Chapter 885: Conferring the title of Lipin
When Wu Wan found out about this, she immediately started making a scene.
However, it was rotten by Gao Yurong.
She said, "This matter is of great importance. Madam, please do not act rashly. Once you have thoroughly investigated the matter, it will not be too late to settle the score with that bitch."
"That makes sense."
Wu Wan nodded and immediately sent someone down to investigate.
After all, she had Duke Cheng behind her, so unlike Nan Yan, the investigation was much faster. It only took a day for the news to be passed back.
The little chess piece stood in front of her and told her the result.
The more Wu Wan listened, the more gloomy her face became.
"This bitch!"
She slammed her palm down on the table, causing the teacups on the table to bounce. She gritted her teeth and said, "How dare you go behind my back, behind the Empress's back, and deliver tea to the Emperor every day, showing off your flirtiness!"
Although, when she said this, she did not consider at all that other people in the harem, including herself, did the same.
Gao Yurong was listening nearby and just frowned.
After a while, she said, "My lady, I'm afraid that showing off your courtesy and flirting are still minor matters."
“…”
"The Imperial Concubine also said before that this Feng Zhaoyi has been serving tea to the Emperor all the time."
“…”
"The emperor is like this now, with only her in his eyes and no one else in his. Is there something wrong with the tea?"
When Wu Wan heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After all, this is not the same "sin" as "showing off one's courtesy" or "flirting".
She said, "Does she dare to drug the emperor?"
Gao Yurong said, "If it were an ordinary concubine in the harem, she wouldn't have the courage to do this, but I'm afraid she might take the risk."
“…”
"Although the forbidden drugs in this harem are strictly controlled and are not allowed to appear, there is no guarantee that she would really do this to gain the emperor's favor."
“…”
"Besides, didn't the Duke also tell me about the clues he found? I'm afraid there's something seriously wrong with the tea."
Wu Wan said: "If this is the case, we can't just sit back and watch!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the little palace maid Xiyu hurried in: "Your Majesty."
Wu Wan frowned: "What's the matter with all the panic?"
Xiyu ran out of breath and bowed to her and Gao Yurong, then said, "Just now, news came from Yonghe Palace that the Emperor has issued an edict to the Empress that Feng Zhaoyi will be canonized as Lipin in two days."
"What?!"
When Wu Wan heard this, she was shocked again.
Gao Yurong also frowned.
The two looked at each other, and Gao Yurong said, "It seems that there is really a big problem."
“…”
"This Feng Zhaoyi has only been serving the emperor for a short time, and she has been canonized as Lipin."
“…”
"If this continues, it's not impossible that the Emperor will appoint her as a concubine after some time."
Wu Wan gnashed her teeth, "She, she's from the Western Regions!"
Gao Yurong asked, "So what if she's from the Western Regions? Didn't you suspect Si Nanyan was from Neng before? Now, hasn't she been canonized as the Imperial Concubine?"
“……!”
Wu Wan took a deep breath and said, "Okay!"
Her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.
"Two days later...right."

At the same time they received the news, Nan Yan also received the news.
She sat in front of the bed in Yiku Palace, holding Xiao Xiaoping in her arms. Her face was slightly pale, just like the ice plate next to her, exuding a chill.
Although the weather was scorching hot, she didn't feel the heat at all.
There is only bone-chilling cold.
When Aunt Tongyun heard the news, she frowned and looked at her. After a long while, she said softly, "My Lady, can you please take the ice tray away?"
Nan Yan looked up at her and smiled faintly, "No need."
“…”
"Although I don't use it, Xiaoxin Ping can use it."
After saying this, he lowered his head to look at his daughter who was sleeping soundly in his arms and said softly, "No matter what happens outside, as long as my daughter is fine, that's all."
Seeing her like this, Aunt Tongyun sighed and walked out.
Ran Xiaoyu walked in.
Her expression naturally became more aggressive. She walked to Nan Yan and said angrily, "Your Majesty, the Emperor really—"
Nan Yan smiled calmly.
Ran Xiaoyu whispered, "Didn't Her Majesty find out about that matter before? Why didn't Concubine Kang and the others take any action?"
Nan Yan said, "Although Concubine Kang is impulsive and easily angered, Gao Yurong, who is by her side, is no simple character. They must investigate this matter themselves and not just believe my words."
"So, what happens after they find out?"
"After we investigate thoroughly?" Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would naturally expose this matter at the most critical moment."
“…”
"Not only must Concubine Feng be completely powerless to resist, but the Emperor must also be unable to even favor her."
Hearing this, for some reason, Ran Xiaoyu felt even more uneasy.
She said, "Your Majesty, will you really favor her?"
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly, "Do you still remember the past, when the Emperor only had me in his heart, and how many presumptuous things I did, but he never held me accountable, didn't he?"
Ran Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, then immediately said, "But your Majesty is different from those women who only use their beauty to please men."
“…”
"Your Majesty has done so many great things by the Emperor's side!"
Nan Yan smiled bitterly, then said, "It was done, but it's all in the past."
“…”
"No one will remember the past for long. Most people in this world lack great wisdom, only short-sightedness. In other words, they only focus on the present. As long as you are useless in the present, then you are nothing."
Seeing her like this, Ran Xiaoyu felt distressed and whispered, "Your Majesty, there must be something wrong with the tea. The Emperor must have been deceived by her tricks. I believe that as long as the Emperor is sober, he only has Your Majesty in his heart!"
Nan Yan glanced at her and smiled.
After a while, she sighed and said, "Whether it is true or not, we'll have to wait and see in two days."
"Two days later?"
Nan Yan nodded and said, "In two days, the Emperor will confer the title of Lipin on Feng Zhaoyi."
“…”
"If Concubine Kang really wants to do that, then that would be the best time."
After hearing this, Ran Xiaoyu's heart suddenly warmed up again.
This is the first time.
She even thought Wu Wan was a little cute.
It seems that what Nan Yan said is really true. People only look at what is in front of them.
He said hurriedly: "Well, what about us? What should we do?"
Seeing her anxious look, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile, then thought calmly and said, "Let's just wait and see what happens."
“…”
"If things are really as we hope, and the emperor is just deceived by a demon, then we will just do what we should do."
Ran Xiaoyu immediately nodded and said, "Yes!"
