Chapter 1380 is a coral bead bracelet
Nan Yan glanced at her and said with a half-smile, "Do you really think it just happened to break?"
Nian Qiu was stunned: "No?"
As they were talking, Ran Xiaoyu came over to the bedside. Nan Yan looked up at her, knowing that she had also heard what Nian Qiu had just said, so she said, "Xiaoyu, what do you think?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu was silent for a while, then said softly, "How could it be so 'just right'?"
Nian Qiu's expression became increasingly shocked: "Did she do this on purpose? But Madam, how did you know?"
Nan Yan didn't answer her, but continued to look at Ran Xiaoyu. Ran Xiaoyu said, "You just said that her bracelet broke, and the beads fell to the ground and caused everyone around Concubine Ning to slip. What kind of bracelet was that?"
Nian Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Sandalwood bead bracelet."
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "Have you ever noticed what bracelet Concubine Ning has been wearing on her wrist since you entered the palace?"
"this--"
Nian Qiu thought about it and shook her head: "I really haven't noticed it."
"It's a bracelet made of coral beads."
Having said that, Ran Xiaoyu glanced at Nan Yan and felt that although her face was calm and she still maintained that half-smile, as if watching a play, there was still a faint light flashing in the depths of her eyes.
She continued, "Ever since the Emperor bestowed those bracelets upon the concubines in the harem, they have all been wearing them, especially her. She treats them like treasures and rarely ever takes them off."
“…”
"Why did it suddenly become a sandalwood bead bracelet this time?"
Nian Qiu suddenly realized and said, "She, she deliberately wanted to harm Concubine Ning, but she couldn't bear to part with her coral bead bracelet, so she replaced it with a sandalwood bead bracelet."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Besides, coral beads are much smaller. If they fall to the ground, people will just step on them. It's unlikely that people will slip. But sandalwood beads are different. They are so big that it would be strange if people didn't slip when they stepped on them."
"So that's how it is."
Nian Qiu nodded, then shuddered again and whispered, "These people are truly terrifying."
Although she was always by the side of the Imperial Concubine, and logically, she was at the center of the storm of the harem struggles, Nan Yan had hardly ever competed for favor. The only few times she was in danger, she was either not there or had Aunt Tongyun and Ran Xiaoyu to protect her. Therefore, she didn't know much about these things.
At this time, his face turned pale with fright.
Ran Xiaoyu said calmly: "When you follow the Imperial Concubine, such things are inevitable. You must be more careful in the future."
Nian Qiu nodded obediently: "Sister Xiaoyu, I understand."
After saying that, she went downstairs to get busy.
Ran Xiaoyu turned around and saw Nan Yan sitting on the bed, looking at her with a smile, so she asked, "What are you laughing at, Madam?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I think you have changed a lot recently."
“…”
“I’m calmer and more thoughtful in doing things.”
“…”
"That's good."
Ran Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, but didn't respond. A flicker of sadness between her brows made her heart ache. Without waiting for Nan Yan to say anything, she picked up the medicine bowl, tested the temperature, and said, "It's almost done, Madam. Drink the medicine now. Any later—Aunt Tongyun will be here."
"Um."
Normally, when Nan Yan was asked to take medicine, she would refuse and would even pour the medicine down the sink, but this time, she drank it all obediently.
But as soon as he finished drinking, his face wrinkled.
At this moment, Aunt Tongyun walked in from outside. Seeing her wrinkled eyes and nose after drinking the medicine, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Highness, you know it's uncomfortable to drink the medicine now. You went out to get some fresh air two days ago. If this continues, you have to drink the medicine again!"
Nan Yan stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "Okay, Auntie complains every day, don't I already know I'm wrong?"
As he said this, he handed the empty bowl of medicine to Ran Xiaoyu.
Ran Xiaoyu took out another handkerchief and wiped her mouth. After wiping it twice, she couldn't help coughing again. Aunt Tongyun hurried forward to pat her back and said, "Why are you still coughing?"
Nan Yan coughed several times before she caught her breath.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he smiled bitterly, "Illness comes like a mountain falling, and it goes away like a thread being pulled out. Isn't that what you always say, Auntie?"
Aunt Tongyun was stunned and started laughing.
Said: "Yes, I am confused."
She poured another cup of tea for Nan Yan and said, "Your Majesty, please rinse your mouth again. The aconite soup is very spicy. Don't lose your appetite later."
"……Why."
Nan Yan obediently rinsed her mouth and then lay down to rest.

In this way, the harem was quiet for several days.
However, Feng Qianyan's stomach was not feeling very stable.
She started having pregnancy reactions when she was four months pregnant. At first, she just felt a little nauseous, but by the fifth month, she was vomiting almost every day.
I had no appetite and lost a lot of weight.
So, the people from the Imperial Hospital asked her to eat less hawthorn cake to stimulate her appetite, but after eating it, she had a strong reaction again and her abdomen felt very tight. Worried about problems, she gritted her teeth and gave up eating hawthorn cake, but even so, her stomach was still uneasy.
That day, she was sitting on the couch again when the little palace maid Qin'er came in with a tray with a bowl of medicine on it.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Pharmacy has delivered the pregnancy-maintaining medicine."
As she spoke, she put the bowl on the table and opened the lid. A bitter smell came with the steaming hot air. As soon as she smelled it, Feng Qianyan covered her nose in disgust.
Qin Er held it in front of her and said, "My Lady, drink it while it's hot."
"What the hell is this? It's so disgusting yet you make me drink it every day, and it doesn't seem to do anything for me. The people in the Imperial Hospital are all idiots!"
Qin'er didn't dare to speak, she could only kneel on the ground and hold the medicine bowl in front of her.
Although she complained, Feng Qianyan still picked it up and drank it.
The medicine tasted so bitter and acrid that it made her nauseous. After drinking it, she threw the bowl onto the tray and said, "Hurry up and bring me some tea to rinse my mouth!"
"Yes, yes."
Qin'er hurriedly turned around to pour tea. After rinsing her mouth, she threw the bowl on the table.
He snorted angrily, "A bunch of useless things."
Qin'er said carefully: "Don't be angry, Madam. The pregnancy-maintaining medicine is for you to have a healthy pregnancy. As long as you rest well, you will be fine."
As he was speaking, Hanxiang walked in from outside.
"Greetings, Madam."
When Feng Qianyan saw her, she noticed that her expression was a little strange, and asked, "What were you doing out for so long?"
Hanxiang rolled her eyes and leaned close to her ear and said, "Your Majesty, haven't you been complaining all the time? The Emperor hasn't come to see you these days. I just went out to inquire about it."
Feng Qianyan frowned.
"Your Majesty, hasn't he been in the imperial study?"
