Chapter 2385: What the Queen Means is——
Nan Yan's eyes flashed.
She asked softly, "My Lady, are you investigating the Princess's affairs?"
“…”
"It's on Lord Liu. Any clues?"
Nan Yan was silent for a while.
Then he said coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with you."
“…”
"I still say the same thing. Xinping's injuries must not be known to others. As for the others, I don't want anyone to spread nonsense and let everyone know."
Xue Yun's hands trembled, and he immediately said, "Yes, I understand."
Nan Yan said, "Do your thing."
After saying that, he turned around and sat aside.
In the past, when the queen was still alive, although she was very powerful and had the right to assist in managing the six palaces, she had few opportunities to exercise her power. To everyone, she was just a "favored concubine" who pleased the emperor.
But now, Queen Renxiao has passed away, and the entire harem is her world.
The rewards and punishments, life and death of countless people all depend on her thoughts.
The innocence of a young girl and the charm of a favorite concubine gradually faded from her eyes and body, and were increasingly filled with an aura of oppression bestowed by power.
Even if Xue Yun didn't look back, he could feel her gaze on his back as if it was burning.
She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
After finally dealing with Xinping's affairs, she didn't dare to stay any longer. She came over to say something to Nanyan and left in a hurry.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her back and then looked at Nan Yan.
She naturally knew in her heart that although the emperor and the imperial concubine had reconciled after the previous incident, the imperial concubine still had a thorn in her heart towards Xue Yun.
Using her is one thing.
The attitude towards her is another matter.
She didn't say much, but seeing that it was getting late, she prepared to go out to serve the meal. As soon as she walked out, she saw Nian Qiu walk in.
She asked, "What's the matter?"
Nian Qiu said, "Sister Xiaoyu, it's getting late. It's time for dinner. Your Majesty hasn't had a proper meal in the past two days."
Ran Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You are really thoughtful. Go to the imperial kitchen and serve the meal."
"Why."
Nian Qiu agreed and went to the imperial kitchen.
Ran Xiaoyu turned around and walked back to Nan Yan, but saw her staring out the gate in a daze, as if she was thinking about something.
He asked softly, "My Lady, what are you thinking about?"
“…”
Nan Yan's eyes were still looking outside.
After a long while, he slowly said, "I've been thinking that sometimes, we can't just investigate alone. We still have to have people bring some clues to our door."
"Send clues to your door?"
"Um."
"W-what do you mean?"
Ran Xiaoyu didn't quite understand.
Nan Yan said, "We only thought about investigating this matter, but forgot that the other party should also be trying hard to cover it up."
“…”
"Perhaps, we can find a way to make the other party move. Once they move, we can see the flaws."
“…”
"Or maybe—there is no impenetrable wall in this world."
“…”
"If there really was a concubine who secretly had an affair with someone else, even Xinping would accidentally see it, so it's not impossible that others didn't know about it."
“…”
"Now that I know, I'm sure you'll send it to me to claim credit for it."
“…”
"It just depends on whether this achievement is enough to make people ask for it."
Ran Xiaoyu thought for a while, a light flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "What the Queen means is——"
