Chapter 516: I Will Find a Way to Arrange a Meeting for You

Nanny Wang instinctively glanced out the window at the sky. Indeed, there was a hint of dawn.

"Ninth Master, there have been many more guards in the palace recently. It could be dangerous for you to leave so suddenly. Why not rest in Her Majesty’s palace for now and find a way to leave after dark?"

She knew that Mo Jiuya and He Zhiran couldn’t stay in this unsafe place for long and would definitely want to leave.

"We’ve already found a safe place to hide. It wouldn’t be good if staying here implicated Her Majesty."

After Mo Jiuya finished speaking, he took He Zhiran’s hand, intending to leave.

"Wait... just a moment." Her Majesty had been silent until now, as her mind was occupied with thoughts.

However, she hadn’t ignored the presence of Mo Jiuya and He Zhiran. Seeing that they were about to leave, she hurriedly called out to them.

Mo Jiuya and He Zhiran turned around and faced her directly.

Yuan Guifei took a deep breath.

"If there is an opportunity, could you arrange a meeting between me and Nanyu?"

She had started regretting it the moment nanny Fei took her child away.

But her desire for status and power made her lose sight of what truly mattered.

For over twenty years, she had lived with guilt, not because Mo Jiuya was a boy, but because of her deep attachment and remorse for her own child.

If she could turn back time, she’d rather not have this cursed position of Guifei. Even if she had given birth to a daughter, she would have taken the child under her care without hesitation.

Hearing Mo Jiuya briefly describe Fei Nanyu’s experiences broke her heart.

If her son could return to her side, she would be willing to give her life to make it happen…

Of course, Mo Jiuya and He Zhiran were unaware of these thoughts in Yuan Guifei’s heart.

They had revealed Fei Nanyu’s true identity purely to help him.

"Please take care of yourself for now, Your Majesty. I’ll try to sneak into the palace tonight and, if possible, arrange a meeting for you."

After Mo Jiuya finished speaking, he took He Zhiran’s hand and continued to walk out. This time, neither nanny Wang nor Yuan Guifei tried to stop them.

Mo Jiuya originally planned to leave Her Majesty’s palace with He Zhiran and stay nearby for a while.

If they entered their space now, Xiao Bai wouldn’t be able to find them.

Just as Mo Jiuya was about to find a spot out of nanny Wang’s sight, Xiao Bai appeared high in the sky.

He hurried toward the back courtyard with He Zhiran, and when they stopped, Xiao Bai landed on his shoulder.

Mo Jiuya didn’t immediately retrieve the note tied to Xiao Bai’s leg. Instead, he continued to lead He Zhiran toward a quieter spot.

He was very familiar with the environment of Yuan Guifei’s palace and knew where it was most secluded.

Although there were no other people in the palace except for Yuan Guifei and nanny Wang at the moment, they were, after all, about to enter the space, so the location needed to be safe.

Turning into an area where the sturdy servants used to live, Mo Jiuya looked around and nodded at He Zhiran.

The two of them, along with the eagle, vanished into the space.

Fan Tuan'er had already grown accustomed to having Xiao Bai by his side, so when Xiao Bai was taken out by his master just now, he was a bit unhappy.

Upon seeing his master and Xiao Bai reappear together, the little one was so happy that he shook his little head and ran over.

Xiao Bai also considered Fan Tuan'er his good companion. Although sometimes Fan Tuan'er often poked his fur, he still missed Fan Tuan'er when they were apart.

Xiao Bai fluttered his wings at Mo Jiuya, then lifted his leg, on which the message strip was tied, signaling his master to quickly take it off so he could go play with his companion.

Mo Jiuya chuckled at the two little ones and casually took off the message strip.

Xiao Bai took to the sky while Fan Tuan'er dashed across the ground, both heading towards an open area.

Mo Jiuya and He Zhiran returned to the medical room to open and read the message strip.

Fei Nanyu was aware that they had snuck into the palace and was very concerned about their safety. The first part of the message stressed over and over that safety was the top priority, regardless of whether they could gather any information.

Later, he mentioned that Minister He had gone to see him with a subordinate before dawn and that Minister He was temporarily safe there.

Both Mo Jiuya and He Zhiran knew that "temporarily safe" meant things were stable for now, but danger could come at any moment.

This naturally made Mo Jiuya and He Zhiran feel the need to accelerate their mission inside the palace.

Finally, Fei Nanyu brought up the matter concerning Consort Yuan. From his cold words, it was clear that he held a grudge against her.

This was understandable for both of them. If it were anyone, knowing that their biological mother had ruthlessly swapped her newborn child to secure her position would be hard to accept.

Especially for Fei Nanyu, who had endured a lot of hardship outside over the years and even now still worked as Nan Qi's aide, living under the scrutiny of others.

Just thinking about such suffering made Mo Jiuya and He Zhiran feel weighed down, even without him mentioning it.

Although Fei Nanyu harbored many grievances toward his biological mother, he was still very rational.

He knew that to restore his true identity, he could not do without the support and assistance of Consort Yuan.

Therefore, at the end of the note, he asked Mo Jiuye and He Ziran to ensure that Consort Yuan’s life was spared.

Fei Nanyu also expressed that he was not opposed to recognizing Consort Yuan as his mother.

Regardless of whether Fei Nanyu wanted to save Consort Yuan’s life out of a lingering desire for maternal affection or for other reasons, Mo Jiuye and He Ziran were determined to do their best.

After reading the note, both of them knew that Minister He was now safe, and they felt a temporary relief from their worries.

After all, they had been busy all night, and no one's body was made of iron; they needed to rest well to prepare for new actions in the evening.

They slept until they naturally woke up, and Mo Jiuye personally cooked a few dishes. After eating and drinking to their satisfaction, they glanced at the wall clock, which showed it was just past eight o'clock.

Although ancient people were accustomed to going to bed early, this was the palace, especially during uncertain times. The Empress probably wouldn't rest so early.

And the patrolling guards outside would certainly be on high alert, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

He Ziran felt that leaving the space to gather information at this time would easily expose them.

Therefore, they waited until the big clock's hands pointed to ten before they left the space.

This time, they planned to visit the Emperor's chambers to see what the situation with Emperor Shunwu was.

Before leaving, Mo Jiuye took He Ziran around to the back of Consort Yuan’s room.

The two stood under the window and listened to the sounds inside.

A faint candlelight shone through the room, and perhaps because they had arrived at just the right moment, Consort Yuan had just woken up and asked Wang Mama to bring her some water.
