Chapter 611 He’s Not Coming Tonight
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
She didn't expect that a nanny in the cold palace would say such words.
It can be seen that although this Nanny Su is not too old, she has experienced many vicissitudes of life and has a clear understanding of the affairs of the world.
She said softly, "That makes sense."
But she immediately said, "But there is one thing I still want to tell Mammy."
“…”
"Your wine flask was always clean from the time I borrowed it to the time I returned it. I didn't put anything poisonous in it."
Nanny Su was stunned for a moment.
Nan Yan turned her head and listened to Xia Yunting's voice coming from afar. She said calmly, "The real poison is in her heart."
“…”
"She was driven mad by the poison in her own heart."
“…”
Nanny Su's eyes flickered.
She looked at Nan Yan seriously, as if trying to determine whether what she said was true or false.
Nan Yan, with a firm gaze and a smile on her face, let her watch.
After a long while, Nanny Su sighed softly and said, "I understand."
Nan Yan smiled.
Nanny Su glanced at her again and suddenly said, "Your Highness, would you like some tea?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Okay."
So she made her a cup of tea.
From ignoring her just now to letting her sit down and now serving her tea, it seems that this Nanny Su's hostility towards her is not that strong anymore.
Nan Yan took a sip and found it was actually the best Biluochun.
She put down the teacup, only to find Nanny Su sitting beside her, her eyes as clear as a mirror staring straight at her face.
It seems like he is trying to identify something.
Nan Yan felt a little uncomfortable when she was looked at by her. In fact, she had no purpose in coming here. She just wanted to meet this weird Nanny Su.
Now that we've seen each other, it's time to go back.
So after taking two sips of tea, she was about to say goodbye when Nanny Su suddenly spoke up, "I heard that something unexpected happened when Her Majesty was conferring a title a few days ago?"
I didn't expect that she knew about it even though she lived in the cold palace.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Yes."
"My Lady, are you from Neng?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
"Then the Madam is no longer a member of the Si family?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her doubtfully.
Nanny Su's words seemed to indicate that she had some understanding of the Si family, or rather the people of the Si family.
She said, "Mammy, do you know my family?"
“…”
Nanny Su was silent for a moment, then said, "Marquis Bowang is truly exceptional and splendid, rarely seen in the world."
“……!”
Nan Yan looked at her in surprise.
Why did you say such a strange thing?
I am not even Si Zhongwen's daughter, so what relationship do I have with Si Boyan, the Marquis of Bowang?
She whispered, "Madam Su, have you met my uncle?"
Nanny Su said, "I used to serve the Emperor Gao and have met Marquis Bowang."
"That--"
Nan Yan wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she didn't know what to say.
She knew nothing about that past.
This Nanny Su doesn't seem to have anything to do with me.
The two of them sat in silence for a long time.
Nan Yan looked at her in confusion.
And Nanny Su, with her pair of shrewd and restrained eyes, was staring at Nan Yan's face.
It was as if he wanted to see some cause and effect from her face.
Nan Yan felt strange.
After sitting for a while, she really didn't know what to do, so she stood up and said goodbye.
Just as she was about to leave, Nanny Su suddenly said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
Nan Yan stopped and saw her turn around to open the cabinet, pick up something and walk over, saying, "Since we are meeting for the first time, this is my gift to you, Your Majesty."
When I looked down, it turned out to be the Nine-Curved Mandarin Duck Pot.
Nan Yan was a little surprised: "This——"
"And this hundred taels of silver," Madam Su said, "I'll return it all."
“…”
Because I gave her an explanation, she returned all the banknotes to me.
Nan Yan thought about it and took the pot.
But he returned the banknote.
Nanny Su said: "This is——"
Nan Yan glanced at the room where Xia Yunting was imprisoned and said calmly, "This money can be considered as a reward for the care and effort that Madam has put in to look after her."
Nanny Su asked, "Your Highness still cares about her?"
Nan Yan shook her head and said, "I don't care about her. According to the law, what she did to me is enough for her to end up like this."
“…”
"But the law is ruthless, and I am not."
“…”
Nanny Su looked at her for a while, then smiled and said, "I understand."
So, Nan Yan took the wine jug and left the cold palace.
This Nanny Su is not a simple person.
There were actually not many people who had served Emperor Gao.
Many people were implicated in those major cases in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was a rare thing that she survived.
There are many mysteries about this person.
After Nan Yan returned to Yiku Palace, her thoughts were in a mess. In fact, so many things happened after the enthronement that she didn't have time to think about the most important thing to her.
One's own life experience.
His adoptive father brought him back from the Kingdom of Dang.
Then, am I really a native of Dian?
If he was from the Neng Kingdom, why did Si Zhongwen bring him back?
Who are my biological parents? Why haven’t they looked for me all these years?
So messy!
In a blink of an eye, dusk fell.
Nan Yan subconsciously looked towards the gate outside.
Will Zhu Feng come tonight?
Thinking of this, she felt a little shy. After all, he had tormented her enough in the past two days, and she had to be laughed at by Ran Xiaoyu and the others during the day. She was really a little "afraid" of him coming.
With such conflicting thoughts in mind, she sat by the window, watching the sky gradually darken.
Zhu Feng still didn't come.
Maybe he won't come tonight?
Are you angry with yourself?
After all, driving a person crazy is not a trivial matter. Later, I heard that even Concubine Zhuang and Concubine An fell ill. The gates of Chonghua Palace were closed, and it was said that they were closed to visitors for the past two days.
Am I going too far?
Thinking about it this way, I feel a little aggrieved.
Maybe I was a little too much, but when they dealt with me, their methods were no gentler than mine.
At least I didn't poison or drug anyone.
Dinner was delivered from the imperial kitchen.
Zhu Feng still didn't come.
She waited until the food was a little cold, and then she finished it with a tasteless taste.
Then he leaned over the table, supporting his chin with one hand, and looked at the flickering candlelight on the table.
He, isn't coming?
At this time, the little palace maid Nianqiu came over and said softly, "Your Majesty, your hair is a little messy. Let me help you comb it."
"It's so late, why are you still combing your hair?"
"But what if the emperor comes?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at the completely dark sky outside and said, "He definitely won't come. I'm afraid he's already gone somewhere else."
“…”
"That's fine, it's just right that you don't come."
“…”
"It's so hard to be alone and have some peace and quiet."
“…”
“Besides,” she didn’t see Nian Qiu winking at her as she was killing a chicken and wiping her neck, and murmured, “Won’t he be tired?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a cold voice at the door -
"What do you think?"
When she looked up, she saw Zhu Feng standing outside the door, looking at her with a sullen face.
