Chapter 463 The Child's Fate is Dependable
Yan Changfeng glanced at his left shoulder; his clothes were soaked with blood. He hadn't had time to bandage his wound or change clothes when he rushed back.
She quickly changed into a dark-colored outfit so that even if blood flowed out, it wouldn't be easily noticed.
Yan Changfeng frowned slightly. "No need."
Yan Changfeng hid the medicine in his hand and said to the old eunuch beside him, "Spread the word that I will go to Anle Palace tonight."
The old eunuch naturally understood that Yan Changfeng had adopted the suggestion of Jiedushi Zhang Liang; otherwise, he wouldn't have kept the woman and deliberately arranged for her to stay in Anle Palace.
But he wondered if this was too hasty, and he also felt that this tactic might not work on the queen.
But the old eunuch didn't say much, only bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
at night.
Yan Changfeng deliberately led his entourage around Changle Palace and to Anle Palace, which was not far away.
The palanquin landed at the entrance of Anle Palace. Yan Changfeng alighted from the palanquin and looked in the direction of Changle Palace.
"Your Highness, Her Majesty went to bed early this morning," the old eunuch said softly. "Her Majesty knew about your visit to Anle Palace this morning."
Yan Changfeng withdrew his gaze. "Did the Queen say anything?"
The old eunuch said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Empress did not say anything, and she doesn't seem unhappy at all; she's the same as before."
The old eunuch glanced at Yan Changfeng as he spoke, then immediately changed the subject, "However, people can all pretend."
"A person as intelligent and proud as Her Majesty would naturally be even less willing to let others know her inner thoughts."
Yan Changfeng paused for a moment, "You mean, she's jealous, but she's deliberately pretending not to care?"
The old eunuch bent over even more. "This old servant is just guessing."
"Will the King go to Anle Palace to rest again today?"
Yan Changfeng glanced into Anle Palace through the doorway and said, "Prepare the carriage and return to Yangxin Hall."
Regardless of whether Ningning has feelings for him or not, he cannot enter this Anle Palace. If he does, Ningning's initial affection for him will turn into disappointment.
It's best not to test things out.
The old eunuch's words reminded him that Ningning had always been a proud person. If he were to step into the Anle Palace today, there would probably be no possibility between Pei Yanchuan and the others in the future.
"Send this woman back to the military governor tomorrow."
Yan Changfeng, seated in the sedan chair, gave instructions to the old eunuch.
"yes."
"Go and summon the head maid of Chang Le Palace. I have something to say to you."
"yes."
soon.
Rong Pei, the head maid of Chang Le Palace, stepped forward to pay her respects, saying, "This servant greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."
Yan Changfeng put down his pen, looked up at Rong Pei, and asked, "How has the Queen been these past few days?"
"Your Majesty, Her Majesty still has a poor appetite and seems particularly interested in the food of Dongling. In addition, Her Majesty went back to Changle Palace and found a few people who had been to Dongling to inquire about Dongling."
"He also asked about the Western Xia, and about his own past."
"What did you all say?"
"We have told Your Majesty as Your Majesty instructed us, and we have not said anything that should not be said. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Rong Pei was an elder in the palace and one of Yan Changfeng's most trusted people.
That puts my mind at ease.
"I've always trusted you to handle things," Yan Changfeng said. "Is Her Majesty acting any different today?"
Rong Pei glanced at the old eunuch beside Yan Changfeng. They were old men who had entered the palace together, and they could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.
Rong Pei Mama understood that Yan Changfeng wanted to know how the Queen would react after learning that he had placed a woman in the harem.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother..."
"How is she?" Yan Changfeng leaned forward slightly and asked anxiously.
"Her Majesty is no different from usual."
After Rong Pei finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief and added, "Her Majesty also said that since she is currently pregnant, it would be a good thing for the harem to have another person to take care of His Highness."
Yan Changfeng leaned back, slumping on the throne, showing no signs of a superior, but rather like a heartbroken young man.
He knew that only someone who didn't love someone would be so generous; if someone truly liked someone, they would never share them.
Rong Pei and the old eunuch lowered their heads, both holding their breath and remaining silent.
After a long while, Yan Changfeng, as if having made a great decision, took out the medicine he had previously hidden from his robes and handed it over.
"Take these medicines," Yan Changfeng said. A eunuch handed a small packet of medicine to the old woman, who took it.
Yan Changfeng continued, "This medicine is added to the Queen's meals every day."
Rong Pei knew a little about pharmacology. She put it under her nose and smelled it, her expression changing slightly.
This medicine will not be life-threatening with long-term use, but it will make people weak, especially pregnant women, and the children born afterward will also be weak.
Yan Changfeng said coldly, "The Queen has been being watched by some people with ulterior motives lately. We can't let her leave the palace anymore. This is the only way I can do it."
"Does the nanny understand?"
Rong Pei immediately kowtowed and replied, "Your Majesty, this old servant understands."
"It's good that you understand, Granny."
"But Your Majesty, the Empress herself understands pharmacology, and this old servant is afraid... that the Empress might discover it."
“You won’t notice if you add a little less each day,” Yan Changfeng said. “Remember, nothing can happen to the Queen. I just want her to be a little weaker.”
"Yes, this old servant understands. This old servant has one more thing..." the nanny asked cautiously, "The child in the Princess's womb..."
If the mother takes this medicine for a long period of time, the unborn child may be weak, or even die in utero...
Yan Changfeng paused, and after a long while slowly said, "The child's fate is up to heaven. I only care that the Queen is safe."
"Does the nanny understand?"
When Rong Pei met Yan Changfeng's sinister gaze, she immediately kowtowed and said, "This old servant understands."
Meanwhile, Pei Yanchuan searched the streets for a long time but couldn't find Jiang Wanning, and didn't return to the restaurant until late at night.
Mo Mo couldn't bear to see Pei Yanchuan like this. "Your Highness, it's a good thing that the Princess is still alive."
"The princess will regain her memory sooner or later."
Pei Yanchuan's hair was disheveled, and he held a wine pot in his hand, but he did not respond.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Mo Mo asked.
After a long pause, Pei Yanchuan slowly stood up. "Pack your things and go back to Dongling."
"No, go...go back to Dongling? Your Highness, are we going back now and abandoning the Princess?"
“Yan Changfeng will definitely be more cautious now. I know Ningning too well. If she has any doubts, she will definitely try to find a way to verify them. But Yan Changfeng will definitely stop her without leaving a trace.”
"I may disregard my own safety, but I cannot disregard Ningning's safety."
