Chapter 2236: The ones harboring evil intentions are family members!
After all, Nan Yan is not someone else, she is Si Nan Yan. Someone is harming her like this and even wants to harm her child. How can he not be angry?
But, thinking back, I calmed down.
Xu Miaoyin...is not that kind of person.
After all, she came from a prominent family. Even though she was meticulous and had her own plans for some things, and would scheme for the sake of her family and her posthumous honor, she would not harm others in this way, and in such a despicable way.
As a couple for more than ten years, he also knows this.
"That--"
Zhu Feng's face darkened again. "You just said that the Queen asked Wu to bring something to you? Could it be her?"
"I also had my suspicions, so I asked the Emperor for permission to meet with Gao."
“…”
"She has always been by Wu's side. She knows best what Wu has done."
"So what did she say?"
Nan Yan looked at him and shook her head gently.
"At least, she doesn't know that Wu did this."
“…”
"Over the past few years, she has been by Wu's side, inseparable. She has a hand in almost all of Wu's affairs. If you say that even she doesn't know, then I'm afraid—"
“…”
"This matter was not done by Wu either."
Several crow's feet appeared between Zhu Feng's eyebrows.
He said solemnly: "Who did that?"
“…”
"Is there anyone who can enter your Yikun Palace and touch the Goddess of Childbirth?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then looked at him again. Zhu Feng immediately sensed her hesitation and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to hide it."
“…”
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and whispered, "I asked the Queen when she was dying, and she said that the statue of Guanyin was a gift from her family when she married into the Prince of Yan's mansion."
“…”
Zhu Feng's breathing suddenly stopped.
Nan Yan saw that his deep pupils shrank instantly, and there seemed to be a needle-like light flickering in them.
Nan Yan said softly, "If the Empress didn't put anything in there, and it wasn't done by Wu, then there's only one possibility."
“…”
"These things have been in that statue of Guanyin since they were delivered to the Empress."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Feng stood up.
He stood so fast that Nan Yan could even feel a gust of wind brought about by his movement. Zhu Feng's face turned pale and blue. He breathed heavily, and his chest rose and fell violently, as if something was expanding in his chest, making him almost unable to bear it.
He walked a few steps to the window, opened it and looked outside.
The weather is already cold.
But the cold wind still couldn't make him feel comfortable. Instead, an unknown fire of karma rose up from deep in his heart.
He clenched his fists, and after a while, walked back to the table.
Looking down at Nan Yan.
"Her family..."
“…”
"She said it was given to her by her family when she married into Prince Yan's Mansion?"
Nan Yan said softly, "Yes."
When he heard the word Nan Yan, he took another deep breath, turned around suddenly, and seemed to be about to walk out.
Nan Yan was so scared that she quickly stood up and grabbed his hand from behind.
"emperor!"
She had very little strength, and if Zhu Feng wanted to leave, she would definitely not be able to stop him.
But this time, Zhu Feng stopped.
Nan Yan grasped one of his large hands with both hands, holding it tightly, fearing that he would break free and leave. She said anxiously, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be made public."
“…”
"Regardless of whether it was done by the Empress's family, the late Empress has just passed away, and the funeral is not yet over. If this matter were to become public, I'm afraid the entire court would know about it. If word gets out, the Empress, the Xu family, and even the Emperor's reputation would be in jeopardy."
“…”
"Your Majesty, please stay calm!"
“…”
As she spoke, she held his hand tightly, afraid that he would leave.
However, Zhu Feng had no intention of pulling his hand away, and didn't even struggle.
I just felt that his hands and arms were particularly stiff.
After Nan Yan finished speaking, he slowly turned around and saw that the young woman, who was originally pale, had now turned red in the face due to her anxiety. She grabbed his hand and seemed to be very frightened.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out immediately.
Then he turned around and held her hand with his other hand.
Upon seeing his action, Nan Yan's clenched heart relaxed a little, and she heard Zhu Feng say, "Don't be nervous."
“…”
"I know."
“…”
"I'm not going to be so impulsive as to immediately go to her family to ask about this."
“…”
"I just, just—"
His voice was a little hoarse when he said the last two words.
There was even a barely perceptible tremor.
Nan Yan looked up at the slightly red corners of his eyes, and immediately understood, feeling a wave of sadness in her heart.
He just couldn't figure it out.
He had been guarded against and plotted against since he was a child, and even after he ascended the throne, he faced the tragedy of brothers fighting against each other.
He thought it was just him.
But I didn't expect that Miaoyin, Miaoyin...
As his wife, the Princess of Yan, the Queen, even she, even she, was actually included in the calculations of others.
That statue of Guanyin who delivers children.
Such beautiful intentions, such gentle wishes, but who could have imagined that it contained such evil intentions.
Who would have thought that the one harboring such evil intentions would be her family!
What was even more difficult for him to accept was——
When Emperor Wen was reducing the power of the princes and besieging Prince Yan's mansion, Xu Miaoyin was frightened and had a miscarriage. After that, she was diagnosed with difficulty getting pregnant again.
This result made Xu Miaoyin heartbroken.
Even though he had already started the rebellion at that time and could not afford any hesitation on the battlefield, he was still devastated and heartbroken when he received the news.
At that time, they could only accept their fate and think it was a punishment from God.
However, none of them thought that—
Xu Miaoyin is the daughter of a general. Even though she is not a master, she has been practicing martial arts with her father and brothers since she was young, so her body is stronger than that of ordinary girls.
How could she get so frightened that she had a miscarriage?
Moreover, after a miscarriage, she was unable to have children again.
Over the years, the Queen never mentioned this matter again. Although he could see that her care for Xinping was mixed with some regrets, things had already passed and no one could make up for it. Only time could heal the wound.
But now, his wound was torn open with blood.
Who is it?
Who was it that plotted against the Princess of Yan back then?
Was this person plotting against Xu Miaoyin, or him?!
