Chapter 2118 A good show is about to begin
She originally wanted to take advantage of the Imperial Concubine's pregnancy to pose a threat to the Queen and the King of Wei, and induce the two to fight each other so that she could reap the benefits.
But now, Gao Yurong is gone, and Si Muzhen is also dead.
She herself also mobilized so many people.
Now, not only did these two people not fight each other or become enemies, but they formed an alliance and prepared to jointly push the King of Wei to the position of crown prince.
Then wouldn't it be like losing both the wife and the army?
Thinking of this, Wu Wan flew into a rage and slammed the table: "Damn it!"
Chen Lianxiang said, "Don't be anxious, madam, or you might get hurt by anger."
Wu Wan gritted her teeth and said viciously, "How can I stand by and watch them be so proud? If this continues, where will I put my face?"
Seeing her so angry, Shen Lianxiang fell silent.
She carefully stepped aside and sat on a chair nearby.
Wu Wan was angry for a long time, and suddenly came to her senses. She turned around and saw Chen Lianxiang sitting beside her. Looking at her angry face, she couldn't help but get angry: "You have nothing to do!"
Only then did Shen Lianxiang stand up: "How dare I."
“…”
"Your Majesty is so troubled, I am naturally thinking of ways to relieve your worries, and I dare not be idle."
"Think of a solution? What solution can you come up with?"
Wu Wan looked at her with disdain.
A mere concubine could only eavesdrop a little.
From her disdainful eyes, Shen Lianxiang naturally saw what Wu Wan was thinking. She just said calmly: "Although my words don't count, I have already done everything that the queen asked me to do."
Wu Wan raised her eyebrows slightly: "You mean, something that made the imperial concubine unhappy?"
"Exactly."
Chen Lianxiang said softly, "I have had people spread rumors among the newly arrived concubines. Now, everyone knows that the Imperial Concubine is tyrannical and domineering in the harem, and the concubines are almost all in danger."
Wu Wan snorted coldly: "What's the point of scaring those people?"
“…”
"Do they dare to attack the imperial concubine?"
Chen Lianxiang smiled and said, "My Lady, the good show won't start so soon."
"Um?"
Wu Wan turned to look at her: "What do you mean——"
Chen Lianxiang said, "Please pay attention, Madam, and continue reading."
Wu Wan looked at her for a while and said calmly, "Well, let's see what kind of good show you can direct to open my eyes."

For the next few days, Nan Yan stayed indoors.
Firstly, she felt a little bored because of what Zhu Feng said; secondly, as the month progressed, her belly became heavier and she felt too lazy to move.
What’s more important is naturally because of that incident.
The incident happened in Yiku Palace, and everyone was watching. Now there was an uproar inside and outside the palace. She didn't want to go out, so as to avoid being talked about by everyone and even being implicated in the incident.
So, he stayed in Yikun Palace, playing with Xinping every day and bickering with Ran Xiaoyu.
Life is quite comfortable.
But no matter how comfortable I feel, there is still someone in my heart.
That afternoon, Nan Yan had just woken up from her nap when she heard Xiao Shunzi outside bringing another ice tray. Nian Qiu went to greet him and said with a smile, "Eunuch Shun is here again?"
Xiao Shunzi said with a smile, "How dare this servant neglect the things used by the Imperial Concubine?"
She had the ice tray brought in, and then she carefully said to Nan Yan, who was resting on the couch, "Your Majesty is about to give birth. Although the weather is hot, you must not seek coolness. The same goes for Your Highness the Princess. I will bring some fresh fruits later."
After hearing this, Nan Yan just smiled.
Ran Xiaoyu gave him some money, Xiao Shunzi took it and left happily.
Ran Xiaoyu turned around and said with a smile: "Eunuch Shun's tone is becoming more and more like the emperor."
“…”
"I have instructed Her Majesty, and I also reminded Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Nan Yan glanced at her, smiled and said nothing.
Who doesn’t know this?
Aunt Tongyun brought in some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. Because it was too hot, she put it aside to cool. Upon hearing what Ran Xiaoyu said, she came over and said softly, "Although the emperor is angry, he is still thinking about the queen. On the contrary, it is the queen who is still angry with the emperor."
Nan Yan pouted.
Ran Xiaoyu said to Aunt Tongyun, "Aunt, don't talk about her. The queen is pregnant now and looks more like a child."
“…”
"Now that he doesn't even take the emperor seriously, how can he listen to our advice?"
Aunt Tongyun smiled and shook her head.
Nan Yan said, "You're the only one with a mouth. You've been buzzing in my ear like a mosquito these past two days."
“…”
"Are you serving me or the Emperor?"
Ran Xiaoyu also pouted and turned her face to the side.
Aunt Tongyun gently blew on the still steaming medicine to cool it down before handing it to Nanyan. She smiled and said, "How could Her Majesty not know Miss Xiaoyu's feelings? The Emperor and Her Majesty are able to get along, and we, as servants, are happy to serve them."
Nan Yan didn't say anything then.
He just took the bowl of medicine, didn't complain, and drank it all while pinching his nose.
After she finished drinking, there was a plate of pickled plums in front of her. Ran Xiaoyu ignored her again and just turned and walked away.
Nan Yan reached out and picked up one, bringing it to her mouth. She chewed it briefly to suppress the bitter taste in her mouth. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked yet, how is the Empress doing recently?"
Speaking of this, Aunt Tongyun sighed.
He said, "It seems that I rushed here from Yonghe Palace that night and was hit by the cold wind. Now I am even sicker."
Nan Yan frowned when she heard this: "Is it okay?"
Nian Qiu said, "There are doctors from the Imperial Hospital who go there every day, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Nan Yan sighed, "She was overwhelmed by the recent incident involving the King of Wei, and her mind was damaged. Now she's having this illness and can't handle it anymore. As a person, you should worry less and take better care of yourself."
Aunt Tongyun smiled and said, "The Queen is still talking about others."
Nan Yan also smiled.
After eating two plums and drinking some tea, Nan Yan felt a little better and then she got up from the couch. Aunt Tongyun hurriedly supported her and asked, "Your Highness, are you going out?"
Nan Yan said, "I haven't been out for a few days. I'm feeling bored and want to go out and take a look."
"Where are you going, my lady?"
"Uh, let's go check out the Imperial Study."
Upon hearing this, Ran Xiaoyu, who was originally standing aside with her face turned to the side, suddenly turned her head and looked at her.
Nan Yan said with a half-smile, "Do you want to come over and help me?"
Ran Xiaoyu hurried over and helped her put on her clothes. Nan Yan then held back her laughter and took her and the other two out of Yiku Palace.
Aunt Tongyun and Nianqiu also breathed a sigh of relief.
As I said, as long as the emperor and the imperial concubine are well, they will be happy to serve them as servants.
