Chapter 892 Princess Xinping
Although I drank a bowl of thick ginger soup made by Aunt Tongyun the night before and then slept warmly wrapped in a quilt, when I woke up the next morning, I still felt a stuffy nose and my whole body was weak.
Ran Xiaoyu touched her forehead and said, "It's a little hot."
Aunt Tongyun came over and took a look, and immediately frowned: "It's not a cold, it's a fever."
Nan Yan opened her heavy eyelids and glanced at the two of them. She wanted to say something, but she didn't have the strength.
Nian Qiu immediately said, "I will go to the Imperial Hospital to ask the imperial physician to come over."
Nan Yan stretched out a hand from under the quilt and waved gently: "No need."
"Your Majesty..."
"It's just a slight fever. I don't want to cause a scene by calling in the imperial physician."
"No way."
"I said no."
The sicker a person is, the more stubborn they become. She slowly propped up her limp body and sat down on the bedside: "Bring me something to eat. I'll feel refreshed after eating."
Nian Qiu and Ran Xiaoyu looked at Aunt Tongyun hesitantly.
Aunt Tongyun could only say, "Well, it's good that you're willing to eat when you're sick. Let's have the imperial kitchen send some light food over first. After the queen eats, we'll see how things go."
The message was passed on, and breakfast was delivered soon.
There was steaming hot chicken porridge and some refreshing side dishes. Although Nan Yan had no appetite, she still forced herself to eat.
I broke out in a sweat.
Aunt Tongyun touched her forehead again, and indeed, the fever had subsided a little.
She said with assurance: "That's good. How do you feel now, Madam?"
Nan Yan leaned on the pillow: "Yes, my whole body feels weak."
"That's normal."
“…”
"Your Majesty, please don't go out today. Rest well in Yikun Palace."
Nan Yan nodded silently.
In fact, she didn't want to go out or see anyone.
Now, she just wants to be alone.
However, God was unwilling to do so. She had just changed her sweat-soaked clothes and was about to lie down to rest for a while when she heard Xiao Shunzi's voice outside.
"Your Highness."
When she heard it was him, Nan Yan frowned slightly.
He was someone who followed Zhu Feng. When he came, could it be that something happened to Zhu Feng again?
Xiao Shunzi walked in and was surprised to see her appearance: "Madam, what is this——"
"It's okay," Nan Yan waved her hand, "Tell me what's going on."
"Your Majesty, please ask the Imperial Concubine to go to the Imperial Study. It seems that there is something I need to tell you."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned.
For so long, she wanted to see Zhu Feng but couldn't, and was turned away many times. Why did Zhu Feng take the initiative to let her in today?
She thought for a moment and asked, "Is the emperor the only one in the imperial study?"
Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a moment before whispering, "It seems... there's also Feng Zhao—oh no, it's Concubine Li."
“…”
Hearing this title, Nan Yan knew that although the enthronement ceremony had not been carried out, the emperor had directly issued an edict and the enthronement was still valid.
But, let me go to the imperial study... ?
What to do?
Thinking back to how furious I was at Feng Shu in Yangxingzhai yesterday, I was afraid that she wouldn't let it go so easily. I was afraid that she would cause trouble for me today.
At this time, Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing by, heard that Feng Shu was also in the imperial study, and immediately frowned.
"Our queen is ill."
"My Lady, this—"
Xiao Shunzi was a little hesitant. He glanced at Nan Yan's pale face and hesitated to say whether he should go back and report this.
Nan Yan glanced at him and said calmly, "It's okay."
"My Lady."
Ran Xiaoyu saw her about to stand up and hurried over to support her. Nan Yan said calmly, "The Emperor asked me to let you go. Can you stop me just by saying one word?"
“…”
"Give me some makeup, at least—I won't lose the battle."
"……yes."
Ran Xiaoyu could only try her best to make her look not so defeated, but, after all, she was still sick, and no matter how she dressed, she always looked a little haggard.
Then, Nan Yan walked slowly towards the imperial study with weak steps.
After the light rain yesterday, the sky did not clear up. The rain only stopped for one night, and early in the morning, it started to drizzle again, as if it would never stop.
The autumn rain brings a chill.
I could already feel the cold air seeping through my clothes and into my body.
After a while, we arrived at the gate.
This time, the door was open. When he looked up, he saw Zhu Feng sitting behind the imperial desk, and behind him, where he usually stood, was Feng Shu.
In his hand, he held a cup of tea.
As soon as he saw her, an almost sinister smile appeared on his face.
But the next moment, when Nan Yan walked into the gate, she immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and kowtowed to her respectfully: "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan didn't look at her, but slowly stepped forward and said, "Concubine, I pay my respects to the Emperor."
"Get up."
Zhu Feng just raised his hand indifferently and glanced at her.
His pale face looked even more haggard in the dim light.
He originally wanted to get down to business as soon as she came over, but seeing this scene, he instinctively asked, "What's wrong?"
But his tone sounded a little irritable.
Nan Yan didn't say anything, but Xiao Shunzi beside her rushed to say, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is not feeling well."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng frowned.
Seeing that he was about to say something, Feng Shu hurriedly said, "The Imperial Concubine is not feeling well. Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look?"
Nan Yan gave her a cold look and said, "Don't bother with that."
Feng Shu immediately beamed and said, "Your Highness, I'm deeply grateful for your teachings yesterday, and I want to repay you for your kindness. Today, seeing you're feeling unwell, I'm deeply distressed."
“…”
"When I was in Hecheng before, I saw that Your Majesty's body had been damaged by giving birth to the little princess, and she had never fully recovered. Now, she is shouldering the heavy responsibility of educating the princess and has not been able to rest. It is no wonder that she fell ill."
“…”
When I heard her words, I kept hearing "little princess" on the left and "little princess" on the right.
Nan Yan frowned sensitively.
Her face darkened: "What are you going to say?"
Feng Shu lowered her head and said softly, "I just want to help the Imperial Concubine."
At this time, Zhu Feng said: "Your health is not good, it's time to take a rest."
“…”
"I have decided. Xinping, you don't need to stay in Yikun Palace. Lipin also wants to share your worries. You can send Xinping to Yangxingzhai and let Lipin take care of her. I can visit her often."
At this moment, Nan Yan only felt a loud bang in her head, like a thunderclap.
She cried out in frustration, "No!"
