Chapter 1497 I shouldn’t have slept so long
"In my opinion, don't worry about her. She is much more resourceful than us."
“…”
Everyone didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although vying for favor seems to be an eternal theme in the harem, everyone has seen clearly over the years that the emperor's favor for the imperial concubine is different from theirs.
A few days ago, the emperor was still furious because the imperial concubine had a miscarriage, and the rift between the two of them had arisen. Now, it has been confirmed that Feng Qianyan was deliberately behind the scenes. In addition, the imperial concubine had suffered so many grievances before, so the emperor naturally wanted to compensate her and pamper her more, which was understandable.
Concubine Hui's anger came out of nowhere.
Depin stepped forward and said with a smile, "The Emperor is sad about the little princess's matter, and there's nothing we can do. With the Imperial Concubine here, she can comfort the Emperor, and it will also be beneficial to all the sisters in our harem."
“…”
When Wu Wan heard such conciliatory words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
However, no matter how lower Depin's rank was than hers, she knew very well the position of this woman in the emperor's heart, so it was not easy to say anything to her.
He just sneered and said, "After all, Depin is Depin!"
Xin Qing naturally heard the sarcasm in her words, so she just smiled slightly and said, "I heard that Concubine Hui is not feeling well. You should go back early to rest and recuperate."
Having said that, he bowed to her and left with everyone else.
Concubine Hui stared coldly at her back.
Concubine An stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, why do you look unhappy?"
"Hmph, do you think I can be in a good mood?"
Wu Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Feng Qianyan is fine, but if Si Nanyan comes along again, how can we still have a good life?"
"this--"
Gao Yurong frowned and said, "Yes, although she didn't believe Feng Qianyan's words last night, she couldn't tell what she was thinking. She might just want to bring Feng Qianyan down and put the blame on her."
“…”
"She and the Empress have never gotten along."
Wu Wan took a deep breath and said, "Maybe she's already thinking about how to take revenge on me."
“…”
"From now on, I don't know how much she will whisper in the emperor's ear."
“…”
Gao Yurong listened and frowned.
She was sent by Wu Yingqiu to be by Wu Wan's side to give her advice. She had indeed given her a lot of ideas these days, but no matter what they did, after going through so many hardships, Si Nanyan remained standing firm, which made her feel a little exhausted.
She whispered, "My Lady..."
"Okay, let's go back first."
Wu Wanyi flicked her sleeves and turned to walk back.
Looking at her back, Gao Yurong frowned slightly, but could only hurriedly follow her.

The sun moves from east to west, and time passes little by little. In the blink of an eye, it is evening.
The fiery sunset shines on the unmelted snow on the corners of the walls and eaves, reflecting a dazzling flame-like light. Even in the room with closed doors and windows, this shining light makes the whole room feel like it is burning.
And Nan Yan...
Nature is burning.
She had been forced to lie in bed for a whole day, and her bones were sore. Because she wanted to rest in this side hall, Eunuch Yu specially had a floor heating system and a stove prepared, and the bedding was also very thick.
But even without these things, just the man in my arms...
He was like a furnace.
Nan Yan was held so tightly by him that she was sweating profusely. As the sun was setting outside, she wondered if he didn't wake up, would she have to spend another night here?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan had no choice.
She looked down at Zhu Feng. She didn't know if it was because of the fiery sunset shining through the window on his face, but his face looked a little red. Although normally, there wouldn't be anything that could make his old face turn red.
But it seems that some of them are——
Nan Yan shook her head vigorously, getting rid of the two words that should not be associated with this man from her mind, then she took a deep breath, reached out and grabbed his arm, and shook it gently.
"emperor."
“…”
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up."
“…”
"Your Majesty, the morning court is over. It's almost dark."
“…”
"There are still many memorials piled up in the imperial study."
“…”
She shook several times, but that little bit of strength was nothing to this man with a body as big as a mountain. He murmured, buried his face deeper in his arms, and rubbed it gently, as if he was going to sleep even more deeply.
Nan Yan frowned and finally couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, my back hurts so much that I can't sit still any longer."
This time, it seemed to react again.
She saw the handsome profile in her arms, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, then he opened his eyes and looked up at her.
“…”
“…”
The two looked at each other for a while.
I don’t know if it’s because the sunlight is too strong at this time, but it makes his eyes bright, and he doesn’t have the drowsy feeling of just waking up at all.
However, he looked at himself blankly, as if he had just woken up from a dream and was still a little dazed.
Nan Yan then said, "Your Majesty...it's time to get up."
“…”
"It's getting dark."
“…”
Zhu Feng blinked again, and this time, as if he had finally come to his senses, he murmured in a low voice, "Is it dark?"
As he spoke, he slowly loosened his hands that had been clasping her back for almost the entire day.
Only then did Nan Yan heave a long sigh of relief.
On this day, it felt like I had a pair of shackles around my waist, but I finally felt relieved!
Zhu Feng slowly stood up by supporting himself on the bed, and sat on the edge of the bed looking at her. The two of them looked at each other like this, and for a moment, they seemed to not know what to say.
After a while, he said, "You——"
Nan Yan didn't wait for him to say anything. She raised her head and shouted to the outside, "The Emperor has risen."
As soon as they heard her words, action was immediately taken outside.
Eunuch Yu, accompanied by several young eunuchs and Ran Xiaoyu, hurried in. Seeing the emperor already sitting beside the bed, they hurried over to kowtow to him and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her, then looked at the person kneeling on the ground.
After a while, he said, "How long have I slept?"
Eunuch Yu lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been sleeping since this morning, for several hours."
"Have you been asleep for so long?"
“…”
"No wonder my head hurts so much."
“…”
"I shouldn't have slept so long."
Hearing this, Ran Xiaoyu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly started coughing.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
