Chapter 559 I'm going to deal with her!
Nan Yan turned around and was about to walk out, but at this moment, Aunt Tongyun grabbed her.
"Nan Yan, what are you going to do?"
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to take care of her!"
“…”
"I can't let her bully me like this, and I can't let Xiaoyu be hurt by her like this in vain!"
Aunt Tongyun glanced back at Ye Zheng, who was frowning, and then at Nan Yan, who was already gritting her teeth with rage. She forcefully tugged at her hand, pulled her aside, and whispered, "Are you going to complain to the Emperor?"
Nan Yan was panting heavily.
"certainly!"
“…”
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated, and she must be punished for her evil deeds!"
Aunt Tongyun said in a deep voice: "No!"
Nan Yan was stunned and looked up at her: "Why?"
Aunt Tongyun whispered in her ear, "Nanyan, if you report this to the Emperor, he will be furious. And then—this matter will spread completely."
“…”
"Let's not even talk about whether the case can be investigated thoroughly, but Xiaoyu's reputation will be ruined!"
Nan Yan was stunned and turned to look at her.
Aunt Tongyun said, "I'm afraid Lord Ye is also implicated."
“…”
"Although nothing happened, you know how venomous the people in the harem are. If this continues for a long time, Xiaoyu will not be able to live like a human being anymore!"
When Nan Yan heard her words, she suddenly woke up.
Indeed, although the incident did not actually happen, in this case, it doesn’t really matter whether it happened or not.
Once a woman's reputation is in doubt, she will never be able to recover.
Xiaoyu was implicated by herself. She was drugged and did that to Ye Zheng. It was already very embarrassing for her.
How can she be despised by others?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan gradually calmed down.
Moreover, after calming down and thinking about it again, Aunt Tongyun's words made sense.
They only saw the figures of Xi Que and Fu Lan, but did not catch them in the act. The only evidence left was a little water in the cup that was almost gone. If Xia Yunting and the others wanted to deny it, it would be easy.
Besides, I'm afraid they have destroyed the other evidence long ago.
Complaining now is definitely not a good solution.
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
Hearing her say this, Aunt Tongyun felt a little relieved and let go of her hand.
But the next moment, Nan Yan looked back at Ran Xiaoyu who had fallen into a deep sleep, and said to Ye Zheng, "Ye Zheng, please help me call two young eunuchs over."
Ye Zheng was originally looking at Xiaoyu, and when he heard her words, he asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Nan Yan pointed to the basket of bayberries in the corner and said, "I'm going to Shou'an Palace."
“…”
"Tell them to bring this to me."
Aunt Tongyun hurriedly asked: "Why are you——"
Nan Yan said calmly, "Don't worry, auntie, I'm not going to complain. I won't disregard Xiaoyu's reputation."
“…”
"But I can't let anyone bully me for nothing!"
“…”
"Those who do evil must be punished!"
Seeing her serious expression, Ye Zheng stopped smiling and after a moment of silence, he turned around and went out to call two young eunuchs to help her.
He only said: "Nan Yan, do what you can."
Nan Yan nodded.

On the other side, in Shou'an Palace.
Ever since that incident, Xia Yunting has been restless and kept asking Fulan to go out and inquire about the news to see if Si Nanyan was convicted of adultery in the palace.
But, it never happened.
This time, Fulan came back from outside again and reported the situation outside to her in her ear. Xia Yunting frowned when she heard it.
"What did you say?"
"I just heard that Si Nanyan and that Master Ye Zheng carried Ran Xiaoyu back together."
“…”
"Along the way, many people saw that Ran Xiaoyu was sick."
“…”
"It looks like it was Ran Xiaoyu who was poisoned by the drug."
"ah?"
Xia Yunting was surprised: "It's her."
“…”
"What a miscalculation! How could she be poisoned? Didn't you guys check the time? Didn't Si Nanyan go back before her?"
Fulan frowned: "I don't know what went wrong."
Xia Yunting thought for a while, then suddenly became a little panicked again, and said, "Since Si Nanyan wasn't drugged, will she come to find us?"
Fulan said, "She doesn't have a third eye, so how could she know it was us?"
“…”
"Besides, even if she knew, what would happen? What evidence does she have?"
“…”
"I have already disposed of those medicines. There is no trace of them in Shou'an Palace. Zhaoyi, don't worry."
Hearing her say this, Xia Yunting nodded.
But just when she breathed a sigh of relief, Xi Que rushed in from outside, her face pale as she said, "Zhaoyi, the female official is here."
"What?!"
Xia Yunting was so frightened that his hand trembled and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.
He fell to the ground with a loud bang and was shattered into pieces.
The tea soaked her clothes.
But at this moment, she didn't care about these things. She was so scared that she quickly grabbed Fulan and said, "What should I do? She's here to cause trouble for me. What should I do?"
Fulan panicked for a moment, but then she remembered something and asked Xi Que, "Did she come with the Queen and the others?"
"No, she was alone with two young eunuchs, saying she was delivering something to Zhaoyi."
When Fulan heard this, he patted Xia Yunting's hand and said, "Don't worry, Zhaoyi, she definitely didn't find any evidence."
"Why?"
"If she found evidence, she would definitely go directly to the Empress or the Emperor to complain."
“…”
"Then there must be more than one person coming."
“…”
"Now, as long as we deny it, she can't do anything to us."
Hearing her say this, Xia Yunting calmed down a little.
At this time, Si Nanyan had already walked in from the gate.
Although she was petite, for some reason, when she walked in, it was as if a gust of wind blew in, and Xia Yunting immediately stood up from the chair.
She was so frightened that she trembled slightly, but she still forced herself to act confident and said with her neck stiff, "You, what are you doing here?"
Nan Yan walked in and looked at the three pale women in the room.
Then he sneered, neither greeting nor asking for courtesy, but walked directly to the table, brushed off the corner of his clothes and sat down.
Pointing to an empty space in front of them, he said, "Put your things here."
The two young eunuchs immediately put the basket of bayberries there.
Nan Yan said, "Wait for me outside. I can call you anytime if I need anything."
The two young eunuchs also listened to Ye Zheng's words and retreated respectfully.
There were only four of them left in the huge Shou'an Palace.
Nan Yan sat on the stool, looking coldly at the three women with panicked expressions and flickering eyes.
