The fact that Gu Wan Yi was pregnant yet refused to stay quietly in her palace was seen by some as the perfect opportunity to strike. Some of them didn't truly want to make her miscarry; they just wanted to frighten her into retreating back to Bihua Palace and stop monopolizing the Emperor's favor.
The Empress Dowager, anticipating such a move, sent Nanny Qi ahead of time to look after Jiang Xian.
Nanny Qi had heard a little about this highly favored Lady Wan Yi, and through a rather unusual channel. She was distantly related to another nanny in the palace, making them closer than most. From this nanny, she had heard of Gu Wan Yi's formidable reputation.
That nanny was none other than Nanny Zeng, who had been assigned to instruct Jiang Xian and Chen Changzai when they first entered the palace.
