Chapter 2971 Xu Miaoming's Intentions
Nan Yan walked over and looked down at her: "What are you thinking about?"
"No, nothing."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her for a while.
In fact, she knew what Ruoshui would be thinking at this moment.
This child has been with her for many years. It was Xu Miaoming who sent her to the palace and kept her by her side to serve. It is impossible to say that she has no doubts at all. After all, her status is there. If she moves a little, it will not only affect the whole body, but many people, even many big families. She must strictly investigate the people around her.
Later facts also proved that Ruoshui came to her just as she said, just to find a place to settle down.
Over the years, although she could not save herself from danger like Ran Xiaoyu, she never had any second thoughts when she was in danger. Instead, she always accompanied herself through life and death.
This girl is now considered his confidante.
But as soon as they arrived in Xiajiang Town and met Xu Miaoming, an inexplicable rift arose between the two of them.
After all, she is Xu Miaoming's apprentice.
And from her attitude just now, it can be seen that she still has the same master-disciple relationship with Xu Miaoming as in the past. Unfortunately, Zhu Feng and Nan Yan are now suspecting Xu Miaoming, which makes Ruoshui's situation very embarrassing.
Even when they were discussing Xu Miaoming's affairs, they did not avoid her.
Because I don’t want to.
Also because it is not necessary.
Xu Miaoming appeared at this time, probably because she knew very well that the emperor and the imperial concubine would definitely be suspicious of her. As for why she did these things even though she knew it would cause rift between the two sides, probably only she herself knew.
And the Ruoshui in front of me...
Nan Yan looked at her and said calmly, "Are you thinking about your master?"
“…”
Ruoshui held the still-warm basin of water in her arms, not letting it go. Her expression was agonizing. She bit her lower lip and whispered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty and the Emperor, you suspect Master has some intentions, don't you?"
Nan Yan looked at her calmly.
Said: "What do you think?"
Ruoshui said anxiously, "Your Majesty, although I don't know why Master chose to set up a house in Xiajiang Town, nor why she suddenly appeared and invited the Emperor and Your Majesty, I swear to heaven that Master is absolutely a good person and she would never have any ill intentions towards the Emperor and Your Majesty!"
Nan Yan looked at her and didn't say anything for a while.
Although this child is not very old, he has been working in the harem for two years and is already well versed in some things.
Perhaps, even she herself felt strange as to why Xu Miaoming appeared here.
But even so, she was still willing to believe Xu Miaoming.
I think the one who is really suffering here is probably her.
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then she patted her shoulder and said softly, "I'm not going to do anything to your master. Why are you saying all this and even swearing and swearing? Are you bringing bad luck?"
Ruoshui said anxiously: "But the emperor and the queen just came in and they have already begun to doubt the master."
“…”
"I, this servant, know that you must think Master is strange and that she has other intentions."
“…”
"But, really not. Master is a good person. I have been by her side for so many years. She has practiced for so many years and has never harmed anyone, let alone said a bad word about the Emperor and the Empress. She would never do anything bad to the Emperor and the Empress!"
Nan Yan looked at her for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you."
“…”
"Hurry up and pour out the water. Aren't you tired of holding such a big basin? It's getting late. I need to rest now. You should also go to bed early. After all, this is your master's house. You won't be able to stay in bed tomorrow."
“…”
"Go quickly."
Hearing her say this, Ruoshui felt relieved a little, smiled at Nan Yan, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then he turned around and walked out with the basin in his hand.
Nan Yan stood beside the bed, looking at her back without saying a word, but her face gradually darkened.
Ruoshui has been with Xu Miaoming for so many years and has never noticed anything wrong with her.
But this is not surprising.
Just like Empress Renxiao, she lived in peace for so many years. If the statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Fertility, had not been accidentally broken, who would have known that the statue of Guanyin given by her family actually contained drugs that inhibit pregnancy?
Hasn't she never discovered it after all these years?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan took a deep breath.
It seems that when they came to Xiajiang Town this time, they were originally only prepared to face Xingluo Lake, but now, in addition to Xingluo Lake, they may also have to face some deeper thoughts hidden under the mist on the lake.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Nan Yan woke up early and Zhu Feng had also gotten up.
It was obvious that he must have gone to bed very late last night. Even if he tried to stay awake, a hint of fatigue could be seen in his red eyes.
After they finished washing up, Xu Miaoming's people came to invite them to the lobby for breakfast.
The two men walked over and saw that all kinds of meals were already laid out on the table. There were all kinds of flavors. In fact, it was even richer than the breakfast they had in the palace.
Xu Miaoming said, "I don't know what the emperor and the queen like, so I made a little of everything. I hope you don't mind."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "You've worked hard."
Having said that, he took Nan Yan to sit down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating calmly.
After breakfast, someone brought us hot tea.
Xu Miaoming asked, "I wonder what the Emperor and Empress have planned for today."
Nan Yan turned her head and glanced at Zhu Feng.
When she woke up early in the morning, she had no time to ask him whether he had thought clearly about what to do next last night.
Zhu Feng took a sip of tea, and seemed very satisfied with the taste. He nodded gently and said, "I was busy all day yesterday, and today I just want to take a break. I'd like to take care of your garden. I'll just enjoy the scenery here."
This time, not only Nan Yan was stunned, but even Xu Miaoming was stunned.
She said, "Your Majesty, today...last night, the Gaosheng Inn caught fire. Didn't Your Majesty send someone to investigate?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "You seem to know who attacked me and the imperial concubine?"
Xu Miaoming hesitated for a moment, then said, "Last night, the people I sent out not only picked up the Emperor and Empress, but also saw several sneaky shadowy figures lurking around the Gaosheng Inn before the fire. I sent someone to investigate and discovered that they all ended up returning to the largest bank in town, the Hang Seng Bank."
Zhu Feng smiled.
Said: "Since you have already investigated it clearly, I don't need to investigate it again."
