Chapter 856 Please, help me!
Zhu Chengxuan is her son.
Zhu Chengxuan is really her son.
So all along, no matter how many sweet memories Zhu Feng and I had in the past, even in his opinion, we had already shared life and death, but she would always stand coldly in front of him, and even appear in the depths of his uneasy consciousness.
Tell yourself coldly——
I used to be special too.
Everything you have, I once had.
The most authentic Zhu Feng I have ever seen.
…
No wonder she is so self-righteous.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan suddenly felt like laughing, and then a faint smile really appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She thought about how gentle she had always been to Zhu Chengxuan. Even when the prince she gave birth to was stillborn, she did not forget to speak well of him in front of Zhu Feng. In fact, every word she said was subtly pushing him towards the throne of the crown prince.
At that time, she just felt that she was open and honest.
But now, I can't help but wonder, am I stupid and ridiculous in Qin Ruolan's eyes?
And what about Zhu Feng? He knew everything.
What does he think?
Nan Yan suddenly felt very uncomfortable, as if a dark hand was grasping her heart tightly and squeezing it so hard that even breathing became difficult for her.
She was silent for a long time, and when she spoke again, her voice was as strong as the blood in her body.
It's all cold.
She said, "Well, what do you want me to do?"
Qin Ruolan looked up at her and said in a deep voice: "I, I want to save my son."
"That is, use the method you just used to save him?"
"That's right," she said sadly, "It's me. I'm sorry for him."
“…”
"For all these years, because of what I did back then, I couldn't recognize him. So, all these years, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother at all."
“…”
"Right now, I just want to protect him."
I don’t know if it’s because the boiling blood in her body has cooled down at this time, Nan Yan has even calmed down.
She glanced at Qin Ruolan calmly, then said, "But, do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?"
“…”
"That's right. We may not be able to find out, or even ever find out, who is behind the assassination of the King of Wei."
“…”
"Then the King of Wei may face such danger again in the future."
“…”
"Do you really want to?"
"Of course I don't."
Qin Ruolan said anxiously: "But, I can't bear to see him die in prison this time."
"Died in prison?"
Nan Yan's brow furrowed as she asked, "Did you make a mistake? The King of Wei just has a fever... a high fever that won't go away. Everyone in this world gets sick, and that child hasn't experienced anything like this. Why do you think he'll die?"
Qin Ruolan looked at her and said with difficulty: "My Lady, you haven't experienced what happened back then."
“…”
"But what I want to say is that I am doing this for my children. Even if I die, I am willing to do it."
Having said that, she took a step forward and knelt in front of Nan Yan.
"Please, help me!"

Early the next morning, a piece of news spread in the palace.
It was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, and for a moment, the entire imperial city was shaken.
The case of King Wei's anti-poetry has come to light.
It turned out that it was Concubine Ning Qin Ruolan who secretly framed and wanted to put the King of Wei to death.
After Imperial Concubine Si Nanyan investigated the case, she reported it to the Imperial Study overnight. The Emperor reviewed it for more than an hour and finally approved it.
Thus, the seriously ill King Wei was finally released from prison.
Of course, the Queen Xu Miaoyin, who had been with the King of Wei, was also released from prison along with some officials.
However, some officials were found to have committed other corruption crimes while being tortured in prison and were still detained. However, such matters seemed insignificant compared to the fact that King Wei was finally cleared of all charges.
Before daybreak, the entire harem was already lit up.
Everyone was awake, and the eunuchs and palace maids were running around, constantly trying to find out what was happening outside and reporting back to their masters.
Then, when the sun came out, everyone couldn't sit still anymore.
Together, they went to Yonghe Palace.
Xu Miaoyin had just returned to Yonghe Palace not long ago. Because Zhu Chengxuan had a high fever, she stayed with him for a while after sending him back to Chengqian Palace. At this time, she only leaned against the head of the bed and took a light nap for less than half an hour.
Chun'er came to report: "The Empress, Concubine Kang, Concubine An, Concubine De and other ladies are outside seeking an audience."
"oh?"
Xu Miaoyin nodded calmly and adjusted her appearance in front of the mirror.
Then he said, "Let them in."
After a while, Wu Wan and others walked in.
The strong scent of their makeup made Xu Miaoyin feel like she was about to suffocate for a moment, but her face remained as solemn as ever. She looked at them kneeling and bowing before her and said calmly, "Everyone, stand up. Sit down."
Everyone took their seats.
Xu Miaoyin asked, "Why are you here at Yonghe Palace so early in the morning? Do you have anything to tell me?"
Wu Wan said anxiously, "Empress, I heard that the case of Prince Wei has been thoroughly investigated, right?"
Xu Miaoyin said calmly, "Yes. King Wei was released from prison last night."
Everyone looked at each other.
Everyone's expressions were a bit complicated, but Gao Yurong immediately smiled and said, "This is really cause for celebration."
Everyone immediately said, "Yes, that's great."
"The King of Wei is finally cleared of all charges."
"We can finally rest assured."
Seeing them like this, Xu Miaoyin curled the corners of her lips slightly.
Wu Wan echoed this and said a few words, then looked at Xu Miaoyin carefully and said, "Empress, I heard that Concubine Ning did this. Is that true?"
“…”
Xu Miaoyin raised her eyelids and glanced at her.
Although the queen's gaze was always dignified and calm, and rarely sharp, for some reason, this look made Wu Wan's heart tremble.
She subconsciously lowered her head and avoided Xu Miaoyin's eyes.
Xu Miaoyin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yeah, that's right."
Depin Xinqing beside her said, "Is it really her?"
She had obviously received the news, but she couldn't believe it, so she wanted to come to Yonghe Palace and ask the Queen what was going on.
After all, compared to herself who is not involved in anything, Concubine Ning is even more indifferent and untouched by the world.
How could she do such a thing?
Xin Qing murmured, "Concubine Ning has always been aloof and aloof. Why on earth would she do this?"
Wu Wan immediately sneered, "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. She may appear calm and indifferent, but I'm afraid she has a vicious heart that we don't know."
