Chapter 2378 Just like last time
Nan Yan's eyes were cold.
He said, "Perhaps Xinping accidentally discovered a secret, a secret that implicates the murderer's life. In this case, the other party must kill her!"
Hearing this, Ran Xiaoyu's heart sank.
secret?
She said subconsciously: "Just like, just like the last time, she accidentally saw Feng performing the moxa burning ritual in the palace."
Nan Yan said: "Maybe so."
Ran Xiaoyu frowned and said, "But last time, Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't know that the other party was practicing a taboo, so she didn't say anything. It was only when she saw the needle being used on the night of Feng's delivery that she accidentally revealed it. And this time—"
"This time, she didn't say anything."
Nan Yan said solemnly, "She is still young and only has a vague understanding of many things."
“…”
"Perhaps she saw the other person's secret, but thought it was just an ordinary thing, so she didn't take it seriously. But the other person was worried that she would accidentally leak the secret, just like what happened to Feng last time, and it would bring disaster upon herself."
“…”
"So, in order to silence them, the other party simply ended it all."
Ran Xiaoyu's face became even uglier.
She thought for a long time and said through gritted teeth, "But, what did Your Highness see?"
“…”
"She hasn't had any strange reactions in the past few days."
“…”
"He didn't tell us anything."
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
In her recollection, Xinping did not behave in any unusual manner and did not say anything strange.
However, this is the only possibility I can think of right now.
She frowned and thought for a while, then said to Ran Xiaoyu: "Go to the Imperial Pharmacy to get the medicine. I need to think about it for a while. Remember, this matter must not be known to other people. Even if -"
When she said this, her eyes flickered slightly.
"Even if it's someone else around me."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu was stunned.
What Nan Yan meant by this is that she wants to hide the truth from Aunt Tongyun, Lian Nianqiu, Ruoshui, and Tingfu as well?
She hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "I understand."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After she left, Nan Yan was still standing by the window. After a while, she heard footsteps behind her. It was Xue Yun who walked up behind her and whispered, "My Lady."
"Doctor Xue."
Nan Yan glanced at her, then looked at Xin Ping on the bed: "How is she?"
"The fever has subsided temporarily."
"That's good."
"However, Her Royal Highness is still young, and the accumulated cold may not dissipate so easily. This fever may recur. I will stay here. If Your Majesty needs me, please summon me at any time."
Nan Yan nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll have someone go to the side hall to clean up for you, and you can stay there temporarily."
"Thank you very much."
After Xue Yun finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
But when she reached the door, she hesitated for a moment, then turned back and watched Nan Yan walk to the bedside. Her red eyes were full of tears as she stared at her daughter on the bed. She thought about it and walked back.
He whispered, "My Lady."
"Um?"
Nan Yan turned around and saw that she had not left yet, but was standing beside her, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Nan Yan frowned slightly and said, "Do you have something to say to me?"
Xue Yun said awkwardly, "This may be because I am being too nosy. However, I still want to tell your Majesty something."
Nan Yan looked up at her and said calmly, "Just say what you want to say."
Xue Yun said, "The wound on the back of Her Royal Highness's neck proves that someone is trying to murder her. Furthermore, it's not just a matter of making her sick; they probably want to take her life."
Nan Yan nodded: "Yeah."
"So, the other party must have used all their strength to push the princess into the water and suffocate her to death."
"good."
"However, the opponent used all his strength, but the princess' bones remained undamaged."
"Um?"
Nan Yan was stunned and looked at her with wide eyes: "You mean——"
Xue Yun said, "The princess is young, her bones are fragile, and her joints haven't fully grown yet. If a strong man, or an ordinary adult man, pinched her neck hard, it would cause her cervical vertebrae to break."
“…”
"Even a woman like Miss Xiaoyu, who has practiced martial arts, may be able to reach this level."
“…”
"But now, Her Royal Highness's life is safe."
“…”
"I just checked it myself. Apart from the subcutaneous bruising, the princess's cervical vertebrae are not injured."
Nan Yan said: "In other words, the one who hurt her was a woman."
Xue Yun said: "Besides, she is a pampered woman who has rarely done heavy work."
“…”
Nan Yan's eyes flickered.
In this way, all eunuchs are excluded, and even some palace maids who do menial work can be excluded.
Then what is left in the harem is——
Concubine!
Could it be that, as Ran Xiaoyu guessed, Xinping accidentally discovered the secret of a concubine, just like last time, but this time, the other party knew that she had seen it, so she was retaliated against?
She nodded and said, "I understand. You can go down and rest."
Only then did Xue Yun turn around and leave.
Although Xinping's fever temporarily subsided, as Xue Yun said, the fever started to recur during the day.
She hadn't rested for a while before Nan Yan called her over again.
Fortunately, this time, it was just a low-grade fever.
Just like last night, I soaked a handkerchief in cold water and applied it to Xinping's forehead, wiped his hands and feet, and then drank half a bowl of medicine. Finally, the temperature dropped again.
Nan Yan stayed by the bed.
Xue Yun looked at her bloodshot eyes, afraid that she had not slept all night, and whispered: "My Lady, you still need to divorce..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard heavy footsteps.
Looking back, Zhu Feng walked in from outside.
"Nan Yan!"
Xue Yun was startled and immediately stepped aside, lowering his head: "Your humble servant greets the emperor."
Zhu Feng just glanced at her without saying anything, and walked straight to the bed. Nan Yan tried to stand up, but because she had been squatting for too long, her legs were sore and she fell back.
Zhu Feng grabbed her.
Then he said, "Xinping has a fever, why didn't you tell me?"
Nan Yan said: "Your Majesty...know?"
"If I hadn't asked them, I wouldn't know."
"I was thinking that Doctor Xue could handle it anyway, and I didn't want to disturb the Emperor."
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath.
He reached out and touched his daughter's face. Fortunately, he felt that the heat had subsided. He breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "From now on, you are not allowed to hide such things from me!"
Nan Yan looked up at him.
Suddenly, a tear welled up in my eyes.
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng seemed to sense something and immediately leaned over and asked, "What happened?"
