"And she—I'm afraid that she will plan for the future of King Wei."
"Planning for the future of King Wei?"
"..."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean she will attack Concubine Ning?"
Nan Yan didn't speak, because at this moment, another gust of cold wind blew, making the trees in the garden shake constantly, and she was also a little cold, so Ran Xiaoyu immediately stretched out her hand to protect her.
"Ma'am, it's cold outside, let's go back quickly."
"..."
Nan Yan didn't move forward immediately, but raised her head and looked at the mottled shadows of trees constantly shaking in the deep twilight.
After a long while, she said softly: "These days, when the empress does everything, she hopes that the big things will be reduced, and the small things will be reduced, and she wants to maintain the peace of the harem, but it seems that it is not so easy."
"..."
"The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop."

On the day of the winter solstice, the news that the emperor took his imperial concubine, King Wei and Princess Xinping to travel together in micro-clothes quickly spread throughout the harem.
In Chonghua Palace, the anger was naturally as usual.
Even the palace people passing by could hear the sound of Concubine Hui being furious and throwing the cup to the ground.
Anpin and the others tried hard to persuade them for a long time before they managed to control their anger.
But in the Jianfu Palace on the other side, it was unusually quiet.
It's not that the news has not reached here, but that the news has not reached Concubine Ning Feng Qianyan's ears.
At this moment, the gate of Jianfu Palace was closed tightly, and the little palace maid Qin'er was guarding the gate. Although the cold wind was blowing outside, she was sweating profusely, and the cold sweat on her body even wet her close-fitting clothes.
Unfortunately, there was no movement inside.
Because in it, it is the doctor Shao who is burning moxa for Concubine Ning to induce labor and protect the fetus.
It's the fourth time.
The time was longer each time, every time Concubine Ning only let Han Xiang serve inside, and let her guard outside, no one was allowed to come in, and if anyone came, she had to report back immediately.
Qin'er also knew that this was related to the decapitation, so she was inevitably nervous.
She wiped her forehead again with the sweat-soaked handkerchief, then stood up, walked to the door and listened for a while.
No sound at all.
So, I turned around and took two steps outside, and looked outside. Fortunately, today, everyone's attention was focused on Yikun Palace. In addition, Concubine Ning has started to thank guests behind closed doors these days, except sometimes, In the evening, the empress would send someone over to ask a few questions, but not many people came.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally heard a very low voice coming from inside.
"Ma'am!"
Hanxiang hurried forward, carefully listening to the movement inside.
There was a lot of noise inside, and after a while, the door finally opened.
It was Han Xiang who came out from the inside, holding a pot of hot water in his hand, and handed it to her, Qin'er hurriedly took it, poured it under the eaves, and followed her into the house.
There was still an indescribable smell in the room, and Imperial Physician Shao was already standing by the table, starting to pack his medicine box.
Hanxiang and Qin'er went behind the screen.
Concubine Ning Feng Qianyan was sitting on the head of the bed, she was also sweating profusely, her face was pale, as if she had just walked through the 18th floor of hell, her whole body was haggard and out of shape.
Qin'er was so frightened that she trembled.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
"..."
Feng Qianyan didn't even have the strength to speak, so he only moved his fingers.
Han Xiang immediately said: "Your Majesty wants to drink water."
"yes."
Qin'er immediately went to pour a cup of tea and brought it to her mouth. Feng Qianyan drank a few sips, and his face finally regained some vitality. Han Xiang helped her to sit up, and tidied her sweat-drenched hair a little.
At this moment, Imperial Physician Shao also walked in, bowing his hands to Feng Qianyan.
"Ma'am."
"Doctor Shao, is it over for today?"
"Yes."
"Then, how many more times?"
"According to the current situation of the empress, there are about three or four more times, and it will be done."
"Three or four times?"
Feng Qianyan calculated silently, it was probably during the Chinese New Year.
She thought to herself: That's fine too, during Chinese New Year, when everyone is happy, if she gives birth at that time, she will surely attract the emperor's attention, and if she wins a boy in one fell swoop, it will be even more joyful.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Then he said: "Ben Gong's wealth and life are entrusted to you. You must help Ben Gong keep this child, and let him be born safely."
Shao Ren said: "Please rest assured, Concubine Ning."
"Um."
Feng Qianyan nodded, and winked at Hanxiang again.
Hanxiang understood, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Your servant will send you to the imperial physician."
"Let me say my goodbyes."
"Go."
After they all walked out, Feng Qianyan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Qin'er, who was also nervous, and said, "Pour me another cup of tea."
"yes."
Qin'er can't do anything else, but she is very diligent in running errands, and quickly poured tea and delivered it to her.
Feng Qianyan took it and said while drinking, "Just now, no one came outside?"
Qin'er shook her head and said, "There are no people."
"Um?"
Hearing these words, there seemed to be other meanings, Feng Qianyan raised her head: "What happened?"
Qin'er said: "When I was at the door just now, I heard that Concubine Hui was losing her temper at Chonghua Palace and beat someone. All the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital have passed."
"oh?"
Feng Qianyan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Sneered and said: "Concubine Hui's temper is getting worse and worse, what's the big deal, let her beat someone?"
Qin'er said softly: "It seems that the winter solstice yesterday, the emperor went out of the palace."
Feng Qianyan frowned upon hearing this: "What, the emperor is leaving the palace?"
"Yes."
"What are you going out of the palace for?"
"I heard that the emperor left the palace in micro-clothes yesterday and spent most of the day outside. The Winter Solstice Festival was also spent outside."
"This—why doesn't this palace know."
Having said that, she herself came back to her senses.
In the past few days, she has closed the door to thank guests, not to let people come to disturb her, and she does not go out of the gate of Jianfu Palace, so naturally she can't hear any news.
So, he lowered his head and took another sip of tea: "So what's the matter?"
Qin'er said: "I heard that the emperor took the imperial concubine, His Royal Highness King Wei, and His Royal Highness the Princess out of the palace together."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a "bang bang".
The teacup in Feng Qianyan's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
The tea immediately broke Qin'er's body, she took a step back in fright, and hurriedly said: "Niang Niang?"
At this moment, Han Xiang, who had just sent Shao Ren out, also secretly stuffed him with a bank note, and was about to come back to report, had just walked to the door when she heard the loud noise, and ran in hastily in fright.
I saw Feng Qianyan sitting on the head of the bed with a pale face and straight eyes.
There was a heavy scowl on his face.
She hurriedly said: "Ma'am, what's the matter?"
