Chapter 2481 Account

Nan Yan returned to Yonghe Palace.

When I walked to the bed again and looked at my daughter sleeping unconsciously, my mood was completely different from before.

In the past, seeing the once lively and lovely Xinping now lying there like a living dead, she was sad, but more angry. She was angry that someone dared to attack her own daughter, and she was also angry that she had not fulfilled her responsibility as a mother to protect her daughter.

But now, this anger has finally subsided a little.

Chen Lianxiang was brought to justice.

I have already tricked Fu'er into talking, which means I have a witness. Combined with the physical evidence I found before, anyone in the Ministry of Justice who is not a fool can make the truth come to light.

It's also a kind of consolation.

However, no matter how the truth is revealed, it is a fact that Xinping was hurt, and until now, she has not woken up.

Who knows what the future holds?

Thinking of this, she sighed distressedly, walked to the bedside and sat down, reaching out to gently stroke her daughter's cheek, and said softly: "I have done what I should do. Next, as your father said, you need to fight for yourself. If you don't want to lie in this bed for the rest of your life, you must work hard to wake yourself up."

At this time, Aunt Tongyun, Nianqiu, and Ruoshui walked in.

Just when the emperor asked everyone to leave, they all returned to Yonghe Palace and had been anxiously waiting for news from the imperial concubine. Now that she was finally back, they all rushed up.

Aunt Tongyun asked, "Your Majesty, has Concubine Jing really been executed?"

Nan Yan looked up at them.

His eyes flickered slightly, and then he said calmly, "Yeah."

Aunt Tongyun was heartbroken and gritted her teeth as she said, "I never thought that she, who usually keeps quiet, could be so vicious and attack Her Royal Highness. She really should be cut into pieces."

Nan Yan smiled faintly and said, "You usually don't say that."

Aunt Tongyun's eyes were a little red.

He said, "A doctor's heart is kind, and he treats people well. But how can a person like this be considered a human being?"

“…”

"Anyone who can harm a child is not a human being at all."

Nan Yan nodded gently and said, "Whether she is human or not, the truth has been revealed. The Ministry of Justice should be able to handle the matter quickly. This kind of person should get her own retribution. This palace no longer cares."

Ruoshui blinked.

Although she is young, she is very smart. Moreover, she has been in the harem for such a long time that she can understand the hidden meaning behind people's words.

It was obvious that the imperial concubine had not finished speaking.

So he asked softly, "My Lady, is there anything else you are worried about?"

Nan Yan glanced at them.

Then he said, "You guys step back first."

“…”

Everyone hesitated, looked at each other, and turned to leave. Nan Yan said, "Nian Qiu, stay. I have something to say to you."

“……!”

Nian Qiu, who had already turned around, trembled slightly when he heard these words.

Aunt Tongyun and Ruoshui had originally felt that Nianqiu, who was always chattering, was particularly quiet today - of course, it was also because as a servant, she had no right to speak in such a big matter, and the imperial concubine did not use her whether she was investigating people or things; but after returning to Yonghe Palace, she had been silent.

The silence was a little strange.

The two men couldn't help but look at her.

I noticed that her face was so pale that it was a little scary.

Moreover, normally when the imperial concubine called her, she should have gone back immediately, but she just stood there as if her whole body was frozen.

I didn’t dare to go out, let alone look back.

Aunt Tongyun frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong? The Queen is calling you."

Nan Yan didn't seem to mind.

He just said, "You guys go out."

Aunt Tongyun looked at her doubtfully again, then agreed, took Ruoshui out, and closed the door.

The room fell silent in an instant.

But this kind of silence is not just the tranquility of no one speaking, but also a kind of oppressive and dead silence that makes people feel suffocated.

Nian Qiu stood there trembling, and Nan Yan didn't say a word.

The two people seemed to be in a stalemate.

But in the end, it was Nian Qiu who collapsed first. Her body trembled slightly, and she slowly turned around. She glanced at Nan Yan with a complicated expression, and then said softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked me to stay. What are your instructions?"

“…”

Nan Yan remained calm and just looked at her calmly.

That look clearly contained neither anger nor murderous intent, yet it made Nian Qiu feel cold all over.

Her heart grew colder and colder, almost stopping beating.

After an unknown amount of time, Nan Yan finally spoke slowly. As soon as she spoke, her expression changed.

"When did it start?"

“…”

Nian Qiu's body trembled again.

But this time, she immediately smiled and said to Nan Yan: "What are you talking about, Madam? What, when? I don't understand."

Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes: "You really don't understand?"

“…”

"You're usually the smartest one. Besides Xiaoyu, you've been with me the longest. You always think of me in everything. You've done a lot of things I wouldn't have thought of. How come now, when I've spoken, you don't understand?"

Nian Qiu's face was completely pale without a trace of blood.

His eyes were full of fear.

She lowered her head and still refused to speak.

This time, the calmness on Nan Yan's face gradually faded, replaced by a cold and almost ferocious aura. She said in a deep voice, "You really won't tell me?"

“…”

"If you don't speak, and I were to speak, it wouldn't be so easy to resolve."

Nian Qiu was trembling so much that even his neck was shaking, as if it would break at any moment.

Seeing her like this, the anger in Nan Yan's eyes seemed to be filled with a little reluctance. She shook her head and said softly, "Do you really want me to say it without leaving any room for yourself?"

“…”

"Well, if that's the case, then I don't need to give you any leeway."

After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath and said coldly, "When did you start snooping around me and spreading the news to the Shen family?"

“……!”

Nian Qiu's whole body trembled violently.

It was as if someone had stabbed him in the chest with a knife, and the expression on his face showed obvious signs of being broken.

She looked at Nan Yan in horror, as if she couldn't believe it. She really knew.

Nan Yan said coldly, "The fact that I asked this question proves that I already know everything."

“…”

"You'd better not waste your time arguing."

“…”

"Just tell me."
