Chapter 2210: Chapter 2210: Your Wet Nurse Kuzhu
Back then, because of the Ning family’s meritorious accomplishments, even though Ning Wanyu was raised in the countryside, the Empress Dowager didn’t mind and insisted the Emperor bring her into the capital to make her Empress.
Who could have predicted that this move would lead to a good girl’s tragic death?
The Empress’s eyes flickered with fear but showed no guilt. In her heart, killing Ning Wanyu was an insignificant matter, not even worth mentioning.
It was the confusion of the royal bloodline that could cause her and her son to end up with nowhere to be buried after death.
But she still wanted to fight. As long as she didn’t admit it, no one could claim her son wasn’t Emperor Zhong’s. That was the one good thing about the Plant Plane: the power of bloodline could not be traced at all.
“Empress Dowager, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. Zun’er is His Majesty’s legitimate son. How could you unjustly accuse your own blood grandson like this without evidence?”
“I am Ning Wanyu. Everyone in the Ning Residence can testify for me. If you don’t believe it, you can send someone to the Ning Residence and ask them to come to the palace to confirm my identity.”
She was certain that in the current General’s Mansion, none of the servants were the old ones anymore.
To keep their secrets, anyone who might have known Ning Wanyu had already been silenced by her brother. At this point, no one had ever seen the real Ning Wanyu.
Moreover, it had been many years since she entered the palace. Her appearance had changed significantly. How could anyone possibly recognize her?
“So, do you think that no one can tell you aren’t Ning Wanyu?” The Empress Dowager no longer wanted to waste words with her and directly ordered the wet nurse at her side.
“Bring the person to me. Let her take a good look and confirm whether this Empress is truly her household’s young lady!”
“Yes, Empress Dowager.”
The nanny acknowledged the order and turned to leave.
At the same time, the Empress steadied her nerves, holding her head high as she looked at the Empress Dowager.
She was unafraid of anyone because all those who had been close to Ning Wanyu were gone, killed by her brother.
It was because of their ruthlessness that she was able to enter the palace, become the mistress of the harem, and give birth to a son for her brother, who was then joyfully raised by Emperor Zhong.
However, when she saw the elderly woman brought in by the Empress Dowager’s nanny, her confident expression instantly froze.
“Why… why is it you?!”
Her eyes widened in shock at the person who had been brought inside, and for a moment, she was too stunned to react.
“Miss, Miss, save me! I am your wet nurse, Kuzhu. Save me!”
The elderly woman, bloodied and battered, knelt down in front of the Empress as soon as she saw her, crying and pleading.
She truly did not expect these people to be so ruthless. She was the Empress’s wet nurse, yet they had beaten her to the brink of death.
Unable to endure the suffering, she had no choice but to reveal the truth about the Empress and the Great General.
“You… you…”
The Empress opened her mouth, but no words came out.
She had considered countless possibilities, imagined that someone might recognize her, and planned for ways to refute or shift the blame back onto them.
But she had never expected that the one to expose her would be her own wet nurse, the very woman who had always claimed to love her as if she were her own daughter.
She had ordered her brother to kill everyone who knew the truth, but she had overlooked this wet nurse, failing to act in time.
