Yinling Ginkgo informed Nanyan of the situation.

"My lady, when we found the suspicious maid in the imperial kitchen, she had already committed suicide and we lost all clues from her."

The two looked guilty and blamed themselves for going too late.

If they had discovered earlier that the road had been frozen by water being poured on it, and had found the palace maid sooner, they might have been able to find the person who really harmed the empress.

Seeing this, Nan Yan comforted the two and said, "You don't have to blame yourselves. Since someone attacked me, they must have made a foolproof plan."

Prince Chen is such a cautious person that he would not leave any evidence behind to survive the fierce competition among the princes.

From the moment that palace maid took action, he had no intention of letting her live.

Since Yinling Ginkgo couldn't find out what happened, Nan Yan sent secret guards to investigate.

Shang Yue came to Changle Palace and originally wanted to tell Nan Yan that he would send someone to investigate, but he heard that Nan Yan had already sent the secret guards to investigate.

The man leaned on the couch with his legs bent. Nan Yan leaned on his legs and flipped through a book of notes.

He suddenly remembered that when he came here earlier, he had seen the icy road. From the surface, there was no problem at all, but Yan'er saw it from afar.

He asked curiously, "Yan'er, how did you know there was something wrong with the road over there? After it was frozen, there was no difference from normal times."

Nan Yan paused, put the notes in her hand aside, touched her belly, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Since I became pregnant, I have become particularly sensitive to unknown dangers. When I was about to walk there this morning, I suddenly felt nervous and uncomfortable for no reason. I asked Yinling Ginkgo to go over and see, and sure enough, there was something wrong with the road."

"Maybe the children sensed the danger and were reminding me."

Shang Yue did not doubt Nan Yan's words. Hearing her say that, his big hand involuntarily rested on her belly, and a smile appeared on his brows.

"They are two good children who love their mother very much."

"Oh my!" Nan Yan suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, and then said excitedly: "The children just moved, did they hear you praising them?"

Shang Yue also looked excited.

When Nan Yan was five months pregnant, she would occasionally have fetal movements, but the amplitude had never been as large as today, as if she really heard him praising them.

"Yan'er, I feel it too." He tried to suppress the excitement in his heart, looked at the smiling woman in his arms and said, "These two little guys must be like you, smart."

Nan Yan raised her eyes to look at the man and jokingly said, "What if they are two little fools?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach moved twice, as if expressing their dissatisfaction.

Shang Yue laughed and said, “Look, you said they were not smart, but you called them little fools and they are protesting!”

Nan Yan quickly said, "Okay, okay, mother was wrong just now, I didn't say you are little fools!"

The two children didn't move.

Nan Yan now believed that the two little guys were really smart.

Ever since the death of the fire-making palace maid, there has been no clues. Even if the secret guards investigated, they found nothing, so the matter had to be left unresolved.

From then on, every unfamiliar palace maid who entered Changle Palace would be closely watched by the palace servants.

Those who were sent by Shang Yuan to attack the baby in Nan Yan's belly never had a chance to do anything.

When he heard that Shang Yue had sent people to protect Nan Yan very tightly and that his people had no way of setting a trap to harm the baby in Nan Yan's belly, Shang Yuan was so angry that he swept all the decorations in the room to the floor and got very angry.

It is even more impossible to drug her. Nan Yan's meals have all been inspected layer by layer.

When Concubine Jing learned about this, she immediately ordered someone to call Shang Yuan to her courtyard.

She said excitedly, "Yuan'er, are we really going to let Nan Yan give birth to the baby? Then what's the point of everything we do?"

She has endured humiliation for decades, but can't she defeat that bitch?

"Mother, even a fly entering Changle Palace will be checked, let alone other people. Moreover, some of the palace servants in Changle Palace were carefully selected by my brother and sent in, and some were Nanyan's people. There is no chance to incite them to revolt and threaten them to obey orders."

"Yuan'er, now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to take a risky move." Concubine Jing's eyes turned cold and her expression was gloomy.

Shang Yuan's expression changed, "Mother, what are you saying?"

"Yes." Concubine Jing nodded affirmatively.

Shang Yuan: "But, there is a high possibility of two deaths."

Concubine Jing had a sneer on her lips, "One corpse and two lives is even better. Nan Yan is gone, and Shang Yue may not have another woman. This is the best thing for us."

Seeing the hesitation on Shang Yuan's face, Concubine Jing looked puzzled, "Yuan'er, why do you seem to be indecisive now?"

In the past, he would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go.

Now, isn't it possible that if he did something to the child, he would kill a woman? Why is he so hesitant?

Shang Yuan was afraid that Concubine Jing would find out something was wrong, so he quickly put away his unnatural expression, turned his head, and said to Concubine Jing with his back to her:

"I just didn't think it through just now. Don't worry, mother. Facing our great cause, how could I be the kind of person who hesitates?"

"Well, arrange for someone to do it as soon as possible. We will be returning to Ganzhou soon."

"I understand. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"it is good."

Shang Yuan left Concubine Jing's courtyard with an inexplicably gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

……

That day, Nan Yan had just walked out of Changle Palace and was about to take a walk around. Suddenly, the system shouted in her mind, "Host, be careful, there are assassins shooting arrows."

Nan Yan looked up and saw an arrow shooting straight at her.

She was heavy and could not move, so she wanted to ask the system for help.

At the critical moment, a stone shot out from the side, deflecting the arrow that was shot straight at it and passing by Nan Yan.

Zheng!

The arrow hit the threshold.

Yinling Ginkgo's face changed, and she quickly protected Nanyan behind her, shouting, "Someone, there is an assassin, protect the queen."

The other palace servants came back to their senses and surrounded Nan Yan.

The secret guards in the dark had already chased towards the direction where the arrow came from.

Seeing the Imperial Guards protecting Changle Palace running over, Yin Ling turned to look at Nan Yan and asked nervously, "My queen, are you okay?"

Nan Yan shook her head, "It's okay."

Judging from the height of the arrow just now, the arrow was actually shot towards her stomach.

It seems that King Chen is getting extremely anxious, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed someone to take action so blatantly.

Nan Yan was helped back to the hall.

When the secret guard caught the assassin, he was already dead and there was no clue on his body.

When the Queen Mother learned that Nan Yan had been plagued by misfortunes one after another, she guessed who did it, but without any evidence, she did not dare to speak rashly.

Now Shang Yuan has blatantly ordered the attack, and Nan Yan has even stopped leaving Changle Palace. Let's see what other solutions he can come up with.

Shang Yuan really couldn't think of any solution. It was time for Qi Chen to return to Ganzhou, so he could only go back to Ganzhou first.
