Chapter 1979: Suffer in silence?
Ran Xiaoyu stood aside, her face darkening: "My Lady, do you want to—"
Before she could finish her words, Nan Yan suddenly raised her hand.
Ran Xiaoyu immediately quieted down.
At this moment, Nan Yan turned to look at Xue Yun, who had a complicated expression. He suddenly smiled at her and said, "Master Xue."
Xue Yun immediately raised his head and asked, "What are your instructions, Imperial Concubine?"
Nan Yan looked at her for a while, then said, "The people here are all my own people."
“…”
"If this matter gets out and other people know about it, I'm afraid it will be said that Master Xue said it."
“……!”
Upon hearing this, Xue Yun immediately understood.
He hurriedly said, "This, this is your Majesty's private matter. How dare I go out and talk nonsense about it?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "That's it."
“…”
"I also know that Master Xue comes from a prominent family, so he's certainly not like those people out there who like to gossip. Naturally, no one else will know about what happened today."
"Yes, of course."
“If anyone else knew about it, it would naturally be on Master Xue.”
"I understand."
As he said this, Xue Yun's forehead was slightly sweaty.
Nan Yan nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to invite Master Xue to come over and have a good chat, but I didn't expect the timing to be wrong. Listen to Fu--"
The young eunuch stepped forward immediately after hearing the blessing.
Nan Yan said, "Send Master Xue back well."
"yes."
Tingfu obeyed the order and raised his hand politely to Xue Yun: "Mr. Xue, please come in."
Xue Yun also bowed to Nan Yan and said, "I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he followed Tingfu away.
After they all left, the smile on Nan Yan's face slowly faded. Her eyes were cold as she looked at the fruit Xue Yun had placed on the table before he left. Perhaps fearing that she would be affected again, Aunt Tongyun immediately said, "Nian Qiu, take it away quickly. By the way, throw away all the fruits that fell from the trees outside. No matter what kind of fruit they are, throw them all away."
"Why."
Nian Qiu hurried over, grabbed it and was about to throw it away.
At this moment, Nan Yan suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Nian Qiu stopped, and Aunt Tongyun turned around and looked at her: "My Lady, is there anything else?"
Nan Yan said, "Bring it here for me to have a look."
Nian Qiu carefully brought it over. Aunt Tongyun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please be careful. Young Master Xue has peeled the fruit. The smell must be stronger than before."
Nan Yan raised her hand and covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief. She looked at the seemingly insignificant fruit in Nian Qiu's hand, and after a while, she smiled.
"Such a small thing can actually be used to murder me."
“…”
"It shows that human hearts are unpredictable."
“…”
"If you want to harm someone, there's nothing you can't use."
Aunt Tongyun frowned and said, "Your Highness is pregnant. Don't think about those vile people, let alone these vile things. Report everything to the Emperor and let him make the final decision."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a while, but just shook her head lightly.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her: "My Lady——?"
Nan Yan said, "The matter of Thermidor has just ended. The situation has finally stabilized, and I don't want it to be disrupted again because of a small 'fruit'."
Ran Xiaoyu's brows knitted together: "Madam, are you going to swallow your anger?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan looked up at her.
Smiling slightly, "Am I the kind of person who will swallow my anger?"
