Chapter 554 Si Nanyan is "back"

Xu Miaoyin said softly: "It is a blessing for the female official to receive such favor from the emperor."

Zhu Feng turned his head and looked at her for a while, then said, "I hope you two can get along well."

“…”

Xu Miaoyin said softly, "I understand."

“…”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

“…”

"The emperor only needs to direct the affairs of state, and the harem will not be in chaos."

Zhu Feng smiled at her and nodded.

There was peace in Yonghe Palace, but there was no such tranquility in other places in the harem.

There was chaos in Chonghua Palace.

The teapot and teacups on the table had already been swept to the floor, and even the servants didn't dare to come in to clean up, because Concubine Kang Wu Wan had been cursing for a long time.

Gao Yurong and Xia Yunting could only stand aside, not daring to breathe.

But even so, when he thought of Si Nanyan getting off the carriage just now, he became furious again. He sat on the chair, his nails almost digging into the armrests.

"That bitch!"

She gritted her teeth and said viciously, "The Emperor actually let her ride with him. Who the hell does she think she is?!"

“…”

"Tell me, has the emperor lost his mind?"

Gao and Xia were so frightened that they dared not speak.

Wu Wan realized she had spoken out of turn after she finished this, but she was angry again, so she waved her hand and said, "All of you go away. I'm upset just seeing useless trash like you."

The two had no choice but to leave.

Xia Yunting had just walked to the door when the little eunuch Xiaoqizi ran in.

"My Lady."

"What's going on?"

"I heard that the Queen just ordered the palace maids to clean the Yikun Palace and prepare for the enthronement ceremony next month. It seems that—"

There was another crackling sound and the sound of something breaking coming from inside.

When Xia Yunting heard the news, his face turned pale.

She stumbled so much that she didn't know how she left Chonghua Palace. She returned to Shou'an Palace with the help of the palace maid Xi Que.

After she sat down, Magpie brought her a cup of tea.

She had just taken it, and her hand loosened in a daze, and the teacup fell to the ground with a clang and shattered into pieces.

The tea spilled all over the floor.

Fulan came over hurriedly and asked, "Zhaoyi, what's wrong?"

Xia Yunting raised his head and looked at them, then looked at the puddle of water and debris on the ground, and said, "It's nothing, you guys, clean it up."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the bedside and sat down in a daze.

Fulan and Xi Que cleaned up immediately, then Fulan brewed a cup of tea and brought it to the bedside, whispering, "Zhaoyi...are you thinking about that Si Nanyan?"

As soon as he heard the name "Sinanyan", Xia Yunting shuddered immediately.

I am indeed thinking about it.

She was wondering how far the relationship between the emperor and her had come.

Has she really climbed into the emperor's bed?

At this moment, memories slowly emerged in her mind. She would never forget the night she spent the night with Zhu Feng, the night she was favored by him...

She had never told anyone that the name Zhu Feng kept calling was Si Nanyan!

She knew very well why she had received the favor that night and obtained the position of Zhaoyi.

But now, Si Nanyan is "back".

She was really going to return to Zhu Feng's side.

If it were in the past, when they were still sisters, maybe it would be okay. Even for that special cup of tea, she could use Si Nanyan's tricks to win the emperor's favor.

But last time, because Du Siyao used the snuff bottle to frame Ran Xiaoyu, she had exposed herself and let Si Nanyan know that she was actually dealing with them.

In other words, in Si Nanyan's eyes, I am now an enemy!

When she thought of this, she couldn't help shaking.

Fu Lan whispered, "Zhaoyi, don't be afraid. Even if Si Nanyan serves the emperor, she can't surpass Zhaoyi's position."

Xia Yunting trembled and said, "No, you don't know."

“…”

"Just now, when I was in Chonghua Palace, the little chess piece had already sent back a message to Concubine Kang."

“…”

"She said that the Empress has already ordered people to clean up the Yikun Palace."

“…”

"We also need to prepare for the enthronement ceremony next month."

“…”

"If she was only canonized as Zhaoyi, even if she was a concubine, there wouldn't be any grand ceremony, let alone letting her live in Yikun Palace."

Fulan couldn't help but gasp.

With such a big fuss, could it be that Si Nanyan is going to be canonized as a concubine?

In this way, she would be able to step over Xia Yunting's head in one step.

By then, let alone the question of whether to step on her or not, Xia Yunting wouldn't even count as the mud on her feet!

Fulan was also a little panicked: "Your Majesty, you won't make her a concubine all of a sudden, right? She is just a female official in the imperial court now."

"I don't know either,"

Xia Yunting was so scared that she burst into tears and said, "If she really becomes a concubine, she will definitely kill me."

“…”

Fulan gasped and said hurriedly, "Don't be afraid, Zhaoyi. This is impossible."

“…”

"How could she possibly be made a concubine given her condition?"

“…”

"Besides, Zhaoyi is now close to Concubine Kang. Concubine Kang's father is the Duke. Whether in the former court or the harem, his foundation is solid and powerful."

“…”

"By then, we don't know who will be the one to punish whom."

After hearing her words of comfort, Xia Yunting felt a little relieved.

Yes, Si Nanyan was just a vixen who seduced the emperor when he was traveling north and there was no one around him. She didn’t have much ability.

Now, I am already close to Concubine Kang.

As long as the time comes and Concubine Kang and the others move their little fingers, Si Nanyan will be dead.

Thinking of this, she took the teacup and took a sip.

The originally sweet tea now tasted bitter. Xia Yunting frowned and after a long while, he said in a deep voice, "But even so, I still can't rest assured."

Fulan looked down at her.

Xia Yunting said, "From the looks of it, the rank she will be canonized to will definitely not be lower than mine. Plus, if the Emperor is curious about something new, he will definitely favor her more."

“…”

"How could she let me off so easily?"

“…”

"Besides, you all saw how Concubine Kang and the others—Du Siyao—were demoted."

When Fulan heard this, his expression became a little serious.

Indeed, everyone could see that Du Siyao used the snuff bottle to frame Ran Xiaoyu and Si Nanyan, and it was Concubine Kang who instructed her to do so.

However, once the truth was revealed, Concubine Kang had no intention of rescuing her.

Instead, they kick someone when they are down.

When that time really comes, I'm afraid Concubine Kang may not even pay attention to me.

Fulan bent down and whispered, "So, what Zhaoyi means is—"

Xia Yunting bit his lower lip, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

“We can’t just sit there and wait for death.”
