Chapter 1400 Why did the Queen want to protect "her"?
He said cautiously, "Is the Imperial Concubine using a scheme of self-torture?"
“…”
"She wants to use this opportunity to leave the cold palace?"
When this was mentioned, Zhu Feng frowned and snorted coldly after a while.
"snort!"
Before, I had clearly told her that I would not let her out unless she admitted her mistake. In fact, the two of them had been enduring like this these days.
Unexpectedly, Si Nanyan was so stubborn that no matter how difficult it was, even if she was seriously ill, she just refused to speak.
In the end, using this method made himself seriously ill.
She would rather be seriously ill and torture herself like this than give in to him!
Thinking of this, Zhu Feng's face turned even uglier, especially when he thought about how, just because of her "torture trick", he had obediently carried her out of the cold palace and let her live in his own bedroom, making him feel like he was "homeless" now...
He slowly clenched his hand into a fist and slammed it hard on the table.
When Eunuch Yu saw him like this, his heart skipped a beat.
He quickly apologized with a smile, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
“…”
"In fact, the Imperial Concubine has the Emperor in her heart."
Zhu Feng turned to look at him: "Hmm?"
Eunuch Yu poured a cup of tea and carefully held it to his hand, saying, "Your Majesty knows the character of the Imperial Concubine. She is stubborn, so she has always been making a gamble with you."
“…”
"If you don't have the emperor in your heart, then your anger will be gone. What's the point of being angry?"
“…”
After hearing this, Zhu Feng was skeptical: "Really?"
Eunuch Yu hurriedly said, "For so many years, the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine have supported each other to this day. Although those involved are often confused, this servant can still see things clearly."
“…”
"The Empress has the Emperor in her heart, and the Emperor, besides the country, has the Empress in his heart."
“…”
For some reason, this sentence was like a needle that pierced Zhu Feng's heart, causing him to feel an indescribable pain and sadness.
After a long silence, Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "She is not as good as you!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Yu turned pale with fear and waved his hands hurriedly: "I dare not, I dare not."
Zhu Feng rolled his eyes at him.
Seeing that he seemed to have calmed down a little, Eunuch Yu said carefully: "Your Majesty, about the Fuzi Decoction..."
Zhu Feng said coldly: "Yufu, following me for so many years has made you stupid, right?"
"this--"
"If that's the case, I don't need you anymore."
"Your Majesty, spare my life."
Eunuch Yu said in a panic, "I just don't understand why the Emperor, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine all saw that the Aconite Soup was replaced by Imperial Concubine Hui's order, but still—"
Having said this, Zhu Feng's face turned truly gloomy.
In fact, apart from Nan Yan's "torture trick", this was the most annoying thing for him today.
Concubine Hui Wu Wan and Concubine An Gao Yurong were too blatant. They actually dared to tamper with the aconite soup used by the imperial concubine. If Nan Yan was completely unaware of this and continued drinking it, she would probably become seriously ill and difficult to recover, and no one knows why!
but--
He had just established the cabinet, replaced Wu Yingqiu with Wu Ding, and promoted Heyi as the chief minister of the cabinet. In fact, this made the Wu family suffer a loss. At this time, he did not want to take any action against the Wu family.
After all, this cabinet has just been established and is not yet stable, so it needs some time to run in.
No matter how important the harem is, it is not as important as his cabinet.
So, he let Concubine Hui and the others go.
Thinking of this, he became furious again. He gritted his teeth, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Looking at his expression, Eunuch Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Everyone thinks that the imperial power is supreme and being an emperor is a happy thing, but in fact, behind the superficial glory of the person sitting on the dragon throne, there are too many reasons. In addition, Zhu Feng is a very capable monarch and a sober person. On the one hand, he wants to hold power, and on the other hand, he has to be wary of the situation like before. He set up a cabinet to assist him, or in other words, to check and balance himself.
This is not an easy thing to do.
In addition, from the Ning Wang rebellion to the Nanjing Incident, the Duke has made many contributions and is well-known in the court and the country. Under such circumstances, it is really inappropriate to deal with Hui Fei and others at this time.
Eunuch Yu refilled his water and said softly, "Your Majesty's painstaking efforts may not be understood by others, but I see it with my own eyes."
“…”
"If it weren't for this, the Emperor wouldn't have dealt with all the people in the Imperial Pharmacy in one go."
“…”
Eunuch Yu said softly, "It would be great if the Emperor could reconcile with the Imperial Concubine."
Zhu Feng didn't say anything.
He just looked at the tea in the cup, which reflected his own gaze and swayed slightly.

At this time, the Imperial Pharmacy sent another batch of Aconite Soup. Nan Yan pinched her nose and drank half a bowl, but she felt so bitter that she wanted to vomit.
Just as he was about to push it away, Aunt Tongyun was holding the bowl.
"No, my lady has to finish the drink."
“…”
Nan Yan had no choice but to grit her teeth and drink the rest. She immediately gagged a few times because of the bitter taste.
Nian Qiu hurriedly brought a cup of water and a spittoon for her to rinse her mouth, and then offered her some sugar-pickled plums. Nan Yan put two or three plums in her mouth and finally got over the pungent and bitter taste.
She took a breath and leaned back against the head of the bed.
Aunt Tongyun took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth. As she wiped, she said softly, "My Lady."
"Um?"
"Did your Majesty know that there was something wrong with the medicine?"
“…”
Nan Yan glanced at her, said nothing, just smiled.
Aunt Tongyun sighed deeply and said, "I knew it was the most troublesome thing for the Imperial Concubine to drink medicine. It's hard to force it down. How come the medicine sent to the cold palace a few days ago was all drunk before I even had a chance to take a look at it?"
“…”
"Your Majesty, you don't want this servant to know, right?"
Nan Yan smiled: "Now that you know, you will definitely not let me do this."
"Of course, if the medicine is not suitable for the disease, serious consequences will occur."
"Don't worry, I have a plan in mind."
Ran Xiaoyu also came over and said, "If it weren't for this, the emperor wouldn't have taken the queen out of the cold palace so quickly."
Aunt Tongyun looked at her: "Xiaoyu, you - you know too?"
The two of them looked at each other.
"Okay, so I'm the only one you're going to lie to!"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Isn't it because I know that you, Auntie, feel sorry for me that I didn't tell you?"
Aunt Tongyun said, "Do you know how dangerous this is? The Queen has such a high fever. If it doesn't go away, it could be fatal!"
She nagged for a long time, and Nan Yan coaxed her with soft words for a long time. Finally, after she finished nagging, she left.
Ran Xiaoyu walked over and closed the door, then returned to Nan Yan's bedside.
The master and servant looked at each other.
Ran Xiaoyu whispered, "Why did the Queen want to protect her?"
