Chapter 1466 Someone doesn’t want me to ask anything
"It seems to be related to the mother's childbirth."
"oh?!"
Feng Qianyan immediately became alert.
Now, it doesn’t matter who lives or dies. What matters most to her is her own delivery and whether she can give birth to the child smoothly.
So he immediately asked, "So, when did he say he would come again?"
"Doctor Han said he will come back tomorrow to discuss the birth with the Empress."
"Okay, let's wait until he comes tomorrow."
Feng Qianyan nodded and lay back down on the bed.
She originally planned to close her eyes and rest for a while, but Hanxiang leaned close to her ear and told her the news from outside.
Feng Qianyan murmured, "Lipin? Feng Shu? Who is she?"
Xiao Duozi stepped forward and whispered, "This Lipin was originally a dancer sent to the emperor by the Kingdom of Dan. Later, she gained favor and was canonized as Lipin."
"Why haven't I seen her in the harem?"
"When the Queen entered the palace, she had already fallen out of favor and disappeared."
"Gone? How could a good person disappear?"
"We, the servants, can't explain this for sure. We just heard that she seemed to be involved in some major case. Of course, the most important thing is that she offended the Imperial Concubine."
"Oh? How did you offend me?"
"At that time, the Imperial Concubine was also in favor, but the Emperor suddenly began to favor Lipin, and the Imperial Concubine was naturally dissatisfied."
“…”
"Later, the Emperor still wanted to give Princess Xinping to her for upbringing, but it didn't happen."
"There's such a thing."
"yes."
"Then why didn't it work out?"
"I heard it was the Imperial Concubine who was crying and making a scene. Oh, and that shrewd girl next to her named Ran Xiaoyu even tried to attack Lipin, so the Emperor threw her into jail. It was quite a scene."
Although Feng Shu had never experienced this, she couldn't help but sneer when she heard that Si Nanyan had suffered such a loss before.
It turns out that she is just like that.
Xiao Duozi continued, "But not long afterward, the capital was moved, the grand altar sacrifices were held, and Prince Ning's rebellion occurred one after another. No one in the palace saw Lipin since then, and everyone thought she was dead. It was only because of today's incident that everyone realized she was still alive—but of course, she was also dead."
“…”
"That's right, his death was strange."
"How strange is that?"
"It's said that Concubine Li has been crazy for such a long time, and no one knows her whereabouts. She is still alive and well. But yesterday, she was caught by the Imperial Concubine. One night, she hanged herself. If this is not strange, what is it?"
“…”
A cold light flashed in Feng Qianyan's eyes.
"That's not strange."
“…”
“This is cruel and ruthless.”
As she spoke, she gritted her teeth, a sinister glint in her eyes: "If this baby of mine falls into her hands in the future, I'm afraid it won't end well."
She lowered her head and reached out to gently touch her bulging belly.

Rumors were circulating everywhere in the palace about the imperial concubine being vicious and forcing a madman to death. It was not until the evening, when Nan Yan had finished her dinner in the emperor's bedroom and returned to the Yiku Palace, that she heard some people talking about it through the wall.
She also stopped and sat down in front of the dressing table.
As Ran Xiaoyu was removing the hair ornaments from her head, she said, "Those people are gossiping about her, please don't be angry, Madam."
Nan Yan said calmly, "I'm angry with them, but I can't calm down yet."
"What is the lady thinking?"
"I'm thinking about—Feng Shu."
Hearing her mention Feng Shu, Ran Xiaoyu frowned: "My Lady, the person is gone, don't think too much about it."
Nan Yan placed her hands on the table, her fingers scratching unconsciously. She looked at Ran Xiaoyu helping her to unravel her hair in the bronze mirror, and then said, "Don't you think her death was strange?"
"strangeness?"
"We found her yesterday and she died today."
“…”
"I wanted to ask her something, but she was sometimes lucid and sometimes crazy, and she couldn't say anything. I had planned to ask her again today."
"Then she—"
"She died today. It seems like someone didn't want me to find out anything."
Ran Xiaoyu stopped, bent down, and said softly, "What does the Queen want to ask her?"
Nan Yan lowered her voice and said, "It's about my father."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide, thought for a moment, and then said, "But who in this palace would not want the Empress to find out about this?"
“…”
This question stumped Nan Yan.
In fact, there were only a few people in the palace who knew about this.
She sighed and said, "Maybe I'm just imagining things, but—it's hard not to feel a little sad that a living person, whom I just met, died overnight."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "It's sad, but she treated you like that back then. You shouldn't be too particular about her. Repaying evil with kindness is not a wise thing to do."
Nan Yan couldn't help but laugh: "You, what are you talking about repaying evil with kindness? Am I that kind of person?"
Having said that, he put the matter behind him.
After Ran Xiaoyu had untied her hair and helped her wash and get into bed, Nan Yan said, "By the way, the emperor said today that a banquet will be held in the warm pavilion on the eve of the Chinese New Year, and all the concubines in the palace will be there. Please prepare my clothes for that day, and also prepare Xin Ping to wear something nice."
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her: "Your Highness usually doesn't pay attention to this, why is she preparing for it this time?"
Nan Yan said, "The Emperor meant that that day should be Xinping's birthday."
"oh……"
Ran Xiaoyu understood and said with a smile: "Then, I will make sure to prepare everything for the queen and the princess."
Nan Yan just smiled faintly.
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Why does your Majesty look unhappy?"
As she spoke, she was about to lower the bed curtain, but suddenly she thought of something and stopped, saying, "If all the concubines in the harem were to attend such a banquet, I'm afraid something might happen again."
Nan Yan raised her eyes and looked at her: "Why do you think I am unhappy?"
“…”
These days, except for the time when she went to save Qin Ruolan, she tried her best to avoid showing up in the harem, just because she didn't want to cause any more trouble.
But Zhu Feng was just about to celebrate Xiao Xiaoping's birthday.
This banquet may be described as lively and bustling, but if someone were to try to do something, it would be unclear whether it would be lively or chaotic.
Ran Xiaoyu thought about it and comforted her: "Don't think too much, my lady, I am here."
“…”
"No way, there's still the Emperor."
“…”
"Now, the Emperor is afraid that something might happen to the Empress, so he protects her in everything and will never let anyone else get in trouble."
After hearing her words, Nan Yan felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.
He just said calmly: "It's hard to talk about what happened in the palace."
