Chapter 719 Don’t Eat What She Gives You
"When they saw you like this, they let us go."
“…”
"He seems very worried about you. He's just like the King of Nanli, he seems very worried about your safety."
Nan Yan was a little confused for a moment.
Although Monk and Arslan were indeed quite nice to her after she arrived in the Kingdom of Dang, she always knew that favors are favors and interests are interests.
Are they really going to just step aside and do nothing just because they’re not feeling well?
Ran Xiaoyu continued, "There is one person among them who looks like an official and is relatively old. He seems to want to keep you here."
Nan Yan knew it was Mandu as soon as she heard it.
"However, the Emperor of Dian and the King of Nanli stopped him."
“…”
"He hesitated for a long time, and when he saw that the queen had fainted, he didn't make a move in the end."
When this was mentioned, Nan Yan couldn't help but frown.
She looked up at Ran Xiaoyu: "By the way, what happened to me? Why did I faint?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu didn't say anything, just glanced at her.
She had that complicated look on her face again. Nan Yan felt a little uneasy when she looked at her. She said, "I, I'm not sick, am I?"
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her for a while.
Nan Yan felt that her expression was a little strange, as if she was holding something back. After a long while, she said, "Let the emperor tell you about this matter."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and murmured, "If I had told you in advance, my entire clan might have been exterminated..."
"Why?"
Nan Yan looked at her in surprise.
Ran Xiaoyu waved her hand and said, "By the way, Madam, you've been unconscious for the past two days, so I can only feed you some porridge and soup. You must be hungry, would you like something to eat? I'll have someone bring it to you. The kitchen has been preparing it."
"Porridge and soup?"
Nan Yan listened and smacked her lips - if this was what she was eating, why was there a bitter taste in her mouth?
I thought they had drugged themselves.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously looked up at the door. Was it Zhu Feng?
But the next moment, a somewhat familiar, slim figure walked in.
"Your Highness."
“…”
Nan Yan was originally happy because they had successfully "escaped danger", but when she saw her, her mood became gloomy again.
Concubine Ning, Qin Ruolan.
She walked in carrying a bowl of medicine.
When she saw her, Nan Yan suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She did not forget that before she was abducted on Xingluo Lake, Qin Ruolan and Zhu Feng were almost inseparable, and when the two sides met in the Great Wall Trench, she also followed Zhu Feng closely.
What's more, as Monk said, the two of them have been together these days.
Just thinking about this, Nan Yan immediately felt a little dizzy.
It feels like being on the beacon tower, just before fainting.
She supported her forehead with one hand and said, "Concubine Ning, what are you doing here?"
As she spoke, Ran Xiaoyu had already walked up to her and stopped her.
Qin Ruolan glanced at Ran Xiaoyu, then looked at Nan Yan who was sitting on the bed. Although there was a smile on her beautiful face, it was actually a frosty coldness.
She said, "I heard that the Imperial Concubine has returned from her ordeal and is feeling unwell."
“…”
"I came specially to give you An--"
"Alright," Ran Xiaoyu interrupted her rudely, "The Queen doesn't need your medicine."
Qin Ruolan was not angry. She just glanced at Ran Xiaoyu, then put the medicine bowl on the table and said, "This is not my medicine. It was prepared by the pharmacy for the imperial concubine. I just brought it along because I was coming here."
Nan Yan asked, "Then why are you here?"
“…”
Concubine Ning was silent for a moment, then said, "Look at you."
“…”
"See if you're okay?"
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "Now you see, I'm fine."
“…”
"You should go back. If you stay here any longer, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble."
This is not a very polite order to leave.
Anyway, when the two of them were at the Imperial Mausoleum, they had already made their respective attitudes clear. They didn't openly tear each other apart, but it was impossible for them to act like "good sisters".
Concubine Ning glanced at her and said, "Okay, then you should have a good rest."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After waiting until she left, Ran Xiaoyu rushed over, picked up the medicine bowl on the table, opened the window and poured it into the flowerbed outside.
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment: "Hey? Why did you fall?"
“…”
"Didn't she say it was sent from the pharmacy?"
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at her and said, "I'll ask the pharmacy to refill the medicine and boil it again."
“…”
"Anyway, don't eat anything that has passed through her hands."
Nan Yan laughed in silence. Ran Xiaoyu was being too cautious.
Although he and Qin Ruolan didn't get along, she wouldn't go so far as to poison him openly.
Qin Ruolan is not that kind of person.
Ran Xiaoyu put the bowl aside, walked back to the bed, and said, "In short, my lady, you must be obedient and careful. Don't get close to her, don't eat anything she gives you, and just ignore her."
Nan Yan felt something was wrong: "What happened?"
“…”
"Why are you so cautious?"
“…”
"Is there something wrong with my body?"
Ran Xiaoyu said, "I'll tell you about this when the emperor comes."
"So, what about the Emperor?"
Nan Yan finally had time to think about it. She looked around and recognized that this was indeed the room she had lived in before in the Prince of Yan's Mansion in Peking. However, after waking up, she did not see Zhu Feng.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Originally, the emperor has been staying by your side for the past two days, and he just left."
"Where did he go?"
"I went to quarrel with Ye Zheng."
"ah?"
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide: "What?"
Ran Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said, "I heard that the guy originally went to Henan to suppress bandits, but somehow, he got to know that the emperor only brought a small number of troops to the Kingdom of Dian, so he rushed back."
“…”
"He just rushed here, looking like he was going to rebel."
“…”
"The Emperor was afraid he would wake you up, so he took him to the study."
“…”
"Humph, judging by his appearance, I think he has probably been skinned and torn apart by the Emperor."
Nan Yan listened and wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
In the past, she didn't know why Ye Zheng could act freely in front of Zhu Feng and always maintain her lively personality. Now, after listening to the story told by Zhu Feng, she knew why.
A wave of sadness welled up in my heart.
