Chapter 1426: Telepathy
Ran Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat: "You mean, she will also -"
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It seems that even though the previous attempt to change the medicine failed due to the interference of Concubine Hui and the others, she hasn't given up on Concubine Ning."
Ran Xiaoyu's expression became more and more solemn.
She folded the clothes again and put them aside, then walked to Nan Yan's side and said softly, "Does she want to continue to harm Concubine Ning?"
"I'm afraid so."
“…”
"No one can tell whether Concubine Ning's baby is a boy or a girl. At least, there's a 50-50 chance."
“…”
"But she didn't want to gamble."
Having said that, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Once upon a time, I was blessed with the possibility of having both a son and a daughter, but in the end, I was not able to have both.
This is probably fate.
Ran Xiaoyu continued, "Then, what does it mean that she gave you this dress?"
Nan Yan glanced at the folded clothes and said slowly, "She hopes I won't interfere."
“…”
"She must understand that I know the reason behind this dressing change and the Fuzi Decoction. She's worried that I might get involved and ruin her plans."
Speaking of this, Nan Yan smiled faintly: "This, she is overthinking it."
“…”
"I have no interest in their affairs."
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at her.
indeed.
From a long time ago, Nan Yan rarely bothered with the people in the harem. She would usually fight back when others provoked trouble, but she would rarely take the initiative to cause trouble.
But this time——
Ran Xiaoyu thought for a long time and said softly, "My Lady, do you still remember what this servant said to you?"
“…”
Hearing these words, Nan Yan's heart moved slightly.
She turned her head to look at Ran Xiaoyu, only to see that her eyes were also flickering, staring at her intently.
Of course, I didn’t forget.
She reminded herself that if Concubine Ning gave birth to a princess, it would be beneficial to her.
That would prove her innocence.
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said, "He and I have already come to this point, why bother with this innocence?"
“…”
Hearing her say this, Ran Xiaoyu felt as if her heart was cut by a knife for some reason.
She whispered, "My Lady..."
Nan Yan smiled faintly at her: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Um."
"Tomorrow is the winter solstice. The emperor wants to take me and Xinping out of the palace for a walk. You should come with me and go down to get ready."
"yes."
"As for Aunt Tongyun, Nianqiu and the others, they will stay in the palace and have a good holiday."
"I will tell them."
"Okay, go down."
"yes."
Ran Xiaoyu nodded and was about to leave with the dress, but Nan Yan asked her to put it down and take another look at it, so she left alone.
When I reached the door, I turned around and saw Nan Yan still staring at the dress in a daze.
Ran Xiaoyu sighed and closed the door.

Zhu Feng arrived early the next morning.
He rarely gave himself a day off. Normally, even during the Chinese New Year, he would take out an hour or two when everyone else was on vacation to go to the Imperial Study to review memorials.
Today, however, the morning court was cancelled, giving all the ministers the opportunity to celebrate the festival at home.
Everyone was naturally happy.
Nan Yan also got ready early in the morning. She put on thick clothes and a wind cloak, stood under the eaves, and watched Zhu Feng stride in.
Because he was going out of the palace, he wore ordinary clothes. However, because he was tall, had a good figure, and was handsome and heroic, even an ordinary blue cloth gown looked particularly outstanding on him, and even had a bit of gorgeousness.
He walked up to Nan Yan, looked at her, and immediately laughed.
Nan Yan bowed to him, and seeing him smiling at her, she asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what are you laughing at?"
Zhu Feng said, "Your outfit matches mine quite well."
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned and looked down at herself, only to find that in order to leave the palace today, she had someone specially picked out an ordinary dress, which was also a long blue cloth skirt.
It’s true, they match well.
Aunt Tongyun stood aside, her eyes narrowed with laughter, and said, "This is probably what telepathy means."
When Zhu Feng heard this, the smile on his face deepened.
He turned around and whispered a few words to Eunuch Yu. Eunuch Yu immediately stepped forward and said to Aunt Tongyun and Nianqiu, "Today is a festival, and the Emperor has a reward. The people from Yikun Palace will go and claim it later."
Everyone immediately knelt down in joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Nan Yan looked at him helplessly.
Zhu Feng said, "Let's go to Chengqian Palace to pick up Xinping first."
"yes."
So, the two of them went to Chengqian Palace together.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard a burst of cheerful laughter coming from inside.
They walked in immediately and saw wooden stakes and targets standing in the spacious open space in Chengqian Palace, as well as two wooden racks with various weapons placed on them.
This is what Zhu Chengxuan uses when he gets up early every day to practice martial arts.
Today, it’s past the time for practicing.
At this moment, Zhu Chengxuan was squatting on the ground, holding the plump little Xiao Ping in his arms. He handed her a specially made small bow and said softly, "Be careful, don't pinch your hands."
"Know."
A tender voice responded.
It turned out that he was teaching his sister archery.
Xinping took the small bow and the small arrow that the King of Wei had specially sharpened for her, aimed at the target in front of her, and released it. The arrow immediately fell to the ground at her feet.
“Great!”
Zhu Chengxuan said calmly, "I shot it this time, and I'll be able to hit the target next time!"
Hearing him praising her like that, Xinping jumped for joy in his arms.
The two were laughing when they accidentally looked up and saw the emperor and the imperial concubine standing in front of them. The King of Wei was so frightened that he immediately stood up and saluted: "Father, Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine."
"Father! Mother!"
Unlike the cautious King of Wei, when he saw them, Xinping threw away his small bow and flew straight up.
Zhu Feng picked her up.
He smiled and said, "What is Xinping doing?"
Xinping smiled, one hand holding his neck, the other pointing at the target in front of him, and crisply said, "Shoot!"
"Learn archery from your brother?"
"I have to protect my father and my mother!"
Hearing her say this, the smile in Zhu Feng's eyes deepened.
"My heart is calm and I have great ambition!"
“Wahahaha…”
Seeing the father and daughter like this, Zhu Chengxuan, who was standing obediently by the side, showed a hint of envy and could only lower his head.
Nan Yan, however, looked at him, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Xin Ping must have been annoying you these past few days."
Zhu Chengxuan immediately waved his hands: "No, no, my sister is very well behaved."
"Really?"
"With her around, studying and practicing martial arts doesn't feel so tiring."
