Chapter 2081 Closing Chengqian Palace
Before getting in the car, Nan Yan turned around and said to Gu Tingqiu, "Uncle, no matter how this matter is resolved, please inform me first about Qi Qing's placement."
Hearing her say this, Gu Tingqiu's face darkened.
He said softly, "This old minister understands."
Nan Yan nodded and got into the car. Soon, the imperial concubine's carriage left the Gu Mansion.
After the convoy disappeared at the end of the long street, everyone stood up. Gu Yiyou stood behind Gu Tingqiu, somewhat puzzled, and asked softly, "Father, isn't this matter best resolved? Why do the Imperial Concubine and father look so worried?"
“…”
Gu Tingqiu's breath sank, and he said coldly, "Solve? Is it that easy to solve?"
Gu Yiyou was stunned, but Gu Tingqiu had already turned around and walked into the Gu Mansion.
He was still a little confused when a heavy hand was placed on his shoulder from behind. He turned around and saw it was Tong Sinian.
These days, Tong Sinian hardly went out due to recuperation and a series of other things. He only came out today when the imperial concubine came.
At this moment, he shook his head at Gu Yiyou: "You, don't be so anxious."
Gu Yiyou said: "I don't understand."
As they spoke, the people at the door had dispersed one after another, and the two of them slowly walked into the palace. Tong Sinian said, "This matter only has a superficial result. The King of Wei can indeed clear the stigma brought by those rumors, but Qiqing is different. She is a girl."
“…”
"Girls always suffer in this kind of thing."
“…”
"Even though it wasn't a private meeting, and not as bad as everyone was saying, she was still alone with the King of Wei."
“…”
"Moreover, he was discovered in that situation."
“…”
"Qi Qing's reputation is also ruined."
“…”
"Now the matter has been resolved, but I'm afraid that Qiqing's future will be—"
Having said that, he shook his head slightly.
Gu Yiyou felt very heavy-hearted when he heard this. He said, "So, isn't Qi Qing's future really hopeless?"
Tong Sinian glanced at him and said nothing.
The two people walked into the Gu Mansion silently.

Nan Yan's men rode at full speed and finally returned to the palace before dark.
Ran Xiaoyu helped her get off the carriage and said, "Your Highness, please go back and rest. You are so hot that your clothes are almost soaked."
Nan Yan just let out a breath.
But he said: "Don't worry."
"What?"
"Let's go to the Imperial Study first. The Emperor should still be there."
"My lady, you've been busy all day. Your body can't handle it."
“…”
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your children."
Hearing that she was almost getting angry with him, Nan Yan laughed and said, "Alright, I understand. I just wanted to go and see the emperor. Why, you won't even let me see the emperor?"
“…”
Hearing her say this, Ran Xiaoyu was helpless.
He just sighed deeply: "Your Majesty really has a lot of crooked ideas."
After saying that, he took a fan from the hand of the person next to him, and while gently fanning Nan Yan with cool breeze, he accompanied her to the imperial study.
Not long after I reached the door, I saw a familiar figure walking out of the imperial study.
It was Ye Zheng.
He had been busy all day, and the usually energetic man now showed a hint of fatigue on his face, with sweat dripping down his forehead. After leaving the imperial study, he let out a long sigh and turned to leave. When he looked up, he saw Nan Yan and the others.
Hurrying over to salute.
"Greetings, Madam Noble Consort."
"Get up."
Nan Yan looked down at him and asked, "Are you here to report that matter to the Emperor?"
Ye Zheng said, "Yes. Does the Majesty know about this as well?"
"I'm at the Gu Mansion. Please send someone to pass on the message. I know about it."
"I was planning to report to the Emperor first, and then to the Empress. This way I can save myself a trip."
"You should go back and rest quickly. You are very tired today."
Ye Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I can't go back yet."
"What? Is there anything else?"
"The Emperor has issued an order to close Chengqian Palace."
"What?"
Nan Yan was startled, her eyes wide open in astonishment. Ye Zheng said, "I was just about to go and fetch Her Royal Highness the Princess and take her to Her Majesty's Yikun Palace."
It would naturally be a good thing to let Xinping return to Yikun Palace.
but--
Nan Yan frowned: "Why do you want to close Chengqian Palace?"
"The Emperor didn't say anything, he just said that from today on, no one can enter or leave Chengqian Palace, let alone—"
Having said this, he leaned close to Nan Yan's ear and whispered, "You can't tell His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei about any news outside."
Nan Yan's breath sank slightly.
"You mean, the King of Wei still doesn't know what's happening outside?"
"certainly."
“…”
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Although he revealed some information when he asked him for the letter, Zhu Chengxuan knew nothing about Si Muzhen's disappearance, her death, and a series of other events.
In other words, he won't know that the matter has been "resolved".
I just thought that I and Gu Qiqing were still hurt by the rumors.
And now, Zhu Feng closed Chengqian Palace just to make him think so forever.
She seemed to understand something, thought for a moment, and then said, "If you want to go, go quickly. It's almost dark, and I'm afraid Xinping will be asleep soon."
"Your Majesty, are you not coming?"
"I'm going to see the Emperor first. Send Xinping to Yikun Palace and let Tongyun and the others take care of her. Tell her that I'll be back soon."
"I understand."
After saying that, Ye Zheng left.
Only then did Nan Yan enter the imperial study.
When I walked in, I saw Zhu Feng looking at the memorial paper under the flickering candlelight, with a large pile of papers beside him.
It seems that not much government affairs were handled during the day.
Although no one knows what he is busy with during the day, the matter between King Wei and Qi Qing alone is enough to make people anxious and worried. Today, the news of Simuzhen's death came.
I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zhu Feng to have some free time.
Nan Yan walked over and saluted him: "Your Majesty."
As soon as Zhu Feng saw her, he threw the letter aside, walked over to help her up, and said, "How come you're still running around when your belly is so big?"
He took Nan Yan's hand and led her to a chair nearby and she sat down.
She laughed and said, "I went back and asked the Emperor for permission, and he approved it. Why are you settling accounts with me now?"
“You—”
Zhu Feng shook his head.
Nan Yan smiled and was about to say something to him, but suddenly, she smelled a faint scent of medicine in the imperial study.
She sniffed lightly.
Zhu Feng looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Nan Yan also glanced at him and forced a smile, "Did I make a mistake? Why do I seem to smell something medicinal?"
