Chapter 590 The Disappearing Shougongsha
"Last night, did the emperor—"
“…”
When she asked this, Nan Yan became even more confused.
Nan Yan had grown up with only a few close relationships with Zhu Feng. Most of the time, it was Zhu Feng who took the initiative, and she was the one who received it. Apart from these, she knew nothing about matters between men and women.
However, she still had a feeling whether anyone had touched her.
No.
Although she seemed to have vaguely seen Zhu Feng on the bed last night and felt him kiss her, but——
Zhu Feng didn't seem to do that to her.
Thinking of this, her face, which had originally blushed, turned pale again in an instant.
Yesterday was the day she was canonized as a noble concubine, and in the past, more than once or twice, they both had been waiting for this day, waiting for the day when they could have each other.
She could feel Zhu Feng's desire, and even she herself was looking forward to it.
but why……
Why did Zhu Feng come but do nothing?
At this time, another palace maid came in to serve, and Nan Yan had to put on her clothes immediately. Just as she raised her hand, she suddenly found that there seemed to be a few finger marks left on her wrist.
Is this also left by Zhu Feng?
The palace maids came in and immediately made the bed and folded the quilt for Nan Yan. Nan Yan was supported by Ran Xiaoyu and walked over to wash up. Looking in the mirror, she saw the expressions on the faces of the palace maids, which seemed a little strange.
She thought for a moment and asked, "You—"
Several palace maids came over hurriedly: "What do you want, Your Majesty?"
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Last night, did you—did you see the emperor coming?"
Several palace maids looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces became more subtle.
Ran Xiaoyu immediately asked: "Did you see it?"
One of them said, “I see.”
“…”
"However, he left after staying for less than half an hour."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was stunned and looked up at her: "He, he left?"
"Yes."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at herself in the mirror, and her eyes became even more confused and helpless.
Why did this night of coronation, this night that should have belonged to him and her, become so strange?
Is it hard to understand?
However, she did not have more time to think about it. After getting up, washing up, and eating something without an appetite, she went to Yonghe Palace to pay a visit to the Empress and pay her respects to her.
Nan Yan walked into Yonghe Palace with a bewildered look on her face.
Naturally, everyone gathered here.
Even Concubine Zhuang Wu Wan, who was just demoted yesterday, naturally had Concubine An Gao Yurong who had always followed her, and even Xia Yunting, who had always been afraid of her and wished never to appear in front of her, was there.
As soon as she walked in, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at her.
Nan Yan slowly walked in amidst the various looks from the people and bowed to the ground: "Greetings to the Queen."
"Get up."
Xu Miaoyin's calm voice sounded, and Ran Xiaoyu immediately helped her stand up. Then, the concubines around her also saluted her one by one.
Only Concubine Zhuang looked at her without blinking while paying her respects.
That look was like a bloody knife.
Nan Yan sat aside.
When Chun'er served her tea, Xu Miaoyin turned to look at her and said with a smile, "My Lady, you look a little haggard."
She probably just asked casually.
But the expressions on the faces of the concubines around her became subtle.
After all, she and the emperor had just gotten married, and since she looked so haggard, people would naturally think that way.
But Gao Yurong smiled and said, "Perhaps, the Imperial Concubine was tired from preparing for the canonization a few days ago."
“…”
"After all, the Emperor was still in the Imperial Study this morning."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Depin Xinqing asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, in the Imperial Study?"
"Yes," Concubine Zhuang Wu Wan said with a half-smile on the other side, "I heard that he spent almost the entire night in the Imperial Study dealing with government affairs and was only away for less than an hour."
…
In an instant, the atmosphere in Yonghe Palace became strange.
Everyone looked at Nan Yan again with a frivolous look in their eyes.
Originally, when everyone saw Zhu Feng conferring the title on her, they all thought that she would be the only one to receive the emperor's favor in the days to come.
Who would have thought that on the night of the enthronement, the emperor only stayed in the Yiku Palace for less than an hour - what could he do with that?
Could it be that the emperor didn't touch her at all?
At this moment, Nan Yan felt as if she was stripped naked under the gaze of everyone.
Xu Miaoyin seemed a little surprised as well.
But her face didn't show much surprise. She was silent for a moment, then said to Nan Yan, "Noble Concubine, although the Emperor is busy with government affairs, it is a blessing for the country, but as the Noble Concubine, you should also advise the Emperor to rest more and take care of his health."
Nan Yan's face turned red, then pale, and she said softly, "Yes."

"Ha ha ha ha……"
In Chonghua Palace, Wu Wan's laughter almost blew the roof off.
She sat on the chair, laughing so hard that tears were about to flow out of her eyes, and Gao Yurong beside her also clapped her hands and laughed, "She is so funny like that."
Wu Wan sneered, "She's a noble concubine, but the Emperor didn't even stay overnight on the night of her canonization. I wonder how she'll ever be able to hold her head up high in the palace!"
Gao Yurong asked, "My Lady, how did you do that?"
“…”
"How could the emperor just go and leave without paying any attention to her?"
Wu Wan asked, "What's the most important thing for a woman in this palace?"
"What is it?"
"It's chastity!"
She said word by word, "If the Emperor favors a concubine for the first time and finds out that she doesn't even have the uterine blood, what do you think the Emperor will do?"
Gao Yurong was also shocked when she heard this.
"She, doesn't have a chastity seal?"
“…”
"Has she been—"
Wu Wan said: "No, she does. I asked someone to pay attention to it before."
"What's going on?"
"A few days ago, I discovered that Xia Yunting secretly had someone get some dirty medicine, so I guessed that she wanted to drug Si Nanyan."
Gao Yurong murmured, "I've heard about this, too."
“…”
"But didn't she fail?"
“…”
"This matter didn't become a big deal."
Wu Wan snorted coldly: "She's an idiot who only thinks about the present and not the future. Of course, she won't accomplish anything."
“…”
"However, after I heard about it, I felt it was an opportunity."
"What opportunity?"
"I heard that there is a potion that, if applied to the toad's blood, can make the toad's blood disappear after a period of time."
Gao Yurong opened her eyes wide in shock when she heard this: "Could it be——"
"That's right," Wu Wan said coldly, "When Xia Yunting went to give her that drug, I had someone secretly put the drug into the water she usually bathes in."
