Chapter 843 The truth is not that important
"My Lady, wake up, something's wrong!"
The urgent call woke Nan Yan up from her dream. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Ran Xiaoyu standing beside the bed, looking at her anxiously.
"What's up?"
"The Queen is going to be thrown into prison!"
"What?!"
Nan Yan suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed. She said in shock, "The Queen? Imprisoned? How is that possible?"
"It's absolutely true. This is the news from the Imperial Study."
“…”
"Didn't Her Majesty ask Tingfu to keep an eye on the Imperial Study? Early in the morning, I saw the Empress enter the Imperial Study. Later, news came that the Emperor had thrown the Empress into prison as well!"
“…”
Nan Yan couldn't believe her ears!
How did things develop to this point?
She thought about it and didn't care about anything else. She quickly put on her clothes, washed up simply, and hurriedly walked out of Yiku Palace.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the gate of Yiku Palace, he saw Xu Miaoyin walking towards him.
"Empress!"
"My Lady." Xu Miaoyin said, "It's just right that you're here."
Nan Yan hurried over and was about to bow to her, but Xu Miaoyin reached out and held her arm, saying, "Don't be so polite at this time. The Emperor asked me to go back and pack some things, so I took a special detour to come to your Yikun Palace to speak to you."
Nan Yan said anxiously, "Empress, His Majesty, did they really throw you into jail? You, you didn't do anything wrong!"
Xu Miaoyin said calmly, "It wasn't the Emperor who threw me into jail."
"ah?"
"I asked to be imprisoned."
"Why?"
Xu Miaoyin didn't answer her question, but said, "I came to you to ask you to promise me that if there is a chance, please find a way to save the King of Wei."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
This is a bit sudden.
Although she had always whispered in Zhu Feng's ear and spoken well of Zhu Chengxuan, she just did it out of her own accord and had no greater purpose.
Now, the queen suddenly came to find him.
It seems like... there's some kind of alliance involved?
However, Nan Yan did not want to rely on any force in the harem, or form an alliance with anyone. Even if the King of Wei became the crown prince, she would not rely on her.
She is just Zhu Feng's Si Nanyan.
Thinking of this, she frowned slightly and said, "Empress, this——"
"I know this is a bit sudden for you, and I'm forcing you to do something."
Xu Miaoyin said solemnly, "But I know you're someone who can distinguish right from wrong. The relationship between the Emperor and the King of Wei eased a few days ago, and you played a significant role in that."
"I dare not take credit for it."
"In fact, I know that you did this not for fame or fortune, but simply because you know that the King of Wei is a good child. If he can really have a bright future, it will also bring brightness to the future of Yan State, right?"
Xu Miaoyin usually doesn't say a word, but she sees things more clearly than anyone else.
As expected, he is from a famous family.
Nan Yan said calmly, "Your Majesty, your eyes are as sharp as a torch."
Then she added, "However, Your Majesty the Queen has greater power than I do and can protect the King of Wei. If Your Majesty asks to be imprisoned, then you won't be able to help the King of Wei, right?"
Xu Miaoyin sighed and said, "I asked to be imprisoned to protect him, to protect him from being harmed by evil people."
"Traitor? The Queen means—"
"Your Highness was once imprisoned. You should know very well what you will encounter in prison."
“…”
Nan Yan's face turned pale.
At the beginning, the jailers colluded with Wu Wan and tortured herself in prison.
During that period, life was really worse than death.
She said, "Could they dare to treat the King of Wei like this? Then—"
Xu Miaoyin said, "Although the Imperial Concubine has been imprisoned once, there are some things you still don't quite understand. Although the Prince of Wei is the Emperor's son, the mistake he made this time has touched the Emperor's sore spot. Someone must have been behind this to cause this matter to escalate so much, even imprisoning officials in the court, and even the dismissed Jian Ruocheng."
“…”
"It would be easy for them to tamper with the prison."
Nan Yan angrily said, "If anything happens to the King of Wei, they won't be able to survive!"
Xu Miaoyin said, "If anything happened to the King of Wei, they could just say he committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
“…”
"Once that happens, his guilt will be established. Even if he dies, he will be just a criminal, and the emperor will not pursue him."
“…”
"Throughout history, this has been the most common method."
“…”
Nan Yan broke out in a cold sweat.
She vaguely remembered that there were countless such examples in history books.
When a person dies, everything is said by others.
Xu Miaoyin said calmly, "So, only if I am also in prison, they will not dare to do anything to the King of Wei."
Nan Yan immediately understood.
The queen asked to be imprisoned, but she was innocent after all.
No matter how brave the jailers were, they didn't dare to touch her.
Naturally, no one dared to touch the King of Wei in front of her. After all, it was impossible for her to commit suicide out of fear of punishment. In the future, she still had to walk out of the prison alive.
This was something Nan Yan had not expected.
You know, no matter what, entering the prison is not a comfortable thing, not to mention that she is the queen!
Zhu Chengxuan is not her biological son, but as his stepmother, she can make such a sacrifice for an adopted son!
Nan Yan said with emotion: "My Lady..."
Xu Miaoyin sighed and said, "This isn't all for Prince Wei. The Emperor only has him as his son, and I can't let him make an irreparable mistake in his rage."
Ultimately, she did it for Zhu Feng.
This time, it was more than just touching.
Nan Yan's heart was even a little shaken.
But she thought for a moment and then said, "What do you think I can do, Queen? How can I protect the King of Wei?"
Xu Miaoyin said, "There is one thing I must tell you."
Nan Yan asked, "What's the matter?"
"Cheng Xuan never wrote that anti-poem."
"What?!"
Nan Yan's expression changed drastically. "King Wei, was he framed? Who was it?"
Xu Miaoyin took advantage of her expression and shook her head: “I can’t find out, and I don’t have any clues at the moment.”
“…”
"I have to protect the King of Wei and don't have time to investigate."
Nan Yan frowned.
The queen's authority in the harem is unparalleled. If even she can't find out, it can almost be said that there is no clue at all.
Nan Yan suddenly felt a huge pressure and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to find out the truth?"
Xu Miaoyin looked up at her.
Her eyes were full of complexity. Nan Yan's brows furrowed slightly when she looked at her. Then, she heard her say, "Noble Concubine, I have something to say to you. Remember it well. It will be useful to you in the future."
