Although she said that her father was missing, she was already certain that something had happened to him.

“Sigh.” Jiang Beiran slapped his forehead.” Can’t you think of your Imperial Father better?’”‘

After hearing this, Lu Ningxiang subconsciously wanted to retort, but she quickly raised her head in surprise and said, “Sir, do you think my Imperial Father is still alive?”

“If your father really died, do you think your family would still be under house arrest in the palace?”

“This…” Lu Ningxiang did not know how to answer for a moment, but then she said, “However, ever since my brother ascended the throne, many people in the sect have shown their desire to get rid of him…”

Before Lu Ningxiang could finish, Jiang Beiran interrupted him, “”Then is your brother still sitting on the throne?”

“Yes.”

“Isn’t that right? You already said that they only dare to think about it and didn’t really make a move. Then why do you think they don’t dare to make a move?”

Lu Ningxiang’s eyes lit up.””Because they are not sure if Father is dead or not!”

“Well, at least you didn’t die of stupidity.”

“I…” Lu Ningxiang wanted to retort, but when she thought about how she did not even understand such a simple logic, she lowered her head again. However, when she thought about how her father might not be dead yet, her mood improved a lot.

At this moment, Jiang Beiran lifted the lid of the pot and scooped out a bowl of slightly blackened medicinal soup. He handed it to Lu Ningxiang and said,””Drink this bowl of medicine. Your current physical condition is still very bad. ”

Jiang Beiran wanted to help Lu Ningxiang not only because he felt that it was the system’s choice, but also because the princess had a very kind heart.

Her body condition was so bad that it was definitely not something that could be done in a day or two. She estimated that she had been hiding in the mountains for a week, but in such a desperate situation, she still endured until she could not bear it anymore before asking for help.

This was just like the last time she left quietly in the middle of the night. If possible, this princess really did not want to involve him in this trouble that was very likely to be shattered.

“Thank you.” Lu Ningxiang took a sip of the decoction from the teacher and frowned.

She had always been afraid of taking medicine since she was young. Every time, it was the nanny who would take turns to cheer her up with more than ten palace maids. However, when she recalled those originally warm scenes, Lu Ningxiang did not smile at all.

She took a deep breath and gulped down the entire bowl of medicinal soup. The medicine was still bitter, but it was nothing compared to what she had

experienced recently..
