Chapter 1381: Your Majesty, This Is Not Right
Feng Qianyan frowned.
"Your Majesty, hasn't he been in the imperial study?"
Hanxiang said softly, "The Emperor was indeed in the Imperial Study a while ago, but these past few days, I heard that the Emperor would leave the Imperial Study every evening and walk around the harem for a while."
"oh?"
When Feng Qianyan heard this, her brows furrowed.
Zhu Feng left the imperial study and came to the harem, but how come he didn't know anything about it?
Moreover, since she was pregnant, even if he didn't stay in Jianfu Palace, he should at least come to see her. However, since returning to Peking, he has come to see her very rarely.
If he didn't come here, where did he go?
Feng Qianyan asked, "Which bitch did he go to?"
Hanxiang whispered, "The Emperor didn't go to any other palace, but to the cold palace."
"What?"
"I heard that he would go to the cold palace every day after the hour of You."
“…”
Hearing the word "cold palace", Feng Qianyan's hands and feet went cold. She said in a deep voice: "He - the emperor, he, he went to the cold palace to see, to see that woman?"
Hanxiang said, "That's the strange thing. Although the emperor went, he didn't go to the cold palace."
"What?"
"He just stood at the door of the cold palace. Sometimes he would just stand there for a while and then leave. Sometimes he would stand there for several quarters of an hour without moving at all."
Feng Qianyan's expression gradually darkened.
Hanxiang whispered, "Your Majesty, what do you think the Emperor is going to do? Does he want the Imperial Concubine to come out?"
“…”
Although this sentence was just her guess, it was like her worst nightmare.
Feng Qianyan's hands and feet were already cold, and she shuddered suddenly at this moment.
Absolutely not!
They had finally managed to defeat the Imperial Concubine after thinking of so many ways. Now that she was no longer around, she became pregnant with the Emperor's seed. Even the former Concubine Ning was jealous and resentful of her but could do nothing about it. She also had the Empress protecting her, and her future was bright.
How could I let her come out again and get in the way of my business?
Thinking of this, her face turned pale.
Because they were so close, Hanxiang could hear her teeth chattering and the veins on both sides of her forehead bulging. Although a woman's temper would become worse after she became pregnant, this lady was not only moody but also had a bit of ferocity, which frightened her.
She subconsciously took a few steps back.
Feng Qianyan stood up with the help of the handrail and said fiercely: "Let's go to the cold palace!"
As he said this, he was about to walk out.
But Hanxiang hurriedly stopped her and said softly, "What are you doing there, Madam? You can't go in now."
"Can't go in?"
"Yes, the Emperor has issued an edict. Apart from the Empress who has entered twice, only those close to the Emperor can enter and leave. Anyone else who wants to enter or leave the cold palace will be denied entry."
As she spoke, she leaned close to Feng Qianyan's ear and whispered, "Even Concubine Hui wanted to go there once, but she couldn't get in."
“…”
Hearing her say this, Feng Qianyan gritted her teeth again and sat down holding the armrest.
Her expression was ferocious, revealing a hint of cruelty. She gritted her teeth and said, "Is it really true that there is no way to deal with her at all?"
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Hanxiang broke out in a cold sweat. She carefully helped her sit down and said softly, "No matter what, now that Your Majesty is pregnant with the prince, she's already the most favored concubine in the palace. Why should you be afraid of her, a concubine in the cold palace? Your Majesty, just focus on taking good care of the child. Wait a few months, and the prince will be born. By then, who of them will the Emperor still have eyes for?"
Hearing her words, Feng Qianyan felt a lot more at ease.
But she immediately frowned and said, "But the birth is still several months away. That bitch Qin Ruolan wanted to harm me before. Fortunately, the Queen showed up. After that, I don't know how many people and eyes will be staring at my belly. But—"
When she said this, she looked at her belly with a look of disappointment.
Unfortunately, my stomach has been feeling uneasy lately.
Hanxiang kept comforting her: "Relax, Madam, please."
However, no matter how others tried to comfort her, Feng Qianyan seemed to be still feeling conflicted. The sky, which had finally cleared up for a day or two, began to become overcast again.
At night, the crashing sound woke many people up from their dreams.
Nan Yan wrapped herself in a quilt, listening to the sound of heavy rain outside the window. Although Xiaokouzi had brought in a thick quilt a long time ago, and Ran Xiaoyu and the others had dried the quilts for her to spread out a few days in advance, in such a cold palace, even with a thick quilt covering her, she still couldn't help feeling a chill.
After sleeping for a whole night, I woke up the next morning with cold hands and feet.
When Aunt Tongyun came in to serve her, she heard her coughing again.
Moreover, the cough is more severe than the previous two days.
When her coughing became most severe, she pulled over the spittoon and vomited for a long time.
Aunt Tongyun sat down beside her bed, gently patting her back to help her breathe, while frowning and anxiously saying, "What's going on? You were feeling better the past two days, why is your cough getting worse today?"
Nan Yan finally caught her breath and said with a wry smile, "I don't know either."
"Is it possible that the medicine given by the Imperial Pharmacy is wrong?"
"This, it can't be."
Nan Yan took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, then gestured for her to pour herself a glass of water to rinse her mouth. She said, "Besides, no matter how good the medicine is, it's not Laojun's elixir. How can it be so effective?"
Hearing her say this, Aunt Tongyun sighed.
But I still can't let it go.
Nan Yan comforted her again: "Maybe it's because I kicked the quilt last night."
"Kick the quilt?"
"Yeah, I woke up in the middle of the night because of the cold, so I covered myself up again. I'm afraid it's—"
"My lady, what have you done to me?"
Aunt Tongyun looked at her coughing with red eyes and was so angry that she was shaking: "You are so old, and you still kick the quilt when you sleep? No, let this servant come here to watch over you tonight."
Nan Yan looked at her excited expression and could only agree with a wry smile.
However, things did not develop in a better direction.
The heavy rain slowly turned into a continuous drizzle, but it continued to drizzle for two days without stopping. The bluestone slabs under the eaves were washed clean by the rain, but Nan Yan's illness not only did not get better, but worsened.
By the third day, her throat was hoarse from coughing, and in the evening she developed a high fever.
Moreover, this disease came as suddenly as a mountain.
The high fever made her whole body hot, her lips pale, and she almost lost her mind and was unconscious, but she kept mumbling, as if calling for her parents, or calling for Yu.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Tongyun became anxious.
With red eyes, she said to Ran Xiaoyu, "Your Highness, this isn't right. We need to get the imperial physician to come over and take a look. We need to call someone!"
