Chapter 1760: Killing Three Birds with One Stone
"They didn't have much contact with us originally, but recently, something seems to have happened to them."
"What's up?"
"I don't know the details, but they seem to have sent people to search this area more than once in the past few days, as if they were looking for someone."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng listened and looked at Nan Yan.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "When did it start?"
Yang Dai thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about the exact time, but at least it started before the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine arrived."
“…”
Zhu Feng and Nan Yan looked at each other again.
Although nothing was said, the glint in their eyes seemed to have said a lot.
Zhu Feng said, "I understand."
After saying this, he immediately instructed: "Go and call Ying Shao over to me, and have him send a team of elite imperial guards to set off for Bailong City immediately."
Just as he said this, Wang Baizhi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."
Zhu Feng stopped and looked at him: "What's the matter?"
Wang Baizhi said, "If the Emperor wants them to go to Bailong City to find an antidote for Lord Ye, then let them also bring back some pregnancy-preserving medicine for the Empress."
"Pregnancy-maintaining medicine? There's no more here?"
Wang Baizhi sighed and said with a wry smile, "I didn't know Your Majesty would be pregnant on this trip, but I brought some medicine with me just in case. However, the quantity is small, and the environment here in Shazhouwei is not very good. Some of the medicine I brought here is almost going moldy."
“…”
Upon hearing this news, Zhu Feng's face darkened.
Ye Zheng’s poison is, of course, a big deal.
The child in Nan Yan's belly also tugs at his heart.
He immediately said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Tell them to go find medicine to help the concubine stay pregnant."
Nan Yan had been sitting aside, silent. At this moment, she raised her head and said softly to Zhu Feng, "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you."
"What do you want?"
"Your Majesty, I want to go to Bailong City in person."
“…”
"I am going there for three reasons. First, to find an antidote for Ye Zheng's poison; second, to find a pregnancy-preserving medicine for myself."
"What's three?"
"Third," Nan Yan said, unable to restrain herself from coughing twice. Zhu Feng hurriedly reached out to rub her back. Nan Yan said, "Actually, I was originally thinking of saying that the environment in Shazhouwei is indeed not very good and not suitable for me to nurture my baby. I just heard from Lord Yang that Bailong City seems to be a good place."
Yang Dai was slightly stunned when she heard this.
After thinking about it again, he said softly, "That place is indeed prosperous. Because the people who come and go are all wealthy businessmen, the city is built extremely gorgeously. It is naturally incomparable to Shazhouwei."
Nan Yan immediately looked at Zhu Feng and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to pass."
Zhu Feng said: "But your body——"
Nan Yan said, "I know my own condition. Besides, every time Imperial Doctor Wang takes my pulse, he says my pulse is steady and the baby is strong."
“…”
Zhu Feng hesitated for a moment.
Nan Yan whispered again: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while and said, "Okay."
When Nan Yan heard this, her brows immediately lit up and she said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yang Dai and Wang Baizhi, who were standing aside, were somewhat shocked. They originally thought that the emperor would not agree, but unexpectedly, he actually agreed. The two hurried down to prepare.
After they all left, Nan Yan walked back to the couch and lay down.
She slowly took out a small scroll of paper from her sleeve. It was the one Xue Ling had given her that night.
Unfolding it again, the three words that I knew by heart came into view:
White Dragon City.
It is indeed White Dragon City.
That night, she handed the paper to herself. When she saw these three words, she was still a little bit unbelievable. Although Nan Yan had heard Tong Yuhua mention this White Dragon City when she was a child, and had also heard the vendor mention it when she went south to Jinling and bought benzoin on the street.
But she didn't expect that the antidote that could save Ye Zheng was actually in this place.
And Xue Ling must go and find the antidote himself. What other secrets are there?
She looked at the next few words again. At this moment, she heard footsteps outside and approaching the door. She hurriedly put the paper away and turned around to see Ran Xiaoyu walking in from outside.
"My Lady."
"You're here."
As soon as she saw her, a smile appeared on Nan Yan's face: "I knew you would come."
Ran Xiaoyu, with a worried look on her face, walked in and bowed to Nan Yan. Before Nan Yan could say anything else, she said, "Your Majesty, are you going to Bailong City to find an antidote for Ye Zheng?"
"yes."
"Why?"
"What, why?"
Nan Yan looked at her with an amused expression: "Don't you want to cure the poison in Ye Zheng and wake him up sooner?"
Ran Xiaoyu bit her lower lip and said, "Of course I hope so, but why should the Queen go?"
“…”
"You're pregnant!"
“…”
"The Emperor is the same. Isn't he usually most worried about the Empress's health? Why did he allow the Empress to go this time?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "He agreed because it's for my own good."
"What's the meaning?"
"Shazhouwei is located in a remote area and is short of supplies. Not only is there no antidote to Ye Zheng's poison, but even the pregnancy-preserving medicine I need is in short supply. White Dragon City, on the other hand, is rich in supplies, and merchants traveling here and there carry many rare treasures, so there's certainly no shortage of pregnancy-preserving medicine."
“…”
"Besides, Shazhouwei is just a military settlement. The wind and sand are strong, and the snow is even stronger. It is indeed not suitable for me to nurture my pregnancy here."
“…”
"As for Bailong City, it's a commercial city with many merchants coming and going. It's not a place targeted by those bandits. The environment there is better and more stable. Going there will be good for the fetus in my belly."
Hearing her say this, Ran Xiaoyu was speechless.
She was silent for a while, then said, "Then, I will accompany you, Madam."
"you?"
Nan Yan looked at her with wide eyes and said, "Aren't you here to accompany Ye Zheng?"
When mentioning Ye Zheng, Ran Xiaoyu's face immediately showed reluctance.
But she gritted her teeth and said, "He, I have been with him for a long time. Now I know that he was poisoned. As long as he can be detoxified, he can survive. I feel much more at ease."
“…”
"But Your Majesty is different. It's very tiring for Your Majesty to go there and find an antidote for him. I am worried about Your Majesty and must stay by your side."
Nan Yan looked at her for a while.
Then he smiled and said, "Xue Ling told me that Ye Zheng is very important to the Emperor, even more important than some of the ladies in the harem."
“…”
"Actually, you treat me the same way."
