Nan Zhiyun felt a moment of disappointment when she heard the news, but she quickly adjusted her mindset and obediently ate her lunch.
Yu Jingchen didn't stay with the Imperial Concubine for too long; he probably only ate lunch before leaving.
After leaving, Yu Jingchen returned to the Qin Zheng Hall. Everyone thought that Yu Jingchen would not go to the inner palace today, or that he would go to the Consort's place. However, news came that evening that he had gone to the Ya Jing Residence.
Yu Jingchen's recent attitude towards Nan Zhiyun has puzzled many people. However, due to some deeply ingrained preconceived notions, few truly believe that Nan Zhiyun has regained favor. Most of the concubines assume it's because the Empress Dowager is returning.
Nan Zhiyun was also surprised when Yu Jingchen arrived at Ya Jing Ju that evening, mainly because she hadn't been notified in advance.
This can't be blamed on the people below. After all... Xinglai was a little speechless. His Majesty had just said that he was just taking a walk, but they ended up near Yajingju.
Finally, Xinglai asked, "Is Your Majesty going to Yajing Residence? Perhaps this servant should send someone to have Consort Nan make preparations?"
"No need, I'll just take a walk," Yu Jingchen replied, and then he really did walk around casually, but he ended up at the entrance of Ya Jing Ju.
"How did we end up here?" Yu Jingchen frowned.
"Never mind, we're already here, let's go in and take a look," Yu Jingchen said casually, as if it were just a casual remark.
Xinglai: "..."
The two eventually entered Ya Jing Ju, which surprised everyone because they hadn't been notified in advance.
"Your Majesty, this concubine greets you." Nan Zhiyun hurriedly came out of the room upon hearing that Yu Jingchen had arrived.
"No need for formalities, are you healed?" Yu Jingchen asked while glancing at Nan Zhiyun's face.
"Your Majesty, I am much better now," Nan Zhiyun said, still sounding somewhat timid.
"Let's go in first," Yu Jingchen said.
"Yes," Nan Zhiyun replied, and then followed Yu Jingchen after he went inside first.
"Sit down," Yu Jingchen said as he went in and sat down.
Nan Zhiyun didn't know what Yu Jingchen wanted to do, so she could only obediently sit down. Perhaps the events of yesterday were still lingering in her mind. Nan Zhiyun cautiously glanced at Yu Jingchen, then called out, "Your Majesty..."
"Hmm?" Yu Jingchen responded.
“Last night, I…” Nan Zhiyun seemed to find it a little difficult to say.
"What happened yesterday?" Yu Jingchen asked, as if on purpose.
"I was out of line yesterday, please forgive me, Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun said.
"Heh, not bad, you've improved. This time you didn't just kneel down to beg for forgiveness," Yu Jingchen said meaningfully, looking at Nan Zhiyun. Nan Zhiyun blushed, whether from nervousness or fear, it was hard to tell.
"I haven't even held you accountable for the good deeds you did yesterday," Yu Jingchen deliberately brought it up.
"You fall asleep quite quickly, but do you think that just because I'm asleep, I'll forget about it after a day?" Yu Jingchen raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please handle it." Nan Zhiyun lowered her head, but did not kneel, and... she didn't seem as afraid as before. She didn't know why, perhaps it was intuition, but Nan Zhiyun felt that Yu Jingchen probably didn't really intend to punish her, so he wouldn't use the same methods as before... right?
—Tomorrow night at four o'clock
