Chapter 2901 Each Has His Own Thoughts
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Where is your Concubine Li?"
The young eunuch said in panic, "Empress Li is inside."
"Well, I'll go in and talk to her. There's no need to close the palace gate."
“Yes… yes.”
The young eunuch stepped aside in panic.
At this time, all the palace gates outside were closed, and the gates of the six palaces in the east and west were also closed one after another. Everyone was ready to rest, but the imperial concubine suddenly ran to Chonghua Palace to "chat" with Lipin.
What to talk about?
Could it be that the enthronement of Concubine Li really caused some trouble?
You have to know that this imperial concubine has ruthless methods. Countless concubines have fallen at her hands. If she sets her eyes on someone, she will not stop until she kills him.
Nan Yan walked in and all the servants in Chonghua Palace came forward to pay their respects. They were all as silent as cicadas and didn't dare to breathe.
Nan Yan walked into Chonghua Palace. Yao Ying had obviously taken off her makeup and was ready to go to bed. She was only wearing a set of white underwear. When she heard that she was coming, she hurriedly put on an outer coat, walked to the door and kowtowed to Nan Yan.
"Greetings, Madam Noble Consort."
Nan Yan looked down at her and said with a smile, "Lipin, am I disturbing your sleep?"
"No, no, no."
"You even took off your hair, and you still say you don't have it?"
“…”
"You must know that telling lies in front of me will have much more serious consequences than saying something unpleasant."
“……!”
Upon hearing this, Yao Ying's face changed drastically.
The imperial concubine's words were obviously a warning to her not to lie. It seemed that she came here so late with a purpose.
Yao Ying knelt on the ground, knocking her forehead against the ground, and said softly, "Whatever your majesty wants to ask, I dare not hide it anymore."
Nan Yan nodded in satisfaction, walked to the table beside her and sat down, then said to her: "Come and sit down, no need to kneel anymore, I have something to ask you."
Yao Ying stood up and walked carefully to sit down opposite her.
"I wonder what the Imperial Concubine wants to ask me."
Nan Yan looked at her and said with a smile, "I want to ask you about the eulogy written for the Imperial Concubine."
“……!”
Yao Ying's heart sank and she looked at her with wide eyes.
"Eulogy...?"

The moon is bright in the sky.
The summer heat gradually receded, and the night breeze blew over the pond, rippling the clear water and bringing a refreshing coolness.
Zhu Chengxuan opened the window in the room arranged by Si Muyun and could see the cold moonlight outside at a glance.
And that beautiful figure under the moonlight.
His heart was pounding like thunder, but he tried his best to remain calm. He pushed the door open and walked out, going behind the figure.
"Qi Qing..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, his trembling voice revealed his excitement.
In the moonlight, Gu Qiqing, who was standing by the pond admiring the scenery, turned around, a faint and peaceful smile on his happy face, and said softly, "Your Highness."
Although the two of them were already so familiar with each other, Zhu Chengxuan still felt his heart skip a beat when he met those clear and gentle eyes.
He tried hard to suppress his excitement and said, "It's so late, why don't you go back to your room and rest?"
Gu Qiqing looked at him with a smile: "I am waiting here for Your Highness."
"Huh? Wait for me?"
Zhu Chengxuan was a little surprised.
You have to know that in their interactions, although he is also a shy person, he is usually the one who takes the initiative. As a lady from a prominent family, Gu Qiqing has never spoken so bluntly.
Under the moonlight, Gu Qiqing's face gradually turned red.
But she still bravely looked into Zhu Chengxuan's eyes and said softly, "I know that a lot of big things happened in the uterus recently, and Your Highness took on all of it alone. I...I want to know if Your Highness is okay."
“……!”
With just these words from her, Zhu Chengxuan felt that all the difficulties and obstacles were nothing.
He excitedly took a step forward and grabbed Gu Qiqing's hand.
"I, I'm fine!"
“…”
"I missed you, too."
“…”
"Qiqing, how are you these days?"
With her hands grabbed, Gu Qiqing's face turned red all the way to her ears, but she did not pull her hands out. She just quietly let the other person hold her hands.
He lowered his head and whispered, "I'm fine."
“…”
"Seeing that His Highness is alright and knowing that He is better than before, I feel better too."
Zhu Chengxuan was so excited that he couldn't say anything and could only smile foolishly.
The two people held hands tightly together.
Si Muyun, who was standing on the corridor not far away, saw this scene and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
He turned around and said to Gu Qiqing's personal maid, "Just stay here and don't get too close, and don't leave."
It was a rare opportunity for the two young men to spend time together alone, and he was happy to help them both.
However, the two have not yet married, and Gu Qiqing is still an unmarried young lady. If something happens, he cannot afford it, and it will also be embarrassing for the royal family. Therefore, someone must keep an eye on her.
The little maid was also smart. She just nodded obediently without saying a word, for fear of startling the two people in front. Si Muyun smiled and turned away.
As he took a step forward, his eyes were caught by the moonlight reflected in the pond.
Si Muyun stopped and looked at the moon reflected in the pool, and his thoughts became deeper.
He could understand that the emperor asked Prince Wei to come and consult him, but he felt a little strange that the emperor hinted that Prince Wei did not need to return to the palace tonight.
Could it be that something will happen in the palace tonight?
He did hear about another concubine starting to show up at the Royal Noble Consort's funeral a while ago, but that was just a small matter. Even if it was really related to the previous major incident in the capital, the Royal Noble Consort could handle it.
Why should King Wei be allowed to recuse himself?
Could it be that the emperor has to deal with some important matter in the air tonight?
Moreover, it is something that the King of Wei cannot know.
After thinking about it for a long time, Si Muyun still couldn't come up with a conclusion. He sighed and turned back to his room.
At the same time, Zhu Feng in the imperial study raised his head.
"What time is it?"
Eunuch Yu stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's just past midnight."
He looked cautious as he spoke.
Usually Zhu Feng stayed in the imperial study to handle official business, but today, Zhu Feng did not handle any official business in the imperial study for almost the entire day. He just sat there alone, as if recalling some past events. Although his face looked calm, it also revealed a trace of indescribable sadness.
He had a vague feeling that the emperor was going to do something today.
So, I waited by his side all the time.
Zhu Feng asked again, "Where is the King of Wei?"
"It's at Lord Si's residence."
"Where's the imperial concubine?"
"I went to Chonghua Palace."
“…”
Zhu Feng nodded, was silent for a moment, then he put his hands on the edge of the table, stood up and said, "Let's go."
