Chapter 1283 Don’t Tell Her Yet
"Xiaoyu, where is the emperor?"
Ran Xiaoyu froze.
Nan Yan trembled and asked, "What is he doing now?"
Ran Xiaoyu had been completely focused on her, especially when she saw blood at the corners of her mouth and cold sweat on her forehead, she hurriedly took out her handkerchief to wipe it for her. But when she heard her ask "Your Majesty", her hand suddenly froze.
She hesitated and said, "The Emperor, I——"
Nan Yan looked at her. Somehow, even though she hadn't said anything clearly yet, her heart seemed to have fallen into an icy cave.
Ran Xiaoyu never hesitates, and she never lies.
Nan Yan asked tremblingly, "Is he, is he really in Jianfu Palace, with Feng Qianyan, and hasn't come out yet?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu immediately understood that Wu Wan and the others must have come over and talked nonsense just now to deliberately provoke Nan Yan.
And Nan Yan really knew——
Her pretty face, which had turned red with anger, now turned pale.
She thought of the time when she secretly ran out of the cold palace and went to look for Ye Zheng, hiding herself like a thief.
She finally found Ye Zheng outside the imperial study, and when Ye Zheng saw her, he was also shocked.
He rushed over and dragged himself behind the rockery.
Because the gap behind the rockery was very narrow, only enough for two people to stand close to each other, she had no choice but to stand face to face with him. Even if she moved a little, her face would be pressed against his.
But this guy Ye Zheng didn't even look at the time and actually started blushing.
She was both embarrassed and angry. She reached out and twisted his ear hard, saying in a deep voice, "Don't give me that shit. Tell me, what are we going to do about the Empress? When will the Emperor calm down and take the Empress away?"
However, after hearing these words, Ye Zheng's face no longer turned red.
And became pale.
He pondered for a while and said, "This matter may be really difficult to handle."
"What's the meaning?"
"I've been with the Emperor for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen him like this. He, he's really angry."
Ran Xiaoyu was also anxious: "But, the queen didn't do it on purpose. She didn't want to put herself and the baby in her belly in danger. It was just for Jian Ruocheng——"
"It's Jian Ruocheng,"
Ye Zheng interrupted her and gave her an awkward look: "This thorn has been lodged in the emperor's heart for a long time, you know."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu was speechless.
Of course she knows.
Almost from the moment Nan Yan and Zhu Feng developed feelings for each other, the name Jian Ruocheng was like an lingering haze, existing between the two of them; although outsiders like them knew very well that he was not really an obstacle to their relationship, Zhu Feng did not think so.
As an emperor, he could not tolerate such an existence.
But this time, the imperial concubine lost the child that the emperor had been longing for because of Jian Ruocheng. It was understandable that he was angry.
only--
The imperial concubine doesn’t want to either!
She did all that not only because she couldn't ignore Jian Ruocheng's life and death, but also for Zhu Feng. How could she have imagined that all this was actually a setup?
In order not to worry the pregnant concubine, the emperor did not tell her all this, but instead, everything came to a standstill.
They both did it for each other.
But it has come to this.
Ran Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Can you think of a way? You know how sad the Empress is. She is so weak now and needs someone to care for her. Even if - even if she can feel that the Emperor still has her in his heart, she will have the strength to bear it."
“…”
Ye Zheng didn't say anything.
At this time, a group of people walked by outside. They were the eunuchs who usually served Zhu Feng. They were here to clean the imperial study.
One of them whispered, "Eunuch Yu, the Emperor has canceled court today. Will he still come to the Imperial Study to do some work?"
Exempt from court?
When she heard these two words, Ran Xiaoyu frowned.
Of course, I can understand that.
Such a big thing happened yesterday, and the imperial concubine had a miscarriage. It is normal for the emperor to be in a bad mood and avoid court.
But the next moment, another young eunuch said, "I heard that Jianfu Palace is still closed. Maybe the emperor hasn't even gotten out of bed yet."
"Perhaps, I will stay in Jianfu Palace today."
"yes."
As they were discussing, Eunuch Yu's voice rang out from the side, angrily saying, "If you're going to stop gossiping, get back to work!"
It was rare for people to see him get angry, so they didn't dare to say anything and hurried away to do their work.
Ran Xiaoyu, who was hiding behind the rockery, was completely frozen.
Ye Zheng was close to her and could feel her stiffness at this moment. He whispered, "Xiaoyu, you, you listen to me—"
Ran Xiaoyu looked up at him, her eyes red: "Your Majesty went to Jianfu Palace last night, last night?"
“…”
"That Concubine Kang, Feng Qianyan?"
“…”
"Did the Emperor favor her?"
“…”
Ye Zheng looked into her cold, somewhat disbelieving eyes. After a long while, he nodded with difficulty: "Yes..."
Ran Xiaoyu immediately clenched her fists, and her knuckles crackled.
"He, how could he, how could he do this?!"
She had also entered the palace as a concubine selected by Emperor Wen, and she knew very well that the emperor had three palaces and six courtyards, and he had to treat everyone equally. It was not easy for Zhu Feng to stay by Nan Yan's side all these years. Even if he really favored someone else one day, they were mentally prepared.
but--
How could it be now?
How could it be now?!
Last night, Nan Yan was in so much pain that even after fainting, she was still crying. After a whole night of torment, the first words she asked when she opened her eyes were to Zhu Feng. Her heart, even her soul, was with that man.
But how could he just turn around and go to another woman?
And it was Feng Qianyan? !
At this moment, Ran Xiaoyu's eyes turned red.
She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "How could he treat the queen like this?"
Ye Zheng had nothing to say and could only reluctantly advise: "Xiaoyu, please don't tell the Imperial Concubine about this for the time being."
Ran Xiaoyu looked up at him, her face full of resentment and stubbornness.
Ye Zheng said: "Even if it's for the Imperial Concubine's sake, she can't bear it now."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu did not answer him, but clenched her fists and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, she turned around and walked out from behind the rockery without looking back.
Eunuch Yu was standing under the eaves, looking ahead worriedly. Suddenly, he saw Ran Xiaoyu coming out and was startled. Then he saw Ye Zheng also coming out with a melancholy look on his face. Suddenly, he understood something.
He let out a long sigh.
…
After hearing what she said, Nan Yan's hands trembled and she could no longer hold on to Ran Xiaoyu's sleeves, and they slipped down.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her nervously.
Just now, when she walked in and saw her fall to the ground, she was already scared to death. Now, Nan Yan knew everything.
Could it be that she really couldn't bear it?
