358 Relief

“How should I address you, Eunuch? Who is your master?” Ning Yue had no choice but to deal with the palace servants carefully. Otherwise, she might die without a burial place.

“Princess Mingyue, ever since you and the heir of Prince Jin left the palace last time, my master has been paralyzed in bed. Those people in the palace trample on the weak. When they saw that my master was in trouble, they all came to bully him. When they finally heard that you were here, my master seemed to have seen hope and asked me to see you,” the eunuch said respectfully.

Ning Yue frowned. This eunuch in front of her was very likely Concubine Shun’s subordinate.

This was because she should be the only one paralyzed after she and Jiang Ying left the palace last time.

“Alright, I’ll go with you,” Ning Yue said.

To be honest, Ning Yue was also very curious about what Concubine Shun wanted to do. Why did she want to see her at this time?

The eunuch was very quiet along the way. He did not say a word until they arrived at Concubine Shun’s bedroom.

Ning Yue walked in and was assaulted by an unpleasant smell. She couldn’t help but frown.

Concubine Shun was lying on the bed. Her face was so thin that she looked like a bag of bones.

She saw Ning Yue’s eyes light up and wanted to struggle to get up, but other than her hands, she could no longer feel anything else.

Therefore, no matter how hard Concubine Shun struggled, it was useless.

Finally, Concubine Shun gave up. She laughed out loud. “Are you happy to see me like this?”

Ning Yue frowned tightly. To be honest, she did not have any deep grudges with Concubine Shun, so it did not matter to her what Concubine Shun became.

“Did you call me here to say these unimportant words?” Ning Yue asked.

Unimportant? Concubine Shun laughed even harder.

That’s right. Her life was irrelevant to everyone. To the emperor, to her own family, and now to Ning Yue.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first,” Ning Yue said coldly to Concubine Shun.

“Wait a moment!” Concubine Shun stopped Ning Yue.

“I’ll tell you a piece of news. You have to give me something in exchange,” Concubine Shun said.

“You can still find out about things after becoming paralyzed. This means that your news is not a big deal to me,” Ning Yue said calmly.

What she meant was that she did not need to have an exchange with Concubine Shun at all.

“What I want is very simple. You know about your father’s assassination, right?” Concubine Shun asked.

Ning Yue did not answer. Her calm expression made Concubine Shun a little flustered. She could not tell what Ning Yue was thinking.

“I know who assassinated your father. It was your uncle!” Concubine Shun said.

Ning Yue was still indifferent, making Concubine Shun panic even more.

“What I want is very simple. Ask the emperor to kill me. Lying in bed like this is a torture for me!”

Hearing Concubine Shun’s words, Ning Yue simply rolled her eyes and left.

Was this all useless information?

Actually, no matter who assassinated Ning Feng, it had nothing to do with her.

If Yuan Hui had assassinated Ning Feng, she believed that Yuan Hui had his own reasons.

When the time was right, he would definitely tell her. There was no need for her to tangle with Concubine Shun here.

So she simply left.

When Ning Yue returned to the Empress Dowager’s bedroom, she realized that the Empress Dowager had already returned from the emperor’s place.

She saw Ning Yue sigh heavily and told her the emperor’s plan. She took out a token and placed it in Ning Yue’s hand.

“The emperor said that if you’re willing to leave now to provide disaster relief, he can immediately release Jiang Ying,” the Empress Dowager said.

Disaster relief? Ning Yue was puzzled.

“Is there a disaster in the Great Yun Nation?” Other than the drought that killed many people previously, was there any other disaster?

“I don’t know what’s been going on in the past two years. First, many people starved to death from the drought, and now there’s a flood. Not only did it scatter the homes of the commoners, but there were also heavy casualties.”

At this point, the Empress Dowager sighed heavily. If the Black City Kingdom attacked the Great Yun Nation at this time, it would be a heavy blow to the Great Yun Nation.

The Empress Dowager did not say the rest, nor did she dare to.
