After Nan Yan left Chengqian Palace, she didn't immediately return to her own Yikun Palace, but turned her head and walked to another desolate place.
Leng Gong.
Although the outside is already full of spring, this place still looks so desolate and deserted, as if it has been forgotten by the world.
In fact, this is indeed a place that has been forgotten by the world.
Ran Xiaoyu walked in with Nanyan, originally planning to go to Su Nanny's residence first, but just halfway there, she met Su Nanny walking straight towards them.
"The imperial concubine."
Madam Su came directly to kowtow.
Nan Yan nodded and said, "Mommy, get up quickly."
Su Momo stood up, then raised her head, looked at Nan Yan with a complicated expression, and said, "Your Majesty came here this time to see Ning—"
In the middle of talking, I remembered that Concubine Ning's title had been abolished.
"You came to see her. Did you?"
"Yes."
It's not surprising for Nan Yan, she would guess her purpose and ask, "Where is she?"
Su Momo was silent for a while, then said: "She is right in front, but she said that she doesn't want to see the imperial concubine."
"..."
"So let the slaves come over, and the imperial concubine please go back."
Nan Yan frowned.
She subconsciously said, "Why doesn't she want to see me?"
But as soon as the sentence was finished, she seemed to understand it herself.
Everyone has the right to lick their wounds alone, if she were reduced to Qin Ruolan's current situation, she would definitely not want to see anyone, especially herself.
But-
She still had many doubts in her heart and wanted to ask Qin Ruolan.
For example, was she really lying to Zhu Feng from the very beginning, even at the expense of destroying her innocence, committing herself to Zhu Feng, and letting him lose in the battle with the prince.
Did she really have no feelings for him at all
Although, it is meaningless to say these now.
But as a mother at the same time, she thought of the pain she faced Zhu Chengxuan all these years, but she couldn't recognize each other, and this time, she was willing to sacrifice herself for her son.
If you can untie this little knot and find a way to release her, that's fine.
Just as she was thinking about it, Su Momo said again: "Your Majesty, please go back."
"..."
"The current appearance is her own choice. For her these years, the more painful it may be, the more liberated she is."
Nanyan never thought that people need such "relief".
One can imagine Qin Ruolan's pain.
Maybe it's because I can't understand it no matter how I think about it.
She was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, I'll go, then these days she-"
Su Nanny smiled lightly: "There are slaves in the cold palace, so you can rest assured about these things."
Nan Yan laughed too.
That's right, Mother Su is also the person left behind by Concubine Qin Gui, so she is naturally closer to Qin Ruolan than herself, so how could she be allowed to suffer in the cold palace.
She said: "Then I'll come back in a few days. If she wants to see me, please ask Mammy to send a message."
Su Momo nodded and said, "This servant knows."
Nan Yan then turned and left.
Ran Xiaoyu walked behind him and said softly, "Why is your empress so nice to her?"
Nan Yan turned her head and glanced at her: "What?"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "She treats the empress, and the empress treats her, there is a world of difference."
Nan Yan smiled, she knew that Ran Xiaoyu was arguing for herself.
In the past, Qin Ruolan's attitude in front of her was indeed not very good.
However, one's attitude towards others rarely depends on others' attitude towards oneself.
Most of the time, it depends on how you think.
I don't want to hurt her right now, on the contrary, facing such a mother, she has a good impression of Qin Ruolan.
What's more, she didn't forget what her grandmother said before she died.
The origin of the Qin family and herself has not been found out yet, but she has a faint feeling that there is some relationship between herself, Qin Ruolan, and the Qin family.
And there's this case—
She chatted with Ran Xiaoyu all the way, and returned to Yikun Palace after a while.
At this moment, Ting Fu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has sent someone to take back the files of this case and seal them up for filing."
"oh… "
Nan Yan remembered that the dossier she had brought back from the Ministry of Punishment hadn't been returned yet.
This time the case "comes to light", and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will naturally record it.
Nan Yan thought for a while, and said to Ting Fu: "You pass word to me that I have to look at it for another day, and let them pick it up tomorrow."
"yes."
Ting Fu immediately ran out to spread the word.
Ran Xiaoyu watched as Nan Yan walked to the table and began to organize the files on the table, but instead of picking them up, he picked up a pen and paper and began to copy the contents on them.
She said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, this is—"
Nan Yan said: "This case is not over yet."
"..."
"Not only me, but the emperor is also very clear that Concubine Ning pleaded guilty to save King Wei, but we haven't caught the real mastermind behind the scenes."
When this was mentioned, Ran Xiaoyu frowned.
She said: "This person hides very deeply."
"Um."
"It's just that now that Concubine Ning has pleaded guilty, can he be caught again?"
Indeed, since Concubine Ning had already pleaded guilty, it would be useless to find out.
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and said firmly, "Whether it's useful or not, I still have to distinguish right from wrong."
"..."
"No matter how deeply this person hides, as long as I think in my heart, one day I will find him out."
Ran Xiaoyu stood beside her, seeing how determined she was, she also nodded.
Come over and help her organize the pages one by one.
The next day, after she had copied all the files and put them away by herself, she asked the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to come and pick them up. The Ministry of Criminal Justice sent a newly promoted head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, a young man with fair skin and fine features.
His name is Liu Yueze, and he is Gu Tingqiu's student.
As soon as he walked in, he greeted Nan Yan politely. Nan Yan sized him up and said, "Thanks for your hard work."
After finishing speaking, he asked Ran Xiaoyu to hand over the compiled files to him.
Liu Yueze said: "Please trouble the imperial concubine."
After speaking, he saluted and then left.
Nan Yan said: "Wait a minute."
He stopped immediately: "What orders does the imperial concubine have?"
"The truth of this case has come to light. What about the officials who were arrested in the prison before? Have they been released?"
"The emperor has released some of them, and the other part is still in custody."
"Oh? Which ones?"
This Liu Yueze recited the names of the officials who were detained one by one.
Nan Yan was a little surprised.
Firstly, she had already heard that Zhu Feng had wiped out all the officials who had previously opposed the relocation of the capital; secondly, she was a little surprised that this young man actually remembered everyone.
It is a material that can be made.
However, after Nanyan heard about it, she found that there was one person missing.
Asked: "Where is Mr. Jian Ruocheng?"
