Chapter 262 Is it fun to play tricks on yourself?
Both of them turned to look at the gate, and Ran Xiaoyu calculated the time and pursed her lips slightly.
Nan Yan was also a little confused. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, walked over to open the door and saw that the person standing outside was not Bie Re, but Xiao Shunzi.
He said, "Lady-in-law, the emperor wants you to come over to keep watch tonight."
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned.
She fully expected that Zhu Feng would go to Du Siyao's place today, but she didn't expect that he would ask her to stay over there at night.
Wouldn't he favor the newly appointed Concubine Du tonight?
Xiao Shunzi said, "I've passed on the message. You should finish eating quickly and go over there. Don't make the emperor angry."
After saying that, he left.
Nan Yan stood at the door, watching his back disappear into the twilight, then slowly returned to the table. She looked up and saw Ran Xiaoyu, who said with a half-smile, "Tonight, Concubine Du will be alone in her empty room."
“…”
"You have to. Thank you for your hard work."
"What nonsense."
Nan Yan hurriedly picked up the bowl of rice.
She had to admit that she felt really uncomfortable ever since she knew that Du Siyao had entered the palace again and had served in the emperor's bedchamber, and now had been canonized as a concubine.
But these days, Zhu Feng asked her to come over to work the night shift every night, but he didn't say anything, as if she didn't exist in the hall.
The two people were so close, yet they seemed further apart.
He asked her to tell him if she had anything to say, but now, it seemed as if the two of them had nothing to say to each other.
But no matter what, tonight, Zhu Feng asked her to go over and work the night shift... This still made her feel a little joyful in her heart.

When night fell, Nanyan arrived at the Wuying Palace.
But when he walked in, he found that the Wuying Hall was empty and Zhu Feng was not inside.
She was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask someone, but Xiao Shunzi and the others had already left. She thought for a moment and walked out of the hall again. She happened to see a palace maid passing by and asked, "Sister, where is the emperor?"
The maid was carrying something and walking towards the harem. When she heard her question, she smiled and said, "The emperor went to Concubine Du's place tonight."
"What?"
Nan Yan was startled.
He went to Du Siyao's place.
Then, why let yourself come here to work the night?
The palace maid looked at her puzzled expression and said with a half-smile, "Today is the first day of the imperial concubine's canonization. Of course, the emperor will stay with her for the night. It's really funny that you ask."
After saying that, he left.
Nan Yan stood there blankly. After a long while, the night wind made her face cold, and she slowly turned her head.
But, I didn't go back.
After all, the emperor asked her to work the night shift, so she had to stay in Wuying Palace for one night.
But……
Why do you do this?
Is he playing a trick on himself? Is playing tricks on himself fun?
What's so funny about this? Is it because I said something he didn't want to hear that night at Prince Jing's Mansion, or because I offended Concubine Kang that day, making him unhappy?
Nan Yan bit her lower lip, and a little anger rose in her heart.
But even she herself knew that such anger was not worth mentioning. She was just a servant beside the emperor. Not to mention being ordered around, even beating and killing her would only take a word.
But—I’m still angry.
She looked at the large bed, walked over deliberately, spread out the quilt and pillow, pretending that someone was going to rest, then moved a small stool and sat down in the corner.
The candlelight in front of me flickered slightly.
I don’t know why, but that kind of candlelight is a bit dazzling.
She leaned her head against the cold wall, tears welling up in her eyes from the sting, and muttered, "What's the big deal..."
