Chapter 2055 Marry Her

"I want to see Miss Xu."

“…Xiaoxiao?”

Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you want to see Xu Xiaoxiao?"

"May I?"

"this--"

Zhu Feng was silent for a while before he said, "I can agree to your request, but this requires the Queen's consent."

“…”

"That's her family after all."

"ah?"

Nan Yan was a little embarrassed.

In fact, if it was in the past, when she and the queen were still in harmony - of course, they have not torn their relationship yet, it would be easy to say this, but now, with the incident between Prince Wei, Gu Qiqing, and Xu Xiaoxiao, there is a gap between the two of them.

My request to meet her family was directly related to that incident.

I'm afraid she won't be happy.

Nan Yan said, "Can't the emperor send an order to the Xu family to invite Miss Xu to the palace?"

“…”

Zhu Feng was silent for a while before he said, "I don't want to issue an order to the Xu family."

"Well?"

Nan Yan was stunned and looked up at him.

"Why?"

Zhu Feng rubbed her hair and said, "It has nothing to do with you, don't ask too much."

“…”

"If you want to see Xu Xiaoxiao, I can agree to it, or I can tell the Queen, but whether she agrees or not is up to her."

Nan Yan thought about it and said with a smile, "I understand."

Zhu Feng said: "Okay, go to sleep quickly."

"Your Majesty, don't you want to sleep?"

"It's too hot. If I sleep here with you, you won't be able to sleep."

"Then the Emperor is leaving?"

"I'll watch over you here and wait until you fall asleep before leaving."

"Oh. Then Your Majesty should go back and rest. It's too late."

"Don't worry about me, go to sleep."

"Um."

Feeling his hand patting her back gently from time to time, Nan Yan closed her eyes and soon fell asleep to the sound of his even breathing.

|

This sleep was the best she had had in the past two days.

I didn't wake up until almost noon the next day.

As soon as she woke up, Nan Yan was so panicked that she wanted to jump out of the bed. Fortunately, Ran Xiaoyu came over to support her and said, "Why are you so anxious, my lady? No one is urging you to work."

Nan Yan said, "My uncle is going to the palace to see the emperor today."

"ah?"

"Hurry up and ask someone what the situation is."

"oh."

"Oh, it's all my fault. Why did I sleep so late?"

Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile when she saw her frantic movements. She helped her put on her clothes, then waved to the palace maids to bring in hot water and towels. Then she said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll ask Tingfu to go over and find out."

After saying that, she turned and walked out.

Nian Qiu had just helped Nan Yan finish washing up and had tidied up everything when Ran Xiaoyu came back.

Nan Yan asked hurriedly: "How?"

Ran Xiaoyu said, "My Lady, Master Gu is here."

"What?"

"Master Gu has just met the Emperor. The Emperor has ordered Master Gu to come in and pay his respects to the Empress."

When Nan Yan heard this, she immediately understood.

Zhu Feng wanted him to meet with Gu Tingqiu so that he could get some information.

He said hurriedly, "Let him in."

"yes."

Ran Xiaoyu went out to deliver the message. After a while, she heard heavy footsteps coming from a distance. When they reached the door, they paused.

Nan Yan raised her head and saw a familiar figure, but with a sense of frustration and uneasiness that she had never had before, slowly walking in from outside the door.

"Your humble servant pays homage to the Imperial Concubine. May Your Majesty live a thousand years."

Gu Tingqiu knelt down in front of her.

"uncle……"

Although they hadn't seen each other for just over half a year, Nan Yan discovered that Gu Tingqiu's hair had a few more silver strands, he had lost a lot of weight, and his expression was pale and haggard.

She raised her hand hurriedly: "Uncle, please stand up."

But Gu Tingqiu knelt down with his head down and refused to get up.

He said solemnly, "I am guilty. I failed to teach my daughter well. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"uncle!"

Nan Yan almost wanted to go over and help him up, but the rules still existed, and she couldn't be so careless. She quickly winked at Tingfu who was standing at the door. Tingfu immediately stepped forward and helped Gu Tingqiu stand up: "Master Gu, please get up quickly."

Only then did Gu Tingqiu slowly stand up.

Nan Yan took a look and saw that the corners of his eyes were red and his forehead was obviously swollen. It was obvious that he had just gone to Zhu Feng to apologize.

Seeing him like this, Nan Yan felt distressed.

He said softly, "Please take a seat."

Tingfu immediately brought a chair over, and Gu Tingqiu reluctantly sat down, but his face was still heavy with grief. Nan Yan looked at him like this, sighed softly, and said, "Uncle, this has already happened, uncle, don't take it too seriously."

Gu Tingqiu said solemnly, "How can I not care?"

“…”

"After this incident happened, the entire capital knew about it. Everyone said that I had sold my own daughter to curry favor with a powerful man, and that I had tarnished the reputation of the Empress. I deserve death!"

Nan Yan looked at him: "Me?"

"……yes."

“…”

She thought about it and understood.

After all, only a few people in the palace knew about her pregnancy, but the fact that King Wei might be named the crown prince was known to everyone in the world.

When one's sister from one's mother's family secretly meets with the King of Wei, everyone must think that their goal is the future position of the Crown Prince of Wei, and even the future Crown Princess of Wei.

Nan Yan was silent for a while before she said calmly, "The innocent will be innocent."

“…”

"This matter has already been exposed, and it's inevitable that villains will gossip about it. The more you pay attention to it, the more you will fall for their tricks."

Gu Tingqiu just smiled bitterly.

That bitter laugh clearly meant: It's not that easy.

Even if things were really over as she said, it was only over for King Wei and the others. For Gu Qiqing, this incident would be a permanent stain in her life.

Her life is ruined.

Nan Yan thought for a moment, then looked at Gu Tingqiu, who had a sad face.

She asked softly, "I want to know what my uncle is thinking now."

“…”

"What are your plans for King Wei and Qi Qing, uncle?"

Hearing her ask this, Gu Tingqiu's body trembled slightly.

He had kept his head down since he entered the door and had not looked up at Nan Yan. He only raised his head carefully at this time, but the first thing he saw was Nan Yan's bulging belly.

More than seven months.

The baby is due in two months.

The birth of this child is related to the future of the entire Yan Kingdom.

Gu Tingqiu immediately stood up and knelt down before Nan Yan, saying, "Your Majesty, although I am a cabinet minister, I am also a member of your family."

“…”

"I have no other intentions, nor any other thoughts."

“…”

"Qi Qing—I have already made up my mind. I will never let her have anything to do with the King of Wei again!"

Having said that, Gu Tingqiu gritted his teeth and said, "I will send her back to her hometown, find a husband for her, and marry her off!"
