Chapter 2565 A Pill

The two of them went out and as soon as they looked up, they saw Xue Yun.

She hesitated at the door, as if wondering whether to come in, pacing back and forth. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she saw the emperor and the imperial concubine coming out, and she was startled.

He hurried forward and saluted: "Your humble servant greets the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."

Zhu Feng said, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Nan Yan saw that her face looked a little off, as if she was very anxious, so she smiled and said, "What's wrong with Doctor Xue? Is there something wrong?"

Xue Yun lowered his head and said softly, "I know that Your Majesty has just arrived at the Duwei Mansion, and I really shouldn't disturb her at this time, but—"

Zhu Feng said, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Xue Yun said, "Your Highness, my room has been robbed."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng and Nan Yan frowned.

The two of them looked at each other, then at her at the same time, as if a little bit incredulous: "It was stolen?"

"……yes."

For a moment, all three of them fell silent.

The Duwei Mansion was robbed?

The thieves have stolen into the government's house and right under the emperor's nose?

Lian Nan Yan didn't know what to say. She just thought this was not only strange but also funny.

Ruoshui, who had been standing at the door serving the emperor, was delighted to see the emperor and the imperial concubine come out. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but whisper, "Doctor Xue, you were robbed in the Commandant's Mansion. Either go tell the steward here or tell Commandant Chen. Why are you telling the emperor and the imperial concubine?"

Xiao Shunzi also said: "Yeah, who should be in charge of this matter? Go and tell them."

When Xue Yun heard them say this, his face turned even paler.

He whispered, "Yes."

She said that, but didn't leave immediately. Looking at her expression, she seemed to be in a difficult situation.

Nan Yan stood aside, seeming to understand something.

Zhu Feng's brows furrowed as well. After a moment's thought, he didn't ask what she had lost. He only asked, "When did it happen?"

"Yesterday."

“…”

"Your humble servant, I followed the Emperor and Commandant Chen to inspect the Yulian River. I was out for a day and didn't notice anything when I returned. I was just resting. But early this morning, I discovered that something was missing."

"So, did he disappear yesterday or early this morning? You don't know?"

"……yes."

The three fell silent again.

At this moment, footsteps were heard not far ahead. Looking up, they saw Chen Zixiao, Gu Ziyun and others walking over. When they saw the emperor, the imperial concubine, and Doctor Xue standing at the gate of the courtyard, everyone stopped immediately.

Only Chen Zixiao came over and kowtowed to them.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty, and Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

"Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Zixiao stood up and looked at the three people's faces. He seemed to sense that the atmosphere was a little off, and asked softly, "Your Majesty...is there something wrong?"

Zhu Feng coughed lightly and said, "It's okay."

“…”

"I was just taking the imperial concubine out for a stroll and met Doctor Xue. We just had a small talk."

"……oh."

Chen Zixiao looked at them again.

Xiao Shunzi and Ruoshui, who were standing behind the emperor and the imperial concubine, looked at each other.

Neither of them spoke.

Zhu Feng asked, "Zixiao, what brings you here?"

Chen Zixiao said, "The news just came back that White Tiger City has begun mobilizing troops again. I think this needs to be reported to the Emperor."

"Oh? White Tiger City is mobilizing troops?"

Zhu Feng thought about it after hearing this, and immediately said, "Let everyone go to the meeting room."

"yes."

Chen Zixiao responded and turned away.

But after taking two steps, he looked back again, his gaze lingering on Xue Yun for a moment, but he left immediately.

As soon as he left, Nan Yan turned to Zhu Feng and said, "Your Majesty, please go and take care of your business. Leave this matter to me."

Upon hearing this, Xue Yun looked up at her.

Zhu Feng also glanced at her: "You?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well find something to do. Does the Emperor think I can't do it?"

Zhu Feng thought about it and said, "No problem, I'll leave it to you."

After saying this, he said to Xue Yun: "You follow the Imperial Concubine. Whatever the Imperial Concubine wants to ask or investigate, it will be the same as what I want to ask."

“…”

Upon hearing this, Xue Yun understood.

He said softly, "I understand."

Zhu Feng patted Nan Yan's shoulder and turned to walk towards the conference room.

After he walked away, Nan Yan turned around and saw Xue Yun still staring at Zhu Feng's back in a daze. She smiled slightly and said, "Doctor Xue."

Xue Yun hurriedly said: "My Lady..."

"I came here last night, but I heard you were exhausted from accompanying the Emperor on his border patrol, so I didn't have time to see you. You must have worked hard on this journey."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This is my duty, how dare I complain?"

"It's my job,"

Nan Yan repeated these four words and said with a smile, "Well said."

Xue Yun glanced at her subconsciously, but saw Nan Yan turned around and said, "Where do you live? Lead the way."

"Oh, yes."

Xue Yun walked in front, and soon, he led Nan Yan, followed by Ruoshui, to her residence.

She lived in the eastern wing, the northernmost part of the entire Duwei Mansion. Because she was a woman, Chen Zixiao gave special instructions. Other officials and guards were arranged in the western wing, so she was the only one who entered and exited the entire eastern wing.

Not only quiet, but also safe.

When Nan Yan walked in, the houses on both sides were intact and there was no sound at all.

When I pushed the door open and entered Xue Yun's room, I smelled a strong medicinal smell that almost penetrated my nose.

She frowned subconsciously.

Xue Yun hurriedly said, "If your Majesty is not used to it, I will open the window and let some fresh air in."

"No need,"

Nan Yan sniffed. Although the smell of medicine was strong, it was not unpleasant. After walking in for a while, she got used to it. She could even smell a little bit of the medicinal fragrance, which made her feel calm.

She looked at the simple house, which was not as well furnished as the emperor's and her own residences.

Such simplicity and elegance suits her very well.

However, no matter how you steal, you can't get into a house like this.

Nan Yan walked to the table and sat down, then slowly said, "You just said there was a burglary. Did you lose anything?"

Xue Yun hesitated for a moment before he whispered, "I lost a pill."

"A pill? What pill?"

"It's a medicine that I've been busy refining these days."

"Oh? Who is the medicine made for?"

“…”

Xue Yun took a deep breath and said softly, "Yes, it was made for the emperor."

"Is this medicine for the emperor?"

Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "It seems that Master Xue didn't take to heart what I told him before I left?"
