It wasn't that Nangong Waner had not thought about it before, but today's trap was definitely set up by Qin Ruxue to persuade the empress dowager, or perhaps it was from the empress dowager's own intentions. The reason why Nangong Waner was staying in the Prince Zhan's Mansion was self-evident, and that it was more or less known by Qin Ruxue and the empress dowager.
Qin Ruxue liked the Prince Zhan. In this world, who didn't know that as the empress dowager's flesh and blood, Qin Ruxue could not help but think about how to get rid of her.
It was just that in broad daylight, in front of so many people, other than giving him some trouble, playing tricks, and using her background as a small fry to say something, attempting to humiliate her, what other tricks could Qin Ruxue possibly play?
Nangong Waner was also a little curious. What tricks could Qin Ruxue, a dignified and gentle girl from a noble family, do for her in the empress dowager?
Therefore, when Prince Zhan looked at her, there was a trace of worry in her eyes. However, the look that she gave Prince Zhan a sense of relief was from the bottom of her heart. She would think of a way to deal with it.
It was unknown if it was because of the wind or because Chu Xiuhan had tormented him to such an extent last night, but during this time, Nangong Waner felt a little tired and dizzy. He rubbed his head weakly and looked down at the cup of water, "This tea …" Nangong Waner suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Ruxue. It was as if Qin Ruxue was focused on accompanying the empress dowager in giving rewards to La Mei. Qin Ruxue casually recited a few poems by La Mei, which attracted the empress dowager's praise.
Sensing Nangong Waner's gaze, Qin Ruxue slowly turned his head back. Seeing that it was Nangong Waner, and seeing that Nangong Waner's complexion was a little unwell, Qin Ruxue immediately asked in concern, "Wan Er, are you feeling uncomfortable? I've heard that your physique is weak. Could it be that the wind in this imperial garden is too strong, making your body weak and unable to withstand it? " Qin Ruxue said with concern.
When the empress dowager heard Qin Ruxue say that Nangong Waner was not feeling well and that his physique was weak, she also turned around to look at him. When she saw that Nangong Waner was really weak, her expression became ugly. The empress dowager was very displeased as she spoke in a low voice.
When Nangong Waner saw the happy expression on the empress dowager's face, he was instantly displeased. Did Qin Ruxue just want the empress dowager to think that she was sick and hate her?
"Empress Dowager, the wind in this imperial garden is indeed strong. Little Sister Wan Er's body is weak, why don't I help her rest in my palace?" Imperial Concubine Shu very considerately suggested to the empress dowager.
The empress dowager was naturally unhappy. She felt that Imperial Concubine Fu was meddlesome and indiscriminately meddling in other people's affairs, but the empress dowager only sullenly refused.
Imperial Concubine Fu sat there, a little awkward. There were plenty of people watching with amusement. "You should mind your own business. If others can't beat you, you'll just charge in."
Nangong Waner raised his head to look at her and saw that she was smiling awkwardly at him.
"Aunt, Imperial Concubine Su has always been a warmhearted person. The wind in the Imperial Garden today was indeed strong, let Wan Er rest in Shufei's chambers. If he could freeze something here, it would be hard to explain his grievances to the Ministry of Public Relations' Lord Assistant Minister."
The empress dowager naturally agreed after hearing Qin Ruxue's words, and she said coldly to Shuangfei, "It'll be as you say."
Imperial Concubine Su looked at Qin Ruxue with gratitude, as if she was grateful that she had resolved her awkward situation. Qin Ruxue also smiled, looking very gentle and dignified.
Nangong Wan'er would rather go to the sleeping quarters with Sufei than have the cold wind blow in the imperial garden. When she entered the house, Sufei's room was already filled with charcoal. Nangong Wan'er was still a little dizzy, but after leaning against Sufei's chair for a while, she seemed to have recovered a lot.
"Light the Calming Incense that I received a few days ago on Miss Nangong." After giving her orders, she turned and looked towards Nangong Waner and said, "Wan Er, the wind in the imperial garden is too strong, I can't take it anymore. I can just borrow you to rest, I can also rest together with you.
Nangong Waner looked for a while at Consort Su, "Thank you very much."
Imperial Concubine Su gently smiled. "You're too polite. We're all walking in the harem, and there are plenty of times where we don't do as we please. I'm just lifting a finger."
Just as Nangong Waner was about to fall asleep himself, after an unknown amount of time, the door to Concubine Su's room was suddenly cut open by an external force. Prince Zhan walked in angrily, "Where is Wan Er?" The Prince Zhan's face was filled with killing intent as he spoke while looking at Madam Fu with an ice-cold voice.
Imperial Concubine Su had never seen such a scene before. Even though she was used to walking the imperial harem, with her unfazed personality, she was still shocked by Prince Zhan's actions.
Imperial Concubine Fu was a little frightened and didn't manage to recover from her shock, but the eunuchs and maids in the courtyard were the first to rush in. Imperial Concubine Su, this little one cannot stop you. "
"Oh, so it's actually the Prince Zhan. Wan Er had blown some wind in the imperial garden and his body couldn't take it anymore. He's currently sleeping on the couch."
When the Prince Zhan heard Imperial Concubine Su's words, he walked in. Imperial Concubine Su wanted to stop him, "Prince Zhang, this is the imperial harem after all. Men are not allowed to enter …"
Prince Zhan looked at Consort Su with infinite coldness. Consort Su was immediately scared speechless, "Prince Zhan, please."
Prince Zhan had just walked to the front of Nangong Waner's sleeping chair and looked at him worriedly. Nangong Waner seemed to have sensed his presence and woke up, "Why are you here? I fell asleep for who knows how long. " Nangong Waner said lazily as he rubbed his eyes and stretched.
You also know that you're in a daze. What a little daze. Did you forget what I said earlier?" Without saying a word, the King held Nangong Wan'er in his arms, as if he was afraid that she would catch a cold. He even took off his brocade robe and covered Nangong Wan'er's body.
"Oh, I didn't forget what you said. Don't be mad at me. "
"How can you not be angry? See how I'll punish you when I get back."
Just like that, the Prince Zhan carried Nangong Waner and walked out of Imperial Concubine Su's room as if there was no one else present. Even after the Prince Zhan and Nangong Waner had walked far away and completely disappeared into the distance, Concubine Su still couldn't recover her senses, "This … The person who just walked past should be the Prince Zhang. "
The palace maids and eunuchs in Imperial Concubine Fu's palace were also shocked. When had they ever seen such a gentle and gentle Prince Zhang? "Replying Empress, it was indeed Prince Zhang who just passed by."
"Empress, I think it was as the rumors said, Prince Zhan had a rather deep affection for Nangong Waner, and her position is not lower than Qin Ruxue. Empress, you should not have helped Qin Ruxue, if Nangong Waner were to gain power in the future, esteemed wangfei, you will suffer." When Shufei came back to her senses and settled down at the table to drink her tea, the palace maid by Imperial Concubine Su's side said carefully.
"The emperor is not a person who likes to mix, I want to stay in the palace for a long time, naturally I need to protect myself, today it's just a tea with a black head, Nangong Waner is dizzy with the symptoms, then I have already investigated the Calm Incense Qin Ruxue sent me and added red flowers, it will only affect my son, I have already secretly lightened up and have no harm on his body, I believe that Nangong Waner is not stupid, I have already told her, I was just protecting myself, in reality I am helpless, and the thing did not come from my palace. Even if she were to gain power in the future, she would not care about me. " Imperial Concubine Su sighed as she spoke in a faint voice.
