Chapter 1476 What fragrance?
At this moment, Xinping, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said, "My Lady... acupuncture."
She opened her eyes wide, and a bright light flickered in her black and white eyes. I don't know if it was reflecting the light of the silver needle, or if she remembered something.
“…”
The entire Yanchun Pavilion suddenly became quiet.
Her voice was so soft that it would have been ignored if people weren't paying attention. But because her words were so shocking, everyone fell silent and just stared at her with wide eyes.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng immediately asked, "Xinping, what did you just say?"
A look of panic suddenly flashed across Feng Qianyan's face.
Xin Ping said, "My Lady, give me acupuncture."
Nan Yan immediately said, "Xin Ping, which lady are you talking about?"
Xinping raised her hand and pointed directly at Feng Qianyan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said clearly, "Empress Ning!"
At this moment, Feng Qianyan became anxious. She said in a panic: "Don't talk nonsense! Your Majesty, what does a child know? Princess Xinping is still young, she is talking nonsense."
Nan Yan didn't even look at her, but only at Xin Ping, and said patiently, "Xin Ping, tell me again, did you see something?"
Xinping spoke more clearly this time: "Mother, I saw Concubine Ning giving her acupuncture!"
……!
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Feng Qianyan.
She suddenly became even more flustered, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "I'm pregnant, and the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital comes to see me every day. Even if they give me acupuncture, what's the problem?"
Nan Yan slowly straightened up and said calmly, "Of course it's nothing. Doctor Wang."
When Wang Baizhi heard her call, she hurried over and asked, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"
"Do you keep detailed records of the pulses and diagnoses you provide to the Empresses of each palace every day, including the medicines used and the acupuncture points?"
"certainly."
"Then, let's check who gave Concubine Ning acupuncture?"
"yes."
Because Concubine Ning suddenly gave birth prematurely, the people in the Imperial Hospital were on high alert. When Wang Baizhi arrived, she had already prepared the previous records, just in case there was anything that needed to be verified, so she could immediately take out the booklet and look through it.
Feng Qianyan's forehead was originally covered with sweat due to childbirth, and now, drops of cold sweat were dripping down.
After looking through the pages for a while, Wang Baizhi said, "To reply to the Imperial Concubine, there is no record of Concubine Ning performing acupuncture."
"oh……"
When Nan Yan heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows.
She glanced at Feng Qianyan with a half-smile and said, "That's strange. Since there's no record of Concubine Ning giving acupuncture in the official records, why did Xinping see Concubine Ning giving acupuncture?"
“…”
"Could it be that someone else has given you, Concubine Ning, acupuncture, but, can't, or -"
She deliberately dragged out her voice and said, "I dare not, record it."
Feng Qianyan's face turned pale and she looked up at her: "My Lady, what do you mean by this?"
“…”
"The child is mine. Would I harm her?"
Nan Yan looked at her calmly, even with a faint smile on her lips, and said, "How could I think so? As a mother, I certainly know that a mother would not harm her own children."
“…”
"I just want to know who gave you, Concubine Ning, the acupuncture needle, and what was the purpose?"
Feng Qianyan felt cold all over when she asked this question.
She also realized that Nan Yan was now completely destitute by the King of Wei, so she could talk nonsense to her to her heart's content. So she ignored her and hurriedly turned to Zhu Feng, crying, "Your Majesty, those are all nonsense. I only beg Your Majesty to be my concubine and decide for our child."
Zhu Feng looked down at her and said, "I will make the decision for you."
When Feng Qianyan heard this, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
But the next moment, Zhu Feng continued, "But why didn't you answer the question the imperial concubine just asked you?"
“……!”
"Who gave you the acupuncture?"
“…”
Feng Qianyan panicked. She hadn't expected Zhu Feng to have listened to Si Nanyan's words. She hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Princess Xinping is still young. Children always like to talk nonsense. Does Your Majesty want to punish me for just one casual remark?"
“…”
"How can you trust the words of a child?"
“…”
"I'm afraid she was instigated by someone to frame me. She's so young, what does she know?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded silently.
Although Princess Xinping's words were very shocking, she was only two years old after all. What a two-year-old child said was naturally just nonsense, and no one would take it seriously.
Now, it depends on what the emperor says.
Zhu Feng raised his head, looked at Xinping in his arms, and said solemnly: "Xinping, what you just said, was it taught to you by someone?"
Xinping immediately shook his head: "No."
Feng Qianyan said hurriedly, "Then, it's possible that she saw someone else giving acupuncture somewhere else."
Zhu Feng ignored her and only asked, "When did you see the Empress giving acupuncture?"
Xinping only thought about it and immediately said, "Cat!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately thought of the day when Qin Ruolan used the excuse of looking for a cat to go to Jianfu Palace and make a big fuss. Afterwards, it was the imperial concubine who came to calm the storm.
At that time, the imperial concubine said that the lost cat was found by Princess Shinpei.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qianyan panicked even more and said, "A cat can go anywhere. Who knows where it was found? Is the Imperial Concubine going to conclude that the princess is in my Jianfu Palace based on this?"
“…”
Nan Yan didn't say anything, but just narrowed her eyes slightly.
A light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
She smiled and said, "This, I may actually be able to determine."
"What?!"
Feng Qianyan looked at her in disbelief. You know, it had been so long since the incident happened, a cat couldn't talk, and Princess Xinping was so young. As long as she insisted that she was talking nonsense, no one could convict her.
But why did the imperial concubine say that she could be certain?
She looked at Nan Yan nervously, but saw Nan Yan walk over, take Princess Xinping from Zhu Feng's arms, carefully unbutton the first button of her jacket, and expose her neck to everyone.
Zhu Feng took one look and immediately said, "These rashes...?"
Nan Yan said, "I think the King of Wei has already told the Emperor that these rashes appeared the day Xinping held the cat."
"Um."
"And the Imperial Pharmacy and the Imperial Hospital have long had records that Xinping is not very sensitive to chicken-speech incense, also known as cloves. Every time she comes into contact with it, she develops a small rash like this."
"That--"
When Feng Qianyan heard this, her face turned pale and she sat down on the ground.
Nan Yan said calmly, "When I came in just now, I saw that everyone had put away the incense burner on the windowsill in preparation for Concubine Ning's birth."
“…”
"I wonder what kind of fragrance is inside."
