Chapter 1446 It’s not your turn to blame me!
Xu Miaoyin did not answer this.
He just said solemnly: "Then do you know that with your status, if you ask to search Jianfu Palace and find nothing, how serious a crime it is?"
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
Indeed, even Concubine Hui and the others had noticed that there might be something wrong with Jianfu Palace, but no one spoke up first because requesting a search of the harem without authorization was a very serious matter, and no one had the courage to take the risk.
So, everyone was whispering and looking at Qin Ruolan carefully.
In the sunlight, her originally snow-white skin had become almost pale, even a little transparent, due to her haggardness. Even the gloomy aura on her body could be seen.
She raised her head and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, I'm willing to take the blame!"
“……!”
Everyone was in an uproar again.
Even Xu Miaoyin frowned. She obviously realized that this time, Qin Ruolan was going to burn his boats.
Could it be that there really was something wrong with Jianfu Palace and she had discovered it?
Thinking of this, she looked towards Jianfu Palace with a serious expression.
Until now, there is still no movement inside.
Xu Miaoyin's heart sank.
She originally just hoped that the harem would be stable as Zhu Feng said, without any big waves, especially that Feng Qianyan could give birth peacefully.
But the situation now is really like the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
Moreover, whether Feng Qianyan really has a problem or not, if there is really something wrong, it would be better to find out now, so as to avoid any big incident in the future, which would seriously implicate her.
Thinking of this, she let out a deep breath.
Then he said, "Well, in that case, I would also like to go in and see Concubine Ning."
Upon hearing this, Qin'er, who had been standing at the palace gate, felt as if she had collapsed completely and almost fell to the ground. However, a young eunuch standing next to her helped her up.
Xiao Lian on the other side looked at her coldly and sneered complacently.
Concubine Hui immediately said, "In that case, why don't you move aside and let the Queen in!"
Upon receiving the order, the young eunuch immediately half-supported and half-dragged Qin'er, whose legs were weak, to the side. Xu Miaoyin then led them all towards Jianfu Palace.
Jianfu Palace is one of the larger courtyards among the six western palaces, and Yanchun Pavilion where Feng Qianyan lives is located in the deeper part. When the group walked in, they first passed Jicui Pavilion, then walked around a small path and a garden before they saw Yanchun Pavilion. The doors and windows were still closed, and there was no one around.
It was eerily quiet.
Everyone looked at each other, with an expression of enjoying the show on their faces.
Especially Concubine Hui, she turned her head to look at Qin Ruolan, but saw that Qin Ruolan had a gloomy face and his eyes were staring straight ahead, as if he was wary of anyone slipping out.
However, until now, not yet.
They had already reached the door of Yanchun Pavilion, and there was no one around.
Concubine Hui couldn't help but laugh and said, "Now, I don't know what happened in Jianfu Palace, but Concubine Ning is so ignorant of the rules that she didn't even come out to greet the Empress even after she arrived. This is really eye-opening for me."
Qin Ruolan also glanced at her.
As they were talking, the group had already reached the door.
Such a commotion should have been heard no matter what, but the door of Yanchun Pavilion remained closed. Dong Hai asked the eunuch to pull Qin'er over and stand in front of Xu Miaoyin. Xu Miaoyin said in a deep voice, "What on earth is your queen doing?"
“…”
"Do you want me to go and knock on the door myself?"
Qin'er was so frightened at this moment that she almost fainted.
At this moment, a creaking sound suddenly came from the front.
Everyone immediately looked up and saw the door of Yanchun Pavilion slowly opening from the inside, and a familiar figure walked out.
It’s Feng Qianyan!
She was wearing a simple long dress and a cloak on her shoulders. She opened the door and looked at everyone. Her eyebrows raised slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be surprised, but her eyes were so calm that there was no fluctuation at all.
Everyone was shocked, and Qin Ruolan frowned.
how--?
"The Queen?"
Feng Qianyan spoke first, then immediately stepped forward and kowtowed to Xu Miaoyin: "Your Majesty, the Queen."
Xu Miaoyin looked at her with a slightly frown.
Under normal circumstances, she would have immediately asked someone to help her up, after all, it was not easy for her to kneel down with such a big belly. But today, she watched Feng Qianyan kneel down, then frowned and said, "Concubine Ning, what are you doing?"
Feng Qianyan immediately raised her head, a look of astonishment on her face: "What? I didn't do anything."
Qin Ruolan immediately said: "I didn't do anything, so why did you stay indoors?"
“…”
A cold glint flashed in Feng Qianyan's eyes. He glanced at her and said coldly, "Is staying indoors a sin? If so, then Madam Qin, you've also been staying indoors these days. Why haven't you come to confess your sin?"
“…”
Hearing her say this, Qin Ruolan felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.
Feng Qianyan looked like nothing really happened.
At this time, Concubine An said, "It's certainly not a sin to stay indoors, but the Empress has been here for so long, why don't you, Concubine Ning, come out to greet her?"
Feng Qianyan only glanced at her, then immediately bowed her head and said to Xu Miaoyin, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
“…”
"I just haven't been sleeping well these past few days. The imperial physician came to check my pulse today and prescribed a tranquilizer so I could sleep and rest for a while. So, I was just catching up on my sleep and didn't realize the Empress had arrived."
Qin Ruolan immediately said: "Then, where is the imperial physician?"
Feng Qianyan raised her eyebrows slightly: "The imperial physician came to take my pulse, so of course I have to leave."
"Yeah?"
Qin Ruolan sneered: "Then why don't you let us into your house."
“…”
Feng Qianyan's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Madam Qin, I don't know why you're being so aggressive today, but this is Jianfu Palace, not your Yanxi Palace, and it's not your turn to blame me!"
Qin Ruolan was stunned by her words.
She immediately turned around and said to Xu Miaoyin, "Empress, Concubine Ning has been staying indoors all this time, which is really suspicious. Besides, no one knows whether the imperial physician has really left. Who can tell what they were doing in there just now?"
She said this because she had just asked someone to keep an eye on Jianfu Palace, and they only saw Shao Ren come in but didn't see him leave.
So, it is certain that he is still in here.
A cold light flashed in Feng Qianyan's eyes, and she suddenly said, "Since that's the case, then please ask Her Majesty to come inside and take a look at what I'm doing!"
