Chapter 2259: Or is there no "snake"?
After waking up from a deep sleep, Nan Yan opened her eyes and whispered, "Xiao Yu?"
Someone immediately came to the bed and pulled up the curtains.
"My Lady."
Nan Yan turned around and saw that it was Nian Qiu. She rolled up the curtains and leaned over to support her. Nan Yan moved to sit on the headboard and looked at her: "Xiao Yu hasn't come back yet?"
"Not yet."
"Why haven't you come back yet so late?"
"Not yet, just a quarter past noon."
"Ah? I slept for so long? No wonder my hands and feet are so weak. Why didn't you call me?"
Nian Qiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty has been tired for so long, it's rare for you to rest, just sleep a little longer."
"You."
Nan Yan shook her head.
However, after sleeping for so long, although his head was a little dizzy, he didn't feel so weak anymore. He helped himself to Nian Qiu's arm and got out of bed. Just as he put on his clothes, he saw someone standing in the yard outside the window.
Standing in the wind, shivering.
She frowned slightly: "Who's outside?"
"Oh, Doctor Xue."
"She, why is she standing outside?"
"She just came to check the Majesty's pulse, but the Majesty fell asleep, so I asked her to wait outside."
"What?"
When Nan Yan heard this, she frowned and said, "How could you let her wait in the yard?"
Although it is not the coldest time of the year, it is winter after all. The winter in Peking is not like that in the south. The breath turns into ice. In addition, the place where Xue Yun was standing was right in the wind, and she was wearing only an ordinary official uniform, not a heavy coat.
I'm afraid it will freeze to death.
Nan Yan said, "What's wrong with you?"
Seeing that she was a little angry, Nian Qiu pouted slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
“…”
"I just don't want her to disturb the queen."
“…”
Nan Yan glanced at her, suddenly understood, and whispered: "You, do you know that she——"
Before he could finish his words, he understood as soon as he saw Nian Qiu's eyes.
She sighed.
This girl has always been very protective of herself, but this kind of prank is really too much. What if she really freezes someone to death?
Although, because of that incident, Nan Yan always had a grudge against Xue Yun in her heart, but this grudge was not enough to make her do evil.
She said in a deep voice: "Let her in and prepare hot tea quickly."
“…”
"Also, don't do this again."
Seeing her like this, Nian Qiu didn't dare to say anything. She just lowered her head and said, "I understand."
After she finished speaking, she walked out and saw Xue Yun standing in the yard. His face was pale from the cold, his nose was red, and his whole body was shivering. She stepped forward and said, "Doctor Xue, the queen is awake. You can go in and check her pulse."
At this time, Xue Yun's hands and feet were numb.
Hearing her say this, she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been granted amnesty, and quickly responded, "Hey."
He wanted to move forward immediately, but his legs were numb from standing. He staggered two steps and almost fell to the ground. He supported himself on the ground with one hand to avoid falling.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing her like this, Nian Qiu frowned, stepped forward to support her, and said unhappily: "Are you okay?"
Xue Yun stood up hurriedly and shook his head at her: "It's okay, it's okay."
She hid her palms that were scratched by the rough and cold ground behind her back. Nian Qiu looked at her again. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't show it when he saw her like this.
He just said lightly: "Hurry in, don't let the queen wait for you again."
Xue Yun turned around and entered the bedroom.
Nan Yan sat on the couch. Seeing her legs still numb as she moved in, she felt a little guilty or something else. She just said, "Doctor Xue, I've been waiting for a long time. Are you okay?"
Xue Yun hurriedly said, "I'm fine."
However, she had been standing outside in the wind for half a day, and her whole body was frozen. When she entered the bedroom, it was warm and fragrant, and the hot air stung her, making her sneeze several times in succession.
Nan Yan frowned slightly: "Are you sick?"
Xue Yun hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, Your Majesty, don't worry, it's just an itchy nose. I'd better check Your Majesty's pulse first."
“…”
Seeing her like this, Nan Yan didn't know what to say for a moment.
He just sighed in his heart and raised his wrist.
Xue Yun tremblingly took out a cushion and handkerchief from the medicine box, walked forward to put them on Nan Yan's back, and then began to take her pulse.
When her fingers touched her pulse, even through a layer of silk handkerchief, Nan Yan could feel that her fingers were as cold as ice, and they were even shaking when they touched her.
Looking at Xue Yun's red nose, she sighed in her heart.
After a while, the pulse diagnosis was completed.
Xue Yun put away his things and said with a smile, "Your Majesty's pulse is fine, she's just a little tired. You should get more rest these days. As for the food, I will also tell the imperial kitchen to prepare some warming and nourishing ingredients."
Nan Yan nodded.
He glanced at her again, then said, "Doctor Xue, you should go back and rest. It's too cold in the palace. You'll easily get sick if you keep coming back and forth."
Xue Yun lowered his head and said softly, "Yes."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left with his medicine box.
Watching her figure disappear into the distance, Nian Qiu snorted softly, walked over and offered hot tea to Nan Yan, saying, "Your Majesty, there's no need to pity her. If she doesn't listen to my advice, she'll have a hard time in the future."
Nan Yan sighed softly again.

Ran Xiaoyu stayed in the jade shop until evening, when dusk fell.
There were quite a few customers coming and going in the shop.
But no one came to inquire about the Goddess of Childbirth.
She even stayed in the shop, observing everyone who entered the shop, including those who came and went at the door.
There wasn't a single suspicious person.
What's going on?
Could it be that Nan Yan's judgment was wrong? Their plan to lure the snake out of its hole this time didn't work at all?
Or is there no "snake"?
Seeing that the sun was about to set, and if she didn't go back, the palace gate would be closed, she could only stand up, and the shop owner immediately stepped forward: "Miss Xiaoyu, do you have any other instructions?"
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at him.
He only said, "Just do your job as the Queen commands."
"yes."
"Also, if someone comes to ask about the Goddess of Childbirth, you know how to answer."
"certainly."
"That's it, then."
"Miss Xiaoyu, take care."
The shop owner walked her all the way to the door. After Ran Xiaoyu walked out, she stopped for a while and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street in front of her. However, none of them looked familiar, and there was not even anyone with strange whereabouts.
She frowned, turned and left the jade shop.
Just as she turned to leave, a figure flashed by in a narrow and hidden alley opposite the jade shop and immediately disappeared into the dark twilight.
