Chapter 1412 It seems that she is really determined
As usual, after Princess Xinping had been tossing and turning in her bedroom for half an hour, a look of fatigue appeared on Nan Yan's face, and Zhu Feng took her away.
After seeing off the emperor and princess, Ran Xiaoyu returned to her bedroom.
Seeing Nan Yan leaning against the bed, she immediately offered her a cup of hot tea and said softly, "Your Majesty has walked so far today and hasn't had a good rest yet. You just played with Her Royal Highness the Princess and you've been exhausted again."
"No problem."
Nan Yan took the teacup and smiled faintly: "Looking at her, I am no longer tired."
Ran Xiaoyu smiled and said, "With Her Royal Highness the Princess here, Your Majesty feels like she has taken an elixir."
"That's right."
The two chatted for a while, and Nan Yan drank some tea. Ran Xiaoyu took the teacup and whispered, "But, Your Majesty, did the Emperor notice anything just now?"
Nan Yan's silent eyes flickered slightly.
"You mean—"
"The Queen had an incident at the corner gate today."
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "It's not that he noticed it, but someone else must have said something to him."
"oh?"
"He went to visit the Empress today. I heard that most of the harem went to the Empress' place today. I think they were there to stop him. When they got together, what else could they say? Naturally, whoever was not there would become the topic of conversation."
"It's Concubine Ning and the others again!"
Ran Xiaoyu's face was filled with anger: "They really don't give the queen any free time."
Nan Yan smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter."
"But the Emperor, will he be suspicious of where the Empress is going?"
"He didn't say anything, it was just fine."
"But isn't your Majesty going to—"
"It's okay," Nan Yan said calmly, "Don't worry."
Although she said so, Ran Xiaoyu couldn't calm down at all. She couldn't understand how Nan Yan could be so confident about this matter.
You know, even if you have extraordinary skills, you can't completely guarantee that you won't be noticed when you do that thing.
However, even if the emperor is not anxious, the eunuchs will be anxious. No matter how anxious the palace maids are, it will be useless if the imperial concubine is not anxious too.
Seeing Nan Yan's indifferent look, she had no choice.
After making the bed for Nan Yan and helping her to sleep, Ran Xiaoyu also left.
However, Nan Yan did not close her eyes immediately. In the dark and spacious bedroom, she always felt particularly insignificant, especially when she was lying in bed at night, she felt that the dark sky outside was like a huge black hand that wanted to capture her.
I don’t know if that black hand was the haze in my heart or fate.
After an unknown amount of time, she sighed and closed her eyes.
In the middle of the night, there was a rustling sound outside.
Nan Yan was sleeping in a daze and didn't know what had happened. The next morning, a cool breeze blew through the quilt and she realized it was raining outside again.
Every autumn rain brings a chill.
At this time, you can already feel the footsteps of winter.
After Nan Yan finished her breakfast, she walked to the porch and watched a series of crystal raindrops dripping from the eaves, washing the bluestone slabs under her feet clean. Although she was wearing thick shoes, she could still feel the chill.
She couldn't help but reach out and catch a few drops of rain.
"Empress!"
Aunt Tongyun, who was behind him, immediately caught up and scolded him, "Why are you standing here in the wind again? Not only are you standing here, but you're also playing in the water?"
Nan Yan laughed dumbly: "Who's playing in the water?"
"Look at your hands. What if they are cold?"
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
Nan Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Ever since the last incident of changing the dressing, Aunt Tongyun has been treating her like a three-year-old child. She can't take one more step or eat one less bite.
Fortunately, Ran Xiaoyu took out a thick fox fur coat and put it on Nan Yan, saying, "Don't worry, auntie, I will take care of the queen."
This is what saved the day.
Aunt Tongyun muttered to herself and went back to work.
Nan Yan looked at her back and said with a wry smile, "I don't look like a concubine anymore. I look more like a laborer in the laundry department."
"What are you talking about, madam? Who dares to ask you to do hard labor?"
"Haha, I'm just kidding."
Ran Xiaoyu looked at Nan Yan's calm eyes. A few tiny raindrops floated onto her eyelashes, like condensed tears, but adding a bit of clarity and indifference.
She asked softly, "My Lady, are you still going out for a walk today?"
“…”
Nan Yan turned her head and looked at her.
"certainly."
“…”
"Of course I'll go."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu's heartbeat sank slightly.
She originally thought that the weather was bad today, so gloomy; she originally thought that the emperor's question yesterday showed that someone was watching her from behind; she originally thought that the relaxed chatting just now turned out to be the tense atmosphere of going to do something important... All these "originally" made her think that Nan Yan would not go today.
I didn’t expect it, but I still have to go.
It seems that she is really determined.
Thinking of this, Ran Xiaoyu's eyes showed another layer of worry and gloom - Nan Yan was not bad to her, and the two of them were already master and servant who had been through life and death together. What's more, Nan Yan did not treat her as a slave, but always treated her as a good sister, and the two of them could confide in each other about anything.
Only this time, Nan Yan told her that she was going to the cabinet warehouse to look for something, but she never made it clear what she was looking for.
He didn't even say why he wanted to go.
This is the reason why Ran Xiaoyu has been worried these days.
Nan Yan's transformation seemed to have started from the two days of her disappearance, and the biggest problem seemed to be the thing she was going to find in the Cabinet Treasury.
What are you looking for, anyway?
As I was thinking about this, I saw Nan Yan stretching her hand out of the eaves again. This time, the rain was much lighter. Only some fine and dense raindrops fell on her palm, condensing into crystal clear little water droplets.
Nan Yan said, "The rain has subsided, let's go."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Yes."
As he said that, he went back and got an umbrella, held it over her head, and the two of them slowly walked out of the bedroom.
Along the way, the drizzle hit the oil-paper umbrella, as if someone was whispering in her ear, but such a sound could not alleviate the worries in Ran Xiaoyu's heart at all.
As they got closer and closer to the corner gate, her mood became heavier and heavier.
At this time, I walked to the door.
She subconsciously looked back.
Because of the rain, there were dark clouds overhead. Even though it was broad daylight, the sky was already very gloomy and many dark corners of the walls were difficult to see clearly.
Nan Yan said, "Xiao Yu."
"Um?"
Ran Xiaoyu turned around and looked at her, only to see her smiling calmly and saying, "It's okay."
“…”
"Let's go."
After saying that, he walked forward. Ran Xiaoyu bit her lower lip and hurriedly followed him.
