Chapter 574 The Day of Enthronement 5
While walking on the road, Nan Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Eunuch Yu, is there anything unusual happening at Chonghua Palace today?"
Eunuch Yu glanced at her.
A rare serious expression appeared on Nan Yan's face.
Eunuch Yu thought for a moment, then said softly, "I have been staying with the Imperial Concubine all day, and haven't been able to take care of the trivial matters in the palace."
“…”
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will go and find out right away."
Nan Yan nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."
"I dare not."
After saying that, Eunuch Yu turned and left, while Nan Yan continued walking forward. After a while, they arrived at the magnificent Yiku Palace.
The place had already been cleaned thoroughly, and the furnishings inside had also been carefully designed. They were not only luxurious but also elegant. Although magnificent, they did not appear tacky at all.
Even though she had something on her mind, Nan Yan couldn't help but sigh softly.
Then, turning around, he saw the gorgeous imperial concubine's dress hanging on the hanger next to him. It was so golden and shining that people dared not look at it closely.
What beautiful clothes!
Although I have seen it before, today is the first time I feel that it belongs to me.
Nan Yan looked a little dazed.
The palace maids came in immediately, helped her take off her long dress, and then changed into the gorgeous dress. Then they sat in front of the dressing table, touched up her makeup, and combed her hair more neatly.
At this time, Eunuch Yu walked in from outside.
Nan Yan saw him in the mirror, walked up to him, and whispered, "My Lady."
Nan Yan asked, "Did Eunuch Yu get any news?"
Eunuch Yu leaned forward and whispered, "Empress Kang received an unexpected visitor early this morning. I made some inquiries and it seems to be the Empress's sister."
“……!”
Nan Yan's breath suddenly stopped.
Simulan?
Did she come to the palace to see Wu Wan?
What does she want to do?
Nan Yan knew how this so-called sister had treated her since she was a child. Even last time when she went home for the New Year, she still called her a "bastard" and treated her very badly. She had no intention of reconciling with her at all.
And Wu Wan...
This was not the first or second time they had tried to kill her.
These people can be said to be his mortal enemies. If they collude with each other...
Is there really something wrong with today's enthronement ceremony?
Nan Yan frowned.
At this time, Eunuch Yu glanced at her again and said in a low voice: "I also asked about it by the way."
Nan Yan turned and looked at him.
"I heard that soon after your elder sister arrived at Chonghua Palace, Concubine Kang had someone leave the harem. It seems she was going to pass on a message to the Duke."
"Dong Cheng?"
"Yes."
“…”
"It's just that the matter was hidden, so I couldn't find out what it was."
“…”
Nan Yan pondered for a moment, then smiled at Eunuch Yu and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch."
After saying that, he asked Ran Xiaoyu to take out a ten-liang silver ingot and give it to him.
Eunuch Yu had initially declined, but Nan Yan smiled and said, "Today's enthronement is a major event. To avoid any unforeseen consequences, please take care of me. This is just my hard-earned money for wine and food."
Eunuch Yu thought for a moment, then pocketed the silver and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
After saying that, he retreated outside.
As soon as he left, Ran Xiaoyu immediately asked, "Did something happen?"
Nan Yan waved her hand, signaling her not to speak. After her hair was combed, she asked the palace maids to wait outside. Then she said to Ran Xiaoyu, "Can you help me find the letter I received yesterday in the luggage I moved here?"
When Ran Xiaoyu heard this, she hurriedly turned around to open the box.
Fortunately, she had been keeping an eye on the luggage while packing, and she remembered clearly where each of Nan Yan's things were placed and which box they were packed into, so she found the letter quickly.
Nan Yan picked it up and looked at it, then took out the letter and looked at it.
Suddenly, he gasped.
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and said, "This letter has been replaced."
"You, how do you know?"
"The envelope is old, at least several years old, but the letter paper is new."
“…”
"Obviously someone took the real letter and wrote one in my name to deceive me."
“…”
"I, I was so happy and relaxed these past two days that I didn't even notice it."
As she spoke, she looked at the envelope in her hand and said, "Since it was given to me by my grandmother, she would never do such a thing. If she wanted to do this, she could have simply concealed the existence of this letter."
“…”
"It's Simulan!"
“…”
"It must be her. She peeked at the letter and then wrote me a reply in my grandmother's handwriting. Today, she must have taken the original letter to see Concubine Kang."
Ran Xiaoyu was startled: "Then-then what should we do? Should we go find them?"
“…It’s too late.”
Nan Yan frowned: "It's already this time, the ceremony is about to take place."
Ran Xiaoyu was anxious and asked, "Is there really no way?"
“…”
"What was written in the letter she concealed? Will it harm you?"
"I think so."
"Well, do you want me to find a way to get it back?"
Nan Yan shook her head: "Since the things are in Concubine Kang's hands, it's not so easy for her to let you take them back. Besides..." She looked at Ran Xiaoyu with a wry smile: "You are impulsive again."
“…”
"She is a concubine after all."
“…”
"If you fight her, even if I'm the imperial concubine, I can't protect you."
“…”
"You can't think like that anymore, okay?"
Ran Xiaoyu was a little anxious: "But, do we really have to wait for them to take action?"
“…”
Nan Yan fell silent.
The biggest problem now is that she has no idea what the original content of the letter her grandmother wanted to pass on to her was.
However, judging from Simulan's actions and the attitudes of Concubine Kang and the others—
I'm afraid it's not good news.
It may even really affect today's canonization.
Seeing her silence, Ran Xiaoyu became even more anxious: "Don't just think about it, you have to give me a solution."
“…”
"How can I help you?"
Seeing her anxious look, Nan Yan smiled instead.
She said softly, "Xiaoyu, you are so nice."
"you--"
"But you can't help me with this matter today."
“…”
"No one can help me."
“…”
"There is only one person, only one person who can help me and decide all this."
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly asked, "Who?"
"emperor."
"emperor?"
"Yes," Nan Yan said calmly, "Just now, Eunuch Yu said that Concubine Kang even sent a message to Duke Cheng. This is obviously to mobilize officials from the previous dynasty."
“…”
"In other words, this letter affects more than just the harem."
