Nan Yan felt as if he was about to suffocate his breath.
"What's the matter?"
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her, and said with some difficulty: "Yes—it's about, Jian Ruocheng."
"Second Young Master Jian?!"
Hearing Jian Ruocheng's name, Nan Yan's whole body trembled.
She suddenly remembered that since she woke up, she hadn't heard from him again, and she only thought about Zhu Feng and forgot about him.
He, as the master of Zhujian Academy, went to the grand ceremony to offer a sacrificial eulogy, and now something like that happened suddenly, and he even protected himself in the fire, what would happen to him
And mentioning this, Ran Xiaoyu's heart was also heavy.
She said in a deep voice: "Actually, I found out about him last night. It's just that I didn't tell you because I was afraid that your mother would worry about you."
Nan Yan asked eagerly: "He, what happened to him?!"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "His back suffered severe burns."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this news, Nan Yan was taken aback.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "At that time, Madam, you passed out not long ago. After we sent you back to the palace, he also passed out. Before that, he was always holding on."
"..."
"And, until today, still unconscious."
"..."
Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide.
It wasn't until this time that she recalled that when the Chong'en Pagoda was on fire, because the top of the tower collapsed, the flames were sprayed everywhere. At that time, she almost burned herself, but Jian Ruocheng rushed to her body immediately. In front of him, he hugged himself in his arms.
Looking back now, the flame must have scorched his back.
It's just that at that time, he didn't show any hurt expression at all, and because he only thought about Zhu Feng in the tower, he completely ignored him.
didn't expect him to—
Nan Yan's heart was full of pain and guilt, her eyes were a little red: "He, he—"
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly held her hand, but felt that her fingertips were icy cold in such a hot weather, and she was even trembling slightly, and hurriedly said: "Mother, don't think too much, this—this is not your fault."
"It's my fault."
Nan Yan said painfully: "If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have suffered so much."
"..."
However, she didn't fall into such pain and couldn't extricate herself, but immediately looked at Ran Xiaoyu again and said, "Then, what news did you find out after you went out just now? Did he have any surprises?"
Ran Xiaoyu's expression became more dignified.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's Concubine Kang, and Concubine Kang and the others."
"They?" Upon hearing these two people, Nan Yan frowned: "What are they going to do?"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "They said that since the imperial concubine has been punished, she should not be forgiven for misbehaving towards the imperial concubine, especially Jian Ruocheng, a traitor who conspired to harm the emperor!"
"What?"
"After Jian Ruocheng was injured, he was originally sent to the palace and placed under house arrest in a palace. He was also sent to the imperial doctor to wake him up, but now—"
"What about now?"
"Now, they directly put the crime of murdering the emperor on him, saying that he is a traitor who assassinated the emperor, and they want to kill him!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing the news, Nan Yan was completely stunned, and stood up from the bed with a pale face: "Are they going to kill him?!"
Seeing her like this, Ran Xiaoyu also stood up and grabbed her hands even harder.
"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry—"
"How can I not be in a hurry?!"
Nan Yan's eyes were red, and her whole body was shaking.
Jian Ruocheng, they actually wanted to kill Jian Ruocheng!
Even if, he is the master of Zhujian Academy; even if, he once spread rumors unfavorable to the emperor; even, he may even have some contact with the mastermind behind the scenes.
But Nan Yan believed that he was definitely not the main messenger of this assassination!
She could even feel that he had made the right choice during the eulogy under the Chong'en Pagoda.
just didn't expect-
A big fire burned everything beyond recognition!
Nan Yan shook her head and murmured: "No, absolutely not!"
"..."
"He can't die, they can't kill him!"
"..."
"I absolutely can't let them do this to him!"
After she finished speaking, she was about to go out in a hurry, and Ran Xiaoyu shouted in fright: "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive!"
However, Nan Yan could no longer listen to her words.
Jane Ruocheng, Jane Ruocheng!
Now, in Nan Yan's mind, only that handsome face, his radiant temperament, and the painful and contradictory expression when he faced himself again.
He has experienced too much suffering.
Absolutely not, let them kill him!
Nan Yan only had this obsession in her heart, she swung Ran Xiaoyu's hand away, turned around and rushed out.
As soon as she walked out of the gate, she felt the scorching sun above her head, as if a fire had directly burned her body. Nan Yan felt dizzy for a moment, and her eyes were blank.
She staggered involuntarily.
"Ma'am!"
Ran Xiaoyu hurried up to support her: "Your Majesty, be careful, you're still pregnant—"
"Xiaoyu, stop talking!"
She wobbled a bit, and managed to hold onto Ran Xiaoyu's hand to barely stand still. She immediately gritted her teeth and walked out, staring at the scorching sun above her head: "We must hurry, we can't let him be killed!"
"..."
"Whether it's for him or for—"
Speaking of this, Ran Xiaoyu's gaze also froze.
She said, "Ma'am, what do you mean—"
Nan Yan turned her head to look at her, her face was reddened by the sun, but she didn't sweat a single drop, because at this moment, her body was completely cold.
She said: "There are still some unsolved mysteries about him."
"..."
"The mastermind behind the scenes, if he didn't want to save him, he would definitely want his life and kill him."
"..."
"I can't let this happen!"
"...!"
Ran Xiaoyu suddenly understood.
But she was still worried: "But ma'am, you—"
Nan Yan turned her head to look forward and said, "At this moment, we can no longer rely on others."
"..."
"Walk!"
After speaking, she continued to walk forward without looking back.
Seeing her determination, Ran Xiaoyu had no choice but to follow her up and support her, fearing that something might happen to her.
The two hurried out of the gate of the cold palace.
But just after the two of them left the cold palace, under a scorching sun, behind a cluster of thick flowers, a few pairs of eyes were looking at their backs coldly, with a cold smile on the corners of their mouths.
"She really went. Our imperial concubine is really kind and righteous."
It was Wu Wan who spoke.
Standing beside her, Gao Yurong also sneered and said: "If she is not affectionate and righteous, how can the empress have such an opportunity?"
After finishing speaking, she turned her head again, and looked at Feng Qianyan who was standing on the other side, who had been silent all this time, with cold eyes.
"Concubine Kang, what are you thinking?"
