Chapter 937: Not Hurt? Why Are You Here?
Under the same dark sky, the same gloomy clouds.
Nan Yan went into the cold palace.
However, because this palace was newly built, everything was still new, even the cold palace had not had time to decay, so the doors, windows, walls, everything here were different from the cold palace in the Jinling Imperial Palace.
The only thing that is the same is that cold and sickly atmosphere.
Accompanying the emperor, empress, civil and military officials who came to Beiping were naturally the criminal women in the cold palace.
As Nan Yan walked in, she heard occasional shrill howls and cries, as well as some crazy laughter. Someone even shouted joyfully in the night, "I have a new house to live in! I have a new house to live in. The Emperor must be favoring me again."
That voice...
It’s Xia Yunting.
Nan Yan subconsciously turned her head to look, but she could not see anything in the dark night.
At this moment, a light came on in front of her. She looked up and saw a familiar figure holding a lantern walking towards her. It was Nanny Su, who was already familiar to her.
"Madam Su."
"Your Highness."
Hearing this name, Nan Yan immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Don't call me that."
Nanny Su said calmly, "Rituals cannot be abolished. Currently, no decree has been issued to depose the title of Imperial Concubine. In that case, you will remain Imperial Concubine."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment.
In fact, how long will it take?
Whether or not she becomes a royal concubine is no big deal.
Seeing her miserable expression, Nanny Su sighed and said, "It's getting late. I'll take the Imperial Concubine to her temporary residence. That place is relatively clean."
After saying that, he waved to the two palace maids behind Nan Yan. They had originally escorted Nan Yan here, so they voluntarily withdrew at this time.
Nanny Su walked in front holding a lantern.
After a while, he brought Nan Yan to a house.
In the cold palace, most of the criminals had to sleep in a shared bunk bed, and some even had no place to sleep at all. However, there were some people with skills or connections who were able to have their own rooms and the environment was not bad.
When Nan Yan walked to the door, she found that this room was not bad.
Although it was certainly very different from the Yiku Palace where she lived when she was a noble concubine, it was obvious that Nanny Su had put some thought into it and did not want her to suffer here.
There were even lights on in the room.
The dim light outlined the shape of a slender figure, making it vague yet beautiful. As soon as Nan Yan walked in, she saw a familiar figure sitting at the table.
Qin Ruolan...
I didn't expect that.
Although, as soon as he saw her, he remembered that she had been stripped of her title of Concubine Ning and banished to the cold palace, he had really forgotten about this person. It was not until he saw her now that he suddenly realized it.
Do I want to be her companion?
"Is it you?"
"You're here too."
Qin Ruolan slowly stood up holding the edge of the table and looked up at her.
These days, she has obviously lost a lot of weight, and her chin has become sharper. Of course, this does not detract from her beauty, but makes her even more charming.
However, the word "also" that she emphasized in her words made Nan Yan frown.
She walked in calmly: "Yes, I am here too."
“…”
“…”
The two people looked at each other in silence.
The air was filled with an indescribable atmosphere of hostility or tacit understanding.
Nanny Su was watching from the side, not knowing what was going on. Although Qin Ruolan had asked her to prepare a more comfortable room for Si Nanyan after hearing the news from outside today so that she would suffer less, the two of them were so hostile when they met.
After a moment of silence, Qin Ruolan looked at Nan Yan again and said, "Is what you said today true?"
Nan Yan felt as if her heart, which was already aching, was stabbed again.
With a cold face, she said in a deep voice: "If you think it is true, then it is true."
“…”
Qin Ruolan glanced at her and said coldly: "I'm not that stupid."
Upon hearing her say this, Nanny Su beside her was also startled and said, "Your Highness, if it's not true, why did you admit it in public? You have to know that a woman's reputation is more important than anything else!"
“…”
Nan Yan glanced at her and said nothing.
Qin Ruolan, on the other hand, was silent for a moment and said, "It's not as important as my life."
Nanny Su was stunned for a moment.
Qin Ruolan said calmly: "If she doesn't sacrifice her reputation——"
"Will she die?"
"If it weren't for her, she would have died," Qin Ruolan said, her tone becoming heavier. "I'm afraid by now, the blood has already flowed like a river."
Nanny Su was startled.
Nan Yan glanced at her.
Along the way today, many people had whispered in her ears, saying how important reputation was, and that there was no benefit in making such a sacrifice, and that it would only bring suffering to herself.
She didn't want to bother with it at all.
On the contrary, Qin Ruolan, whom she hated, still had a little bit of brains.
Qin Ruolan said to Nanny Su, "If she doesn't admit it, it won't just be Prince Ning who's going to take action today. I'm afraid all the civil and military officials will stand against the emperor. If the emperor kills them, his dynasty will be over; if he doesn't kill them, he will have to abdicate."
“…”
"Your Majesty, it is impossible for you to abdicate. What will follow will probably be a battle in the imperial city."
Hearing this, Nanny Su shuddered.
She really didn't think that much.
"By that time," Qin Ruolan glanced at Si Nanyan and said, "She and her daughter will be nothing more than a wisp of wronged souls in troubled times."
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
At least now, because of her sacrifice, the Queen, Ye Zheng and others will try their best to keep their composure.
And his own life and death——
It depends on the future.
Nan Yan said, "You know all this, so why are you here?"
“…”
"Are you kidding me?"
Qin Ruolan glanced at her coldly, but uttered a sentence that made her unbelievable -
"I came to thank you."
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned.
After Qin Ruolan said this, he seemed to feel awkward as well. He frowned and immediately turned and left.
Nanny Su also followed and walked out. As she left, she whispered, "Your Highness, please rest first. If you need anything, please call me anytime."
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
Only then did I begin to understand that she was doing this for the King of Wei.
Today, I asked King Wei to question me, which actually gave King Wei an opportunity to turn the situation around.
I hope this child can be smarter and get the position of crown prince.
Thinking of this, she felt a little tired, so she walked over and prepared to close the door.
However, just as I was about to close the door, there was a sudden bang.
A hand reached out from outside and held the door open.
"you--"
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and saw the person in front of her clearly.
"Not hurt? Why are you here?"
