"The emperor... my concubine is waiting for you."
"..."
As soon as they heard this sentence, some people standing around all glanced over and all looked over.
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment before realizing what she had just said.
God!
do not mean that!
What I mean is, let him do things with peace of mind, and I will wait for him...
No matter how you say it, it doesn't seem right.
Nan Yan's face was so red that it was almost dripping with blood, and Zhu Feng also looked at her in a daze. After a while, there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
He coughed lightly, turned around and left immediately.
With Ran Xiaoyu's support, Nan Yan followed everyone out of Fengtian Hall. Before leaving, she looked back and saw Cheng Guogong in the crowd, and the people behind him looking a little nervous.
He also saw a few young eunuchs walking over, inviting Si Muyun and Gu Tingqiu to the side.
She thought for a while, and returned to the harem without reacting.
But of course, not going back to Yikun Palace immediately.
She went directly to Yonghe Palace.
Of course, this time, the situation is completely different.
She appeared in the Yonghe Palace in a splendid dress, almost making the place brighter, and all the concubines in the harem were also in the Yonghe Palace at this moment, and they all stood up.
Nan Yan first kowtowed to Queen Xu Miaoyin, bowing her head respectfully.
"The concubine pays homage to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."
"Get up."
Xu Miaoyin sat upright, and when she saluted, she immediately asked the maid Chun'er beside her to help her up.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding concubines also kowtowed to her and saluted: "My concubine pays homage to the imperial concubine."
Nanyan calmly accepted their prostration, especially glanced at Concubine Kang and Concubine An standing on the right, and raised her hand to them without changing expression: "Get up."
Everyone stood up and took their seats.
But this time, Nan Yan sat next to the queen.
Xu Miaoyin looked at her, smiled and said, "I've been wronged these two days."
Nan Yan hurriedly shook her head: "I am not wronged, I know that I am weak in virtue and talent, and I am not worthy of the honor of a noble concubine. It is the great love of the emperor and empress that I can get what I want."
Xu Miaoyin smiled and said: "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. After experiencing this, I believe you also understand that everything in this world is hard-won. In the future, you must be more cautious in your words and deeds."
"yes."
After finishing speaking, Xu Miaoyin raised her head: "Bring the person up."
Immediately, there was a burst of crying and shouting from outside, as well as the sound of messy footsteps.
Two young eunuchs escorted Simu Lan in.
Although Simulan has not been formally "convicted" yet, and she is not yet a prisoner, she was indeed brought in.
Because her two legs were too weak to walk.
Two young eunuchs escorted her in to the center of Yonghe Palace, and she knelt limply on the ground, unable to speak a word, only trembling non-stop.
At this moment, she also knew that a catastrophe was imminent for her.
In particular, seeing Si Nanyan dressed in brocade clothes, sitting in front of him gracefully and luxuriously.
It suits her even more, like a mouse in the gutter.
At this time, Xu Miaoyin said: "Si Mulan."
Simulan trembled for a moment, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Empress Empress..."
"Are you convicted?"
"..."
How could Simulan speak
She only trembled and said: "Minister... Minnv..."
Xu Miaoyin looked at her, then at Si Nanyan, who was calm beside her, and couldn't help but also sighed. Although it can be seen from the letter that Si Nanyan was just a baby girl, she behaved like a lady, even in the world. Even when she entered the palace, she was not inferior to these officials' daughters.
On the contrary, this serious young lady of the Si family has a narrow mind and no mannerisms.
The two of them are simply the difference between cloud and mud.
Xu Miaoyin sighed, and then said: "This dynasty governs the country with loyalty and filial piety, with all kinds of filial piety as the first priority, but you—as the eldest lady of the Si family and the sister of the noble concubine, what have you done?"
"..."
"Your grandmother sent someone to forward the letter to the imperial concubine, and you dare to steal it."
"..."
"Stealing things from the noble concubine is disloyalty; concealing things from grandma is unfilial."
"..."
"You unfaithful and unfilial person, do you still have the face to enter the palace?"
Simu Lan wept bitterly and kowtowed again and again: "Empress Empress, the girl knows her mistake, the girl knows her mistake!"
Hearing Xu Miaoyin's words, Simulan was not the only one who was terrified.
Concubine Kang Wu Wan at the side was even paler.
She sat there not daring to move, even wishing that her body would shrink so that no one could see it.
But the next moment, Xu Miaoyin still said: "Concubine Kang."
"ah?"
She was caught off guard, subconsciously responded, and then hurriedly stood up: "Empress Empress..."
Xu Miaoyin didn't even look at her, picked up the teacup on the table, drank a cup, and said, "Si Mulan said in front of Fengtian Hall that the purpose of stealing this letter and making it public is to make the emperor and this palace feel uneasy." As for being lied to."
"..."
"You, with her, do you also have the same thoughts?"
Upon hearing the word "a group", Wu Wan's body also trembled.
She hastily knelt down and said, "Empress Empress, concubine, how could concubine be with her?"
"..."
"When Simulan handed the letter to his concubine, she didn't say that she stole it. The concubine doesn't know anything!"
Simulan stared at her with wide eyes in disbelief.
Wu Wan continued: "Concubine, I just sincerely hope that the Emperor and Empress will not be deceived."
"oh… "
Xu Miaoyin dragged out her voice: "So that's how it is."
"Yes."
"Then if that's the case—" She suddenly darkened her face and said sharply, "Why didn't you hand over the letter to the palace for inspection first, and didn't let anyone report it to the emperor, but instead made a sudden attack on the canonization ceremony?"
"..."
"Don't you know that the grand ceremony is not only the canonization of a noble concubine, but also the face of the royal family?"
"..."
"You, as the emperor's concubine, completely disregarded the emperor and my palace's face. In the Fengtian Palace and in front of all the officials, you spoke nonsense and recklessly. What should you do!"
Wu Wan was so frightened that tears flowed out, and she repeatedly said: "The empress forgives the sin, the empress forgives the sin!"
Xu Miaoyin looked cold and said, "This time, it's you who didn't forgive yourself."
After finishing speaking, she raised her head and said solemnly: "Concubine Kang Wu Wan, she lost her manners in front of the palace, and her virtues were deficient. She was demoted to concubine and titled Zhuang."
Wu Wan trembled as if struck by lightning.
Xu Miaoyin looked at her, and said coldly: "I hope you will see the wise and think together, and often reflect on your own mistakes."
"..."
"In this way, there is still a chance to reset."
Wu Wan trembled, and after a long time, she finally kowtowed to the ground slowly: "Thank you, Empress Empress..."
After dealing with her, the Empress looked coldly at Simu Lan who was kneeling on the other side, her face ashen and her body like a walking corpse.
Xu Miaoyin said: "Imperial Concubine."
