Chapter 1741: At Least One More
"After all, there are so many cats and dogs in this world. How many of them can he remember?"
"you--"
Xue Ling was a girl after all, and after hearing such ridicule, she could no longer hold back. Her face flushed red, and she was so angry and anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "You—"
Even Xiao Shunzi standing by showed a look of shock.
Although he didn't know what was going on inside, he and Ran Xiaoyu were familiar with each other in the palace.
Ran Xiaoyu is a girl who always takes action and never yells at others.
He never imagined that Ran Xiaoyu's tongue was so sharp that she could make people speechless without even using her fists.
Really, I'm sorry...
At this time, Zhu Feng's voice came from the room.
"What's going on with all the noise outside?"
Ran Xiaoyu immediately said: "Your Majesty, someone who doesn't want to do it wants to come in."
"Unrelated people?"
"That's Xue Ling."
There was silence for a moment, and then Zhu Feng said, "It seems that she is also concerned about Ye Zheng. Let her come in and take a look."
Ran Xiaoyu glared at Xue Ling again, turned around and walked in without paying any attention to her.
Xue Ling wiped the corners of her eyes hastily, almost about to shed tears. At this moment, she could only force herself to walk in. She saw the emperor sitting beside the bed, the imperial concubine standing beside him, the person lying on the bed had several silver needles stuck in his body, and the imperial physician was serving him.
Xue Ling's heart sank.
She subconsciously glanced at Nan Yan, but saw Nan Yan calmly walk to the chair and sit down. Xue Ling was nervous, but she had already come in. Even if it was dangerous at this time, she had to bite the bullet and go ahead.
She walked forward and knelt before them, saying, "I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."
Zhu Feng glanced at her and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I, your humble daughter, care about Master Ye."
"oh?"
"Just now, I seemed to hear Lord Ye's voice, so I wanted to come and see."
"You are indeed thoughtful."
Zhu Feng only glanced at her, then turned to look at Ye Zheng, whose face was ashen on the bed, and said, "The imperial physician diagnosed that he was poisoned."
“……!”
Xue Ling's breath was choked.
She knelt on the ground, not daring to look up. She secretly glanced at Nan Yan from the corner of her eye. She saw Nan Yan sitting there calmly, her expression indifferent, as if with a hint of sadness. From that look, it was hard to tell whether she had said something or not.
Zhu Feng asked, "Do you know about this?"
“…”
Xue Ling swallowed hard, then said, "I... don't know."
"Really?"
"I am just an ordinary citizen. Lord Ye rescued me and brought me back to the Duwei Mansion. I only want to repay him for saving my life. As for the rest, I really don't know."
After saying this, Xue Ling held his breath.
It's not just because of fear.
I also want to listen to the breath of the people around me and see how they react.
However, it seemed that Ran Xiaoyu and Zhu Feng had no reaction. Only Nan Yan glanced at her out of the corner of her eyes. The ridicule in her eyes made Xue Ling tremble in her heart.
She immediately lowered her head.
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and said, "Well."
“…”
"Since you don't know, I won't ask any more questions. This isn't a place for you to be. Please leave."
"Your Majesty, Lord Ye—"
"He'll be all right soon."
"……yes."
Xue Ling stood up hesitantly, still feeling a little uneasy.
He subconsciously looked at Ran Xiaoyu again, but saw that the latter had been looking at him. When she saw that he was looking at her, she glared at him fiercely.
The look from that purely petty-minded woman actually made Xue Ling feel relieved.
At this time, Nan Yan stood up, holding the armrest of the chair and said, "Your Majesty, I am also a little tired. I will go back first."
"Well, your Highness hasn't had a good rest for half a day. Go back and rest for a while."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, Nan Yan bowed to Zhu Feng and turned to walk out.
When passing by Xue Ling, his eyes seemed to flicker.
Xue Ling also kowtowed to the emperor and left the room.
After they all left, Zhu Feng heard Ran Xiaoyu let out a long sigh. Turning around, he saw that her eyes were red again, staring at the empty door.
At that moment, I'm afraid she was trying her best to suppress the rage in her heart.
Zhu Feng said calmly: "You did a good job."
When Ran Xiaoyu heard this, the corners of her eyes turned red, but it was not anger, but an indescribable sadness.
She whispered, "I just hope he's okay."
Zhu Feng also turned to look at Ye Zheng lying on the bed. Seeing his face was livid and looked almost like a dead person, he said solemnly, "Of course he'll be fine."
“…”
"I won't let anything happen to him!"
On the other side, Xue Ling walked out of Ye Zheng's room and just closed the door. She turned around and saw Nan Yan walking slowly in front of her. She immediately followed her and walked behind Nan Yan, saying softly, "Your Highness..."
Nan Yan did not stop or look back.
Just walked forward slowly: "Why, worried?"
“…”
"Are you worried that I might tell others?"
“…”
Xue Ling lowered her head and followed her for a few steps. Then, thinking back to Ran Xiaoyu's attitude towards her, she said softly, "I am a humble girl... I worry too much."
“…”
"If the Queen had said so, Miss Xiaoyu would never have had that attitude."
"snort,"
Nan Yan sneered, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise. I'm afraid the woman I'm talking about is someone like you."
“…”
"Judge a gentleman by your own standards."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am just—just worried. After all, I am all alone in this Commander's Mansion. If anything goes wrong, I will die without a burial place."
Hearing this, Nan Yan turned and looked at her.
His eyes were cold and sarcastic, and he said with a smile: "Speaking of this, it really doesn't seem like someone who entered Shazhouwei alone, shot and injured the governor and the deputy governor, and even played tricks under the noses of the emperor and this palace."
Xue Ling lowered his head and said, "Your Highness...you are so kind."
So the two of them stopped talking.
They walked forward quietly for a long time. When they were about to part ways, Nan Yan turned around and looked at her, saying, "Xue Ling, that day, you said you didn't need any plans at all. That night was your plan."
"good."
"But that night, your plan failed."
“…”
"Is this the end?"
Xue Ling smiled and said, "Well, what does the Imperial Concubine think?"
Nan Yan looked into her eyes and said, "I think that man's character won't let him go so easily. He should at least have a backup plan."
