Chapter 381 Wen Yi 10
Wen Yi nodded. "Okay."
Cao Qinmo said, "Okay, let's start by drinking milk."
However, this matter needs to be done slowly; we can't rush it, lest it arouse suspicion from others.
I'll go to the imperial kitchen first and tell them to prepare some milk.
However, you can't rush things. For now, you'll have to rely on Granny Li and the others for milk.
After all, you've just recovered, and your father even specially asked Eunuch Su to send two wet nurses.
Two more palace maids came over.
Wen Yi nodded upon hearing this, wondering if these people had any backers.
Even if someone is already taken, once they're by Wen Yi's side, they can only be hers.
Wen Yi thought to herself, "Then let the wet nurses express milk into bowls for the next few days, and my daughter can drink it first."
Cao Qinmo pressed her face against Wen Yi's face.
"We've wronged Wenyi."
Wen Yi smiled and shook her head.
“Mother, Wenyi is not wronged.”
Wenyi is happy as long as she can be with her mother.
Cao Qinmo felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing Wen Yi's words, and her eyes became slightly moist.
Upon seeing this, Wen Yi quickly thought to herself...
"Mother, Wenyi would like to meet the two new wet nurses."
And those two palace maids.
Upon hearing this, Cao Qinmo quickly raised her voice.
"Yinxiu, go and fetch the two new wet nurses and two young palace maids."
Yinxiu responded and quickly led Granny Cui away.
Granny Yang, Doukou, and Dingxiang walked in.
Seeing Cao Qinmo holding Wen Yi, the four of them quickly knelt down to pay their respects.
"We, your servants, pay our respects to Your Highness and the Princess."
Cao Qinmo gestured for them to stand up and said gently.
"Get up, today I will let you meet the princess first."
The princess is currently in poor health; you will need to be extra careful when serving her in the future.
In her heart, Wen Yi imagined Cao Qinmo holding her and stroking each of their heads.
Actually, he took the opportunity to stick the loyalty charms he had prepared beforehand onto the four people.
The four of them only felt Wen Yi's small hand gently stroking their heads, but did not notice anything unusual.
Cao Qinmo thought Wen Yi wanted to get closer to the four of them.
But unexpectedly, Wen Yi thought to herself...
"Mother, could you please ask them if they had a master before and after they came to Qixiang Palace?"
Cao Qinmo didn't expect Wen Yi to ask her this question.
She had considered the possibility that these four people might be spies planted by someone else.
But she originally planned to have her people observe the four people carefully in the days to come.
Observe their words and actions for any abnormalities before making a judgment.
After all, the most important thing about eyeliner is to conceal it.
How could you so easily reveal who's behind your back?
Since Wenyi had said so, she decided to test the waters first.
Cao Qinmo composed herself slightly, looked at the four people in a calm tone, and slowly spoke:
"Granny Cui, Granny Yang,"
And cardamom, cloves, Princess, let me ask you...
Did someone assign you any tasks behind the scenes while you were serving the princess at Qixiang Palace?
Or did someone specifically instruct you to do something to the princess?
Or perhaps we could send a message from Qixiang Palace out?
If other babies as young as Princess Wenyi were to ask such questions...
They would definitely think it was a joke.
But for some reason, they didn't feel anything at all.
Princess Wenyi, who is still drinking milk, is asking such an absurd question.
It seems that as long as she is Princess Wenyi, everything she does is reasonable.
This is all because they were influenced by the Loyalty Talisman.
Their only loyal follower now is Princess Wenyi.
Some of the four of them did indeed have other masters before.
But some people have a clean record.
From the moment they were given the loyalty charm
They would definitely take the initiative to reveal their true situation.
Granny Yang spoke first, her voice slightly nervous yet firm:
"Your Highness, I was originally assigned here by the Imperial Household Department."
But my cousin works in the Empress Dowager's palace.
What happened in the palace before?
I would always find an opportunity to tell my cousin, and she would give me some pointers.
Cao Qinmo never expected that someone would actually reveal the person behind her.
When he heard that the person behind Granny Yang was actually the Empress Dowager, his heart skipped a beat.
In Wen Yi's dream, she died at the hands of the Empress Dowager.
Unexpectedly, the wet nurse chosen by the Emperor through Eunuch Su was actually one of the Empress Dowager's people.
This is truly chilling!
But why would Granny Yang just say this out loud?
They, mother and daughter, were insignificant in the eyes of the Empress Dowager.
What merit did I have to make this Granny Yang confess on her own initiative?
Cao Qinmo was filled with doubts, but on the surface she remained calm.
At this moment, Granny Cui hurriedly said:
"My lady, there is no one else behind me; I was sent by the Imperial Household Department."
Doukou also knelt down and said
"Two months ago, I was sick once, and a young eunuch gave me a packet of medicine."
They said they could cure my illness, and later, after the servant girl recovered...
He frequently contacted that young eunuch.
Later, I learned that the young eunuch was from Consort Duan's palace.
Upon hearing this, Cao Qinmo's face turned cold.
Consort Duan is indeed a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.
The Emperor had just added someone to Wen Yi's entourage when Consort Duan sent someone in.
So it was all planned in advance?
Dingxiang also knelt down and said:
"That's right, a nanny came to me and gave me some benefits, asking me to keep an eye on the princess's situation."
Upon hearing this, Cao Qinmo was shocked. She never expected that three of the four people had someone else behind them.
She remained calm on the surface and reassured him:
"Since you have confessed, as long as you serve the princess faithfully in the future, we will forgive your past mistakes."
The four men hurriedly kowtowed to express their gratitude.
Wen Yi, nestled in Cao Qinmo's arms, secretly rejoiced; the loyalty talisman had indeed worked.
She quickly came to her senses; she was a woman of the world.
How could he be so proud of the Loyalty Talisman? He really has become a little baby.
She's become childish too.
Cao Qinmo was a smart person, and she immediately noticed the unusual behavior of these four people.
She thought for a moment and quickly recalled Wen Yi's earlier gesture of stroking the heads of the four people.
There's probably more to this than meets the eye, but Cao Qinmo didn't press further.
I felt a little relieved about Wenyi's safety.
Thinking of Consort Duan, the Empress Dowager, and the young ladies-in-waiting who would soon be entering the palace.
She decided to hurry up and start making arrangements; she would find an opportunity to visit Consort Hua's Lingkun Palace tomorrow.
Cao Qinmo looked at Yinxiu and asked her to call in Li Mama and the others she was serving.
Wen Yi was delighted to see this, as it would be perfect to plant the loyalty charms on all these people.
Yinxiu quickly summoned Granny Li and the other servants.
Cao Qinmo held Wen Yi and stroked their heads one by one.
Wen Yi took the opportunity to stick loyalty charms on them.
These people were equally oblivious, only noticing that the princess's small hands were warm and soft.
Cao Qinmo watched this scene with a sense of surprise.
She knew Wen Yi must have some special methods, but she didn't expect them to be so amazing.
She decided to test Li Mama first, so she asked:
"Granny Li, you've been in this palace for so many years..."
Did anyone specifically instruct you to do anything?
Upon hearing this, Granny Li quickly shook her head.
"Your Highness, I have been feeding the princess since she was born."
"This servant would never betray the princess."
