"It seems to be related to the birth of the empress."
"oh?!"
Feng Qianyan immediately woke up.
Now, it doesn't matter who dies or who lives. The most important thing for her is her own childbirth, whether she can give birth to this child smoothly.
So he immediately asked, "Then, when did he come back?"
"Physician Han said that he will come back tomorrow, just to discuss the delivery with the empress."
"Okay, let's talk about it when he comes tomorrow."
Feng Qianyan nodded, and lay back on the bed.
Originally planning to close her eyes and rest for a while, Hanxiang clung to her ear again, telling her the news from outside.
Feng Qianyan murmured: "Concubine Li? Feng Shu? Who is she?"
Xiao Duozi on one side stepped forward and said softly: "This Concubine Li was originally a dancer gifted to the emperor by Tan Kingdom, and later she was favored and canonized as Concubine Li."
"Why haven't you seen her in the harem?"
"When the empress entered the palace, she had fallen out of favor and disappeared."
"Missing? A good person, how could he disappear?"
"This, the servants can't tell. I just heard that she seems to be involved in some big case. Of course, the most important thing is that she offended the imperial concubine."
"Oh? How did you offend me?"
"At that time, the noble concubine was also in favor, but the emperor suddenly started to favor Li Concubine, the noble concubine was naturally not convinced."
"..."
"Later, the emperor still had his heart, and wanted to entrust Princess Xinping to her upbringing, but it just failed."
"There is such a thing."
"yes."
"Then why didn't things work out?"
"I heard that the imperial concubine was crying and making noise. By the way, that naughty girl named Ran Xiaoyu next to her wanted to attack Concubine Li, and was thrown into prison by the emperor. That battle was really violent."
Although Feng Shu didn't pass by, she couldn't help but sneer when she heard that Si Nanyan had suffered such a loss.
It turned out that she was nothing more than that.
Xiao Duozi went on to say: "But not long after that, there were events such as moving the capital, offering sacrifices at the altar, and King Ning's rebellion. I don't know since when, no one in the palace has seen Concubine Li. Everyone thought she was dead, and it was because of today's incident that everyone knew that she was still alive—of course, she was also dead."
"..."
"That's right, he died strangely."
"What kind of strange method?"
"Accordingly, Concubine Li has been insane for such a long time, no one knows her whereabouts, she is alive and well; only yesterday, she was bumped into by the imperial concubine, and she hanged herself in one night, this is not strange, what is it?"
"..."
A cold light flashed in Feng Qianyan's eyes.
"It's not strange."
"..."
"This is cruel and merciless."
As she spoke, she gritted her teeth, and there was a glint of ferociousness in her eyes: "If I have this baby... I'm afraid it will not end well if it falls into her hands in the future."
She lowered her head, stretched out her hand to gently caress her protruding belly.

There were rumors about the vicious imperial concubine driving a lunatic to death everywhere in the palace. Nanyan didn't listen to it through the wall until evening, when she returned to Yikun Palace after finishing her dinner in the emperor's bedroom. To some people gossip.
She also stayed, and sat down in front of the dressing table.
Ran Xiaoyu removed the hair ornament from her head, and said: "Those people gossip, don't be mad, my lord."
Nan Yan said lightly: "I'm angry with them, but I can't get over it."
"What is the lady thinking?"
"I'm thinking about—Feng Shu."
Hearing her talking about Feng Shu, Ran Xiaoyu frowned: "Your Majesty, she has already left, so don't think too much about it."
Nan Yan put both hands on the table, scratching her fingers subconsciously, looked at Ran Xiaoyu in the bronze mirror and helped her to untangle her hair, and then said: "You didn't think that she died very strangely."
"strangeness?"
"I found her yesterday, and she died today."
"..."
"I was going to ask her something, but she was sober for a while, crazy for a while, and couldn't speak. I originally planned to ask her again today."
"Then she—"
"She died today. It seems that someone doesn't want me to ask anything."
Ran Xiaoyu stopped her hand, bent down, and said softly, "What does your empress want to ask her?"
Nan Yan lowered her voice, and said, "It's about my father."
"..."
Ran Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide, thought for a while, and then said: "But, is there anyone in this palace who doesn't want your mother to find out about this matter?"
"..."
This, however, stopped Nanyan.
In fact, few people in the palace even knew about it.
She sighed, and said: "Maybe, I was just thinking wildly, it's just that I just saw a living person, and he died overnight. It's inevitable that I feel a little sad."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Sadness is sentimental, but she is a person who treated the empress like that, and the empress should not pay too much attention to her. It is not a smart thing to repay grievances with kindness."
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing: "You, what are you talking about repaying evil with virtue? Am I that kind of person?"
With that said, he also put this matter behind him.
After Ran Xiaoyu unraveled her hair, helped her wash and went to bed, Nan Yan said: "By the way, the emperor said today that there will be a banquet in the Nuan Pavilion on the New Year's Eve, and all the concubines in the palace will be there. You prepare my outfit for that day, and let her dress more beautifully if you have peace of mind."
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her: "Your Majesty usually doesn't pay attention to this, so why do you have to prepare this time?"
Nan Yandao: "The emperor means that day should be regarded as Xinping's birthday."
"oh… "
Ran Xiaoyu understood and said with a smile: "Then, the servant must be the empress, and the princess is ready to do it."
Nan Yan only smiled lightly.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Your Majesty doesn't look so happy."
While she was talking, she was about to put down the bed curtain, when she suddenly thought of something, she stopped her hand again, and said: "For such a banquet, all the concubines and concubines in the harem will go, I'm afraid, something will happen again."
Nan Yan raised her eyes and looked at her: "Why do you think I am unhappy?"
"..."
These days, except for that time when she went to save Qin Ruolan, she tried to avoid showing up in the harem as much as possible, just because she didn't want to cause any trouble again.
However, Zhu Feng must have just celebrated Xin Xinping's birthday.
This banquet is lively and lively, but if someone with a heart wants to make something, they don't know whether it is lively or noisy.
Ran Xiaoyu thought for a while, and comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't think too much, there are slaves here."
"..."
"No way, there is still the emperor."
"..."
"Nowadays, the emperor is afraid that the empress will make mistakes, so he protects the empress in everything, and will never let others have the opportunity to bump into the empress."
After hearing her words, Nan Yan felt a little more indescribable sadness in her heart.
He just said indifferently: "It's hard to talk about the affairs in this palace."
