"How is Concubine Miao's injury? Has she been well these days?"
It was obvious that Miao Yu was injured because of her, but the other party asked her about her injury calmly.
The palace maids who were taking care of Miao Yu couldn't help but look unhappy.
"Thanks to the Majesty, I have almost recovered."
The answer was so flawless that no one could guess what she was thinking. Miao Yu lowered her chin slightly and did not raise her head to look directly at the seemingly domineering and arrogant Imperial Noble Consort in front of her.
"You are quite clever. I remember your nickname is Ah Ci. It's quite pretty."
A graceful and elegant woman was sitting on a chair trimming irises, but her cold and arrogant tone seemed more like she was saying that Yuxiu was stingy than praising her.
Miao Yu's maids were increasingly indignant for their master, but Miao Yu herself showed no reaction at all. She only raised her head once when he called her Ah Ci, and a fleeting glint flashed in her eyes:
"Your Majesty, you are too kind to praise me. Ah Ci is just an ordinary person with a common name, and I am not worthy of your praise."
The hall was originally filled with orchids, but at some point they had become irises. Qiao Yu summoned the cold winter:
"Take all of these away. Don't display these flowers in the Lanchao Palace anymore. I'm tired of seeing them." After saying that, Qiao Yu glanced at Miao Yu, who looked somewhat similar to her.
"The Emperor is most annoyed by people who always use all kinds of tricks to humiliate me. Ah Ci, it is wise to know the current situation. Instead of being annoyed by others like Iris, it is better to stay in your rightful place."
Miao Yu tightly grasped the embroidered handkerchief in her hand so as not to lose her composure because of Qiao Yu's words. The calmness on her face disappeared and she became a little distraught. She bit her lower lip tightly.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty will follow the Imperial Concubine's instructions."
After leaving Lan Zhao Palace, the usually calm and self-controlled head aunt beside Miao Yu couldn't help but speak up for her:
"Please don't take to heart what the Imperial Noble Consort said just now. The Emperor still has you in his heart."
Miao Yu ignored her comfort. Was she not more perceptive than herself? It was not like she didn't know that he was sent by Yan Fu to monitor her.
"I want to ask to see the emperor. Madam, can you help me? I'm asking you..."
Sui Xin was a bit embarrassed. The emperor only told her to keep an eye on Concubine Miao and didn't let her meddle in other people's affairs. However...:
"I will try my best. If it fails, please don't be too sad, Madam."
As expected, Miao Yu's choice was right. If she went to find Yan Fu herself, he would definitely not see her. If she asked Sui Xin to ask him, that man was always suspicious and there was no guarantee that he would see her.
The man at the table continued to review the documents when he heard the footsteps. The other party did not make any noise and he just knelt quietly. He only remembered that there was someone kneeling there after he finished reviewing.
Perhaps because her injuries had not yet healed, Miao Yu's face turned pale after kneeling for half an hour, causing the emperor on the throne to frown:
"Princess Miao came to Yu Yuanting and didn't even remind me to tell her to sit up."
Even if it wasn't his fault, as a slave he could only endure it:
"This servant deserves to die. I cannot bear to disappoint Concubine Miao's kindness in understanding the Emperor. I beg for forgiveness."
The beautiful Concubine Miao in front of me looks very much like the imperial concubine who just entered the palace, and she is also so considerate:
"It's alright. Eunuch Yuan wouldn't dare disobey my wishes. Your Majesty...I have something to report to you."
Yan Fu glanced at the people in the room, and after they all left, Miao Yu handed the book in her arms forward.
"What is this?"
Yan Fu was naturally not illiterate, he just asked Miao Yu why she gave him the record of people entering and leaving the palace.
"This was given to me by the deposed Empress Chen Shuren when she summoned me for the last time before she was imprisoned. I wanted to keep this matter to myself, but..."
Even though Miao Yu didn't look directly at the emperor at this moment, she knew that if she said a wrong word next, she would be killed without a burial place.
Because that booklet mainly recorded the time when the Regent entered and left the harem, Yan Qu came almost every day to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, and it was indeed recorded that he stayed for at most an hour before leaving.
But Queen Mother Xue had no blood relationship with the powerful Regent, so why did she let him come to the harem to pay his respects day after day?
"Yu'er, do you know what happened to the last person who was so clever? If you were smarter, I would have pretended that you had never come to see me today."
She was also glad that she had this face, otherwise Yan Fu would not say a word to her, let alone give her a heartfelt warning.
"I know this, and I wanted to keep this baseless slander to myself, but yesterday, Grand Tutor Chen asked someone to give me this letter to present to His Majesty."
Yan Fu remained silent, as if to allow her to present the envelope.
As Yan Fu read through the thick stack of papers, page after page, he lost his composure, which he was most proud of, and flew into a rage:
"How dare you! I sympathize with Chen Wei, a veteran of three dynasties. Even though he has no merits, he has worked hard. I couldn't bear to see him die young, so I didn't kill his daughter. I think he has reached the end of his life."
The envelope had not been opened, but Miao Yu knew what it contained. It was the prescription written by Imperial Physician Du for the Imperial Concubine, who was actually two months pregnant.
The date is calculated to be the Autumn Banquet.
It’s not that I’m not angry, it’s just that I’m too afraid of losing her.
"Your Majesty, these are definitely fabricated stories. Please don't let this hurt the relationship between you and the Imperial Concubine..."
Huh? Don't hurt the relationship between them. Didn't this woman say she loved him deeply? Now she's pleading for Lan'er. Is she really stupid or just too clever?
A large hand appeared before Miao Yu's eyes. She looked at Yan Fu in confusion and timidly placed her own hand on it.
"emperor...?"
"Good A-yu, you have done very well this time. Please report to Master Chen truthfully that you have handed this envelope to me."
