Chapter 2218: Queen, something bad has happened——
Nan Yan thought silently for a while.
Said: "Not necessarily."
Ran Xiaoyu asked hurriedly: "Why?"
Nan Yan glanced at the pile of musk beads, then looked back at the mess on the ground. She said calmly, "Do you still remember who gave this statue of Guanyin to me?"
“…”
Everyone was stunned.
Aunt Tongyun said immediately: "It's Hui—it's Wu!"
"good,"
Nan Yan nodded and said calmly, "If I remember correctly, she had just been restored to the throne at that time and came to Beiping City to express her gratitude. She also brought many things for me as 'thank you gifts', and this statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, was brought by her on behalf of the Empress."
Aunt Tongyun said hurriedly: "I remember now."
"Um."
"At the beginning, the Empress had everything she brought thrown away, but this was the only thing she kept, and she even displayed it."
Nan Yan said, "Of course we can't throw away the things the Queen gave us, let alone put them away."
Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing by, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, are you saying that these things might have been done by Wu on the way?"
"Very likely."
“…”
"She wants to harm me, but she must also know that I will dispose of anything she sends."
“…”
"This is the only gift from the Empress. I cannot and dare not deal with it."
“…”
"It's safest for her to tamper with this thing."
Ran Xiaoyu also nodded slightly.
After a while, he continued, "But now, Wu is dead. There is no evidence, and there is no way to ask her."
Ultimately, the probability is still fifty-fifty.
Aunt Tongyun stood aside and said softly, "Your Majesty, would you like to find an opportunity to test the Queen's attitude?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent and didn't speak immediately.
Queen...
For the sake of truth, she did want to go.
But she didn't dare to go.
If the result of her question is the one she least wants, how will she face the queen and get along with her in the future?
She is not the aggressive type and doesn't want to have enemies around her all the time.
What's more, it's someone like the Queen.
But if you don’t ask clearly, you will feel like there is a huge stone pressing on your heart.
I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside. When I turned around, I saw Tingfu running in hurriedly with a panicked look on his face.
Aunt Tongyun immediately asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so panicked?"
Tingfu ran over, knelt in front of Nanyan, and said breathlessly, "My queen, please go to Yonghe Palace and take a look."
"Yonghe Palace?"
When she heard these three words, Nan Yan frowned again.
I just thought of going to the Queen to ask for clarification, and now you ask her to go to Yonghe Palace?
She said, "What's wrong?"
Tingfu said with a sad face, "I just went out and heard the news outside that the Empress, she, is in trouble."
"What?!"
Nan Yan was shocked and quickly stood up from the couch.
This time she jumped up too fast and suddenly felt dizzy and staggered. Fortunately, Ran Xiaoyu and the others immediately supported her.
Nan Yan swayed twice before she managed to stand steady and let out a deep breath.
Then he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Tingfu said, "Just now, when I was outside, I saw people from Yonghe Palace invite all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital over, and some even went to the court to invite the emperor. I asked and found out, Your Majesty, something is wrong—"
“……!”
Nan Yan’s face turned pale.
Aunt Tongyun and the others wanted to help her sit down, but Nanyan had already raised her hand, gently pushed them away, and said, "Quick, help me go--"
Having said this, she paused.
She changed her words and said, "Help me with my makeup."
"My Lady."
"If the Queen is truly ill, I... must go and see her off."
Hearing her say this, Aunt Tongyun and the others looked at each other, stopped talking, and immediately helped her sit down and helped her comb her hair and change her clothes.

Inside the Yonghe Palace, there was already a gloomy atmosphere.
The curtain in the main hall was lowered. Outside the curtain, most of the concubines from various palaces had arrived. Standing in the front row was Concubine Shun Xinqing, who had the best relationship with the Queen. Her eyes were red from crying.
People around her kept urging her to sit down and rest, but she refused.
Also, there is King Wei Zhu Chengxuan standing beside him.
He didn't cry, but his eyes were red. He stood there, stiff and speechless, his hands clenched tightly, and veins on the back of his hands were bulging.
Through the curtain, I could only barely see the thin figure lying on the bed.
Zhu Feng was sitting beside the bed.
Just now, he was attending the morning court in front when the people from Yonghe Palace informed Eunuch Yu of the Queen's situation. Eunuch Yu hurriedly told him that he had to give up the morning court and come over immediately.
I saw the face in front of me, which was so pale that there was not even a trace of blood.
Even with a hint of light blue-gray.
His breathing was weak, and he lay in the quilt, almost unable to feel the rise and fall of his body.
Zhu Feng came from the battlefield, and even after ascending the throne, he had experienced many separations and deaths. He knew too well that Xu Miaoyin was already on her deathbed at this time.
Even a heart as hard as iron felt excruciating pain at this moment.
"The Queen?"
He cried out.
But Xu Miaoyin, who had been in a coma since early morning, didn't feel anything at all. She still had her eyes closed and was breathing weakly.
"Wonderful sound..."
He called out softly again.
At this time, Xu Miaoyin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
The pupils seemed to dilate and turn a light gray.
Zhu Feng's heart sank into the abyss.
But he still forced himself to smile, and said in a soft voice, "Awake?"
"……emperor?"
Xu Miaoyin seemed unable to believe her eyes and stared at him blankly for a long time.
Then he asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Her words were barely audible.
Only when you get this close can you hear it.
Zhu Feng said softly, "I came to see you."
Xu Miaoyin said, "Shouldn't the Emperor be attending the morning court? The Emperor... the government affairs cannot be abolished."
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "I have already left the morning court."
"That's good."
Only then did Xu Miaoyin nodded slightly.
Having said that, she laughed again.
Then she said, "Your Majesty, please don't think I'm nagging. As the Empress of the Central Palace, it is my responsibility to advise Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng's voice choked slightly.
Said: "How could I dislike you?"
“…”
"You are a good queen, I couldn't ask for more."
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyin smiled.
The curved eyes made the gray face look a little lively.
And then she said softly: "I'm afraid this time, it's really serious."
