Chapter 1616 Two People
Yang Dai and other officials followed Zhu Feng out. After a while, they saw a light on in a room not far away. They thought it was the study room they had set up specifically for Zhu Feng.
Nan Yan stood at the door and watched silently.
I'm afraid he will have to stay up late again tonight.
She sighed lightly and didn't say much. She just told the people outside to follow and serve well. If the emperor needed anything, they should come and call her immediately. The young eunuchs all ran over.
At this time, the steward that Yang Dai had left here leaned forward and asked her carefully, "Is the Imperial Concubine going back to rest now? The residence that the Lord has arranged for her is in the courtyard over there."
Nan Yan said, "Not busy."
"yes."
The manager naturally didn't dare to say much and just stood at the door waiting.
Nan Yan walked to the bedside.
Watching Ran Xiaoyu feeding the medicine into Ye Zheng's mouth spoonful by spoonful, he always drank less and spilled more, but she didn't look impatient at all. Instead, she fed him very patiently and wiped the corners of his mouth and chin.
That look was totally unlike the usually hot-tempered Ran Xiaoyu.
Nan Yan sighed softly in her heart, but seemed to feel somewhat comforted.
Suffering makes people grow. Of course, this suffering does not necessarily have to be like what they did before, being imprisoned and tortured. Sometimes, just the ups and downs in the relationship between two people can make people start to reflect on themselves.
As long as you are willing to reflect and recognize your shortcomings, you can grow.
What I fear most is those who refuse to repent.
Although Ran Xiaoyu was tough-talking and stubborn, she was not stupid at all.
After a lot of effort, the bowl of medicine was finally fed. Nan Yan, who was standing by and watching, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from outside.
It seemed as if a group of people were walking towards the room.
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
In his heart, he understood, so he turned around and straightened his back.
Sure enough, I heard the visitor say a few words to the steward at the door, then walked in cautiously and kowtowed respectfully to Nan Yan: "Your humble servants greet the Imperial Concubine, may the Imperial Concubine live a thousand years."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Your Excellency, Duke, are so polite. Please stand up."
The people who came were none other than Duke Chengguo Wu Yingqiu, his son Wu Ding, and several other minor officials and their guards.
When they just arrived at the Duwei Mansion of Shazhou Guard, Nan Yan didn't see them among the people who came to welcome him. She knew that they must have gone out to do other things. Zhu Feng didn't ask, but she obviously knew what was going on, so she didn't say much. Naturally, she didn't expect others to guess that someone could walk directly to the door of Ye Zheng's room at this time.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I didn't see the Duke when I first arrived at the Duwei Mansion. I was worried that he might be unwell."
Wu Yingqiu lowered his head and said with a smile, "I dare not. I know my crime."
“…”
"I should have come to greet you, but I was ordered by the Emperor to rush to Shazhou Guard to set up additional security at the Governor's Office. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon..."
“…”
"That's why I'm late in welcoming you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Since the Duke is doing this for official business, what's the crime?"
"Thank you for your compassion, Madam."
"where."
Wu Yingqiu and Nan Yan couldn't tell how many moves they had made, both overt and covert, and they knew very well that their daughter had suffered a lot at the hands of this originally inconspicuous imperial concubine. But at this time, they still smiled and responded to her respectfully.
Just based on this point, he is not an ordinary person.
Nan Yan, of course, also had a smile on her face, and the two of them exchanged a few greetings.
When the play was over, Wu Yingqiu looked around and said, "I wonder where the emperor is now? Has he gone to bed?"
Nan Yan shook her head and laughed, "Shazhouwei is already in such a state, how can the emperor rest in peace?"
"Ah...it's my humble servant's incompetence."
"Don't say that, Duke. The Emperor is now taking Lord Yang and the others to the study. You should go over there too. I'm afraid that this matter in Shazhouwei will require your help."
"I have no choice but to do my duty."
After saying that, he kowtowed to Nan Yan again, then stood up and left with his men.
Nan Yan kept watching their backs disappear into the night outside.
Then he turned and looked at Ran Xiaoyu.
No matter what Wu Yingqiu and the others said or did when they came in, Ran Xiaoyu remained motionless. She just sat quietly by the bed, looking at Ye Zheng's pale face.
At this time, Nan Yan walked over and gently supported her shoulders.
"Don't worry too much."
"Your Majesty..."
Ran Xiaoyu looked up at her, and Nan Yan said, "Good luck will come to those who are lucky. No matter what, the emperor is here, and he will be fine."
"……Um."
Seeing that Ran Xiaoyu was finally not feeling so uncomfortable, she seemed relieved.
But Nan Yan felt a little heavy in her heart.
Ye Zheng, what happened to him?
Just now, when she thought Ye Zheng was poisoned, she also thought that maybe the "magic pill" given to her by He Yi could come in handy, but he was not poisoned.
In this way, you can't take medicine randomly.
After all, the medicine made by Taoist priests has the energy of metal and stone. If you take it when you are not sick, something bad will happen.
As for the rest...
She was still thinking, at this moment, Ran Xiaoyu turned around and looked at her, and said softly: "My lady, you should go back and rest early."
"And you?"
"Slave girl, slave girl wants to stay here and watch for a while."
“…”
Looking at the slightly red corners of Ran Xiaoyu's eyes, Nan Yan sighed and said, "Well, anyway, the emperor also told you to take good care of him, so be careful."
"I know."
Nan Yan patted her shoulder again, then turned and walked out.
The steward of the Duwei Mansion immediately came forward with two little girls and escorted Nan Yan to the residence they had arranged earlier.
As they were walking, Nan Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It was as if there were a pair of eyes watching me from the side.
She subconsciously stopped and looked in the direction of the gaze, but saw a door not far away.
The light inside the door was dim, and only a few lanterns could be seen in the distance, illuminating a roof, as if there were several rooms there.
Nan Yan asked, "What place is that?"
The steward hurried forward and answered carefully, "Your Majesty, this is the wing room of the Commandant's Mansion."
"Wings? For guests?"
"yes."
"Is anyone living there?"
"Yes, Lord Ye had previously rescued some civilians from the bandit's lair. They had no place to live temporarily, so he placed them here. Later, they all went back, leaving only two people behind."
"Two people?"
Nan Yan frowned slightly. Could there be someone else besides Xue Ling, whom they had just met?
She asked, "Who is it?"
