Chapter 1271: Silencing!
Nan Yan felt like she was suffocating.
"What happened?"
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her and said with some difficulty: "It's - it's about Jian Ruocheng."
"Second Master Jian?!"
When Nan Yan heard Jian Ruocheng's name, her whole body trembled.
She suddenly remembered that she had not received any news from him since she woke up, and she was only thinking about Zhu Feng and had forgotten about him.
He was a teacher at Zhujian Academy and went to the ceremony to offer a eulogy. Now something like that happened suddenly, and he also protected himself in the fire. What would happen to him?
When mentioning this, Ran Xiaoyu felt heavy in her heart.
She said in a deep voice, "Actually, I heard about him last night, but I was afraid that you would worry, so I didn't tell you."
Nan Yan asked anxiously: "What happened to him?!"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "His back was severely burned."
"What?!"
When Nan Yan heard the news, she was shocked.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "In fact, it wasn't long after you fainted, Madam, that he passed out. Before that, he was holding on."
“…”
"And, to this day, he is still in a coma."
“…”
Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide.
It was not until this moment that she recalled that when the Chong'en Tower was on fire, the top of the tower collapsed, causing the flames to spray everywhere. At that time, she was almost burned, but Jian Ruocheng rushed to her first and held her in his arms.
Looking back now, the flames must have burned his back.
But at that time, he didn't show any expression of being hurt at all, and he was only thinking about Zhu Feng in the tower, so he completely ignored him.
I didn't expect him to——
Nan Yan's heart was filled with pain and guilt, her eyes were red: "He, he——"
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly held her hand. In such hot weather, she could feel her fingertips were cold and even trembling slightly. She hurriedly said, "My Lady, don't think too much. This—this is not your fault."
"This is my fault."
Nan Yan said painfully: "If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have suffered so much."
“…”
However, she did not fall into such pain and could not extricate herself. Instead, she immediately looked at Ran Xiaoyu and said, "So, what news did you find out when you went out just now? Did he have any accidents?"
Ran Xiaoyu's expression became more serious.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's Concubine Kang, and Concubine Kang and the others."
"They?" Nan Yan's brows knitted together when she heard the names of these two people. "What are they going to do?"
Ran Xiaoyu said, "They said that since the Imperial Concubine has been punished, then the traitor Jian Ruocheng who misbehaved with the Imperial Concubine and conspired to harm the Emperor must not be forgiven!"
"What?"
"After Jian Ruocheng was injured, he was originally sent to the palace and placed under house arrest. The imperial physician was also asked to see him in an attempt to sober him up, but now—"
"How are you now?"
"Now, they've directly pinned the crime of murdering the emperor on him, saying he's a traitor who tried to assassinate the emperor, and they want—they want to kill him!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing the news, Nan Yan was completely stunned. With a pale face, she stood up from the bed and said, "They want to kill him?!"
Seeing her like this, Ran Xiaoyu also stood up and grabbed her hands even tighter.
"My Lady, please don't be anxious..."
"How can I not be anxious?!"
Nan Yan's eyes turned red and her whole body was shaking.
Jian Ruocheng, they actually want to kill Jian Ruocheng!
Even if he was a teacher at Zhujian Academy; even if he had spread rumors that were unfavorable to the emperor; even if he might even have some connection with the mastermind behind the scenes.
But Nan Yan believed that he was definitely not the mastermind behind this assassination!
She could even feel that he had made the right choice when he was chanting the eulogy under the Chong'en Tower.
I just didn't expect——
A huge fire burned everything beyond recognition!
Nan Yan shook her head and murmured, "No, absolutely not!"
“…”
"He can't die, they can't kill him!"
“…”
"I can't let them do this to him!"
After she finished speaking, she hurried out. Ran Xiaoyu was frightened and shouted, "My Lady, don't be impulsive!"
However, Nan Yan could no longer hear what she said.
Jian Ruocheng, Jian Ruocheng!
Now, all that came to Nan Yan's mind was that handsome face, his bright and elegant temperament, and the painful and contradictory expression he had when he faced her again.
He has experienced too much suffering.
Absolutely not, let them kill him!
Nan Yan had only this obsession in her mind. She waved away Ran Xiaoyu's hand and turned around to rush out.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she felt the scorching sun above her head, as if a fire was burning directly on her body. Nan Yan felt dizzy for a moment and her eyes went blank.
She couldn't help but stagger.
"Empress!"
Ran Xiaoyu rushed over and supported her: "My lady, please be careful, you are still pregnant--"
"Xiaoyu, stop talking!"
She swayed for a moment, finally managed to hold onto Ran Xiaoyu's hand and barely stood steady. She immediately gritted her teeth, staring at the scorching sun above her head and walked out: "We have to hurry, we can't let him get killed!"
“…”
"Whether it's for him or for—"
Speaking of this, Ran Xiaoyu's eyes were also stern.
She said, "Madam, you mean—"
Nan Yan looked back at her, her face was red from the sun, but there was not a drop of sweat on her face, because at this moment, her insides were cold.
She said: "There are still some unsolved mysteries about him."
“…”
"If the mastermind behind this didn't want to rescue him, he would definitely want to kill him and silence him."
“…”
"I can't let this happen!"
“……!”
Ran Xiaoyu suddenly understood.
But she was still worried: "But my lady, you——"
Nan Yan turned her head and looked forward, saying, "At this time, we can no longer rely on others."
“…”
"Walk!"
After saying that, she continued walking forward without looking back.
Seeing her determination, Ran Xiaoyu had no choice but to rush over and support her, fearing that she might get into an accident.
The two people hurriedly walked out of the cold palace gate.
But just after the two of them left the cold palace, under the scorching sun, behind a dense cluster of flowers, several pairs of eyes were looking coldly at their backs, with a hint of sinister smile on the corners of their mouths.
"She really did go. Our Imperial Concubine is truly a woman of love and righteousness."
The one who spoke was Wu Wan.
Gao Yurong, standing beside her, also sneered, "If she wasn't so loyal and righteous, how could Your Majesty have such an opportunity?"
After saying that, she turned around and looked at Feng Qianyan, who was standing on the other side, silent and with a cold gaze.
"Kangpin, what are you thinking about?"
