Chapter 1289 How many times does he want to torture her?
Ran Xiaoyu said hurriedly: "It's nothing, Madam, please lie down and rest first. I will go out and find you something to eat."
After saying that, he stood up and hurried out.
As soon as she went out, she saw Ye Zheng standing in the corner outside. She immediately walked up to him and asked, "How did you get in?"
Ye Zheng didn't answer her immediately. Instead, he looked at the house behind her and asked softly, "Where is the Imperial Concubine?"
"I've had a fever since yesterday and just woke up."
"ah?"
"She's hungry now, and I'm trying to find her something to eat."
"Here, I brought it to you."
As Ye Zheng spoke, he took out a food box from behind. Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly took it and opened it. Inside were some side dishes and a few steamed buns. Although simple, it was perfect for them at that time.
She laughed and said, "That's great!"
As he spoke, he closed the lid again to prevent the contents from spilling out, and then said, "Come on, let's go in."
Ye Zheng shook his head: "No, I still won't go in."
"What's wrong? Don't you want to see the Queen?"
"No, it's not."
Ye Zheng shook his head and thought: It’s not that I don’t want to see her, I’m just afraid of seeing her.
He was afraid that she would ask him about Zhu Feng, and he had no idea how to answer.
Seeing Ye Zheng hesitating like this, Ran Xiaoyu immediately frowned sensitively and asked, "By the way, how did you get in? Weren't you not allowed to come in before, so we could only exchange information in the corner?"
“…”
"Besides, I saw someone guarding the entrance to the cold palace. How could they let you in?"
Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Emperor instructed them to let me in."
He had never thought that when he heard Zhu Feng say that he would tell "them" when he arrived at the cold palace that the emperor allowed him to come in, he found that the cold palace had been guarded by additional guards and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
The guards let him in because the emperor asked for permission.
Upon hearing this, Ran Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhu Feng allowed Ye Zheng to come in, does that mean—
She grabbed Ye Zheng's wrist in surprise and asked, "Has the emperor softened his heart?"
“…”
"Is he going to forgive the Empress?"
“…”
"When can we go out?"
Seeing her eager look, Ye Zheng knew that she was not doing it for herself, but for Nan Yan who was sick inside.
The more this happened, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Ran Xiaoyu kept asking questions, but Ye Zheng was speechless. She couldn't help but frown and asked, "What's going on? Tell me the truth."
“…”
Ye Zheng hesitated for a long time before he said, "Xiaoyu, as for going out—for now, you guys just stay here. I'll come in every day to bring you food and some other necessities."
“…”
"Don't worry about anything else for now."
Hearing him say this, Ran Xiaoyu's brows immediately furrowed.
This means that they can’t even think about going out during this period of time.
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "Is the Emperor still angry with the Empress?"
“…”
"He still can't forgive the queen?"
“…”
The more she asked, the more embarrassed Ye Zheng became. Ran Xiaoyu felt a shadow of foreboding in her heart. She stared into Ye Zheng's eyes and said, "What's going on? Tell me clearly, or I won't let you go!"
As he spoke, the hand that was holding Ye Zheng's wrist exerted force.
Ye Zheng looked at her in embarrassment, then looked at the half-open door behind her.
After a long while, he whispered, "I can tell you, but you—you must not tell the Imperial Concubine."
Hearing him say this, the ominous shadow in Ran Xiaoyu's heart deepened.
She said hoarsely, "You say."
Ye Zheng hesitated for a long time before lowering his voice and whispering, "The Emperor—he wants to confer the title of Consort Kang as Consort Ning."
“……!”
Ran Xiaoyu's breathing suddenly stopped.
She stared at Ye Zheng with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe her ears: "What did you say?"
“…”
"The Emperor wishes to appoint Concubine Kang as his consort?"
“…”
"Concubine Ning?"
"Yes."
Ran Xiaoyu's eyes were red. She bit her lower lip tightly. After a long time, she said in a deep voice: "He-he is really so heartless?"
Favoring other concubines and conferring the title on Feng Qianyan...
If these things happened under normal circumstances, Nan Yan would just laugh it off. But at this time, Nan Yan had just had a miscarriage and was in great pain and tears because of the breakup between the two.
This is going to kill her!
Seeing her biting her lower lip and frowning, Ye Zheng felt very sad.
"Xiaoyu..."
Ran Xiaoyu didn't say anything.
After a long while, her throat choked and she let go of Ye Zheng's hand: "I, I'm going back."
Ye Zheng hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu, please don't tell the Imperial Concubine about this. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu was silent for a long time and slowly turned around.
"Xiaoyu!"
“…”
As she walked inside, she said solemnly, "How many times does he want to torture her?"
After saying that, he left.
Looking at her back, Ye Zheng had nothing to say. He could only sigh and turn away.
After he left, Ran Xiaoyu walked to the door and paused for a long time before pushing it open and walking in. Her expression had returned to normal.
"My lady, this servant has brought you some food."
"Really? Okay."
Nan Yan slowly turned her head and saw the food box in her hand. She forced a smile and said, "That's great."
Ran Xiaoyu came over and helped her sit against the head of the bed, then fed her food.
Unfortunately, people who are sick and weak are better off eating some warm porridge, vegetables and medicinal food, but Ye Zheng did not think of this. In fact, even if he thought of it, he would not be able to get it in. And when Nan Yan put these steamed buns and side dishes into her mouth, it took her a long time to chew them.
Seeing how hard it was for her to even eat, Ran Xiaoyu felt even more distressed.
Nan Yan took great pains to finally swallow a mouthful of steamed bun, then looked up at Ran Xiaoyu: "These things must have been sent in by Ye Zheng, right?"
When Ran Xiaoyu heard this, she immediately looked at her nervously: "How do you know?"
Nan Yan smiled bitterly: "At this time, he is the only one who still remembers to bring in food."
"……oh."
Ran Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She was still worried that Nan Yan had heard them talking just now.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's all thanks to him."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "If he is not even useful for this, I won't bother with him anymore."
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at her for a long moment, then smiled and said, "You, don't be so willful. Ye Zheng is a very good person, and he treats you well too. People like him are so rare."
“…”
Although she often said this, Ran Xiaoyu felt a little strange when she said it at this time.
She looked at Nan Yan: "Why are you saying this, Madam?"
