He slaughtered his way through the world, yet only to her was he gentle and restrained, showering her with a lifetime of deep affection!
...Chapter 2375 Late Night Movement
At this time, Eunuch Yu came out and bowed to her. Chen Lianxiang was delighted and was about to go inside.
But Eunuch Yu smiled and said, "Please forgive me, Concubine Jing. The Emperor said he doesn't want to see anyone."
"……What?"
Chen Lianxiang's steps paused, and her whole body froze there.
Eunuch Yu smiled and said, "Empress Jing, I'm sure you're aware of Princess Xinping's situation. The Emperor is worried about the princess and has to deal with state affairs, so he really has no time for anything else."
“…”
"Your Majesty, please go back first."
“…”
"When the Emperor summons you, I will immediately send for your Highness."
The smile on Chen Lianxiang's face was a little stiff, but she still kept smiling.
After a long silence, he said, "I understand."
“…”
"Then, I'll trouble Eunuch Yu to take good care of the Emperor and tell him to take good care of his health. Please don't overwork him."
"This is it, this is it."
Shen Lianxiang took a deep breath, then turned and left.
As soon as she turned around, the almost stiff smile on her face disappeared immediately. After walking for a while, she turned back and looked at the imperial study with its doors and windows closed.
The corners of his eyes were slightly red.
Why? !
Her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles. She was angry and hurt. She grabbed her sleeves with her backhand, wishing she could tear them to pieces.
When that little bitch was around, every time she came, she interrupted my plans.
But now, she was lying there half dead.
The imperial concubine could no longer jump up.
Why did the emperor refuse to even see him?
Could it be that I will be oppressed by this mother and daughter for the rest of my life, and even if they are not around, I will never be able to make a breakthrough?
"no!"
Chen Lianxiang's eyes were almost bloodshot as she stared at the closed door of the imperial study. She gritted her teeth and said, "I absolutely cannot let them oppress me for the rest of my life!"

This day passed quickly.
At night, Nan Yan insisted on sleeping in the same bed with Xin Ping.
Seeing her like this, Ran Xiaoyu said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you won't be able to rest well like this. No matter what the princess is like, you must take care of yourself."
Nan Yan had changed her clothes and was sitting at the head of the bed.
She said calmly, "Don't worry, I will be fine."
“…”
"Only by sleeping beside her can I feel at ease. If she——"
Having said this, she turned her head to glance at Xinping's face, let out a deep breath, and then said, "If she wakes up, I will be the first to see her."
“…”
Seeing her like this, everyone was at a loss as to what to say.
Although everyone here hopes that the princess will wake up soon, from what Doctor Wang said, we know that this wish is probably very slim.
Only as a mother, even the most remote wish is a huge hope in her eyes.
No one had the heart to hurt her.
There was no way to stop her.
Ran Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I will stay here to keep watch for you, Madam."
"you--?"
Nan Yan frowned.
Although she was a noble concubine, she never made things difficult for the people under her. Over the years, she almost never let the people around her keep watch at night. Firstly, she didn't need anyone to serve her tea and water at night, and secondly, she couldn't bear to let them stay up late.
But Ran Xiaoyu has to come to keep watch.
Nan Yan said, "No need."
Ran Xiaoyu said firmly: "This slave must!"
“…”
"Besides, if Her Highness the Princess really makes any noise at night, I can immediately call the Imperial Hospital staff if I am here."
Hearing her say this, Nan Yan couldn't refute it.
He asked someone to give her a quilt and let her sleep under the bed. He tidied up the bed a little, carefully covered Xinping with the quilt, and then lay down to sleep.
Soon, it was midnight.
Nan Yan was sleeping lightly, listening to the whistling of the wind outside and the snow pressing on the dead branches, finally breaking them and falling with a shattering sound.
In her confused dream, she felt as if she was in a lava field.
It seemed as if fire was about to break out all around.
She felt more and more uncomfortable and even wanted to tear off her clothes, but she couldn't. She felt like her skin was being burned by the scorching warmth.
Now, it’s winter, why is it so hot?
She felt more and more uncomfortable, and finally struggled to wake up from her dream. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt sweat all over her body, and her clothes were soaked.
But that burning feeling was not an illusion.
But the peace of mind around you!
She actually developed a high fever.
Nan Yan reached out and touched her face and body, which felt burning hot. She immediately panicked: "Xin Ping!"
Ran Xiaoyu was sleeping under the bed. When she heard her movement, she immediately jumped up: "My lady, what's wrong?"
Nan Yan hugged Xin Ping, her eyes red with anxiety: "She has a fever!"
"What?!"
Ran Xiaoyu hurried over and touched it, and was also burned.
But she reacted quickly and said immediately, "I will go to the Imperial Hospital to get the imperial physician right away. Your Majesty, please be careful and don't let the princess get hurt!"
Nan Yan nodded and said, "Go quickly. Put on your clothes properly, don't let the wind blow you away!"
Ran Xiaoyu reluctantly put on some clothes and ran out as fast as she could.
After a while, the sound of two people's footsteps was heard outside again. Nan Yan held her daughter in her arms and looked out anxiously, only to see Ran Xiaoyu leading someone in.
"My lady, it's—her."
Nan Yan paused.
Following her in was Xue Yun, who looked anxious.
She didn't care about that anymore and said hurriedly, "Come here quickly and help me take care of Xinping!"
At this time, she was not even fully dressed, but because she knew Xue Yun's identity, she did not have so many concerns.
As for Xue Yun, she was so scared by that incident that she hid at home for two days. Today, it was her turn to be on duty. In addition, Wang Baizhi and the others had been enduring it for several days and could not hold on any longer, so she came to the palace.
Unexpectedly, Princess Xinping happened to have a high fever.
She didn't even bother to get up, and followed Ran Xiaoyu over with her medicine box on her back. At a glance, she saw Princess Xinping lying in the imperial concubine's arms, her little face flushed with a sickly red, and her lips were cracked.
She hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please put His Highness down so I can take a look."
Nan Yan laid Xin Ping on the bed.
Xue Yun rolled his calm eyelids, touched her neck again, and immediately said, "She has a severe fever. It's the cold accumulated from the drowning. Miss Xiaoyu, quickly bring in some cold water."
Ran Xiaoyu went there immediately and brought in a basin of cold water after a while.
Xue Yun said "I'm sorry" and unbuttoned Xinping's collar. He took a handkerchief moistened with cold water and wiped her hands and feet, as well as her sweaty neck.
Just as she was wiping, she suddenly heard a "Huh".
