Chapter 595 Men... all care about this
In the haze, I seemed to feel the same feeling as that night, a warm touch came over me, and the whole person seemed to be flying in the clouds, slowly falling into the clouds.
A warm breath brushed my cheek.
A soft spot on the forehead.
Nan Yan was somewhat immersed in the feeling of being surrounded by this aura. After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard Ran Xiaoyu calling her -
"My Lady."
"My Lady, wake up."
She opened her eyes drowsily and frowned when she saw her guarding the bed.
How did you wake yourself up?
I haven't been able to sleep at night these past few days, and I finally get to take a nap.
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has left."
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment: "What?"
"The Emperor just came, but he left."
Nan Yan hurriedly sat up and found herself lying in bed again, just like that night.
It turns out that everything I just felt in the haze was not a dream.
Was it Zhu Feng who carried me in?
She hurriedly asked, "You, why didn't you call me?"
Ran Xiaoyu said, "The emperor forbade us to speak. When he came, he brought the empress in and drove us out."
“…”
"Once he leaves, this servant can come in and wake the queen."
Nan Yan frowned.
He came to see him, but he didn't let them wake him up.
So - does he want to see me or not?
Ran Xiaoyu thought for a moment, then whispered, "Your Majesty, the Emperor doesn't look well."
"how?"
"His eyes are bloodshot. I heard that he has been staying in the imperial study these days and hasn't been to the harem."
Especially, she saw how he hugged Nan Yan just now.
It was as if he wanted to swallow her up.
That possessiveness is exactly the same as before.
The emperor has not changed.
But why did he treat the imperial concubine like this?
Just when their thoughts were in a state of confusion, Aunt Tongyun suddenly walked in from outside and said hurriedly, "My Lady, this servant has found out!"
"oh?"
She hasn't shown up much in the past few days. Nan Yan of course knows that she went to investigate the matter.
It seems that there is a clue.
So he calmed himself down and asked Ran Xiaoyu to close the door.
Ran Xiaoyu asked anxiously, "Aunt, what happened? Why did the queen's uterine blood disappear?"
Aunt Tongyun came over and whispered to Nanyan, "Your Majesty, I've been looking through the medical books I've collected these past few days and found a special potion that, if applied to a woman's body, will temporarily make the toad's blood disappear."
"A temporary disappearance?"
"Yes, as long as the woman is still a virgin, the shoka sand will naturally appear again after a few days."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned and looked down at her arms.
So, my uterine blood disappeared just like that?
Aunt Tongyun said: "If Your Majesty can conclude that the Emperor did not favor you, then someone must have used that drug on Your Majesty."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Can we find the source of this medicine?"
Aunt Tongyun shook her head and said, "It's difficult, because although the preparation of this medicine is very complicated, the herbs required are very common."
“…”
"A few days ago, with the beginning of spring, the Imperial Pharmacy distributed a lot of medicinal herbs to each palace."
“…”
"Those herbs are enough to prepare such a medicine."
“…”
"and--"
"And what?"
"Also, after applying this medicine to the body, it doesn't take effect immediately. Instead, it will take some time to take effect, depending on the strength of the medicine."
“…”
"So, Your Majesty saw that the toad's blood disappeared that day, but maybe—"
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "Maybe, I was drugged earlier."
Aunt Tongyun nodded: "Yes."
Ran Xiaoyu became anxious when she heard this: "Then, isn't it difficult to find out the truth?"
"Um."
"What should we do? How can we keep the Empress innocent?"
“…”
Seeing her anxious look, Nan Yan was very calm and said lightly: "This is nothing serious."
Ran Xiaoyu asked in surprise: "Why?"
Nan Yan said, "I don't care who drugged me."
“…”
"As long as I stay in the palace, or even as a concubine, there will be people trying to drug or even poison me."
“…”
"I have no interest in these people or their thoughts."
“…”
"I only care about one thing—"
Aunt Tongyun said, "Your Majesty, I am preparing the antidote. In fact, the effect of that medicine can only last for a period of time. After a period of time, the effect will wear off and the toad blood will naturally reappear."
“…”
"Then your Majesty will be cleared of all charges."
“…”
"You can also explain it to the emperor."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment and shook her head: "If this is the only way to prove my innocence, then that is not the innocence I want."
“…”
"My innocence is not just a piece of unknown toad sand."
“…”
"My innocence is not mine..."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu and Aunt Tongyun, who were standing by, were a little surprised at her determined expression.
If innocence is not on me, then where is it?
Nan Yan said word by word: "In his heart!"
Ran Xiaoyu and Aunt Tongyun looked at each other.
The two of them seemed to understand something.
She didn't want to prove her innocence herself, but to find out what Zhu Feng was thinking.
Aunt Tongyun hesitated for a moment and said softly, "My Lady, this is too risky."
Nan Yan looked at her.
Aunt Tongyun frowned slightly and said, "Although the Emperor dotes on the Empress, this kind of thing is not something you can joke about."
“…”
"Men... all care about this."
“…”
"Just look at the world today and you'll understand. Even if a woman is the victim, in the end, she's still the one who suffers."
“…”
"Let the emperor know the truth first."
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Tomorrow is the day to enthronize the King of Wei, right?"
Not knowing why she asked this, Ran Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes."
“…”
Nan Yan lowered her head, gently pinched her arm, and said, "Since it is the day of the enthronement of King Wei, I don't want any more accidents to happen."
“…”
"Let's talk about it after the canonization is completed."
Ran Xiaoyu also fell silent.
Indeed, the enthronement of King Wei is also a major event, and Nan Yan’s consideration is reasonable.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "What are the plans for tomorrow?"
Aunt Tongyun said, "This morning is the previous dynasty's enthronement ceremony, so Your Majesty doesn't have to attend. However, we have prepared the gifts and will send them over early tomorrow morning. It's just that—"
"Just what?"
"It's just that the Emperor will hold a banquet in Chengqian Palace tomorrow night."
"Hold a banquet..." Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Okay."
