Chapter 2115 It turns out that the price is this
Zhu Feng glanced at Gu Qiqing and said in a light tone: "Daughter, you are meant to be loved."
Gu Tingqiu was stunned by what he said.
He subconsciously glanced at Gu Qiqing beside him, recalling what King Wei had just said, and then recalled how he had locked the child in the attic these days, ignoring him and torturing him silently.
He also felt a tinge of guilt.
He just lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty is right. I have made note of it."
Zhu Feng said, "When you go back, don't lock her up in the attic anymore. Treat her well."
“…”
"I'll ask again in a few days."
Gu Tingqiu looked up at him and saw that Zhu Feng was neither angry nor happy. It seemed that he had just issued an order while discussing things in the cabinet.
But the more this happened, the more Gu Tingqiu realized that this was an important matter.
He lowered his head and said softly, "I understand. I will obey your order."
Zhu Feng then turned to Gu Qiqing and said, "Go back and have a good rest. When you feel better, come back to the palace to play with Xinping."
Upon hearing this, Xin Ping, who had been speechless due to what was happening before her eyes and the tense atmosphere in Yikun Palace, suddenly smiled again and waved his chubby hands desperately at Gu Qiqing.
"My sister is coming."
With tears in his eyes, Gu Qiqing smiled and nodded to Princess Xinping.
Then she bowed deeply to Zhu Feng: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng waved at them.
Gu Tingqiu took his children and left.
Eunuch Yu felt that things were almost done, so he walked outside and said a few words in a low voice. The people who were kneeling outside also dispersed.
In an instant, the Yiku Palace seemed half empty.
I even felt a little cool breeze blowing in from outside.
This gust of wind also made Zhu Feng's complicated mood a little less heavy. He raised his head again and saw the sickly and tired queen standing at the door. She seemed a little at a loss. She wanted to ask him something but didn't dare to open her mouth.
Fortunately, Concubine Shun was always supporting her and comforting her in a low voice.
Zhu Feng said, "Queen, Concubine Shun, you all should go back as well."
“…”
"The Queen is not feeling well and should rest early."
“…”
"Someone, send the queen back."
The palace maids Chun'er and others brought with her hurried in to escort the queen away. Xu Miaoyin thought for a moment and then looked back at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, please rest early."
Zhu Feng just said "hmm".
At this time, Nan Yan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I want to send the Queen out."
Zhu Feng nodded: "Go ahead."
Nan Yan put her hand on her waist and walked out carefully with Xu Miaoyin and Xin Qing. After leaving the gate of Yiku Palace, Xin Qing was surrounded by her maids and returned to Yanx Palace.
And Nan Yan, still accompanying the queen, walked step by step between the silent palace walls.
After walking for a while, she turned to look at Xu Miaoyin, who was worried, and said with a smile, "What is the Queen still worried about?"
“…”
Hearing her speak, Xu Miaoyin also turned her head.
Seeing her smile, he smiled too, but it was an involuntary, bitter smile. He said, "I didn't expect him to be so bold as to say such words in front of the Emperor."
"Your Majesty, do you think this is inappropriate?"
"It's not right, but—"
"But what?"
“…”
Xu Miaoyin thought for a while, then smiled again and said, "However, this seems to be his best performance in my opinion."
Her smile actually seemed much more relieved.
Nan Yan also smiled.
Although people born in the palace enjoy wealth and splendor, the price they pay is sincere feelings and true expression. Because they are afraid of being hurt and even more afraid of being caught, they often cannot express their true feelings and are even more afraid of letting others know what they want and what they expect.
Everyone knows that the face behind the mask is each other's most original and true appearance.
But no one dares to break it easily.
But this time, the one who accomplished this was King Chengxuan of Wei, who they considered to be too cowardly and irresponsible.
How can it not be surprising?
How can one not be delighted?
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Queen, the Prince of Wei has grown up."
Xu Miaoyin nodded.
Nan Yan continued, "Congratulations, Her Majesty the Queen."
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyin looked at her: "Hmm?"
Why congratulations again?
Nan Yan smiled and said, "The agreement between the Empress and me has come to fruition."
“……!”
Xu Miaoyin was stunned, then suddenly remembered.
A few days ago, she had a long talk with Nan Yan, and Nan Yan agreed with her that if King Wei did not have the courage to leave Chengqian Palace and face his own life before Gu Qiqing decided on his lifelong event, then the child she would give birth to in the future would compete with King Wei for the position of crown prince.
Of course, this result is self-evident.
However, if King Wei has the courage and the responsibility, Nan Yan will give up the throne of Crown Prince for the sake of her unborn child and fully assist King Wei in ascending the throne of Crown Prince!
Xu Miaoyin took a deep breath.
Just now, she was frightened by the news that King Wei broke out of Chengqian Palace and entered Yiku Palace. She was afraid that something big had happened. She was so worried about the child and rushed over that she forgot about this matter.
Now that Nan Yan mentioned it, she suddenly remembered.
Tonight is the night when Gu Tingqiu is preparing to deal with Gu Qiqing's lifelong affairs.
And Cheng Xuan actually came at this time!
A smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Nan Yan, so excited that she was speechless for a moment.
He only murmured, "This palace, this palace really... really didn't expect it."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that either."
“…”
"That can only mean that this child is better than we thought."
Xu Miaoyin nodded slightly.
She looked at Nan Yan again, at her big belly, and said softly, "Thank you."
Nan Yan smiled.
Xu Miaoyin continued, "Nan Yan, I have also made up my mind about the matter between Prince Wei and Qi Qing."
“…”
"However, this matter ultimately depends on the Emperor's decision."
Nan Yan nodded.
She didn't ask what the queen was thinking. At this point, things had come to this point, which was already a good ending for her.
If it can be perfect, it will be the icing on the cake and adding fuel to the fire.
If not, it is naturally regrettable, but whose life can really be perfect?
Xu Miaoyin patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, don't walk anymore with your big belly, go back."
"yes."
Nan Yan did not leave, but stood there, watching Xu Miaoyin's back as she walked away.
Disappeared into the night.
It was not until this time that she lowered her head, looked at her bulging belly, reached out and gently stroked it, and a helpless and indifferent smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She murmured, "So this is the price."
In the other corner, a figure turned and left stealthily.
