Chapter 864: The more painful, the more liberated

After Nan Yan left Chengqian Palace, he did not immediately return to his Yikun Palace, but turned to walk towards another desolate place.
Cold palace.
Although it was already full of spring outside, this place still seemed so desolate and deserted, as if it had been forgotten by the world.
In fact, this is indeed a place forgotten by the world.
Ran Xiaoyu walked in with Nan Yan, originally intending to go to Madam Su's residence first, but only halfway through, I met Madam Su walking straight towards them.
"The imperial concubine."
Mother Su came over and bowed directly.
Nan Yan nodded and said, "Mother, please get up soon."
Madam Su stood up, then raised her head, glanced at Nan Yan with a complicated expression, and said, "The mother is here to see Ning—"
Halfway through talking, I remembered that Fei Ning's title had been abolished.
"You are here to see her. Are you?"
"Yes."
Nan Yan is not surprised. She would guess her intention and ask, "Where is she?"
Madam Su was silent for a while and said: "She is right in front, but she said that she doesn't want to see the concubine."
"..."
"So let the slave and maidservant come over and invite the concubine to go back."
Nan Yan's brows frowned.
She subconsciously said: "Why doesn't she want to see me?"
But once these words were finished, she herself seemed to understand.
Everyone has the right to lick the wound alone. If she had fallen to Qin Ruolan's current situation, she would definitely not want to see anyone, especially herself.
but--
There are still many doubts in her heart, and she wants to ask Qin Ruolan.
For example, did she really deceive Zhu Feng from the beginning, even at the mercy of ruining her innocent body, committing herself to Zhu Feng to let him lose in the battle with the prince?
Does she really have no feelings for him at all?
Although, it is meaningless to say these now.
But as a mother, I think of her facing Zhu Chengxuan over the years, but she can't recognize each other. This time, she is willing to dedicate her life for her son.
If you can untie this little knot, think of a way to let her out, that would be great.
Just thinking about it, Mother Su said again: "Please come back, please."
"..."
"It's her own choice to look like this now. For her these years, perhaps the more painful, the more relieved."
Nan Yan never thought that people need such "liberation".
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: "Well, I'm going, then she has these days—"
Madam Su smiled faintly: "There are slaves in the cold palace, these things, the empress can still rest assured."
Nan Yan laughed himself.
Yes, Madam Su is also a person left behind by Concubine Qin, so she is naturally closer to Qin Ruolan than herself, so how could she suffer in Lenggong.
She said: "Then I will come back later, if she wants to see me, I will bother my mother to let me come over and pass a message."
Madam Su nodded and said, "The slave girl understands."
Nan Yan turned around and left.
Ran Xiaoyu walked behind him and said softly: "Why is the empress treat her so kindly?"
Nan Yan looked back at her: "What?"
Ran Xiaoyu said: "She is a world of difference to Niangniang and Niangniang to her."
Nan Yan smiled, knowing that Ran Xiaoyu was holding injustice for herself.
In the past, Qin Ruolan's attitude in front of her was indeed not very good.
However, one's attitude towards others seldom depends on the attitude of others towards oneself.
Most of the time, it depends on what you think.
She didn't want to get rid of her right now. On the contrary, facing such a mother, she had a good impression of Qin Ruolan.
What's more, she did not forget what her grandmother said before her death.
The Qin family's relationship with herself has not been ascertained yet, but she faintly feels that she has some relationship with Qin Ruolan and the Qin family.
There is also this case-
She chatted with Ran Xiaoyu all the way, and returned to Yikun Palace in a short while.
At this time, Tingfu stepped forward and said, "Niang Niang, someone from the Criminal Department is here to retrieve the file of this case and seal it up."
"Oh……"
Nan Yan remembered that the file he had brought back from the Criminal Ministry hadn't returned yet.
This time the case was "understood", and the Ministry of Criminal Justice would naturally put it on record.
Nan Yan thought for a while, and said to the listener: "You passed a message and said that this palace will have to look at it for another day, and let them come and pick it up tomorrow."
"Yes."
Hearing Fu immediately ran out to spread the word.
Ran Xiaoyu watched Nan Yan walk to the table, and began to organize the files on the table, but instead of collecting them, he picked up paper and pen and began to copy the contents on it.
She said suspiciously: "Manny, this is—"
Nanyan Road: "This case is not over yet."
"..."
"Not only me, but the emperor also knows very well that Concubine Ning came forward to plead guilty to save King Wei, but we have not caught the real messenger behind the scenes."
At the mention of this, Ran Xiaoyu's brows wrinkled.
She said: "This person hides so deeply."
"Ok."
"It's just that now that Concubine Ning has pleaded guilty, can we catch him again?"
Indeed, when Concubine Ning had already pleaded guilty, even if it was found out, it would have no effect.
Nan Yan gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Whether it is useful or not, I still have to distinguish right from wrong."
"..."
"Even if this person is hidden no matter how deep, as long as I think in my heart, one day I will get him out."
Ran Xiaoyu stood by and nodded when seeing her so firm.
Came over to help her organize page by page.
The next day, when she copied all the files and put them away by herself, she asked people from the Criminal Ministry to come and fetch them. The Criminal Ministry sent a new head of the Criminal Ministry, a fair-skinned, beautiful young man.
His name is Liu Yueze, a protégé of Gu Tingqiu.
As soon as he walked in, he asked Nanyan to greet him properly. Nanyan looked at him and said, "Thank you."
After finishing speaking, Ran Xiaoyu asked Ran Xiaoyu to hand over the finished file to him.
Liu Yueze said, "I have troubled the concubine."
After speaking, he bowed, and he had to quit.
South flue: "Wait a minute."
He immediately stopped again: "What else can the imperial concubine empress give?"
"This case has come to the fore. What about the officials who were caught in the jail before? Has it been released?"
"The emperor has released part of it, and part of it is still in custody."
"Oh? Which ones?"
Liu Yueze memorized the names of the detained officials one by one.
Nan Yan was a little surprised.
On the one hand, she had already heard that Zhu Feng had killed all the officials who had previously opposed the relocation of the capital; on the other hand, she was a little surprised that this young man actually remembered everyone.
It is a manufacturable material.
However, after Nan Yan heard this, he found that one person was missing.
Asked: "Where is Young Master Jian Ruo?"
