Chapter 2384 Who is it?
"This is exactly what I find strange."
“…”
"Moreover, she said that Lord Liu is like 'that person'. Who is 'that person' referring to?"
"That person..."
Ran Xiaoyu repeated these three words and fell into deep thought.
Now, Princess Xinping is in a coma. Even though we know that she once said such strange words and did strange things to Lord Liu, we don’t know why she was like this.
Let alone knowing who "that person" is.
She said, “Who is it?”
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and thought for a long time. Suddenly, an idea flashed before her eyes, and she said, "Do you remember that we speculated before that Xin Ping might have peeped into someone else's secret, which led to revenge. She was pushed into the lake and drowned, thus killing her."
Ran Xiaoyu nodded: "Not bad."
Nan Yan asked, "Does this secret have anything to do with what she said and did to Liu Yueze?"
When Ran Xiaoyu heard this, her eyes suddenly widened.
She said, "What the Queen means is that Her Royal Highness the Princess may have seen others say and do such things!"
“…”
"Also, Imperial Physician Xue had previously speculated that the person who harmed Her Royal Highness the Princess might be a concubine."
“…”
"So, by that calculation, there is a concubine—"
"There is a concubine,"
Nan Yan's face turned pale. He took over her words and said in a deep voice, "I said these words and did this to someone."
“…”
"Xinping accidentally stumbled upon it. Although she didn't know that this was a taboo in the harem, she saw it and learned it."
“…”
"Children of Xinping's age have only a vague understanding of such things, and they love to imitate adults. So when Liu Yueze gave her something to eat, she was overjoyed and said and did the same thing to him."
Ran Xiaoyu gasped.
She nodded and said, "My Lady, that makes sense."
“…”
"We suspected it before, maybe it was a concubine or some delicate palace maid. If it was a palace maid, even if she was having sex with a eunuch, or really had an affair... with someone, the Emperor and His Majesty, with their kind hearts, would always turn a blind eye and not punish her severely."
Just like her and Ye Zheng.
The emperor and the imperial concubine did not criticize their relationship too much, but instead showed them great tolerance.
So, if something like this happened to a palace maid, the worst that could happen would be a beating.
It is not necessary to risk the wrath of the world by murdering a princess, which is a serious crime punishable by the execution of the entire family!
So, it could only be a concubine.
If a concubine said such words to a man, it would mean that she was unfaithful to the emperor. Even if the punishment was not known, the harem would definitely deal with her, and she would have no chance of survival.
Nan Yan nodded and said in a deep voice, "Not bad."
“…”
"It can only be a concubine."
“…”
"A concubine's promotion and honor are not only related to herself, but also to the honor and disgrace of her entire family and their lives. If this concubine finds out that Xinping has spied on her affair, she will definitely be silenced to prevent her from leaking the secret."
Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, she insisted on having the matter investigated secretly in the harem, rather than letting the emperor investigate publicly in a rage.
Otherwise, if this is discovered, they will lose all face.
He is also in charge of the harem and ignores it.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan took a deep breath.
Ran Xiaoyu nodded continuously: "Yes, that must be the case!"
“…”
"That--"
Having said that, although everything seems to make sense, the biggest trouble arises.
She looked at Nan Yan, and Nan Yan's expression also became gloomy.
Who is it?
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door. Nan Yan held her breath, and Ran Xiaoyu immediately turned around and asked, "Who?"
The people outside seemed startled.
He whispered, "Your Majesty, I have come to visit Her Royal Highness the Princess."
It was Xue Yun's voice.
Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Ran Xiaoyu. Ran Xiaoyu immediately walked over and opened the door. Sure enough, she saw Xue Yun standing at the door with her medicine box on his back. Perhaps she thought it was strange that they had the doors and windows closed in broad daylight, so she didn't dare to come in easily.
He simply said, "I'm here to visit Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Please come in."
"Thank you very much."
She walked in and saw Nan Yan sitting in front of the chair. Although this was where she lived and she had been here many times in the past two days because of the princess's affairs, she didn't know why. When she walked in this time, she clearly felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little off.
To be exact, it's a bit low.
In particular, the imperial concubine exuded an invisible aura that made it almost hard to breathe.
She stepped forward and carefully bowed to Nan Yan: "Greetings, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Xue."
"It's my duty, I dare not complain."
"You go ahead."
"yes."
Xue Yun turned around and walked into the inner room. The princess was still lying quietly on the bed, without any movement. However, when he touched her forehead, he found that the fever had indeed subsided.
Xue Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
She whispered to the silent princess, "I'm sorry."
Then he lifted the quilt covering her and took her hand.
When Ran Xiaoyu saw it, she immediately rushed forward: "What are you doing?!"
Xue Yun was startled by her. Turning around, he saw Nan Yan also frowning at him. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the princess has been unconscious. Although injecting her with decoctions from time to time can save her life, it's not good for her to lie still all the time."
Nan Yan stood up and walked over: "What do you mean——"
"People need regular exercise to prevent their muscles and bones from becoming numb. Especially if Her Royal Highness sleeps all the time like the Princess does, if she doesn't exercise her muscles and bones, she might develop bedsores, which would be terrible."
After hearing what she said, Nan Yan understood.
He asked, "That's it, helping her move her arms and legs?"
"right,"
Xue Yun carefully held Xinping's wrist, allowing her arms to bend and straighten naturally, and then did the same with her legs. He then said, "As for her back, which can't be moved as often as her hands and feet, she also needs occasional massage to promote blood circulation and activate the joints. This may help her wake up sooner."
Nan Yan nodded and said, "I understand."
She stood by and watched Xue Yun's hand movements carefully, and also planned to help her daughter move her hands and feet herself in the future.
Xue Yun massaged Xinping's back without turning around. He only asked quietly, "Your Majesty, I just saw that Lord Liu seemed to be coming over."
Nan Yan's eyes flashed.
She asked softly, "My Lady, are you investigating the Princess's affairs?"
