Chapter 136 Why bring shame upon yourself?
Ran Xiaoyu's face froze slightly, and she tilted her head to the side and said, "Don't say such cheesy words."
Nan Yan smiled again, then said, "It's not that I don't want to seek justice from him—of course, I really don't want to, because I know it's useless."
"Why?"
"How many thefts and deaths occur every day? Does the Emperor intend to deal with them one by one?"
“…”
"Then the emperor is no longer an emperor, but a constable."
“…”
"Besides, the harem and the imperial court were originally separate. Only when the Empress is in charge of the harem can the Emperor focus on managing the imperial court and governing the country. The things he faces now are all major events. How could we possibly alarm him over such a trivial matter in the harem?"
“…”
"Even the Queen didn't tell you. If you go and cry out for justice, you'll only lose your life."
Ran Xiaoyu frowned and said, "But this is not a trivial matter. This concerns your life."
“…”
"Doesn't he care?"
Nan Yan was silent for a long moment, then said softly, "In his eyes, we are nothing more than lowly slaves. Why should we humiliate ourselves?"
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her and said after a while: "I find that you are not only cunning, but also very stubborn."
Nan Yan smiled gently and lowered her head.
At this time, the nanny outside came in and said, "Why haven't you finished talking yet? If someone comes to investigate, you will be dead. Come out now."
Ran Xiaoyu stood up reluctantly, especially looking at the wound at the corner of Nan Yan's mouth, and whispered: "You - can you really do it?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry."
After saying that, he let go of her hand.
Ran Xiaoyu walked out, looking back every few steps, but did not return to her residence immediately. Instead, she walked around the palace unconsciously.
At this time, it was already evening.
The setting sun shone obliquely on the fiery red palace walls, like a burning flame, scorching her and making her sweat all over. When she raised her head, she found that she had walked to the outside of the Queen's Yonghe Palace. She saw Eunuch Yu and others serving inside.
It seems that the emperor has come here to have dinner.
She hesitated and stood at the door, but at this moment, the young eunuch Xiao Shunzi came over and saw her standing at the door. He immediately said, "Hey, which palace are you from? Don't stand here blocking the door. If the emperor comes out and sees you like this, I'll be surprised if he doesn't beat you."
Xiaoyu looked at him silently, said nothing, and turned away.
Xiao Shunzi looked at her back curiously, then walked inside. When he entered Yonghe Palace, the food was already on the table, and Zhu Feng and Xu Miaoyin were both seated.
Xu Miaoyin looked at Zhu Feng and said softly, "Your Majesty has lost a lot of weight these days. He should eat more tonic food."
Zhu Feng rubbed his brow with one hand and said "hmm" lightly.
Xu Miaoyin waved her hand, and the palace maid Bihe immediately came up with a bowl of soup. Xu Miaoyin took it and held it in front of Zhu Feng personally.
Zhu Feng loosened his hand from rubbing his brow, and when he lowered his head, he saw a string of bright red coral beads hanging on Xu Miaoyin's delicate hands. He was slightly stunned. Xu Miaoyin also lowered her head to take a look and said with a smile, "This was given to the harem by the emperor a few days ago. How could the emperor forget it?"
Zhu Feng took the bowl of soup and said, "I just remembered when I saw it that Ye Zheng did all this."
Then he said, "I just remembered one thing."
"What's up?"
"I will be leaving for Yongzhou the day after tomorrow. This time, I plan to let Si Nanyan go with me."
