Chapter 2083 Birthday
Nan Yan was stunned: "No rush?"
"Um,"
Zhu Feng nodded solemnly, took the teacup on the table and took a sip, then said, "It's not that easy to check these."
“…”
"Of course, I will also have someone conduct a secret investigation."
“…”
"However, this matter must be resolved first, and the Ministry of Justice must close the case. This way, the matter between King Wei and Qi Qing can come to a temporary end."
“…”
Nan Yan stared at Zhu Feng in a daze. After a long while, she whispered, "Your Majesty, do you intend to resolve this matter?"
Zhu Feng paused for a moment, then said, "Let's just deal with this first."
“…”
After saying this, the imperial study fell into silence.
Although the silence was not long, with only two people facing each other and neither speaking, the silence was particularly obvious.
After a while, Nan Yan said, "I understand."
Zhu Feng nodded.
Nan Yan stood up by holding the armrest of the chair and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
Zhu Feng said: "Go to bed early."
Nan Yan took two steps, then suddenly stopped and turned back to ask, "It's still early. Your Majesty, would you like to go to Yikun Palace to see Xinping?"
“…”
Zhu Feng hesitated for a moment, but the tired look on his face could not be concealed even by the gloomy sky.
He said, "Forget it, I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I won't go over today."
“…”
"Wait a couple of days, when I have some free time, I'll go see her."
Nan Yan glanced at him.
If it were any other day, no matter how hard it was or how late it was, Zhu Feng would go to see Xinping, especially since Xinping had just been taken from Chengqian Palace to Yikun Palace.
He actually didn't go over.
Nan Yan suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart. Although she couldn't figure out what it was, it felt like a hand was pulling at her heart.
She whispered, "Yes."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
But just as she reached the door, Zhu Feng said, "By the way, I just had someone send over an ice tray. I'm worried you might get too hot."
“…”
"But you also have to be careful not to let her get too cool."
Nan Yan turned around and saw that he was still caring towards Xin Ping and didn't seem to have any intention of neglecting her. The slight uneasiness in her heart just now also dissipated.
She whispered, "I understand."
“…”
"Your Majesty, please rest early."
"Um."
Nan Yan left the imperial study and just as she closed the door, she felt a cool breeze blowing, blowing away the sweat on her face and making it feel damp and cold.
Ran Xiaoyu immediately stepped forward: "My Lady, shall we go back and rest?"
"Let's go."
When the two returned to Yiku Palace, they saw that Xinping had been sent to Yiku Palace. She was happy that she could live with her mother, but she was also worried about her brother who was confined to Chengqian Palace for reflection. When she slept next to Nanyan at night, she kept sighing.
Nan Yan laughed and said, "Why are you so troubled at such a young age?"
Xinping pouted and whispered, "Mother, when will father finally let my brother out?"
“…”
"It's so hot, the gates of Chengqian Palace are so closed that not even a breeze can get in."
“…”
"Mother, I'm worried about my brother."
Nan Yan sighed softly, pulled the thin blanket up to cover Xin Ping's belly, and said softly, "This matter is not up to your mother, nor even your father."
"ah?"
Xinping looked at her in surprise, his eyes wide open: "Why doesn't what Father says count?"
“…”
"Father is the most powerful person in the world!"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Your father is indeed the most powerful person in the world, but for a person, the most powerful thing is oneself."
“…”
“The only one who can free oneself from fear and the shackles of the heart is oneself.”
“…”
"So no one can help the King of Wei in this matter."
“…”
"Only him."
Xinping was still young, so naturally she was confused by what she heard. She shook her head and said, "Mother, Xinping doesn't understand."
Nan Yan smiled, lowered her head, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Mother just hopes you never understand."
“…”
"Mother and your father both hope that you will live a happy and peaceful life without any setbacks or setbacks. Naturally, these things should be kept as far away from you as possible."
Although Xinping didn't understand anything else, he understood this sentence.
She said, "Xin Ping will definitely do it."
Nan Yan laughed and said softly, "Go to sleep."
"Ai."
Xinping closed his eyes obediently. The child's state of mind is naturally simple and clean. After a while, he fell asleep.
Looking at her daughter's innocent sleeping face, Nan Yan felt both relieved and happy.
But there is still a faint gloom in my heart.
Zhu Feng plans to solve this matter first?
So, how does he plan to solve it?

A few days later, it was Queen Xu Miaoyin's birthday.
Because they were familiar with Zhu Feng's dislike of extravagance, and as the Empress of the Central Palace, she had to set an example in the harem, so over the years, the Empress's birthday was rarely celebrated in a big way.
Sometimes, there is not even a banquet.
However, each palace would still go to Yonghe Palace to kowtow and celebrate the birthday as usual.
Nan Yan got up at dawn that day.
After getting dressed, she turned around and saw Xinping still sound asleep. She smiled and walked over to pinch her daughter's chubby face: "Wake up, lazy pig, the sun is burning your butt."
“Woo…”
When Xinping heard this, she pursed her lips and made an expression as if she was about to cry.
"I want to sleep."
"Hurry up and get up. Today is the Queen's birthday. Mother will take you there to kowtow to the Queen and wish her a happy birthday."
“…”
"If you don't get up, your mother won't take you with her."
“…”
"By then, both Father and the Empress will know that Xinping is an unruly girl."
She was half threatening and half muttering non-stop. Xinping was finally woken up from her dream and could only get up with a wronged look. Fortunately, after washing up, he woke up.
While sitting with Nan Yan and having breakfast, she asked, "Mother, today is the Queen's birthday. What gift should we give her?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's already prepared."
As she spoke, she pointed to the cabinet on the other side. There was a pair of jade bracelets that she had someone prepare long ago. They were crystal clear and a rare treasure.
Xinping blinked: "Then what should I give to the Queen?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "How about giving yourself to the Queen?"
Xinping was stunned and immediately hugged Nanyan.
"not good!"
“…”
"I still want my mother!"
Seeing her daughter hugging her so sweetly, Nan Yan felt her heart melt.
Touching her little face, she said, "Silly child, how could mother bear to do that? The Queen doesn't want anything from you, just be good."
Xinping looked up at her.
Suddenly he asked again: "Then, will the emperor come today?"
