He had suffered quite a bit of injury after coming out from the Asura Realm.

Ye Siming slowly adjusted his breathing and suppressed the magic power in his body that was about to soar into the sky.

The pain in his heart was not as intense as before, but it was still unbearable.

He staggered to the bed and suddenly collapsed.

Ye Siming pressed his chest and endured the pain of the huge evil force flowing through his body.

He could smell the sweet fragrance left behind by Gu Nuo’er as he breathed.

He grabbed the blanket tightly to ease the pain. This hint of sweet fragrance seemed to have calmed his nerves.

After an unknown period of time, Ye Siming’s forehead was already covered in sweat, but the discomfort he felt dissipated faster than before.

He heaved a sigh of relief, and the evil force in his body faded a lot.

Ye Siming grabbed the blanket and thought…

Gu Nuo’er didn’t only know how to cry.

…

The next day, the sky that had been washed by the rain yesterday revealed a clear blue color like glass.

Gu Nuo’er had already washed up and was sitting at the table eating breakfast obediently.

Noble Consort Qiao wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth and fed the child a mouthful of meat porridge.

Gu Nuo’er’s lips were glistening from the food. She said sweetly, “Thank you, Mother~”

Noble Consort Qiao smiled gently and asked, “Nuo’er is so obedient, but why did you think of lying to Wanyin and Wanxuan yesterday? Can you tell Mother?”

Her voice was soft and she tried her best not to cause the child to resist.

Gu Nuo’er ate a little bun and pretended that nothing had happened. “Oh, Baby Nuo didn’t do it on purpose.”

Noble Consort Qiao smiled and asked, “Could it be that you don’t want to see Nanny Hu? Didn’t Baby Nuo like her the most in the past?”

Gu Nuo’er looked at her with bright eyes. “Mother, Nuo’er doesn’t want Nanny Hu to come. She always says that Baby Nuo has a round stomach from all the eating!”

After saying that, the child deliberately stuck out her stomach. “Nanny Hu is a good person, but you can’t say that Nuo’er’s stomach is bulging! This is all from the love that mother gave me!”

Noble Consort Qiao couldn’t help but laugh when she heard this. Even Wanyin and Wanxuan laughed.

“So that’s how it is.” Noble Consort Qiao felt that this might be how children thought.

Forget it. Since Nuo’er didn’t like it, she wouldn’t force Nanny Hu to come again. Otherwise, things would go in the opposite direction.

Noble Consort Qiao watched as Gu Nuo’er buried her head and ate the porridge. She called Wanxuan over. “Send Nanny Hu over.”

Not long later, an old nanny with white hair who was over 60 years old was asked over.

She had already reached the oldest possible age for palace servants to stay in the palace. Logically speaking, she should be able to leave the palace and enjoy her retirement.

However, because Gu Nuo’er liked her previously, Noble Consort Qiao planned on keeping her for another three years.

“This old servant greets the Noble Consort and the little princess.”

Noble Consort Qiao’s gaze swept over and Wanyin quickly helped Nanny Hu up.

“Nanny Hu, I originally wanted to let you stay for a few more years. After all, Baby Nuo was very close to you before. But now, considering that you’re getting too old…

“I’m afraid that your energy won’t be able to keep up. It’s time to go home and have a good rest. I’ve prepared a generous gift for you. You can go back and pack up today. If there’s nothing else, you can leave the palace.”

Noble Consort Qiao didn’t tell Nanny Hu about Gu Nuo’er’s reason. She only said that out of consideration, she could let her out of the palace.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wanyin and Wanxuan each carried two trays of silver, totaling a hundred taels.

Nanny Hu was very thankful and knelt down, trembling. “Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, little princess!”

Noble Consort Qiao lowered her head and asked Gu Nuo’er gently, “Baby Nuo, do you have anything else to say to Nanny Hu? Nanny Hu has taken care of you for two years and is about to leave.”

Gu Nuo’er shook her head. “I don’t have anything to say. Goodbye, Nanny Hu.”

With that, Wanyin and Wanxuan sent Nanny Hu out of the hall under Noble Consort Qiao’s instructions.
