Chapter 2049 Killing without Blood
Today's matter is just...
Seeing Xue Yun's wry smile, Yun Xiang was confused and asked softly, "Master, what's wrong?"
Xue Yun looked up at her, about to speak but stopped talking. After a long while, he said softly, "In the past, I only heard about the fierce overt and covert struggles in the palace. Now, before I even followed the emperor and the imperial concubine into the capital, I can already feel it."
"Open and covert fighting?"
Yun Xiang frowned: "Master, you mean -"
Xue Yun told her what had happened in the past two days.
Yun Xiang broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this and said in panic, "Sir, if this is the case, then you have offended the Empress, haven't you?"
Xue Yun smiled bitterly again.
"I'm afraid so."
"What should I do?"
Yun Xiang was anxious, pacing around the room and nervously saying, "Young Master, you didn't mean it. Besides, it was the Emperor who ordered you to do this. Even if there is a reckoning, it shouldn't be on you."
Xue Yun glanced at her and asked, "Does the Empress dare to go and settle accounts with the Emperor?"
"Well, then this is also the concubine's business."
“…”
"If anyone is looking for someone, they should look for the Imperial Concubine, not you."
Xue Yun lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he said, "If the Queen could find the Imperial Concubine, she wouldn't come to me."
Yun thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.
She murmured, "But I can't take my anger out on you."
“…”
"Sir, how about you go and talk to the Imperial Concubine?"
“…”
"No matter what, you can't be harmed for no reason. At least let her know so that she can help you find a solution."
“…”
Xue Yun was silent for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it."
Although she didn't know why the queen appeared this time, and what happened between the three of them, she clearly remembered the expression on the emperor's face when she went to tell him that the queen had found the imperial concubine and the emperor rushed out without saying a word.
Also, his back looks like a tiger.
No one is allowed to invade the territory.
He doesn't allow anyone to touch his things.
She vaguely felt that the emperor was going to protect the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine...is indeed the most important person in the emperor's heart.
Yun Xiang asked in confusion, "Why forget it?"
Xue Yun looked at her for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of saying that? It's impossible for the Imperial Concubine to go against the Empress just for a small person like me."
“…”
"Besides, she's already over seven months pregnant, so she needs to take good care of the baby."
"But I can't let you suffer like this."
"Okay," Xue Yun said with a smile, "Anyway, I'm going to enter the capital and the palace tomorrow. By then, I'll be working in the Imperial Hospital, and I won't have anything to do with them anymore."
Yun Xiang didn't quite understand and looked at her doubtfully: "Really?"
After all, she was born in Bailong City and did not know anything about the Yan Kingdom court, let alone the close relationship between the Imperial Hospital and the harem. She just believed whatever Xue Yun said.
Xue Yun smiled comfortingly and said, "Really, really, it's okay."
Yun Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and got up to get busy.
Xue Yun slowly moved to the edge of the bed and sat down. The wound on the inside of her thigh was still burning with pain, but the worry in her heart was even heavier.
If before, she still thought that even if Zhu Feng was the emperor, in her eyes, he was just an outstanding man, then now, she can no longer think so naively.
The emperor is the emperor.
Around him were millions of soldiers fighting on the battlefield, civil and military officials who planned and maintained stability, and a queen who was graceful and cunning.
And...his beloved imperial concubine.
If I follow him, I can't stay out of many things.
Just like this "prank", maybe this is just the beginning. I heard that killing people in the palace does not require bloodshed. I am afraid that what happened today is a piece of cake.
Thinking of this, her breathing became heavier.
It seems that her future journey will be many times more difficult than the days she spent in the Xue family in the first half of her life.
She originally thought that she should not take sides and just do things according to her conscience as a doctor, but this time, she listened to the emperor's words and invisibly stood on the opposite side of the queen.
If she reports to the Imperial Concubine again, she will completely become the Imperial Concubine's person.
If that happened, she would really be caught in the vortex of harem struggles.
She doesn't want to.
She just wanted to stay with Zhu Feng - to help him detoxify and do what she wanted to do.
Even if staying by his side is only temporary; even if, after the poison is cured, he no longer needs me and sends me back to Bailong City, it doesn't matter.
As long as I can see him during this period of time, it will be fine.
Xue Yun sat at the head of the bed, lost in thought about his own things, while Yun Xiang was busy in the room, packing clothes for them to wear tomorrow.
After all, we will arrive in Beiping City and enter the palace tomorrow.
They can't be disrespectful.
The two people had their own thoughts, and at this moment, there was a figure outside the door, who was quietly turning around and leaving, and took advantage of the night to quickly run to the palace where Nan Yan lived.
When I walked in, there was still a layer of cold sweat on my forehead.
He kept patting his chest: "Ouch."
Nan Yan turned around and said with a smile, "Are you back?"
The person standing in front of her was none other than Nian Qiu. She walked over and bowed to Nan Yan, then said, "Your Majesty, I am back."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Did you hear anything?"
Although eavesdropping is a basic skill for palace maids, she also likes to inquire about news in the palace, even if it has nothing to do with them, it's fun to listen to it.
However, tonight, there was a surprise.
The imperial concubine, who never liked to pry into other people's news, actually asked her to go and eavesdrop on Master Xue Yun's affairs.
She didn't understand what was so good about Xue Yun's wall.
However, the imperial concubine ordered that he go anyway.
I didn't expect to hear those words.
She told Nan Yan everything she had heard, and finally said, "So it turns out that the reason the Emperor came so quickly yesterday was because Master Xue had passed on the message."
“…”
"Luckily it's him. The Queen is here, so none of us can move around."
“…”
"If it weren't for him, the emperor wouldn't have come so quickly."
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Alright, I understand. You can go down now."
"yes."
Just as Nian Qiu turned to leave, Nan Yan stopped her and ordered, "Don't let anyone else know about this."
Nian Qiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam."
After saying that, he left.
When she walked away, Nan Yan still had a frown on her face, while Ran Xiaoyu beside her silently offered her a cup of tea.
Nan Yan looked up at her with a heavy expression on her face.
I couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What's wrong?"
