Chapter 745 My man, of course I feel bad
Nan Yan figured this out, but remained silent for a long time. Then she slowly raised her head and looked at Qin Ruolan.
There was a distinct coldness in his eyes.
She said, "Who asked you to say these words to me, Concubine Ning?"
“…”
"Duke Cheng?"
“…”
"He wanted to restore Concubine Zhuang to her position, but he didn't have the chance. Concubine Zhuang was demoted because of me, so he wanted you to talk to me and let me raise this matter with the emperor, right?"
“…”
"I don't know when Concubine Ning actually colluded with Duke Cheng."
Qin Ruolan was also stunned for a moment.
But she immediately understood, a hint of a sneer flashed across her face, and then she said, "The Imperial Concubine believes that I am colluding with Duke Cheng."
“…”
"Does your Majesty think that I'm here to lobby for Duke Cheng?"
"What else?"
“…”
Qin Ruolan took a deep breath, then looked at Nan Yan intently, her bright eyes filled with an unprecedented solemnity. She said, "Your Highness, do you remember what I told you at the Imperial Mausoleum?"
When Nan Yan mentioned the Huangling Temple, her expression immediately froze.
The words she had said immediately rang in my ears——
"I know that you've been traveling with him all over the country these days, even to the battlefield. You even helped him during the Battle of Peking."
“I’ve done these things too.”
…
Thinking of what she had said to herself, Nan Yan's breathing became heavier.
Because she never forgot these words.
It's like a thorn, always piercing my heart.
Although it is not fatal, the occasional pain will always pull me away from my happiness.
I'm afraid all this is just a dream.
Seeing her in a daze and not saying anything, Qin Ruolan took a deep breath and then said, "Compared to you, being by his side, under his protection, receiving his love, being a carefree concubine - I know better how to help him."
“…”
"I understand better how to be a woman worthy of him!"
“…”
"Your Highness, although there are many women around His Majesty the Emperor, women are different from each other."
“…”
"I've said it before, I used to be special."
“…”
"This 'special' doesn't just refer to his favor."
Nan Yan felt that the thorn in her heart suddenly turned into a knife.
The pain made her breathing quicken.
However, she still refused to show any sign of weakness. She took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, why don't you come forward yourself?"
Qin Ruolan's face darkened.
Those bright eyes seemed to freeze into ice in an instant.
After a long silence, she said calmly, "Because now, it's you who is pregnant, not me."
Nan Yan's brows furrowed again.
This time, Qin Ruolan didn't wait for her to say anything. She stood up and said, "I've already said this. What to do is of course up to the Imperial Concubine herself."
“…”
"You can continue to be his favored concubine, carefree, and let him bear all the pressure."
“…”
"You decide how to do it."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Nan Yan sat in the chair. It was not that she didn't want to get up, but at this time, her hands and feet were a little weak and she couldn't stand up at all. She watched her push open the door and leave here under Ran Xiaoyu's hostile gaze.
Immediately, Ran Xiaoyu ran in again.
"My lady, how are you?"
She walked to Nan Yan's side and saw that Nan Yan's face was even paler than before. Her brows were twisted into a knot and she said, "Your Majesty, what did Concubine Ning say to you?"
“…”
"Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to call the doctor over?"
"No need," Nan Yan waved her hand. Her body felt a little weak, and she slowly leaned against Ran Xiaoyu. "I'll be fine after a rest."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu immediately felt that although Nan Yan should not have suffered any harm, Qin Ruolan must have said something that had hit her hard.
She immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, if she says anything nonsense, I will go and tell the Emperor!"
"no!"
Although Nan Yan had no strength left, she reflexively grabbed her wrist when she heard that she was going to find Zhu Feng.
"You're not allowed to go!"
“…”
"And don't even mention to His Majesty that Concubine Ning came to see me today."
"Why?"
Nan Yan raised her head, looked at her anxious expression, and said solemnly: "The emperor has to deal with so many important matters every day, he is already very annoyed. Do you think he should be asked to take care of these trivial matters in the harem?"
“…”
After hearing what she said, Ran Xiaoyu was speechless.
Indeed, no matter how much she cared about Si Nanyan, she still knew very well what Zhu Feng, as the emperor, should and should not do.
After hesitating for a while, she said, "This servant, this servant, just feels that every time Her Majesty sees Concubine Ning, she becomes depressed. It seems that that person exists only to make Her Majesty unhappy."
Hearing her say this, Nan Yan laughed instead.
But there was a hint of bitterness in that smile.
He said: "In life, there is no such thing as smooth sailing. There are always ups and downs. It is normal to have such a person."
“…”
"Don't you also get a headache every time you see Ye Zheng?"
As soon as she heard Ye Zheng's name, Ran Xiaoyu's expression changed immediately, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red: "Then, how can they be the same?!"
"Oh? What's the difference?"
Being looked at teasingly by Nan Yan, Ran Xiaoyu became more and more uncomfortable.
He quickly shook off her hand: "I won't talk about this with the Queen, you are not serious."
Nan Yan laughed.
With this smile, the feeling of tightness in my chest was much better.
She said, "Okay, I'm fine. I want to rest for a while alone. Xiaoyu, you can go down."
"My Lady, do you really not want this servant to accompany you?"
"I'm fine."
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her, a little worried, but still obediently turned around and left.
Nan Yan walked slowly to the bed, leaned against the headboard, and recalled what Qin Ruolan had just said to her.
Things are actually not that simple.
The restoration of Concubine Kang to the throne is beneficial to many people, but the biggest disadvantage is herself.
Wu Wan's hatred for herself had become deep-rooted after this demotion, and now, she was pregnant. If something unexpected happened again—
It can be said that Qin Ruolan found a knife that was very handy.
However, the words she just said were like the sound of mosquitoes lingering in your ears on a summer night, which could not be driven away.
And then I thought of Zhu Feng again.
He would never tell himself this.
He always thinks that he is a man and should solve everything by himself.
Even if there is pressure, he will just carry her on his back.
In fact, this is not wrong.
However, Nan Yan remembered that morning when the two of them were facing each other sweetly, she hugged him from behind and said to him softly -
"My man, of course I feel bad."
She murmured, "Of course I feel bad."
