Chapter 2145: Alerting the Snake
Just then, Nian Qiu came in from outside with a basin of hot water. As he walked, he looked back at the door in confusion.
Nan Yan asked, "What's wrong?"
Nian Qiu brought the basin of water over to Nan Yan and held it in front of her. While helping her wash her face, he said, "I don't know why, but these past few days, there have been some sneaky figures outside the gate of our Yikun Palace."
"A figure? Did you see who it was?"
"It's just dark now, I can't see clearly."
“…”
She frowned, wondering if she had seen it wrong.
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Normally, she wouldn't have cared too much about it. After all, she was upright and had no fear of anyone watching her actions. But recently—
It’s better to be careful.
After hearing what Nian Qiu said, Ran Xiaoyu immediately said softly, "My Lady, please let this servant go out and take a look."
Nan Yan nodded, turned around and walked out.
But just as she reached the door, Nan Yan suddenly remembered something and said, "Xiao Yu, come back."
"Um?"
Ran Xiaoyu turned around and walked over in confusion: "What's going on?"
“…”
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Don't go and see it for now."
Ran Xiaoyu frowned.
Nian Qiu felt a little uneasy and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let Sister Xiaoyu go out and take a look? I don't know if I saw it wrong, but it will make me feel at ease if I can see it clearly."
Nan Yan said, "No, that's not necessary."
“…”
"Not only do you not have to watch tonight, but from now on, when you enter or leave Yikun Palace, if you sense someone is watching you, just observe carefully and don't alarm them."
"Well?"
Nian Qiu was still a little confused and didn't understand why she did this.
Ran Xiaoyu thought about it, and seemed to come back to her senses, and said softly: "I know."
Nian Qiu looked at her and then at Nan Yan.
Ran Xiaoyu only said: "Don't alert the enemy."
"...Oh." Nian Qiu seemed to understand, but she obeyed. She held the basin of water, and the two of them helped Nan Yan wash her face and rinse her mouth. After she left, Ran Xiaoyu turned back to look at Nan Yan and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you think someone is trying to tamper with our Yikun Palace?"
Nan Yan said: "I can't be sure yet."
“…”
"However, the situation in the palace has been too complicated recently. We should just wait and see how it develops."
There has been some unrest in the palace recently.
Ever since she lost her temper and denounced Zhao Nanfeng when the new concubines came to pay their respects, the nickname "Evil Concubine" has spread in the palace, which has had two effects on the new concubines.
One way is to make those people feel intimidated by your pressure and come to rely on you one by one.
As the saying goes, it is nice to lean against a big tree for shade. This situation is not uncommon in the palace. Just look at Concubine Hui and you will know.
This is the case with Concubine Kang, Concubine Xin, and Concubine Chen.
There is another situation, that is, those people are afraid of me and keep their distance from me. Except for the daily visits, they hardly ever come to my house.
For example, Concubine Xi Ruan Mei.
And there is the hidden Concubine Chen Lianxiang.
In this case, who will monitor your actions?
What is the purpose of monitoring your own actions?
Nan Yan thought about it and was helped by Ran Xiaoyu to the bed to sleep. Ran Xiaoyu covered her with the quilt again. Nan Yan said, "Xiaoyu, from today on, you should pay more attention to see who is outside the Yikun Palace. As I said, don't alert the snake, it's more important to find out who is behind it."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Yes."
