Chapter 1718 How did the Queen find out?
"ah……!"
Nan Yan sat on the couch, looking at the closed door with a serious expression. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
it hurts!
She couldn't help but moan softly and put her hands on her chest. The pain suddenly spread to her heart, almost making it difficult for her to breathe.
What's going on?
She frowned uncomfortably, gritted her teeth and took a few deep breaths.
It must have been just now, when I fired that crossbow arrow, the recoil of the crossbow hit my chest along with my elbow. I thought the pain would go away after a while, but unexpectedly, it still hurts.
I don’t know if it caused bruises.
Nan Yan put her hand on her chest and rubbed it gently.
Originally, she should have asked someone to call Wang Baizhi to take her pulse at this time, but Tingfu and the others had all retreated after hearing her instructions.
Now, there is no one near the imperial concubine's residence.
However, in this quiet night, footsteps were heard outside, slowly coming from far away and approaching the door.
Nan Yan raised her head.
The footsteps stopped at the door, as if hesitating for a moment.
Nan Yan had already put down her hand and said calmly to the door, "Since you're already here, why don't you come in?"
“…”
"After tonight, you might not have such an opportunity again."
Although it was still quiet outside the door, there was a distinct sense of shock in the quiet air.
Then, Nan Yan heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door——
"The Imperial Concubine knows I'm coming?"
Nan Yan sneered.
She didn't answer anything, and since there was no one outside the door anymore, she reached out and pushed the door open.
With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind carrying the chill of snow foam rushed into the room, making the clothes of the person at the door flutter, as if they were flowers on the branches in the wind, which could be destroyed by the gale at any time and blown to the ends of the earth.
But Nan Yan looked at her with cold eyes.
"You are finally here,"
Nan Yan said word by word: "Xue Ling, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
The person standing at the door was Xue Ling, whom I hadn't seen in the past few days.
She stood at the door, her thin clothes fluttering in the wind, but she didn't seem to feel cold at all. Except for the corners of her clothes flying in the wind, her whole body was motionless, as if she could stand firm in the strong wind.
Such determination, or such a mindset, is truly rare.
Nan Yan looked at her for a while, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "It's really rare."
Xue Ling narrowed his eyes slightly.
Normally, when she saw the imperial concubine, she would be very polite and would come forward to kowtow and pay her respects, but at this moment, she just stood there quietly, without coming forward, let alone any intention of coming forward to pay her respects.
Hearing Nan Yan's words, he asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Madam?"
Nan Yan said, "It's rare for a little girl like you to have such a heart."
Xue Ling smiled.
It seemed that he took this as a compliment.
Nan Yan also smiled and said, "What I said is superfluous."
“…”
"Without such a heart, you wouldn't have dared to sneak into the Shazhou Guards and the Duwei Mansion among those people. After shooting Ye Zheng, you stayed here, waiting for the Emperor and me to arrive. And you were still able to act so perfectly without anyone noticing."
Xue Ling's eyes flickered.
She said, "No one noticed? Didn't the Queen also notice it?"
At this point, she seemed curious as well.
"My Lady, how did you find out?"
