Chapter 741 Why do you care about Qin Ruolan?
Qin Ruolan looked at her for a while.
Then she lightly raised the corners of her cherry-red lips, as if she was smiling, but it was only a faint smile.
She said, "The child belongs to the Imperial Concubine. Naturally, it has nothing to do with me."
“…”
"I am just concerned about the Imperial Concubine and want to express my regards."
Nan Yan stared at her.
After a long while, he said, "I cannot bear the concern of Concubine Ning."
“…”
"Please, Concubine Ning, do not bother me during my pregnancy. Do not even think about the baby in my belly."
“…”
"This is good for you, and it's good for me too."
After saying that, she flicked her sleeves lightly, turned around and left.
Although her voice was low when she said these words, her shaky steps betrayed her inner turmoil when she turned around. Ran Xiaoyu hurried over to support her, and the two of them quickly left.
Qin Ruolan was still standing at the gate.
Her face, which was originally as white as jade, was now pale. She bit her lower lip hard, almost breaking it. It was a long time before she let go.
In addition to the bitten area, her delicate lips were also gradually losing their blood color.
After a long time, she slowly turned around and left.

Nan Yan returned to the room and couldn't help but feel a little breathless.
Ran Xiaoyu quickly reached out and gently supported her chest and back to help her breathe. After a long while, she said, "My lady, there's no need to get angry with someone like her."
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and after a long while, she said, "I've clearly figured it out."
“…”
"I've figured it out. Don't argue with her, and don't bother with her. But—"
“…”
"As soon as I saw her, I couldn't help it."
Ran Xiaoyu was a little confused and said softly, "But, the emperor obviously doesn't like her. When he was in Jinling, he almost ignored her. Now that he's here, he accompanies the queen every day."
“…”
"Why does your Majesty care about her?"
There's really no way I could tell anyone about this kind of thing.
Nan Yan's brows were tightly furrowed, and her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by a dark hand, making it difficult for her to even breathe.
Indeed, on the surface, Concubine Ning posed no threat to him.
But, those words she said, her past with Zhu Feng...
It's impossible for me not to care.
Feeling more and more uncomfortable, Nan Yan suddenly came to her senses and realized that she was still pregnant. Li Langzhong came to take her pulse every day and kept reminding her to stay cheerful and not get angry with others.
Otherwise, it will not be good for the child.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Ran Xiaoyu also said: "My lady, don't think about her anymore. Think about something happy."
As they were talking, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Xiao Shunzi's smiling voice came, saying, "My lady, something happy is coming."
Nan Yan turned around and looked.
I saw Xiao Shunzi walking in happily from outside, followed by several familiar figures.
It turned out to be Aunt Tongyun, Nianqiu, and the little eunuch who came to listen to the blessing!
Nan Yan stood up in surprise: "You guys are here?"
Aunt Tongyun hurriedly brought the two children over to greet her: "Greetings, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
"Get up quickly."
Nan Yan waved at them: "Why are you here?"
Aunt Tongyun stood up, her face beaming. Before she could say anything, the clever Nianqiu beside her chirped, "The Emperor ordered us to be transferred here to take care of the Empress. We didn't know what was going on until we arrived. It turns out she's pregnant."
Nan Yan smiled so hard that her eyes curved.
Aunt Tongyun also came forward happily and bowed to her: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."
Tingfu also said: "Actually, this is also a matter of time."
"that is."
"In my opinion, since the Emperor dotes on the Empress so much, this child is considered late."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Listening to Nianqiu and Tingfu chatting back and forth like a duet, Nanyan couldn't help but laugh. She just said angrily, "Stop being so joking."
Xiao Shunzi was also nearby, laughing for a long time before coming forward and saying, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."
Nan Yan nodded and asked Tingfu to take him out.
At this time, Aunt Tongyun came over and said, "My Lady, I heard that your pregnancy is not very stable, is that right?"
Nan Yan said, "Not really. It was just that the car was very bumpy a few days ago, so I almost slipped."
"That--"
"It's nothing now. I've been recuperating and I'm much better now."
"This time, we servants will serve you well."
"Um."
Because they had just arrived, Nan Yan didn't want to order them to do anything right away, so she asked them to go down and settle down first. However, Aunt Tongyun and Nianqiu were quick and efficient, and they settled everything in a short while and returned to her side.
Ask her what's going on these days.
Nan Yan said, "I didn't know that the emperor asked you to come this time."
"When we received the news, we were also shocked. Fortunately, this time, we followed Master Jian and the others on the journey and arrived quickly."
"The Emperor didn't say a word to me."
"The Emperor is so busy with state affairs that I'm afraid he has forgotten," Aunt Tongyun said, adding softly, "This time we came to Beiping, and we servants are traveling with you all."
"Um."
"On the way, I heard some adults discussing something, and it seemed like they were going to oppose the Emperor's continued expansion of Beiping City."
"oh?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is there such a thing?"
Nian Qiu also came over and said softly, "Because we are on the journey together, we servants will hear a word or two from time to time."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned.
Of course she knew that the construction of Peking City had always been opposed.
The strongest opposition came naturally from officials from the south.
They hoped that the emperor would always focus on the south, after all, the capital was Nanjing. However, Zhu Feng's grand construction of Beiping obviously had other intentions.
Nan Yan said, "Did they say anything else?"
Tingfu came over and said, "Since I often serve the masters, I've heard a lot. Anyway, several masters from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel are discussing submitting a joint letter to the emperor."
“…”
"By the way, they seem to be still trying to pull Master Jane."
“……!”
Nan Yan's heart trembled slightly.
Jian Ruocheng.
Jian Ruocheng was also a native of Jinling, and his entire family was in the south. If the officials in the south all wanted the emperor to focus on Kyoto, then he would naturally be no exception.
Will he also be lured by those officials?
Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "Then, what does Master Jian say?"
