Chapter 2394: There is no room for sand in my eyes
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
In Yangxingzhai, Kang Biyun leaned against the head of the bed, covering her mouth and coughing for a long time, feeling a burning sensation in her throat.
Since that day, she naturally didn't dare to ask Xue Yun to treat her again.
Unfortunately, the Imperial Concubine ordered a strict investigation of the harem, causing panic in the palace. She was even more uneasy and had been hiding in Yangxingzhai, not daring to go out. Even her personal maid Ruying was not allowed to serve her. She had no soup or medicine. She had originally only caught a cold, but now her condition had become even worse.
At this time, she really couldn't hold on any longer, so she stood up and shouted to the outside.
"Ruying, Ruying, pour me a cup of tea."
I shouted for a long time, but there was no response.
What's going on?
She stretched out her hand to support the edge of the bed, holding the curtain with one hand, and said breathlessly through gritted teeth: "Where did they all go? I want tea, pour me some tea!"
Just then, footsteps were heard outside.
Then, someone pushed open the door.
Kang Biyun whispered angrily: "Where the hell have you been!"
But before she could finish her words, she swallowed the rest of her words when she saw the person pushing the door open, and she almost fell off the bed.
"Your Highness, Your Highness—Your Highness?"
Kang Biyun couldn't believe her eyes.
The one who walked in from outside was Concubine Si Nanyan.
She was wearing a long white dress and a thick fox fur coat. Although her face was a little pale and not very pretty, her eyes were particularly dark. When she stared at people, it seemed as if her gaze could see through their skin and flesh.
As soon as she met her gaze, Kang Biyun trembled all over, and immediately fell off the bed in a panic and knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Your Highness."
“…”
Nan Yan stood at the door, glanced at the gloomy room indifferently, then looked at Kang Biyun who was kneeling on the ground and shivering, and walked in slowly without saying a word.
He sat down on the chair in front of the room.
Kang Biyun was originally afraid of her, and seeing her suddenly come uninvited at this time, she was even more uneasy. She could only kneel down and walk in front of her, saying in a trembling voice: "No, I didn't know that the imperial concubine was coming. I didn't come to greet you. I hope you will forgive me."
Nan Yan glanced at her calmly and said calmly, "It's okay."
“…”
"I have come here uninvited. I heard that you were ill and had not been out for the past few days, so I wanted to come and see you."
“…”
"Kang Jieyu, are you okay?"
Kang Biyun said in a trembling voice: "I, I'm fine."
“…”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering me."
Nan Yan said, "Now that Empress Renxiao has passed away, I, as the head of all the concubines and holder of the Phoenix Seal, have a duty to keep an eye on the people and affairs of the harem. After all, I don't know what people are thinking outside my sight."
“…”
Kang Biyun already had something to hide, and after hearing what she said, she became even more frightened.
He smiled and said, "People, human hearts?"
"yes,"
Nan Yan glanced at her calmly and said, "When I was young, I once heard a song that went something like this: Snow swords gather on the peaks, ice curtains hang from the cliffs. Sad monkeys cling to trees and play on the mountaintops, blood-red cuckoos cry, and flying angels roar in the dark caves. Compared to the human heart, mountains are not dangerous."
“…”
"However, I was young at that time and didn't understand the exquisiteness of the lyrics and music."
“…”
"Now that I am in the harem and have experienced so many twists and turns, I know that the dangers of human hearts are far greater than the dangers of mountains and rivers."
Kang Biyun forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you are very knowledgeable and erudite. I admire you. But I have never heard of these lyrics and music."
"Since you haven't heard of it, I won't talk to you about it."
“…”
"Let's talk about something else."
Nan Yan glanced at her calmly and said, "When you came to pay your respects to me that day, you said you were not feeling well and left early. How is it that today, I see that you are not only not feeling better, but are even worse than that day?"
“Concubine, concubine…”
Kang Biyun stuttered for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Nan Yan said: "It seems that you don't know how to take good care of yourself."
“…”
"How about I make the decision and ask Doctor Xue to come and take a look at you?"
Upon hearing this, Kang Biyun's face, which had already lost its color, turned pale as paper in an instant, and she hurriedly said, "No need!"
"Um?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why? Why are you unwilling to see a doctor when you are sick?"
Kang Biyun trembled and said, "It's just a minor illness. There's no need to trouble the Imperial Hospital."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "You are quite cautious."
“…”
"However, the news I heard is different from what you said. Recently, you have been calling Doctor Xue to your Yangxingzhai to see you every day. Why do you refuse to come when I want him to come?"
“…”
"Don't tell me, you just want to meet her alone?"
Kang Biyun's heart trembled.
She originally thought that the imperial concubine came here because she discovered clues that the princess fell into the water, but she didn't expect that her words were all about Xue Yun.
Could it be that——
Did Xue Yun go and inform on someone?
Just thinking about it made the blood in her body seem to freeze into ice.
But at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew in from the open door, which calmed her down.
No, impossible!
Xue Yun was not a member of the harem. Even if the imperial concubine conducted a thorough investigation of the harem, it would not have any impact on him. He did not need to betray himself. Besides, even if he told the story, the emperor would not forgive him. If he killed himself, he would die too!
Yes, he definitely won’t tell it!
Thinking of this, Kang Biyun calmed down.
She bit her lower lip and stiffened her neck and said, "Your Majesty's words make me very confused. Why did you keep mentioning Doctor Xue when you came here today? He and I, , have nothing to do with each other."
"oh?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's okay?"
“…”
"are you sure?"
Kang Biyun gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Of course, he is just the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital. Even if he really comes to see me, it is only natural."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her for a while, then slowly said, "Yes, he is the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital. If you are really ill, it is only natural to ask him to see you."
“…”
"But, I cannot tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes."
“…”
"If any concubine violates the rules of the palace and causes any scandal under my watch, I will not let her off lightly."
"Your Majesty, if you say so, you must show us proof!"
"Proof?"
Nan Yan said, "I don't have any evidence, but I do have a witness."
After saying that, she said to the open door, "Come in."
Kang Biyun hurriedly turned around and saw a familiar figure walking in from outside the door. She immediately opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"you--"
