Chapter 1985 The Queen is Unique
Thinking of this, Ran Xiaoyu's heart suddenly moved slightly, and her brows frowned.
They are so similar...
Feeling that Ran Xiaoyu's breathing seemed to have become heavier, Nan Yan raised her head and looked at her. Seeing that she had a serious expression on her face, she grabbed her hand and shook it gently.
"Xiaoyu."
“…”
"Xiaoyu!"
"Um?"
Ran Xiaoyu suddenly woke up and saw Nan Yan looking at her: "What are you thinking about?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, not wanting to express her worries directly. After thinking it over again and again, she just smiled and said, "It's just like that, but the queen is unique."
After saying that, he added another sentence: "Especially, in the eyes of the emperor, right."
“…”
This sentence originally sounded like the flattery of those little palace maids and eunuchs. Of course, those flattery words were only more disgusting. Nan Yan heard a lot of them in her daily life, but she didn't expect to hear it from Ran Xiaoyu's mouth.
But, because it came from her mouth, it sounded a bit strange.
Nan Yan glanced at her.
There seemed to be ripples in Xiaoyu's clear eyes.
Nan Yan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Why bother talking about this?"
Ran Xiaoyu also smiled.
Nan Yan added, "We're leaving the day after tomorrow. Tell Tong Yun and the others to pick up everything that needs to be collected."
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Don't worry, Madam. I have already packed up some of the valuables that are not often used."
"Um."
"As long as you use these things frequently, it won't be too late to pack them up on the day you leave. The Emperor has spoken, and you must not let the Empress suffer any injustice."
Hearing this, Nan Yan smiled again.

By the next day, the entire Duwei Mansion was bustling with activity.
The emperor was about to set off for Beijing, so naturally we dared not delay.
Zhu Feng had been reviewing memorials for the entire morning and finally had some free time. Xiao Shunzi quickly brought him some hot tea and said, "Your Majesty has been tired for so long. Why not go out for a walk and relax?"
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go."
He took Xiao Shunzi out. Xiao Shunzi originally thought that he was going to see the imperial concubine, but unexpectedly, he walked outside the west wing.
But the door to Xue Yun's room was closed.
Zhu Feng couldn't help but frown and asked, "Where are the others?"
Someone else immediately replied, "He just went out."
"Where did you go?"
“…”
The people around looked at each other, their faces revealing a cowardly expression, and no one dared to speak. Zhu Feng frowned again: "What's going on?!"
At this time, only Xiao Shunzi dared to speak.
He took a step forward and said cautiously, "I heard that this Master Xue, he—he went to see the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
After saying this, everyone held their breath.
Everyone knew that concubines in the harem were not allowed to see outsiders easily, even if they were relatives. They had to report to the emperor and get his permission before seeing him. Of course, this time the imperial concubine followed the emperor to the northwest, and the rules were not as strict as they were in the harem.
However, it is indeed against the rules to meet a man so casually.
Everyone was afraid that the emperor would get furious.
So, no one dared to say a word.
Unexpectedly, the emperor did not get angry. He just raised his eyebrows slightly, was silent for a moment, and said, "Go and take a look."
“…”
Xiao Shunzi was a little stunned.
However, he didn't dare to say much and hurriedly followed Zhu Feng to the imperial concubine's residence.
After a while, they arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
From a distance, he heard a burst of laughter coming from inside. Zhu Feng stopped and looked not far away. It was Nan Yan and Xue Yun sitting at a stone table under a tree in the yard. Ran Xiaoyu and others were serving them, and there were refreshments on the table.
It seems like they are drinking tea and talking.
The two of them talked while looking at the scenery in the yard, and they seemed to be in harmony.
Zhu Feng's eyes darkened a little.
Xiao Shunzi was waiting on the side and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, do you want me to go over?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "No need to disturb them."
"……yes."
At this moment, Nan Yan and Xue Yun in the courtyard were indeed having a very pleasant conversation.
Xue Yun took a special look and saw that all the fruits under the tree had been thrown away. Even the dust in the corners of the yard and the fallen leaves in the flower beds had been swept away.
So he smiled and said, "Madam, cleaning up this courtyard really makes people feel refreshed."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's a pity that I have to leave tomorrow. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, I won't be able to enjoy it for long."
Xue Yun asked, "Your Majesty, are you ready for tomorrow's departure?"
Aunt Tongyun, who was serving beside her, said at this time, "The Queen's luggage has been packed, and even the medicines for the journey have been prepared. I am only worried that the weather will change or the road will be bumpy, which will affect the fetus."
Xue Yun hurriedly asked, "Is your Majesty still suffering from morning sickness these days?"
Nan Yan shook her head: "No."
“…”
"Only when I eat something greasy will I feel nauseous, but I don't vomit."
Xue Yun smiled and said, "It's rare that your Majesty is pregnant and has a good appetite. However, you should be careful about what you eat. You really can't eat too much greasy food."
“…”
"There are actually many reasons for morning sickness in pregnant women."
"oh?"
"Sometimes, it's also related to the pregnant woman's mood, emotions, and even the food and smells she eats, like before—"
At this point, she paused, then smiled and said, "Of course, a long journey to the capital like this one will inevitably have some bumps along the way. Your Majesty must also take care to rest."
After saying that, she took a package from her hand.
"This is the incense I brought for the Queen."
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned and winked at Aunt Tongyun. Aunt Tongyun took it, sniffed it through the paper wrapper, and immediately said, "Hmm."
Nan Yan asked, "What?"
Aunt Tongyun said in surprise, "These are Atractylodes macrocephala, Cuscuta chinensis, Dipsacus root, Morus alba, and Cornus officinalis, but the smell is very light, as if they have been processed."
Xue Yun smiled and said, "This lady official is right."
She said to Nan Yan, "These medicines are commonly used to support pregnancy, but they need to be boiled and taken on the road, which is too troublesome. I have found a way to make these medicines into incense. Your Majesty can light these incense on the road to nourish the fetus. Although it may not be of great use, it will at least be a little help."
She spoke modestly, but Nan Yan knew that since she could bring it to her, it must be something good.
So he smiled and said, "Mr. Xue is thoughtful."
Xue Yun just smiled and said, "I have received the emperor's grace and will be serving in the Imperial Hospital. This can be considered as fulfilling my duties in advance."
The two talked for a while.
Xue Yun stood up and said goodbye.
She left Nan Yan's courtyard and was walking out with her head down when suddenly, she bumped into someone in front of her. She looked up and her heart skipped a beat.
The person standing in front of her was Zhu Feng!
"emperor……"
