Chapter 2117: A Chance to Turn Things Around, Take a Fight Here
He was so "careful" for himself, but he turned around and helped others "deal with" him. No wonder Zhu Feng was angry.
Nan Yan sighed deeply.
At this time, Ran Xiaoyu walked in. She was originally frightened by Zhu Feng's angry figure walking out. When she came back and saw Nan Yan sighing, she hurriedly asked, "My Lady, what happened?"
“…”
"Why did you make the emperor angry again?"
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and looked up at her. Ran Xiaoyu looked at her pitiful appearance and was silent for a long time before she said softly, "Your Highness is really a worry to me."
After saying that, he helped her walk to the couch on the side and sat her down, and asked someone to pack up the things here.
After the cleanup was completed, hot water was brought in.
After Nan Yan washed up, Ran Xiaoyu helped her to bed. Seeing her leaning against the head of the bed with a heavy look on her face, Ran Xiaoyu also seemed to be worried.
She saw today's events clearly.
Although it seemed on the surface that the King of Wei had dared to speak those words to His Majesty the Emperor, and that he had angered his father, in fact—
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a turning point for the King of Wei.
From what Nan Yan said to the Queen afterwards, she completely understood.
She whispered, "Have you, Her Majesty, completely withdrawn this child from the competition for the crown prince position?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan looked down at her stomach.
After a while, he smiled and agreed.
Ran Xiaoyu's eyes looked deep and solemn. Seeing Nan Yan's expression, which was more relaxed than anyone else, and even relieved, she whispered, "Is it worth it?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at her.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "The emperor wants to canonize this child for me; and I let this child withdraw for the emperor."
“…”
“Nothing is worth it.”
“…”
"That's my heart."
Seeing her like this, Ran Xiaoyu didn't know whether to feel sorry for her, pity the child, or be happy for the King of Wei. After thinking for a long time, she said, "The Emperor is wholeheartedly devoted to the Empress, and the Empress is wholeheartedly devoted to the Emperor's cause. If there were a couple in the world with such a heart, they would be as happy as gods."
“…”
"Why do the Emperor and the Empress have so many hardships?"
Nan Yan looked at her with a smile: "Because there are many ordinary couples in the world, but there are only him and me as the emperor and the imperial concubine."
“…”
“But even so, I still enjoy it.”
"The emperor is still angry now, what should we do?"
Nan Yan blinked and thought for a moment, then said, "He'll eventually calm down. Could it be that he really wants to stay angry until I get angry?"
Ran Xiaoyu laughed.
She gently placed the thin blanket on Nan Yan's body and said softly, "Okay, it's late, your Majesty, go to sleep quickly."
"Um."
After saying that, she extinguished the candle, turned and walked out.
There was silence in the Yiku Palace, and this was almost the quietest place in the entire palace.
Because of what happened tonight, other palaces were already in an uproar.
Especially, Chonghua Palace.
Wu Wan sat in the palace with a gloomy face. A dim candlelight illuminated her somewhat gloomy face. At this time, two people walked in from outside. They were Concubine Chen Lianxiang and her maid Fu'er. The two of them walked in carrying only a small lantern.
Bowing to Wu Wan, he said, "Greetings to Her Majesty Huifei."
Wu Wan rolled her eyes at her impatiently: "I told you long ago to move to Chonghua Palace, but you refused to move and insisted on staying in Yanxi Palace."
“…”
"I've come all this way, and I still have to wait for you!"
Originally, after Gao was convicted, Shufangzhai became empty.
Two days later, after Gao's things were moved out, Wu Wan kindly suggested that Chen Lianxiang move to Chonghua Palace for the convenience of communication, but Chen Lianxiang refused.
At this moment, Chen Lianxiang could only smile and say, "My Lady, please don't misunderstand me."
“…”
"After entering the palace, the situation is unclear. Gao was just convicted and has not yet been dealt with. If I ask to move to Chonghua Palace, it will inevitably give people something to talk about."
“…”
"If people knew about the relationship between me and the Queen, then the Queen would—"
Speaking of this, Wu Wan had nothing to say.
He just said impatiently: "She is so sick, does she still have time to care about you? Humph!"
Chen Lianxiang came over and said softly, "Your Majesty, please do not underestimate the Empress. Although she is silent, she is even more powerful than the Imperial Concubine who can get whatever she wants."
"Um?"
Wu Wan turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Chen Lianxiang asked, "Does the Queen know everything that happened tonight?"
"Of course, I've already sent my little pawn to investigate. It was the family banquet at Yikun Palace, but the Prince of Wei rushed in like a madman and even spoke nonsense to the Emperor."
“…”
"Humph, now I don't know how he will die."
"My lady, this is wrong."
Chen Lianxiang said with a heavy face: "This is the chance for King Wei to turn things around."
"What?"
Wu Wan was startled when she heard this and turned to look at her: "What do you mean?"
Chen Lianxiang said, "The Emperor didn't imprison the Prince of Wei this time because of his secret meeting with Miss Gu. If it was really because of a secret meeting, then the Emperor would never have allowed Gu Tingqiu to bring Miss Gu to the palace for the banquet. It's obvious that the Emperor doesn't take this matter seriously at all."
"Then why did the Emperor lock up the King of Wei?"
"The Emperor imprisoned the Prince of Wei because of his cowardice."
“…”
Hearing this, Wu Wan's eyes lit up.
She remembered that even her father, Duke Chengguo Wu Yingqiu, had once said that Prince Wei was too kind and cowardly and would have difficulty accomplishing great things. It was because of this character flaw that the emperor had always disliked his son.
She said, "Then tonight—"
Chen Lianxiang said, "What happened tonight has greatly changed the emperor and everyone's opinion of the King of Wei."
“…”
"It's obvious that the Emperor is no longer angry with the King of Wei."
"How do you say that?"
"If the Emperor was angry about what Prince Wei said, he should at least have locked Prince Wei up, sealed off Chengqian Palace, and punished the guards and servants there. But the Emperor didn't do that. He simply had Prince Wei sent back to Chengqian Palace without even locking the palace gates."
“…”
"From this attitude, the emperor has a new understanding of the King of Wei."
Wu Wan gasped: "This, this actually helps him."
Chen Lianxiang continued, "Furthermore, I had someone secretly stay outside the Yikun Palace to investigate after the incident and discovered that the Queen and the Imperial Concubine had already made an agreement regarding this matter. After what happened tonight, I'm afraid the King of Wei's position as Crown Prince will become increasingly secure."
"oh?"
Wu Wan said: "The two of them, the two of them actually——"
