Chapter 2157: There is someone on the other side of the palace wall
"Your Majesty..."
“…”
"My Lady."
“…”
"My lady, it's time to get up. It's getting dark."
Nan Yan was sleeping soundly, with a mess of light and shadow in front of her eyes, making her feel dizzy and almost falling into an even worse dream.
But the voice in her ear kept pulling her upwards.
"My Lady."
Feeling a pair of gentle hands gently rocking her, Nan Yan finally struggled to open her eyes and saw a candlelight swaying slightly in front of her.
"……Well?"
She was still a little confused, staring at the candlelight in a daze. After a while, she saw a familiar face from behind the candlelight.
It’s Ran Xiaoyu.
She held up the candlestick, bent over and looked at herself, calling softly: "My Lady, it's time to get up."
“…”
"It's dark now."
“…”
"Didn't the Queen say that we shouldn't sleep too long?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her and listened to her words. He was confused for a while, and suddenly he woke up with a start.
"Oh!"
She hurried to get up, but Ran Xiaoyu immediately reached out to support her and said softly, "My lady, go slowly and be careful of your stomach."
She helped Nan Yan up. Nan Yan looked out the window and saw that it was dark.
My head felt dizzy.
She supported her forehead and asked, "What time is it? How long have I slept?"
"It's the hour of Xu. Your Majesty has slept for two hours."
"So long? Why didn't you call me?"
"Seeing that you are sleeping so soundly, your Majesty, I cannot bear it."
"Why."
Nan Yan looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
I had indeed slept for such a long time without feeling anything at all, luckily I hadn't slept until dawn. But after sleeping for so long, my whole body was inevitably weak and my head was a little groggy.
She said, "Pour me a cup of tea."
Ran Xiaoyu put down the candlestick and immediately went over to make a cup of tea and handed it to her.
After drinking a few sips of tea, I finally felt a little more awake.
Nan Yan was about to turn over and get off the bed when she felt her stomach tighten. She stopped immediately, held Ran Xiaoyu's hand and frowned slightly.
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "What's wrong? Stomachache?"
"Not really, it just tightened a bit."
"Your Majesty has been feeling very tight in her abdomen these past few days."
"It's always like this before the baby is born. Maybe it will happen in the next few days."
Having said that, she looked down at her big belly and said in a threatening tone, "Behave yourself, and wait until your father's business is done before you come out again."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished threatening, he felt his stomach pounding.
"oops!"
Nan Yan couldn't help but let out a low cry.
The child, either with his hand or his foot, hit her in the stomach.
I could feel my whole stomach shaking.
Ran Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good to threaten him. He seems to have a very bad temper."
Nan Yan also laughed.
"Little thing, you have quite a temper."
After she got up, Nian Qiu and the others brought her hot water. After a quick wash, she finally woke up completely. When she looked back, it was already completely dark outside.
As soon as autumn comes, it gets dark quickly.
However, it got dark earlier today than usual.
Seeing Nan Yan constantly looking at the weather outside, Ran Xiaoyu said, "The weather is a little strange this afternoon, and the wind is a lot colder than usual."
"Yeah?"
"Your Majesty, don't you feel it? Be careful not to catch a cold."
As she spoke, she walked over and took out a wind cloak, carefully draping it over Nan Yan.
Nan Yan also straightened her clothes.
She stood in front of the window, watching the wind outside, making the trees in the garden sway continuously, making a rustling sound. The lanterns under the eaves were also swaying, and the light and shadows swayed, giving people a feeling of the mountains shaking and the earth trembling.
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then called out, "Nian Qiu."
Nian Qiu hurried over: "What do you want, Madam?"
"Go to the Imperial Hospital and call Doctor Xue over."
"Now?"
"Well, go quickly."
Nian Qiu seemed a little confused as to why the imperial physician was called over at this time. Although the emperor personally instructed Imperial Physician Xue to be responsible for the imperial concubine's pregnancy, and the imperial concubine could call him over at any time if there was anything, but now, the imperial concubine didn't seem to have any serious problems.
And it’s so late...
She hesitated for a moment and looked at Ran Xiaoyu again.
Ran Xiaoyu nodded at her and said, "Go quickly. Be careful on the road and don't let too many people know."
Nian Qiu immediately understood what was going on.
Said: "Yes."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Another gust of wind blew in from the door, and the candlelight in the room flickered. Ran Xiaoyu closed the window and helped Nan Yan walk to the chair and sit down.
She whispered, "Your Majesty, do you have something to ask Xue Yun?"
Nan Yan's face was calm.
However, because of the flickering candlelight on the table beside her, her eyes were shaking.
It seemed that at this moment, she was also very excited.
It was totally unlike her calm expression.
She was silent for a long time before she said, "I have a little thing to ask her."
Ran Xiaoyu didn't say anything, just watched quietly.
Nian Qiu ran out in the wind and soon arrived at the Imperial Hospital. Because the emperor, the empress, and Concubine Shun had all gone to the great altar, naturally Wang Baizhi and the others had to follow. She and two other imperial physicians were the only ones left in the Imperial Hospital.
Nian Qiu said, "Doctor Xue, the Empress wants you to come over."
Seeing her coming to invite him, and the late hour, Xue Yun was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked, "Is there any movement in the Empress's pregnancy?"
The other two imperial doctors also turned around immediately to look over.
Nian Qiu didn't know what to say. The imperial concubine wanted her to go over for no reason, so she simply said that she was showing signs of pregnancy. Anyway, a pregnant woman at this stage of pregnancy might show signs of pregnancy at any time.
So he said, "That's right, Your Majesty just had a little stomach tightness."
Hearing this, Xue Yun immediately stood up, picked up his medicine box, and put all the prepared things in it.
Then he said to Nian Qiu, "Let's go."
The two men hurried out of the Imperial Hospital.
When their backs disappeared at the door, the two doctors said coldly, "Look at how diligent he is. This time he will achieve great success."
"You didn't even call us out, so what else can you grab if not the first credit?"
"Hmph, let's just see how high he can climb."
"Yes, the higher you climb, the harder you fall. I'm afraid the higher you climb, the harder you fall."
The two men muttered a few words coldly and then dispersed.

Xue Yun followed Nian Qiu, hurriedly walking all the way, and soon arrived at Yikun Palace. Although it was already past the hour of Xu, the gate was naturally still open because the imperial concubine was pregnant and would summon the imperial physician at any time.
Xue Yun walked in immediately.
Nian Qiu also stepped over the threshold, and just as he was about to walk in, he suddenly stopped.
She turned around and glanced back.
Behind him was the pitch-black night, and the crimson palace walls had already blended into the night.
Somehow, she seemed to feel that there was someone on the other side of the palace wall.
