Chapter 1372 A Conspiratorial Smile
Gao Yurong was silent for a while.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "My Queen, besides us, no one else would want to see her belly get bigger, right?"
Wu Wan was moved by what she said: "You mean——"
"Empress Ning..."
Gao Yurong said slowly, "She's probably dreamed of getting this title back, but she didn't get it this time. Not only did the Emperor not take her south to Nanjing, but he also gave the title of Concubine Ning to someone else. How could she not have any thoughts in her mind?"
“…”
"Besides, now that Concubine Ning is pregnant with a dragon seed, if she really gives birth to a prince, who will be the most affected?"
"You mean—"
Gao Yurong sneered and said, "Your Majesty has now been promoted to Consort Hui. After all, you hold a high position and power, so you can no longer take risks lightly. Things like this should be left to those unimportant minor figures."
“…”
"That way, even if something happens, it won't be traced back to us."
Wu Wan smiled and nodded, saying, "You're right."
“…”
"I'll leave this matter to you. Remember what you said, no matter what happens, it can't be traced back to me."
"Of course."
The two people smiled at each other. It was gloomy outside, and only a faint light shone through the gap in the window onto their faces, making their conspiratorial smiles look even more hideous.

Nan Yan looked up at the dark clouds outside the window.
On the road, the most difficult part was the continuous rain. After returning to the capital, although the weather was bad with dark clouds every day, it didn't rain much.
But even so, she didn't feel any more relaxed.
She still hasn't figured out a solution to the matter of the Cabinet Treasury. After all, she is now in the cold palace and cannot enter or leave as she pleases, and she is even farther away from the Cabinet Treasury.
Also, there is the matter of Ye Zheng and Xiaoyu.
Seeing the girl getting thinner and more haggard day by day, she more or less understood the torment in her heart, but she was just being stubborn and refused to say it out loud. So, she wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Ye Zheng, even if not for her own affairs, but for Ran Xiaoyu, to make things clear to both of them.
But——
Every day, there were eunuchs who delivered their daily necessities on time and in quantity, but Ye Zheng never showed up again.
It seems that my guess was correct.
After that incident, he had given up on Ran Xiaoyu, and now, only some feelings remained.
Thinking of this, she sighed.
I leaned against the window and reached out to try to catch the rain, but there was only the cold wind blowing past my fingertips, not even a drop of rain.
At this moment, Aunt Tongyun came in from outside holding two quilts.
"My lady, you're like this again. I'm worried you'll catch a cold."
"I'm fine,"
Nan Yan smiled, moved her fingertips, and said with some disappointment: "I just checked to see if it was raining. It seems that it is still not raining."
Aunt Tongyun put the quilt on the bed, then took a piece of clothing and came over to cover her with it. She said, "Your Highness, why are you always looking forward to rain? You are so weak now. If it really rains, the weather will get colder, which will be bad for your health."
Nan Yan smiled and didn't respond.
Of course, she also knew that her health had deteriorated after the miscarriage, especially after rolling around in the mud on the way, which caused her to suffer from some serious illnesses. Aunt Tongyun was well versed in pharmacology and had been nursing her, but the cold palace was not as good as the outside world after all, so the effect was minimal.
Nan Yan looked at the bed: "This quilt is——"
