Chapter 2048 Prank?

After a day of rest, everyone set off the next day, preparing to continue their journey back to Beijing.

Although I got up early, the sun rose even earlier.

When everyone went out, the sun was already shining brightly. Ran Xiaoyu and Aunt Tongyun surrounded Nan Yan from the front and back, holding an umbrella for her and fanning her, and carefully helped her to the carriage.

However, this time, she did not ride in the same carriage with the emperor.

After all, the queen is here.

Although she was afraid of the heat, the empress did not ride in the same carriage with the emperor. However, since the emperor and the empress did not ride in the same carriage, she, as a noble concubine, naturally could not overstep her bounds, so the three of them got on their own carriages.

And Xue Yun, just like before, was ready to mount his horse and follow the imperial concubine's carriage.

However, just as she sat on the horse, she suddenly screamed.

"ah!"

Although her voice was not loud, it made quite a noise. The horse under her was frightened and immediately became agitated, almost shaking her off its back.

Xue Yun hurriedly grabbed the reins with both hands, and with the help of the people below pulling the bridle, she was able to sit down with difficulty.

Yun Xiang below was startled and hurried over: "Master, what's wrong?"

“…”

Xue Yun didn't say anything, just frowned.

Yun thought, "What happened?"

“…”

Xue Yun still didn't say anything, but just looked around. The people who were nearby looked at her strangely, not knowing what she was doing, while those who were farther away were all doing their own things and didn't notice this side.

She hesitated, and at this moment, Nan Yan lifted the curtain on the carriage.

She looked at Xue Yun: "What happened?"

Xue Yun hurriedly said softly: "No, it's okay."

“…”

Nan Yan looked at her doubtfully, sensing that she looked uncomfortable sitting on the horse. She was about to ask her something, but at this moment, someone in the front was shouting for everyone to get ready to set off.

She thought about it and said nothing more, just warned: "Be careful."

After saying that, he lowered the curtain.

Xue Yun didn't say anything else.

The little commotion was noticed by the eunuch Xiaomenzi who was following the empress's carriage not far ahead. He couldn't help but laugh. The palace maid Chun'er, who was passing by, saw him like this and couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"

After saying that, I followed his gaze and saw Xue Yun riding on a horse with an uncomfortable look on his face.

Said: "What did you do?"

Xiao Menzi whispered to her, "Sister Chun'er, I'm only telling you this, don't tell anyone else. I put Xue Yun's saddle on the roof to dry for a long time."

"What?"

"It's so hot, the saddle is like a red-hot iron plate, it's hot to the touch. He just sat on it, and hey, his butt is almost burnt."

Chun Er was both angry and amused when she heard this. She reached out and poked his head: "How dare you do this?!"

The young man snorted softly, "Humph, who asked him to be someone else's informant?"

“…”

"Is it his turn as an outsider to interfere in the affairs of our Queen?"

“…”

"Don't you even look at your own weight?"

“…”

"Even though the Empress doesn't bother with him, we servants won't tolerate this."

Chun Er said, "But you shouldn't do this. You know the Queen's temper. If she knew you were hurting people like this, she would punish you."

Xiao Menzi said hurriedly: "I didn't really hurt him, I just gave him a hard time."

“…”

"Sister Chun'er, please don't tell the Empress."

Chun'er glared at him, then looked at Xue Yun who was riding a horse behind him. Although he frowned, he didn't say anything. It seemed that he was gritting his teeth and enduring it.

Then he said softly: "Don't do it again next time."

"Ah, ah, I get it."

After that, the whole team moved forward and they followed the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Xu Miaoyin just closed her eyes and rested, as if oblivious to all the noise outside.

After getting on the official road, their speed increased a lot, and by the evening of that day, the capital city was already in sight.

However, if we go any further, it will get dark.

So, they only stopped at a palace outside the city, preparing to rest for one night and enter the city the next day.

Because it is a temporary palace, it is naturally more convenient than a temporarily rented manor.

Someone had already cleaned the place. After entering, everyone just had dinner together and soon returned to their respective palaces.

Just like before, Xue Yun also followed Nan Yan.

After Nan Yan settled down in the palace, she walked in carefully and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am here to check your pulse for today."

Nan Yan was sitting in a chair drinking tea.

I looked up and saw her walking in, her steps seemed a little slow.

So he asked, "What's wrong, Master Xue? Are you feeling unwell?"

Under the candlelight, Xue Yun's face turned even paler, but when she heard Nan Yan ask this, she immediately forced a smile and said, "No."

"Then I see that Master Xue doesn't look well."

"It's just that I've been traveling all day and I'm a little tired."

Nan Yan said, "Then I'll take your pulse quickly, and you should go back and rest early."

"yes."

Xue Yun came over and, as usual, carefully checked Nan Yan's pulse. Then he smiled and said, "Your Majesty's pulse is fine. A good rest and not worrying too much will naturally be good for the fetus."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Your medicine is effective. I drank it and slept well."

"If it works, I'll feel relieved if I do it again."

"Okay, you can go down and rest too."

"Yes. Thank you, Madam."

Xue Yun stood up and bowed to her, then turned and left. Her steps were still heavy and slow, and she almost tripped when she walked out of the door.

Nan Yan frowned and looked at her thin back, as if thinking about something.

Xue Yun returned to the house arranged for him downstairs and finally settled down. When he took off his pants, the inside of his thighs were covered in blood.

Yun Xiang screamed in fright.

"Young Master!"

"Shh, don't shout."

Xue Yun waved his hands hurriedly and said softly, "Hurry and bring some water and medicine."

Yun Xiang immediately took something to clean her wound, applied medicine and bandaged it. His eyes were red with heartache.

"Sir, how could this happen?"

Xue Yun smiled bitterly.

When she got on the horse's back in the morning, she felt the saddle was as hot as a red-hot iron. That was not all, the saddle had been exposed to the sun for a long time and had become hard. After riding a horse for a whole day, the saddle was worn out and her thighs were peeling.

Hearing her say this, Yun Xiang was angry and annoyed.

"Who is it? Who is playing such a prank?"

"mischief?"

Hearing these three words, Xue Yun smiled bitterly.

I'm afraid this is not just a prank.

Another thing Zhu Feng had instructed her to do before was to keep an eye on the Imperial Concubine, and to report immediately if the Queen came to see the Imperial Concubine.

She didn't know what it was, but since the emperor asked her to, she did it seriously.

I vaguely feel that the emperor is protecting the concubine.

In doing so, she offended the queen.

Today's matter is just...
