Chapter 656 Eavesdropping
Nanny Li was extremely anxious and quickly asked two strong maids to carefully carry the princess on their backs.
After walking out of the cave, Nanny Li's gaze first fell on the prince, and then quickly moved to Ni'er.
She looked Ni'er up and down and saw that she was wet all over and her clothes were still sticking tightly to her body.
He handed her a cloak.
"Put it on quickly, little girl. You should come with me as well. The princess's condition needs to be explained in detail to the imperial physician." Nanny Li's voice was a little anxious.
Ni'er nodded and followed Li Ma back without hesitation.
However, her clothes were wet and heavy, as if a thousand-pound burden was pressing on her, making every step she took extremely difficult.
Coupled with the cold wind whistling like a knife, Ni'er couldn't help but sneeze.
Nanny Li looked at Ni'er's pale face and was afraid that she would suddenly fall ill.
After all, Ni'er saved the princess' life twice. It is reasonable and emotional that I should take better care of her.
"Miss Xiaoni, please be patient for a while. If we walk a little further, we will reach the carriage."
"When you return to the camp, I will ask someone to boil a large bucket of hot water for you immediately so that you can take a comfortable bath. Then I will make a bowl of hot ginger soup for you to drink. It is guaranteed to warm you up." Nanny Li comforted her softly.
After hearing what Nanny Li said, Ni'er nodded gratefully and gently rubbed her itchy nose.
"Then I'll have to trouble Madam Li." Ni'er's voice was a little hoarse.
After a difficult journey, Ni'er and Li Ma finally returned to the camp.
At this time, the princess was surrounded by imperial doctors. According to the doctors, the princess was not seriously injured, which finally put Ni'er's heart at ease.
Nier sat in the bathtub with a sense of relief, feeling the warmth brought by the hot water and relaxing completely.
She couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, the princess was found, fortunately, the princess was not seriously injured, and fortunately, the first people to arrive were the prince's men, otherwise she would probably not have survived.
Nier gradually felt that her head was extremely heavy as if it was filled with lead. She didn't dare to soak in the hot water for too long, for fear that she would faint.
So she hurriedly climbed out of the bathtub and quickly wiped her hair with a towel.
Nier drank the steaming ginger soup in big gulps while patiently waiting for her hair to dry.
However, her eyelids kept twitching up and down, as if they would close at any moment.
Ni'er forced herself to cheer up, touched her hair with her hand, and found that it was still a little wet.
She secretly groaned in her heart, what should she do?
If I go to bed now, I will definitely wake up with a splitting headache.
To avoid this from happening, Nier decided to do something to cheer herself up.
She stretched her body in the small tent and then began to practice kung fu.
After finishing a set of boxing, Nier felt her spirits lifted a little.
She touched her hair again and found it was dry.
I can finally sleep peacefully!
Nier was about to lie down when she suddenly heard a slight noise coming from outside the window.
She felt a stir in her heart and couldn't help but become curious, so she tiptoed to the window and put her ear close to it, wanting to listen to what was happening outside.
Only a voice was heard saying, "Do you know the little girl who saved the princess?"
Another voice immediately replied, "Of course I know. I saw her with my own eyes when the princess gave a banquet. She was very beautiful!"
The first voice continued, "Hmph, what's the point of being pretty? She's really scheming. She actually took advantage of the rain to stay in the cave with the prince. I know her little tricks very well."
"Now, the prince hasn't mentioned her a word since he came back. She wants to use such despicable means to get close to the prince. It's simply a foolish dream!"
The second voice quickly advised: "Don't say that. After all, the princess is here. What could possibly happen if the three of them were together?"
"Besides, why would the prince be interested in a little girl? And everyone knows that the prince is not good in that aspect, so the little girl doesn't need to suffer this."
The first voice retorted disapprovingly, "Who knows if she's gone mad because of poverty, hoping to cling to the prince's leg? A country girl, would she care about this?"
"You don't know, she's not short of money at all. She's the owner of the Yunlai Restaurant!"
"What? Yunlai Restaurant? Is this the Yunlai Restaurant I know?"
The person who spoke was obviously familiar with the name. He had an expression of disbelief on his face, and a hint of envy and surprise in his tone.
"Which other one is there? Isn't there only one Yunlai Restaurant in the whole capital?"
Nier thought, don't these two people know that walls have ears? Only I heard it. If others heard it, I'm afraid they would be punished. I have to go and remind them.
Nier stood up, put on her clothes, and walked out the door.
"You're not sleeping in the middle of the night, talking about the prince and gossiping. I remember that in the palace, you'd get your tongue pulled out for that!"
Nier's voice was particularly clear in the silent night, carrying a hint of warning.
When the two men heard this, they turned pale with fright and quickly covered their mouths with their hands.
One of them calmed down and saw that it was actually Ni'er. He couldn't help but curse in his heart: "How unlucky I am to be heard by this country bumpkin. What bad luck!"
The other was more clever. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly bowed and said with a smile, "We spoke too hastily. We did not mean to offend the prince or the young lady. We hope that the young lady will forgive our mistakes and show mercy and let us go."
However, the other person was clearly unconvinced, muttering quietly, "Why should I beg her for mercy?"
However, before she could finish her words, her companion tugged her sleeve harshly, and she had no choice but to follow suit and bow.
"You are people in the palace, but you don't even know these rules?" Ni'er looked at the two people and scolded them bluntly.
"Miss Xiaoni, please be magnanimous and forgive us this time." The two pleaded in unison.
Ni'er turned around without even turning her head, and just said indifferently: "There won't be a next time."
Then he slipped into the house, leaving only two frightened people outside the door.
After a while, two voices came from outside the door: "Thank you, Miss Xiaoni!"
The two maids walked slowly.
"Look at her, she's just a villain who has succeeded! What qualifications does she have to scold us like that?" One of the maids complained indignantly.
