Chapter 2485: Just Falling Step by Step
"Your Majesty..."
Nan Yan sat at the table, staring at the flickering candlelight on the table in a daze. At this time, the door was pushed open and Aunt Tongyun walked in from outside.
It is already spring and the weather has become warmer.
But when she opened the door, a gust of wind blew in, which made Nan Yan shiver suddenly.
Aunt Tongyun hurriedly went to the clothes rack and took out a piece of clothing. She gently draped it over Nanyan's shoulders and said softly, "My lady, be careful not to catch a cold."
Nan Yan looked back at her and smiled faintly.
The flickering candlelight illuminated her eyes.
There seemed to be tears in his eyes.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Tongyun felt very sad and said softly, "The Queen is still thinking about Qiu."
“…”
After Tingfu entered the main hall carrying a bowl of medicine, Aunt Tongyun and Ruoshui, who were standing outside waiting for orders, understood what was going on.
After dark, Xiao Fuzi led people to carry a stretcher and carried out a body.
The person is gone just like that.
Aunt Tongyun was not stupid either. Thinking back on what had happened in the past few days and the expressions of the two when the imperial concubine left Nian Qiu alone to talk, she probably guessed what was going on.
She was even more shocked and saddened than when she heard that the murderer of the princess was Shen.
Even more unbelievable.
Nan Yan said bitterly: "How can I not think about it?"
“…”
"I'm still thinking about it now. When she came to work with you, she was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Her eyes were so clear and she was so smart. She has helped me a lot over the years."
“…”
"I thought everything would be fine, but why did she change——"
Thinking of this, Nan Yan choked and couldn't continue.
Rather than being angry, she felt more uncomfortable, as if her internal organs were twisted together, making it painful for her to even breathe.
That's someone I trust...
Aunt Tongyun's eyes were also a little red.
However, at this time, she was calmer and said softly, "Don't be too sad, Madam. She chose her own path. If she needs to be sad, it should be her own."
“…”
“In fact, people change. Everyone changes.”
“…”
"In this palace, if some people turn bad, there must be others who are willing to keep their original intentions, or even some who are willing to learn to be good. However, it is too easy for people to learn to be bad, but it is not easy to learn to be good."
“…”
Hearing her words, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"yes."
After experiencing so many people and things over the years, doesn't she understand?
Just like Zhu Feng, who was bloodthirsty and murderous at the beginning, but changed little by little until today, when he was able to control his murderous nature. She knew better than anyone how much effort he had put in.
But it is too easy to fall into depravity.
The Wu and Feng families, as well as the Shen family, are all examples.
As for keeping one's original heart, it is not easy either.
Just like myself——
Ever since Xue Yun appeared, he has become unlike himself.
Even at that time, when Nian Qiu was teasing Xue Yun, he actually didn't think it was a big deal and just scolded her a few words. But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he would not be like this normally.
Unfortunately, I didn't really take the time to teach Nian Qiu and prevent the problem from happening.
After the first "prank", there will be a second "evil".
And if I acquiesce once, I may condone it a second time.
In the end, maybe I will really change slowly. Human nature cannot stand the test. Who can guarantee that I will not become a person like Wu Wan, Feng Qianyan, and Chen Lianxiang?
In fact, speaking of these people, who is born a bad person?
It's just a gradual decline.
She looked at Aunt Tongyun and said softly, "Have I become unlike myself these days?"
Aunt Tongyun's eyes were gentle as she said softly, "Your Majesty, etiquette and laws are more important than human nature."
“…”
"Even if the Seven Reasons for Divorce don't make women jealous, when it comes to love, who can remain calm? If a person's heart remains unmoved, wouldn't that make him a dead person?"
Nan Yan listened and smiled faintly.
I thought to myself: Yes, that’s probably why Zhu Feng said to me, “You can be jealous.”
Even if he was allowed to enter the palace and become a concubine, he still hoped that he would be a living person.
Aunt Tongyun poured another cup of tea and gently placed it next to her hand, saying, "Everyone is jealous, but what they do after being jealous is different for each person."
“…”
"I have always believed that Your Majesty is different from them."
Nan Yan looked up at her.
After a while, he whispered, "I almost forgot about it."
Aunt Tongyun smiled and said, "When you go too far, you're bound to forget some things. Sometimes, it's better to stop and look back. Maybe you can better understand why you've come to this point and what to do next."
Nan Yan said: "Tong Yun, thank you."
Aunt Tongyun immediately asked, "Why did your Majesty tell this to this servant?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I am different from others, probably because it is you, Xiaoyu, who is by my side, and not those people who always encourage their masters to go beyond the rules or even fan the flames to do bad things."
Aunt Tongyun smiled and said, "It is because of Your Majesty's wisdom that we are able to keep ourselves clean."
Nan Yan smiled and nodded.
She lowered her head and drank a sip of tea, then asked, "By the way, hasn't the emperor come yet?"
During the day in the imperial study, Zhu Feng asked her to come back and take care of her own business first, and he still had something to ask Xue Yun, but since such a big thing was to be resolved, he should come over.
Aunt Tongyun said, "This servant came here precisely to tell Her Majesty about this matter."
"how?"
Aunt Tongyun said, "I heard from the people in the Imperial Study that not long after the Empress left, the Emperor sent someone to Doctor Xue's house to convey his order, summoning Doctor Xue's mother to the palace."
"Mother? Xue Yun's mother also came to Yan Country?"
"It seems so."
“…”
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
I don’t know if it was because the wind was blowing at this time, causing the candlelight to flicker, but there seemed to be something flickering in her eyes.
After a moment of silence, she said calmly, "I know."
“…”
"Her mother is still in the palace now?"
"I heard that he has left."
“…”
"However, someone noticed that Madam Xue looked a little off. She was fine when she entered the palace, but she looked gloomy when she left. She even nearly tripped over the threshold before leaving."
"……oh."
After hearing this, Nan Yan became calmer.
At this moment, Eunuch Yu's voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan quickly raised her head.
I saw a familiar tall figure walking in from the night.
