Chapter 1179 "The Truth"
As soon as Nan Yan heard it, she knew that this matter was obviously no longer under her control.
She thought about it, smiled, reached out to pick up the teapot and added some hot water to the cup in front of Xu Miaoyin, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. Leave this matter to me."
"you?"
"Yes, I just hope that Your Majesty can give me the opportunity to enter and leave the cold palace tomorrow."
"Hey, you know this place isn't where you can come and go as you please. What are you talking about? I'm giving you a chance."
"Your Majesty, I cannot accept your words."
Having said that, it seemed like it was a deal.
But Xu Miaoyin was a little hesitant.
You know, she only got the news that the emperor wanted someone to deliver charcoal to the Yanx Palace. In fact, this matter was already arranged by the emperor, and even she, the queen, could not interfere.
After all, the emperor is the emperor, and the power to manage the harem was given by him. No one can resist what he says.
But Si Nanyan said, leave it to her?
Xu Miaoyin hesitated for a moment and said, "Noble Concubine, what are you going to do? Your relationship with the Emperor has finally eased somewhat, don't let any more complications arise. Anything can't go wrong right now."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
After she finished speaking, she acted as if she didn't intend to say more and invited the Queen to have some tea. Xu Miaoyin looked at her silent eyes and didn't say anything more.

The next day was a rainy day.
Early in the morning, Eunuch Yu led two young eunuchs, carrying a basket of charcoal covered with an oilcloth, and walked into the Yanxi Palace.
He asked someone to put the charcoal under the corridor and prepared to go forward and knock on the door of the left hall.
But as soon as he raised his hand, the door opened.
Eunuch Yu took a step back in a hurry: "Mrs. Qin——"
Before he could finish his words, he saw the person standing inside and his eyes widened in shock: "Miss Xiaoyu?!"
What's going on?
The person in front of me is indeed Ran Xiaoyu, right?
Could it be that he went to the wrong place and ended up in the cold palace by chance?
Eunuch Yu was stunned for a moment, but Ran Xiaoyu nodded respectfully and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Yu. Just leave the things here."
“…”
Eunuch Yu frowned, realizing that things were not that simple.
He carefully took a look inside, but because Ran Xiaoyu was standing at the door and refused to move away, the sunlight could not get in. He only felt that the light in the left hall was dim and he could not see anything.
He said: "The Imperial Concubine—"
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Our queen is here to visit Madam Qin."
“…”
"Eunuch Yu, the emperor asked you to deliver the things. Now that you have delivered them, everything is fine."
“…”
After all, Eunuch Yu had been in the palace for so many years that he immediately understood what was going on. He thought about it, nodded, and said, "Well, I'll have to trouble Miss Xiaoyu to take care of this."
"What are you talking about, Eunuch Yu?"
Eunuch Yu turned around and waved to the two young eunuchs, who immediately followed him out. At the same time, Ran Xiaoyu also closed the palace door.
Eunuch Yu turned around, looked at the closed doors and windows, and sighed.
"You've done this to yourself, and you'll never be able to survive..."
He shook his head and left.
As soon as the doors and windows were closed, the already stuffy left hall of the Yanx Palace became even more suffocating, making it impossible to breathe.
Qin Ruolan's face slowly turned from pale to ghastly.
In the past few days, Wu Wan and others have come to torture her almost every day. Now, her knees are so swollen that she can't even walk, and there are many invisible injuries on her body.
This was the first time she clearly felt the cruelty of the harem.
The ugliness of human nature.
But she didn't expect that Si Nanyan would give her the heaviest blow at this time.
Facing her sitting in the chair with a stern face, staring at her like a demon, Qin Ruolan smiled instead: "My Lady, you finally showed up."
“…”
"I said, they all tortured me, you shouldn't have just come forward."
Nan Yan looked coldly at the beautiful woman in front of her who was as pretty as a flower but looked so haggard that it made people feel distressed. Her eyes were cold, as if she wanted to see a hole through her body.
He said coldly: "You knew I would come."
Qin Ruolan sneered and said, "I know you won't miss any opportunity to torture me. After all, now you win."
"I won?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows: "What did I win?"
“…”
Hearing her words, the despair in Qin Ruolan's eyes deepened. She smiled sadly and said, "Why do you still have to say all this? I was the one who told you that I was special in his eyes. Now, he has lost his memory and remembers nothing. He is only close to you. Of course you want to take this opportunity to take revenge on me. I also knew that this day would come."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her as if she were a monster.
After a long moment, she sneered.
"So, you think I'm torturing you for the Emperor's sake, to 'avenge my past humiliation'?"
"Isn't it?"
Qin Ruolan smiled sadly. This thought made her even more unwilling to yield. She straightened her back, trying not to look too embarrassed, and making herself look like someone who could not be defeated. She said calmly, "Now that you have his favor, of course you can do whatever you want."
Nan Yan held the armrest of the chair, slowly stood up, walked in front of her, and looked down at her.
Although Nan Yan was not a very tall person, at this moment, when she looked down at her, Qin Ruolan felt as if she was the mud under her feet.
That look made her hair stand on end.
Nan Yan said word by word: "Then, when you had his favor, what did you do to me and the Jian family?"
Qin Ruolan's expression changed.
This incident was also a thorn buried in her heart. When Si Nanyan slapped her in public at the gate of Jinlou Villa in Hecheng, this thorn also pierced her heart.
These days, she kept comforting herself that this matter had nothing to do with her.
After all, the Jian family was not destroyed by the emperor. Even if he told about Jian Ruocheng and Si Nanyan, it was because of their own misconduct and had nothing to do with him.
However, facing Nan Yan's sharp gaze, she was still a little timid and subconsciously turned her face away: "What did I do? I just told the emperor the truth!"
“…”
"The Jian family was wiped out. It wasn't me, and certainly not the emperor, who did it. Do you still want to frame me for this and use it as an opportunity to torture me?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her righteous look and laughed out of anger.
But when she smiled, she gritted her teeth, and the word "ferocious" was revealed from the corners of her eyes, eyebrows, and every inch of her skin.
"You told the Emperor—the 'truth'?!"
