Chapter 3154: Extremely clever and decisive
When the name "Noble Concubine Qin" was mentioned, Su Ma's face showed an even more frightened expression.
She looked at Nan Yan for a long moment, then said with a complicated expression, "Your Majesty, why are you suddenly asking about Concubine Qin?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Just think of it as my curiosity."
"curious?"
Nanny Su smiled bitterly and said, "For so many years, no one dared to be curious about her."
When she talked about Concubine Qin, she actually used the word "dare". It can be seen that this person and the things that happened to her have been taboos and cannot be mentioned for a long time.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I probably know that the Emperor Gao's concubine is of extraordinary origin, and matters concerning her have become a taboo in the palace, and you are not allowed to mention them. However, the world has changed now."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Su's expression changed.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I have the Emperor's protection, so what is there that I wouldn't dare to do?"
Nanny Su glanced at her with a complicated expression, then said softly, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying you've violated any taboos. It's just—it's just that, as Your Majesty said, this is already a taboo, and it hasn't been mentioned for so many years. I'm not used to hearing anyone mention this former master."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "No one else mentioned it, but you must have thought about it quite a lot, right?"
Nanny Su smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is truly a person of crystal heart and glass. Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
After saying that, she looked at Nan Yan again.
Speaking of which, the two of them have known each other for many years. Although they don't spend much time together, most of the time, Nanny Su stands on Qin Ruolan's side. However, she must be familiar with this imperial concubine.
But the look she gave Nan Yan just now was as if she had gotten to know her all over again, or as if she had seen something from Nan Yan. After that look, her expression seemed a little dazed.
Nan Yan didn't ask her anything else and just let her fall into deep thought.
After a while, perhaps realizing that it was presumptuous to be lost in thought in front of the Imperial Concubine, Nanny Su raised her head and carefully glanced at Nan Yan. She saw that she was looking at her with great interest. Nanny Su thought for a moment and said, "I also heard that the Emperor recaptured the people from Xingluo Lake this time, and the Empress performed a great service. She even went into Xingluo Lake in person to meet—to meet Luo Xingwen."
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
An old maid who had lived in the palace for many years actually knew something about Xingluo Lake and Luo Xingwen.
But if you think about it again, you will understand.
She was the old woman who served Concubine Qin back then. Since Concubine Qin was from Xingluo Lake and was even Luo Xingwen's sister, the people around her should know this to some extent.
So Nan Yan said calmly: "I did go deep into Tiangang Lianhuanwu and met Luo Xingwen."
When Nanny Su heard this, she wanted to say something anxiously.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he didn't say it out loud.
Nan Yan said, "He is old."
“…”
Upon hearing these three words, Nanny Su's originally hazy eyes became even more confused, as if a mist was spreading before her eyes. After a long moment, she sighed and said, "So many years have passed, and old friends have naturally grown old."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Nan Yan deeply again and said, "I didn't expect that Your Majesty would have such courage."
“…”
"Come to think of it, he is quite similar to my former master."
Hearing this, Nan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.
When they entered Tiangang Lianhuanwu and met Luo Xingwen before, they had said that Nan Yan's behavior was very similar to that of their adopted sister.
Nan Yan said, "This time when I entered Tiangang Lianhuanwu, I also heard a lot of rumors about your old master. Speaking of which, she is quite a powerful person."
Nanny Su nodded involuntarily: "Yes."
You know, normally when the imperial concubine is speaking, the servants are not allowed to interrupt without permission, but she didn't even wait for Nan Yan to finish speaking before interrupting to agree. It can be seen that her longing for her former master has never changed even after so many years.
Nan Yan said, "I heard that Emperor Gao and Luo Xingwen fought for the throne, a life-and-death struggle. In the end, it was through the mediation of this Imperial Concubine that the two sides were able to temporarily shake hands and make peace, and unite against the outside world. She is truly extraordinary."
"That's not all,"
Speaking of the past, the usually quiet Nanny Su became more talkative. Recalling Xiangxi, she smiled so much that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened. She slowly said, "Although at that time, both sides had planned to temporarily cease fire and face the outside world together, there were still people who were secretly plotting."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"He was one of Luo Xingwen's men at the time. He was considered Luo Xingwen's confidant, but because his brother had died at the hands of Emperor Gao, he refused to cease hostilities. However, Luo Xingwen had already been persuaded, and the two sides agreed on a location for negotiations at a restaurant. This man actually prepared a pot of poisoned wine, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to kill Emperor Gao."
Nan Yan's eyes widened: "What's the result?"
Nanny Su looked at her with curved eyes: "The Emperor Gao is naturally fine."
“…”
"It was the Imperial Concubine—my former mistress. She discovered this man's plot during the banquet. He put poisoned wine into the mandarin duck pot, hoping to do it without anyone noticing."
Nan Yan blinked: "That's it——"
"Yes, it is the one that this servant gave to the Majesty back then."
"oh……"
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
No wonder she always felt strange that an ordinary cold palace nanny would have such an exquisite thing in her hand, and it turned out to be obtained from that place.
Nanny Su continued, "My former master saw through his intentions and deliberately poured wine for Emperor Gao, Luo Xingwen, and that man. In the end, that man was poisoned to death by his own wine."
“…”
"After Luo Xingwen's death, everyone on the other side completely focused on the outside world and no longer had any other thoughts. Emperor Gao saw their sincerity and no longer had any suspicions. This allowed the two sides to cooperate sincerely."
Nan Yan nodded again and sighed, "Although Concubine Qin is a woman, she is extremely smart and decisive. She is a heroine who is no less heroic than any man."
"Extremely clever, decisive and decisive..."
Nanny Su repeated this sentence, then looked up at Nan Yan, her eyes looking even more confused.
As if he thought of something.
After a long time, she whispered, "Come to think of it, isn't the Imperial Concubine the same?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.
There was a sharp and cold light in her eyes, which was like a needle tip that could pierce into one's heart. Nanny Su shrank subconsciously when she saw her gaze.
Nan Yan said, "Madam, what you said seems to have a hidden meaning."
