Chapter 2913 The Crown Prince is here!

Tingfu lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, at the court this morning, the Emperor officially announced the appointment of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei as Crown Prince!"

Aunt Tongyun, who was standing next to Nan Yan, couldn't help but open her eyes wide when she heard the news, even though she was the oldest servant in Yonghe Palace and the least likely to express her emotions.

Then he immediately looked at Nan Yan.

But Nan Yan said "Oh" calmly as usual.

Then he said, "I understand. You can go down now."

“……!”

Tingfu was also surprised.

No matter how the King of Wei had been moving closer to the throne of the Crown Prince, when the news was officially announced, even the ministers in the court were stunned. They all ran around to tell each other, and were terrified.

But I didn't expect that the imperial concubine would be so indifferent.

It seems like, it seems like I knew it a long time ago.

Tingfu was confused and didn't dare to say much. He just kowtowed and stood up to leave.

Aunt Tongyun held the empty teacup and stared at Nanyan in a daze. Nanyan said calmly, "My throat is still a little dry. Tongyun, pour me some more tea."

"Huh? Oh, oh, yes."

Aunt Tongyun hurriedly poured another cup of tea and brought it to her mouth. Nan Yan drank it sip by sip.

She looked like she was sipping tea, but seeing the gleam in her eyes, Aunt Tongyun knew that she must be thinking about something.

So he whispered, "My Lady..."

Nan Yan was quiet for a moment, then looked up at her: "Hmm?"

Aunt Tongyun seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Are you wondering why I'm not surprised at all by this?"

Aunt Tongyun thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty has been busy with the affairs of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. I think Your Majesty had anticipated this."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "I have indeed been planning for the King of Wei, but this time, the Emperor did not tell me in advance."

It was not until last night, after Ling Shansi's death, that she went to see if Zhu Feng had had a good rest. She learned that the Emperor was neither in the bedroom nor in the imperial study, but had gone to the cold palace with Eunuch Yu. She then understood everything.

Zhu Feng has made up his mind to enthrone the King of Wei as the Crown Prince.

Then the King of Wei’s biological mother naturally could not be kept.

If a woman in the cold palace is to be executed, it should normally be the queen who does it. But now that the queen is no longer there, it should be done by the imperial concubine herself.

But Zhu Feng kept the secret completely secret.

He probably also thought that if one day, after he died, Nan Yan was left in the world, what if Zhu Chengxuan knew the truth about the cause of his biological mother's death? If it was really Nan Yan who ordered the death of Qin Ruolan - even if Zhu Chengxuan was a kind, filial, loyal and righteous child, after all, it was related to the death of his biological mother, and a rift would inevitably arise between the two.

A little anger from the emperor is a disaster for ordinary people.

Therefore, Zhu Feng wanted to completely eliminate this possibility from the root.

Therefore, he personally went to the cold palace and ordered Qin Ruolan to be executed.

Even though it made him heartbroken.

Thinking of this, Nan Yan sighed deeply.

Aunt Tongyun was still thinking about this matter. When she heard her sigh, she didn't know what she was thinking about, so she hurriedly asked, "My lady, what's wrong?"

Nan Yan put down the cup in her hand and asked, "What did the emperor look like when he left this morning?"

Aunt Tongyun thought for a moment and said softly, "Not very good."

“…”

"I heard that before going to court, the emperor went back to the imperial study and drank a bowl of medicine. Only then did his complexion improve a little."

Nan Yan shook her head and sighed deeply.

Although the wound on his chest did not split open when I touched it last night, such great sorrow and grief is a taboo for someone who has just injured his heart meridian. It is more fatal than superficial injuries. Anyone who is a little weaker may not be able to survive.

For those who made it through, the hardships they went through are unimaginable.

Nan Yan thought for a while and said, "Go down and tell the imperial kitchen to prepare some more nourishing food for dinner, so that it will be useful when the emperor comes."

Aunt Tongyun asked, "Why don't you prepare lunch?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "The Emperor just appointed Prince Wei as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could he be back at noon? He must have a lot of things to deal with. It's good that he remembered to eat. Oh, and by the way, if the Emperor eats lunch in the Imperial Study, have the Imperial Kitchen staff prepare it and send it over early."

"I understand."

Aunt Tongyun immediately turned around and left.

As soon as she left, Nan Yan got out of bed by herself. Ruoshui and the others hurriedly brought in hot water and towels to help her get up.

Nothing happened in the morning.

However, not long after Nan Yan got up, she felt uncomfortable in her throat, so she asked someone from the Imperial Hospital to take her pulse. It turned out that she had caught a cold, so they prescribed her a dose of medicine, which she immediately boiled and drank.

She drank the medicine and her mouth tasted fishy and bitter.

When Ruoshui came to ask her what she wanted to eat for lunch, she waved her hands listlessly.

Ruoshui was about to persuade her when suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside. They walked directly to the door and Tingfu said outside: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Wei is here!"

"Um?"

When Nan Yan heard this, she quickly raised her head.

I saw Zhu Chengxuan walking in from outside, his body still had a little bit of the scorching heat of the sun, and there was sweat on his forehead. He must have walked all the way here in a hurry, and his face was red.

When Nan Yan saw him, she immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness is here."

Zhu Chengxuan walked up to her, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed deeply.

"Your Majesty..."

Although he often came here and was polite when meeting them, such a formal gift still surprised everyone, and Nan Yan immediately understood the significance of his action.

Then he stood up and walked to him, supported him and said, "Your Highness, get up quickly."

Zhu Chengxuan then slowly stood up.

The two people were looking at each other so closely that Nan Yan could see clearly that not only was his face red, but even his eyes were a little red.

So she smiled and said, "I didn't expect Your Highness to come at this time. I was thinking that when Your Highness is free, I will go over to congratulate you in person."

Zhu Chengxuan said softly, "If it weren't for the Imperial Concubine, there would be no joy for Chengxuan today."

Nan Yan patted his shoulder and said, "That's too kind, too kind."

After saying that, she led him to a chair to the side and sat him down. Nan Yan had tea and snacks served, and then said, "The appointment of the Crown Prince is the Emperor's affirmation of Your Highness. Without Your Highness's own efforts, no one can help you, let alone recognize you."

Zhu Chengxuan lowered his head and said, "I understand."

Having said this, he carefully raised his head and looked at Nan Yan, saying, "But, your son knows that while your majesty has helped me, you have also given up your brother's future. Your son, your son..."

Hearing this, Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
