Chapter 2600 She Didn’t Lie
Nan Yan chuckled and said, "The Empress Renxiao is kind and generous, so she naturally won't bother with me."
"So, what about you?"
Nan Yan said: "Although I cannot catch up with the saints, I can still learn from them."
“…”
"Of course I won't argue with her."
Zhu Feng glanced at her coldly, but couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He coughed lightly, then looked down at the pill in his hand, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
Said: "It seems that it is right to look at her."
Nan Yan said, "However, I feel that she has already made up her mind to hand over the pills."
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Nan Yan said, "I asked Tingfu to take some people over, but the people around me are just odd jobs. After all, she is a serious court official. So I think the emperor should personally appoint a few people to go."
Zhu Feng looked at her and said, "Is this why you must wait for me tonight?"
Even just now, when I was clearly asleep, it was still so difficult for me to wake up.
Nan Yan nodded.
He said seriously, "She must not be indulged lightly."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "It's a pity that my concubine is a girl."
When Nan Yan heard this, she also laughed and said, "How can you say that, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng pinched her slender wrist and said with a smile: "With your small body, you are not suitable for fighting in the battlefield, but as a military advisor, at least you can be a Pushan Gong who can't kill the enemy."
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide: "The Emperor speaks so highly of me!"
“…”
"Where is Pushan Gong?"
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed with laughter.
Seeing her smug look, Zhu Feng couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Even if I praise you, you still have to accept it. You're so prone to showing your emotions, it seems you're still a long way from becoming the Duke of Pushan."
Nan Yan immediately snorted.
Zhu Feng smiled as he stood up and walked to the door. He said a few words to Xiao Shunzi who was guarding outside. Xiao Shunzi immediately went downstairs to pass on the message.
Nan Yan leaned against the head of the bed.
Although I was extremely sleepy and it took all my strength to open my eyes, I became a little more awake after talking for a while.
She watched Zhu Feng walk back with the medicine box, and said with a complicated expression, "However, there's one thing I don't understand. No matter what her plan was, why did she give it to you and not to me?"
“…”
"Isn't it the same thing?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan sat up straight again and said seriously, "This is what I want to tell the emperor."
Zhu Feng raised his eyes to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Nan Yan said, "Your Majesty, please do not use this medicine for the time being."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Zhu Feng frowned slightly.
He said, "Now is a critical period. A fight may break out in White Tiger City at any time. I certainly won't use medicine at this time."
Nan Yan said: "It's not just this."
“…”
"Even if the incident in White Tiger City is over, I beg Your Majesty not to use this medicine lightly."
"Why?"
"Xue Yun said that this medicine was only refined as a backup. The first medicine has been stolen, so no one has tested this medicine yet."
"Are you worried it might be toxic?"
"It's not that I'm worried, but Xue Yun told me that this medicine is too strong. Besides detoxifying, it will also affect the blood of the person taking it."
"What?"
When Zhu Feng heard this, he frowned.
Nan Yan said: "The medicinal properties will remain in people's blood."
“…”
"She said that if it was a woman, it would be fine, as the effects of the drug would gradually wear off over time. But if it was a man, the effects would likely remain in his body and could even be passed on to his offspring."
“…”
"As the Imperial Concubine, holding the Phoenix Seal, I deeply feel the Emperor's limited offspring. If the remaining princes and princesses are affected by the drug in the future, I will be blamed."
“…”
"Even if, even if you don't consider the child, the Emperor is the supreme ruler, and his dragon body is precious, so you can't try it lightly."
“…”
"Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to put aside the matter of this medicine for now."
“…”
"It won't be too late to detoxify it until we come up with a foolproof plan."
“…”
After hearing her words, Zhu Feng fell silent.
Staring at the red and black medicine bowl, many emotions flashed through Zhu Feng's eyes, but in the end, these flickering lights settled down.
With a flick of his fingers, he closed the box.
Nan Yan's heart also moved, and she looked at him cautiously: "Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng said, "I will put this matter aside for now."
When Nan Yan heard this, she immediately felt relieved.
Although she had a big fight with Zhu Feng about the detoxification before, now that they had reached a consensus, she didn't want to hide anything. Moreover, over the years, she also knew that once some things were concealed, the harm would be greater than the benefits of concealment when they were exposed.
Of course, there are some things.
She looked at Zhu Feng and said softly, "Then give this medicine to me for safekeeping."
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said with a half-smile, "Why, you still don't trust me?"
Nan Yan said, "Of course it's not that I don't trust the emperor. It's just that Xue Yun must have lied. She must have had a medicine stolen from her before. Now she has made up her mind to give this medicine."
“…”
"Although we haven't yet figured out who stole the medicine, their purpose is obvious."
“…”
"With this purpose in mind, it's obvious what this person will do next."
Zhu Feng looked at her and said with a smile, "You, you are praised as Pushan Gong. You are really becoming more and more like Pushan Gong."
As he said that, he actually put the medicine box back into her hands.
Nan Yan held the box, smiled at Zhu Feng, stood up and walked to the cabinet, and placed it carefully.
Then she walked back and said, "I won't tell anyone about this matter." Zhu Feng nodded.
After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked someone outside to bring in some hot water, washed up quickly, and then went to bed. Nan Yan moved over and nestled in his arms. The two of them were about to sleep, but they were both thinking about something.
After a moment of silence, Nan Yan continued, "By the way, Your Majesty, I just asked her a few questions about the affairs of the Kingdom of Dian."
Zhu Feng said, "Nonsense."
“…”
"What if you startle her by asking such random questions?"
"That's not the case. I didn't tell her what Xiujun asked her. I only asked her if she had ever been to the Kingdom of Dian. Now that the battle of White Tiger City is imminent, it's reasonable for me to ask one or two questions."
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then asked, "What did she say?"
Nan Yan said, "She said that her mother, Madam Xue, was very strict with her, so as far as I can remember, she has never been there."
Zhu Feng was silent for a while.
Nan Yan looked at him with a flickering gaze, as if she was thinking about something.
After a moment, he said, "She didn't lie."
