Chapter 1323: No Need to Meet Again (192 Million Votes Plus)
The resources and power she can mobilize are still a far cry from those of an emperor.
Since we can use the emperor's hand, why not do it?
Shen Zhinian buried her face deeply in Nangong Xuanyu's solid chest. Her voice was still muffled, but full of complete dependence and trust: "Well... With your Majesty's words, I am not afraid of anything."
She raised her head slightly, revealing her sparkling eyes, now filled with star-like admiration, and added softly, "As long as Your Majesty is here, I feel that no storm, no matter how strong, is anything to fear."
These words, like the sweetest honey, enveloped the emperor's hard heart and greatly satisfied his desire to protect.
Nangong Xuanyu was indeed very pleased.
He looked down at Shen Zhinian's clinging expression, and felt his heart filled with an indescribable satisfaction and love.
The emperor chuckled softly, lifted her chin with his fingertips, and placed a soothing kiss on her smooth forehead: "Of course I am Nian Nian's support."
"I am here for you in everything. Just stay by my side and be at ease."
Shen Zhinian closed his eyes softly, feeling the warmth on his forehead that was about to touch him, and a faint curve appeared on his lips.
She snuggled in the emperor's arms, as if she had found a lifelong harbor.
No one could see that beneath Shen Zhinian's drooping eyelashes, a flash of extremely calm anticipation flashed across the depths of his eyes.
Nangong Xuanyu hugged Shen Zhinian, and his determination to find out who was behind the scenes became more and more determined.
No matter who that person is, if he dares to wrong the person he cares about, he must pay the price!
The warm and affectionate atmosphere in the palace was broken by Li Changde's soft voice: "Your Majesty, the judge of the Heyuan Court is outside seeking an audience."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhinian wanted to get up from Nangong Xuanyu's arms and leave, but he said, "It's okay, just listen from the side."
"Yes."
Shen Zhinian stood up, straightened her slightly wrinkled palace dress, stepped aside gracefully, and sat down on a cushioned chair.
Otherwise, if others saw her sitting on the emperor's lap, it would be too undignified...
The judge of the Heyuan Court lowered his head and walked in with steady steps. He saluted Nangong Xuanyu and Shen Zhinian and said, "This old minister pays homage to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine, may Her Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness!"
Nangong Xuanyu said calmly: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The judge of the Heyuan Court stood up and bowed his head to report, "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to carefully treat the Concubine Dun for several months, but... the Concubine's body has been damaged and cannot be fully restored to its original state."
"However, Her Majesty the Concubine Dun is now much better and can carry out her daily life without any problems, though she is a little weaker than before. She needs to rest and recuperate for a long time, and avoid worrying or overwork."
Nangong Xuanyu listened without much emotion, and nodded calmly: "I understand."
The emperor has his own plans.
Although Concubine Dun has many little thoughts, her protectiveness towards the Third Prince is real.
Now that she has suffered a serious illness, her sharpness must have been almost worn away.
As long as she behaves herself in the future, he will ensure that she lives a life of wealth and glory in view of her dedication to raising the third prince.
Shen Zhinian sat quietly beside him. When he heard the news, a hint of pity appeared on his face, but his heart was cold.
She was not surprised by this result.
When Concubine Dun was reckless in Mulan Paddock and spread rumors about her and Gu Jinxiao, she had Tang Luochuan secretly do something to make Concubine Dun "seriously ill".
He taught Concubine Dun a lesson without actually taking her life, and the measure was just right.
I hope that after this incident, Concubine Dun will remember what to say and what not to say.
If she dares to be restless again...
A hint of coldness flashed in Shen Zhinian's eyes.
Next time, it won’t be as simple as just getting sick!
Shen Zhinian's eyes seemed to accidentally sweep over He Yuanpan who was standing with his head bowed.
The chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau looked calm and composed, without any sign of abnormality.
She thought to herself.
Tang Luochuan should have followed her instructions and cleverly let He Yuanpan "discover" the record of the secret medicine for extinction in the fragments of ancient books from the Western Regions without leaving any trace.
But I wonder if this old doctor, who enjoys the emperor's deep trust, has connected what is recorded in the ancient books with the unusual tranquility in the harem over the past six months?
And have you... checked anything secretly?
But Shen Zhinian couldn't tell anything from He Yuanpan's calm face.
The judge of the Heyuan Court said respectfully, "If Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will take my leave first."
Nangong Xuanyu waved his hand: "Go."
Heyuanpan bowed again, lowered his head and walked out of the Yangxin Palace with steady steps.
Shen Zhinian also stood up and said softly, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. I will not disturb you any longer. I will take my leave first."
Nangong Xuanyu's thoughts had turned back to government affairs at this moment. He just nodded slightly and said, "Well, Nian Nian, go back and have a good rest."
Shen Zhinian bowed, took Fuqiu's hand, and turned away gracefully.
……
Deep in the sky prison, the prison door filled with blood was opened again.
Lin Wan, dressed in a plain dress, a cloak, and a veil covering her face, walked slowly in under the guidance of the jailer.
Unlike when Shen Zhinian came, she was only accompanied by two guards, and her expression was even colder.
When Lin Wan's gaze fell on the bloody figure on the wall, pierced by chains, there was no longer much emotion in her heart, only a kind of calmness that was almost indifferent.
Liu Shixiu raised his head with difficulty.
When he saw that the person coming was Lin Wan, his originally dead eyes suddenly burst out with deep hatred that wanted to burn everything!
The hatred was so strong that it almost pierced Lin Wan!
Even though he had a place for Shen Nanqiao in his heart, even though he was secretly planning countless shady things, he never thought of involving his wife, who he married in a formal ceremony.
He gave her the honor of a wife, a stable and prosperous life, and protected her under his wings.
But what did this bitch give him in return? !
At the most critical moment between him and Duke Dingguo's Mansion, she dealt him the most fatal blow!
Betrayed him, betrayed the entire Liu family!
He even used a letter of severance to trample on his last bit of dignity!
Lin Wan clearly saw the hatred in Liu Shixiu's eyes, but she only felt it was extremely ironic.
This man still felt that she had wronged him until now?
It's really a big joke in the world!
Lin Wan waved away the guards behind her and asked them to wait outside the door.
Compared to their cautious approach to protecting Shen Zhinian, the imperial guards seemed less concerned about Lin Wan's safety. After all, the grudge between this "couple" was no longer a secret.
Lin Wan stood a few steps away from Liu Shixiu, looking at him calmly, her voice cold and emotionless: "Liu Shixiu, you want to see me?"
"I thought we had nothing more to say to each other and there was no need for us to meet again."
