Chapter 2993 Be careful not to cut your tongue
The lights in the two people's room were on all night.
Ruoshui and the others woke up early in the morning and were surprised to find that both of them had not slept yet. They did not dare to go in and disturb them. They only took a short nap in the early morning. After a while, Zhu Feng got up.
He instructed everyone not to disturb the imperial concubine, as she wanted to rest, and then he dressed neatly and went out.
Nan Yan rested in the room and slept for the whole day.
By the time she got up, it was already afternoon.
Ruoshui and the others brought in the hot water and towels they had prepared long ago to help her get up and wash. Nan Yan's eyes were still a little red. After washing her face, she sat in front of the dressing table and let Ruoshui comb her hair.
Ruoshui looked at the sky outside and said softly, "My Lady, it will be dark soon. You don't need to comb your hair into a bun, right?"
"no,"
Nan Yan said, "It's better to clean it up."
"yes."
Ruoshui didn't know either. It was already this late. Was Nanyan still going out?
But she still combed Nan Yan's hair obediently. The neat bun made her look much better. After combing her hair, the meal was delivered from the kitchen. It was a table of very light dishes. The only oily or meaty thing was a plate of rouge goose breast. Even the shrimp balls and chicken skin soup had the oil on it skimmed off.
Nan Yan laughed and said, "Why are you so plain?"
Ruoshui said, "The Emperor instructed us after he woke up early. Your Majesty stayed up all night last night, so today's meal shouldn't be too greasy, otherwise it will be bad for your health."
"oh."
Hearing this, although she still felt that the food was too plain, Nan Yan couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
Since it was Zhu Feng's instruction, she sat down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Ruoshui has been waiting by the side.
After staying up all night and sleeping for most of the day, she was indeed hungry. After eating a bowl of rice, she still felt it was not enough, so she added another half bowl of rice and soaked it in soup. It tasted particularly sweet. After eating something, she felt a little more energetic. Then she asked, "Where is the emperor?"
Ruoshui glanced at her carefully and said, "Your Majesty, please go out."
"one person?"
"Follow, follow the master."
When she said this, Ruoshui herself hesitated and stammered. Nanyan glanced at her but didn't ask any more questions. She just said, "You haven't come back yet?"
Ruoshui glanced at her and asked cautiously, "Does your Majesty know where the Emperor and Master went?"
Nan Yan said: "Of course."
"So, where did they go?"
“…”
Nan Yan finished her meal, took another sip of soup, and then looked at Ruo Shui with a half-smile: "Girl, you shouldn't ask so many questions."
Upon hearing this, Ruoshui's expression changed.
Indeed, as a maidservant beside the imperial concubine, the most taboo thing is to ask about the emperor's affairs. In the past, she was very well-behaved in the palace and would never ask questions that she shouldn't ask. This time, she was indeed overstepping her bounds.
but--
She looked at Nan Yan with difficulty, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and just bit her lower lip hard.
Nan Yan asked, "What's wrong?"
Ruoshui was speechless.
She remembered seeing Xu Miaoming walking towards the backyard last night. Although this matter certainly could not be concealed from the emperor and the imperial concubine, and since she had let the emperor and the imperial concubine live in her own house, Xu Miaoming could not have any intention of murdering them - at least, Ruoshui herself thought so, but for some reason, she almost did not sleep the whole night last night. Thinking back on what had happened in the past few days made her suffer.
Seeing her troubled expression, Nan Yan said calmly, "If you feel uncomfortable, go and rest. I see your eyes are red, so I guess you didn't sleep well either."
Ruoshui lowered her head.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside.
Zhu Feng is back.
As soon as she saw him walk in, Nan Yan immediately stood up and saluted him. Zhu Feng just raised his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be polite. Then he looked at the food on the table and said, "Have you eaten?"
Nan Yan asked, "Has the Emperor also eaten?"
"Well, it's still in Jiuqu Tower."
"I heard that Taoist Master Miaoming also went there?"
"She's considered an in-between. It's certainly better to have her here."
"So, is it done?"
"Um,"
Zhu Feng looked up at her, was silent for a long time, and finally said, "It's done."
"when?"
"Three days later."
"Then, the food that the Emperor promised to give them—"
"I've asked Li Bushan to go get it, and it will be delivered early tomorrow morning."
"I understand."
Ruoshui stood by and listened to their conversation. She was a little confused and had no idea what was going on. After Zhu Feng finished speaking, he seemed a little tired - after all, he had also been up all night. Nan Yan had at least managed to catch up on half a day's sleep, but he had hardly closed a wink.
Nan Yan immediately said, "Your Majesty, please go and rest."
After saying that, she walked over and took Zhu Feng's arm, pulling him towards the bed. Zhu Feng didn't refuse. He took her hand and walked to the bed and sat down. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "What about you?"
Nan Yan said: "I have rested well and nothing is wrong now."
"Then, will you accompany me?"
"The emperor is such a grown man, but he still needs someone to accompany him to sleep."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I will come over later to accompany the emperor."
Zhu Feng frowned slightly: "Hmm? What are you going to do?"
Nan Yan said, "I should also tell Xiaoyu about this."
Zhu Feng felt his eyes were still a little dry and was about to rub them, but when he heard this, he paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, explain it to her clearly and let her know too."
"Then your Majesty, please rest first."
Nan Yan helped him take off his clothes and hung them aside. She watched Zhu Feng fall asleep, and personally brewed a cup of tea and put it aside. After she had settled everything, she turned around and walked out.
Ruoshui still followed her, and the two of them walked towards Ran Xiaoyu's house.
Just as he reached the gate, he saw two girls in white walking by, holding a whisk and a dress in their hands. It was obvious that Xu Miaoming had just changed into them. As they walked, they whispered, "Xiaoguang, have you heard? The Imperial Concubine is going to Xingluo Lake in person!"
"What? Imperial Concubine? Who said that?!"
"Xiao Qing said so. She heard it when she went to Jiuqu Tower."
"His Majesty the Emperor actually allowed the Imperial Concubine, a woman, to go to Xingluo Lake. This, this, this is crazy, right?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, or someone will hear you and cut off your tongue!"
"Oh my, what are you talking about? How can you let a woman go to such a dangerous place? And the Imperial Concubine at that? The Emperor is so afraid of death that he doesn't go himself and lets the Imperial Concubine go. Is there any truth to this?"
"I told you to keep your voice down, and you still kept talking!"
Hearing these words, Ruoshui was stunned, staring at Nanyan with wide eyes: "Your Majesty, the emperor… he asked you to go to Xingluo Lake?!"
