Chapter 766 If this is true, it will be troublesome
Qin Ruolan's eyes widened in shock: "You——!"
Nan Yan ate one spoonful after another silently, slowly finishing the small half bowl of milk soup with cattail leaves, and then put down the bowl.
Smiling, he asked, "Any questions?"
“…”
“…”
The two looked at each other, both confused. Wu Wan's brows were twisted into a knot, staring at Qin Ruolan, as if blaming: Didn't you say that these two things are incompatible?
Qin Ruolan's face was pale and he said nothing.
She subconsciously looked at Nan Yan's belly.
Nan Yan took the handkerchief offered by Nian Qiu, wiped the corner of her mouth, and then said, "Empress Ning is right. Venison and cattail are indeed mutually exclusive. However, I never said that the barbecue you just ate was venison."
The two were stunned.
"What?"
"That, that is——"
"It's just ordinary roasted yellow mutton. The taste is a bit similar to venison."
“…”
"Isn't eating mutton in winter also a good thing for warming and nourishing the body?"
Wu Wan's throat was choked and she couldn't speak.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Princess Kang, please sit down. Don't bother the Emperor over a small misunderstanding. Otherwise, if the Emperor gets angry, I'm afraid he'll send you back to Jinling again."
When Wu Wan heard this, her face immediately darkened.
Qin Ruolan's face was also ashen. It was rare for her to have such emotions. Her eyes were as cold as ice as she said, "My Lady, I don't understand what you mean."
Nan Yan looked at the two of them. In the brightly lit room, she could see every subtle expression on their faces clearly.
She looked at it for a while, then smiled faintly and said, "It's just that I want to invite you two to come over for dinner."
“…”
"I didn't expect that I would be so unhappy while eating."
“…”
"never mind."
After she finished speaking, she stood up by herself, holding onto the table, and said calmly, "I will not keep you two here in vain."
“…”
Wu Wan glanced at her.
Then, he turned around and left.
Qin Ruolan also stood up, glanced at Nan Yan, and said, "Your method is too clumsy."
Nan Yan smiled.
She also walked away.
As soon as they left, Ran Xiaoyu hurried over, closed the door, and walked forward.
"My Lady, how is it?"
Nan Yan didn't speak immediately. Instead, she frowned and thought for a long time before she said, "Tingfu, when you went over there to invite Concubine Kang over, did she say anything?"
Tingfu thought for a moment and immediately said, "When Concubine Kang saw me coming over, she seemed a little flustered."
"oh?"
"When I told her I wanted to invite her to the banquet, she immediately said, 'What's wrong with your concubine? Why are you inviting me to the banquet?'"
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan's breath sank slightly.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "That's her!"
It was obvious that she seemed to know what would happen to the imperial concubine today. Perhaps she had been waiting for some news there.
So, when she saw Tingfu coming over, she was worried that the matter would be exposed and became a little panicked.
When she heard that they were going to be invited to dinner, she panicked even more and asked the imperial concubine what had happened. She was probably worried that she would be retaliated against like Xia Yunting last time.
Nian Qiu said angrily: "This person is so cruel!"
Nan Yan didn't say anything, but just sat in her seat with a slightly frown.
Is it really Concubine Kang Wu Wan?
You know, the method used to harm people during the day is a bit complicated.
Although she was not close to Wu Wan, she had gotten to know her somewhat after several encounters in Jinling. Wu Wan was a person with a bad temper and was not that smart.
She was able to get to where she is today because she had Gao Yurong by her side.
Now that she has arrived in Peking and Gao Yurong is not around, she probably can't think of such a complicated solution.
Sensing Nan Yan's silence, Ran Xiaoyu whispered, "My Lady, what are you thinking about?"
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "I just feel that, given Concubine Kang's personality, it's unlikely she would have done this. She doesn't seem like someone who would be so calm and patient."
Ran Xiaoyu frowned.
She whispered, "Could it be that it really isn't her? But, besides her, who else could be in this mansion? Is it Concubine Ning?"
Nan Yan thought about it and shook her head: "It's not her."
"Why?"
"Actually, I had the least suspicion of her at the beginning. She thinks highly of herself and would not bother using such means against me."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "But just now, she said it herself. She knew that venison and cattails are incompatible."
"Yes, this is something that surprised me a little."
“…”
"But, judging from her performance just now, it shouldn't be her."
Nian Qiu said, "Then it seems that it is still Concubine Kang. Even if she can't think of it herself, maybe someone is giving her advice behind the scenes?"
"Who?"
Nan Yan was just thinking about it when Tingfu, who was standing beside her, suddenly said, "Oh, Madam, I just remembered. When I went to invite Concubine Kang over today, I saw a letter on her desk."
Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "Whose letter is it?"
"I was standing far away and didn't see clearly, but I heard that the emperor summoned the Duke of Cheng today."
“…”
This time, Nan Yan stopped talking.
Everyone understood that it was most likely Wu Wan, but the person who gave her the advice was Duke Cheng.
Nan Yan sighed: "If this is true, it will be troublesome."
“…”
"Duke Cheng is not an ordinary person."
Aunt Tongyun said worriedly, "Your Majesty, what should we do now? Duke Cheng is so powerful. If he attacks you again, will we be able to get through like we did today?"
“…”
Nan Yan bit her lower lip, thought for a long time, and said softly, "I have to think of a way."

As if sensing the atmosphere of impending storm, the city of Beiping has become restless in the past few days.
It is truly restless.
Although the Prince of Yan's Mansion is not on the outskirts of Peking City, because the emperor has returned to his own private residence, the surrounding security is particularly strict and ordinary people will not pass through here.
Therefore, it is usually difficult to hear the noisy sounds outside in Prince Yan's Mansion.
But recently, this noisy sound has become more frequent.
On this day, Zhu Feng came here to have dinner with Nan Yan, and Nan Yan talked about this matter.
As he spoke, he pointed his finger into the air and said, "Your Majesty, listen, isn't it a bit noisy?"
Zhu Feng said, "I know what's going on."
"What's going on?"
"I originally planned to tell you later, but I didn't expect that the quarrel would make me restless. So, I will tell you today."
Nan Yan looked at him seriously: "What's going on?"
Zhu Feng said, "We are leaving Prince Yan's Mansion."
"Leaving Prince Yan's Mansion?"
When Nan Yan heard this, she opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Didn’t Zhu Feng have already issued an order to stay in Peking for at least a year? He also said that it was to make it easier for him to take care of his pregnancy. Why did he suddenly want to leave?
She asked hurriedly: "Then, where are we going?"
