Chapter 1455: Watching the Fight Between Tigers
"We didn't do anything. They were resentful of the wrong people. They weren't on guard against the people who really wanted to harm them. If anything happens in the future, they will have to bear the consequences themselves."
Aunt Tongyun listened and sighed.
He said softly, "That's true."
Nan Yan raised her head and looked at Nian Qiu again, saying, "Did you fall anywhere?"
Nian Qiu hurriedly shook his head. "Not really. Falling in the snow won't hurt anyone. It's just that the clothes I just put on today got dirty."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I'll make you a new set in a couple of days."
Nian Qiu said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"
Unlike her optimistic attitude, Ran Xiaoyu was a little worried and asked, "After they treated Nianqiu like this today, will they continue to embarrass us in the days ahead, or even resort to shady tactics?"
Aunt Tongyun and the others immediately looked at Nanyan nervously.
Nan Yan shook her head and said, "They don't dare."
“…”
"I am the Imperial Concubine after all. If we really confront them, they will suffer. It's just like today, to vent my anger."
“…”
"Besides, they have their own big troubles ahead of them. If they really anger me, they're afraid I'll spill the beans. By then, Feng Qianyan's efforts will be in vain."
Ran Xiaoyu nodded: "That's right."
Nan Yan then said to Aunt Tongyun, Ran Xiaoyu, and the young eunuch, "Be careful when you do things these days and don't get into conflict with them."
"yes."
Ran Xiaoyu helped Nan Yan wash up, helped her onto the bed, and stuffed the hot water bottle into her quilt.
Feeling a burst of warmth, Nan Yan sighed comfortably.
Ran Xiaoyu whispered again: "My Lady, then tomorrow we still have to -"
Nan Yan said: "Of course."
“…”
"We should just do whatever we want to do without worrying about them."
"Yes, then I will go down and prepare."
"Um."

Nan Yan went to bed early due to her health condition, but the lights in Chonghua Palace were still on.
As soon as it got dark, it started snowing again.
The lights shone on the falling snow outside, making the scene seem even more lively, especially when bursts of laughter drifted out from the room.
Wu Wan smiled and said, "This is really interesting."
Then he asked the little chess piece: "Is this true?"
The little chess piece folded her hands and said with an apologetic smile, "Even if I had the guts to do that, I wouldn't dare to deceive Her Majesty Hui. Just now, everyone saw that the people from Jianfu Palace tripped the little girl from Yikun Palace and deliberately said she was blind."
Wu Wan laughed again, and her tears were almost coming out.
She turned to look at Gao Yurong: "Your method is good."
“…”
"Not only did they deal with the people in Jianfu Palace, but they also made them fight with the people in Yikun Palace. It's really interesting."
Gao Yurong, who was sitting nearby, also laughed.
Ever since that day when Qin Ruolan caused a big fuss in Jianfu Palace, she had sensitively realized that there must be something wrong with Concubine Ning, and that the problem was most likely with the imperial physician Shao Ren, so she deliberately had someone step on his leg and break it during the chaos.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, people from Jianfu Palace were seen secretly leaving the palace and going to the imperial physician's residence.
In the evening, he started quarreling with the people from Yiku Palace again.
On the contrary, the person who actually did the attack was not discovered and could sit back and watch the fight.
After laughing, Gao Yurong said seriously, "However, this time, even the Empress herself went to Jianfu Palace and couldn't find out the truth. It seems that Concubine Ning was well prepared."
When this was mentioned, Wu Wan's smile gradually faded.
She said coldly, "She's really quick."
“…”
"Doctor Shao's leg cannot be broken in vain."
Gao Yurong heard this and immediately said, "It's okay. She can avoid it for a while, but how can she avoid it forever? The Empress personally brought Wang Baizhi there today, obviously she has doubts in her heart."
“…”
"Tomorrow, we'll go together—"
Her voice became lower and lower, and she murmured in Wu Wan's ear for a long time. Wu Wan's face suddenly showed a sinister sneer, and she said, "Okay, let's do it!"
Early the next morning, Wu Wan and Gao Yurong got up early.
They arrived just as the gates of Yonghe Palace opened.
Concubine Xu and others who usually gathered around them also arrived here early. When they were at the door, their eyes met, and without saying anything, they went straight into Yonghe Palace to pay their respects to the Empress.
After the greetings were completed, Wu Wan said, "I heard yesterday that Doctor Shao, who was responsible for preserving Concubine Ning's pregnancy, was injured. I don't know what happened."
Xu Miaoyin sat right above, took a sip of tea, and said, "The road was slippery in the snow, and I fell and hurt my leg."
"It's true. There was a sudden heavy snowfall, and people almost fell in several places in the palace."
“…”
"I came here this morning and almost slipped."
"You all should be careful. If the snow doesn't melt, you don't have to come and pay your respects tomorrow."
"The Empress is so tolerant of me and others."
Xu Miaoyin smiled faintly: "I am not a strict person. As long as you are all quiet, I will be more pleased with anything else in the palace than having you kowtow to me every day."
Everyone immediately stood up and bowed to her: "Thank you, Queen."
"Okay, get up and sit down."
After everyone sat down, Gao Yurong said, "By the way, since Doctor Shao is ill, who is in charge of Concubine Ning's sister—"
Before he could finish his words, someone came to report that Wang Baizhi from the Imperial Hospital was paying her respects.
Xu Miaoyin said, "Let him in."
Wang Baizhi walked in carrying a medicine box. Seeing that most of the concubines in the harem were present, she hurriedly bowed her head and came forward to greet the empress and the others. Xu Miaoyin said, "We were just talking about this. Doctor Wang, you have to take Concubine Ning's pulse today. Be careful."
"I understand."
Wu Wan and Gao Yurong looked at each other.
Gao Yurong immediately said, "Your Majesty, I and your concubines would also like to go and see Concubine Ning."
"you?"
"Yes, I haven't been there to ask about her these days, fearing I might have disturbed her. The Empress is right, the sisters in the harem are like family. It just so happens that the imperial physician is here to take her pulse today, so I want to go see her too."
The other concubines and imperial consorts all said, "We also want to."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin was silent for a moment.
She originally wanted to wait until everyone paid their respects and left before going there with Doctor Wang, but she didn't expect that all of them wanted to go together.
Of course, it’s not unexpected.
Recently, Jianfu Palace has been in turmoil, so naturally its popularity is higher.
She thought for a moment and said, "Well, it turns out I was planning to go see her. Qin Ruolan made such a scene that day, and she felt wronged. Doctor Shao was injured, and that made her even more uneasy."
“…”
"Since you all want to go, let's go together."
Everyone stood up immediately: "Yes."
When a large group of people walked out of Yonghe Palace and headed towards Jianfu Palace, Nan Yan happened to be passing by from another road.
