Chapter 1242 Three thousand favors are all on one person!
Inside Chonghua Palace, the little chess piece came to report the news that Duke Cheng had just arrived in Jinling. Wu Wan said with a sullen face, "Didn't the emperor go to see father?"
The little chess piece shrank his neck, afraid that she would be angry, and said carefully: "No, no."
“…”
"The news from Yikun Palace said that the emperor said he would not see anyone."
“…”
Wu Wan held the teacup tightly with one hand. Xiao Qizi was afraid that she would get angry and smash the teacup at someone, but Wu Wan took a deep breath and endured it.
Gao Yurong, who was standing by, also said hurriedly, "Alright, Your Majesty understands. You can go down now."
"yes."
The little chess piece breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up and walked out.
As soon as he left, Chonghua Palace became quiet again.
However, this kind of silence was so tense that it made people unable to breathe. Concubine Xu and Concubine Wang, who were sitting beside them, looked at each other, and did not dare to speak easily.
Only Gao Yurong looked at Wu Wan and said softly, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine—"
"she!"
Wu Wan bit the word hard between her teeth, wishing she could break it into pieces: "She really is the most favored of all!"
Gao Yurong sat aside, and seeing her dark face, a little anger surged in her heart.
She knew very well that she had followed Wu Wan to marry into Prince Yan's Mansion and was just an accessory.
Therefore, she could not make decisions, nor could she compete for favor.
However, even if she cannot make the decision and cannot compete, and it is not her turn to share the spoils equally, some of the leaks should fall on her head; but in recent years, let alone her, it is rare for these ladies in the harem to even see Zhu Feng.
Not to mention rain and dew.
And Si Nanyan had clearly been banished to the cold palace in Peking, but the emperor still went there every day. Now, she is pregnant with the emperor's seed again!
How can one not be angry in this situation?
However, there was also something strange. Under normal circumstances, Wu Wan would have been furious in Chonghua Palace, either beating or scolding people. This time, she was very patient and had not lost her temper until this moment.
It seemed that after Duke Chengguo found an opportunity to talk to her, she was no longer as impulsive and irritable as before.
At this time, Concubine Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what is the purpose of the Duke's visit this time?"
Wu Wan let out another long sigh, then said, "Isn't Da Ci'en Temple going to open the day after tomorrow?"
"yes."
"By then, there will be a huge gathering of dignitaries. All the celebrities in Jinling, including those from Jiangnan, will be there. It will be a grand occasion."
“…”
"How could the father not be present in this situation?"
"Yes, yes, the Duke is the Emperor's loyal minister!"
Consort Wang also said, "Actually, your Majesty, there's no need to be angry. No matter how much others jump for joy, a Duke is still a Duke after all. He's not like the lesser-born."
"That's right. The Duke has just made great contributions to the Emperor by suppressing the rebellion. The Emperor must not forget the Duke no matter what."
These words calmed Wu Wan's anger a little.
But, it's just a little.
She gritted her teeth and said, "But, I really don't want to see that woman being so proud anymore."
“…”
"We can't let her be so proud forever."
Gao Yurong, who was standing by, seemed to remember something when she heard this: "My Lady..."
But halfway through her words, she swallowed them down again out of concern for Concubine Xu and Concubine Wang who were sitting beside her. However, they were very perceptive. When they saw that Concubine Kang and Concubine An seemed to be hesitant to speak, they knew they were in the way and immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness Concubine Kang is also tired today. We will not disturb your rest."
"I'll take my leave."
Wu Wan waved her hand calmly: "Everyone go down."
The two men saluted and left.
After they all left, Gao Yurong lowered her voice and said, "My Lady, that man—"
Wu Wan sneered, "She's probably still dreaming that she can find a way to win the emperor's favor. If these methods work, would we still have to watch Si Nanyan gloat?"
"The lady treated her—"
"Just wait," Wu Wan said, "When she realizes she's powerless, she'll naturally come to me for help."

There were dark clouds over Chonghua Palace, but in Yikun Palace, it was sweet to the point of being sickening.
Zhu Feng leaned back on the couch, and Nan Yan nestled in his arms.
Although the weather was very hot, and the two of them were even hotter when leaning against each other, and their bodies were covered in sweat, she just couldn't bear to leave.
Zhu Feng was also reluctant to let go.
Nan Yan still held her two hands, and wrapped her slender fingers around his thick fingers, as if she was playing with some interesting toy.
She is so old and already a mother, but she still looks so naive.
Zhu Feng didn't feel bored at all when he was with her, and he even pinched her fingers with his own.
"Nan Yan."
Feeling his breath tickle her ears, Nan Yan shrank her neck and asked, "What?"
"Is this a son?"
Nan Yan couldn't help but laugh and looked back at him: "Does the emperor really want a son so much?"
"Of course." Zhu Feng lowered his head, buried his face in her neck and gently stroked it: "I just want a son, a son of you and me."
Nan Yan smiled and slowly fell back into his arms.
"I hope so too."
Just as the two of them were whispering, footsteps were heard outside at an inopportune time.
The voice of the imperial physician sounded outside.
"emperor."
Zhu Feng frowned.
Of course, he didn't want anyone to disturb them at this time, so he asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness and I have come together to take the pulse of the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
The two of them looked at each other.
I just took your pulse in the pavilion in the Imperial Garden. Why are you taking your pulse again at this time?
But Nan Yan reacted quickly.
It is a big deal for a concubine in the harem to be pregnant. It is impossible for only one imperial physician to come and diagnose her once. Especially since she is a noble concubine, they must all come to support her.
So he whispered, "Your Majesty, please let them in."
At this time, Zhu Feng also reacted, so he let her go, stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Come in."
When the door was opened, all the doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau came.
Some of them brought medicine to Nan Yan, some came to take Nan Yan's pulse, and some fumigated the mosquito nets and dealt with some taboo items in Yiku Palace. They were very busy and happy.
After Wang Baizhi, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, took Nan Yan's pulse, he stroked his gray beard and frowned slightly.
Seeing his expression, Zhu Feng frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Baizhi hurriedly stood up and said to Zhu Feng, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine must be careful with this pregnancy."
“…”
Everyone knows that concubines should be careful when they are pregnant. This is simply nonsense.
But he said it so solemnly, obviously for another reason.
Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
