Gu Ziyun said, "The Imperial Concubine is coming."

"What?"

Chen Zixiao was shocked.

He frowned, calculated silently in his heart, and immediately said: "Didn't someone send a message back a few days ago? According to the empress's schedule, there are at least three days left, so how could it be so fast?"

Gu Ziyun said: "It was the eunuch in charge who was around the Empress who listened to Eunuch Fu coming and saying it."

“…”

"The Empress has been traveling day and night these days, and has almost no rest, so she arrived today."

When Chen Zixiao heard this, he immediately said, "Then, hurry up and follow up."

Gu Ziyun said: "The mansion is ready, and the young people are waiting here, just waiting for the adults to come back."

"Then, have you told the emperor?"

"Listen to Eunuch Fu, I heard that the Emperor's words are not to disturb the Emperor. Moreover, the Emperor did not sleep all night last night, so the young man dared not go over and disturb him."

"this"

This made them embarrassed.

Chen Zixiao frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Well, let's take over the horse first. When the empress arrives, she will naturally have a problem with the emperor."

Gu Ziyun nodded.

Everyone was guarding the gate. After a while, the sun was about to set, and they saw a group of people slowly moving towards the twilight.

Chen Zixiao and everyone behind him knelt down.

"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."

The carriage was parked at the gate of the Duwei Mansion, and a little palace maid jumped down first, then held the hand of the imperial concubine and led her out of the carriage.

Everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.

Nan Yan looked down at Chen Zixiao who was still wearing armor, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Zixiao said: "I dare not speak of my suffering."

Nanyan nodded. At this time, several maids walked out of the Duwei Mansion and walked into the gate towards the imperial concubine. When Nanyan arrived at the hall, he sat down. The little palace maid Ruoshui who had just picked her up and said to them, "Go up, the empress calls Lord Chen to speak."

Everyone got up and Chen Zixiao hurriedly followed Ruoshui in.

Although this is the Duwei Mansion of Handongwei, which is incomparable to the arrangement in the capital, Gu Ziyun at least has a screen in the center of the hall, with bead curtains on both sides, barely blocking it.

Chen Zixiao walked in and knelt down to Nanyan again.

"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."

"Mr. Chen doesn't have to be too polite. You are the emperor's cousin and you are like your close relatives."

"The grace of the empress, but the courtesy of the king and the minister cannot be abolished."

Nan Yan looked at Chen Zixiao's tall figure through the screen and not only smiled slightly.

Although the Chen brothers have been in the court for a long time and have been valued, they are all from the previous dynasty. She is in the harem and has little contact with them. She can only meet the emperor when he holds a family banquet during festivals and has never had much talk.

However, the one who could make the emperor hand over such an important military city in Handongwei to him must be an ordinary character.

At least from these few sentences, this person's firmness is not inferior to Zhu Feng.

At this time, Gu Ziyun stood at the door again and said softly: "Qi Guifei, the servants in the mansion are coming to kowtow to the empress."

Nan Yan said lightly: "Forgive."

"yes."

Gu Ziyun took everyone down.

Nan Yan looked around again, then said to Chen Zixiao: "Mr. Chen, where is the emperor?"

Chen Zixiao immediately said: "I am guilty. The emperor patrolled the border last night and stayed up all night. He was sleeping all day today, so no one could disturb him. Moreover, the itinerary of the Empress, which was estimated before, should be three days before he arrived at the Duwei Mansion. Therefore, the emperor did not know that the Empress had arrived."

“So that’s how it is.”

Nan Yan nodded gently and said, "However, you should also remind the emperor that state affairs are important, and the emperor's dragon body should also take care of himself."

"yes."

"Where is Doctor Xue?"

“…”

Chen Zixiao frowned.

The imperial concubine came and asked the emperor the first sentence, and the second sentence was about Doctor Xue.

It seems that they are sensitive to their relationship.

Feeling Chen Zixiao paused for a moment, Nan Yan's eyes flashed and said softly: "What's wrong? She is also restoring her sleep?"

"……yes."

"She, have you followed the emperor to patrol the border?"

"yes."

"That's last night?"

"yes."

After answering these questions, Chen Zixiao looked up carefully. In fact, through the screen and the layers of bead curtains, he naturally could not see anything. He just felt that the aura of the concubine behind the screen had sunk.

After a long time, I felt like I sighed lightly.

He said: "I understand."

After saying that, she was quiet for a while, and then said, "Okay, go and do your business."

"That lady..."

"I am going to meet the emperor."

Chen Zixiao originally thought that when the imperial concubine came to Handongwei, he and Gu Ziyun should take care of many things, but when she thought about it, when she went to see the emperor, many things were the matter between them.

It's not their turn to intervene.

So he said, "I respectfully send you to the Imperial Concubine."

Several maids immediately walked over, helped the concubine get up, and walked to the backyard. Chen Zixiao then stood up, looked at the slightly shaking bead curtain, and turned around and left.

Nanyan entered the backyard, so the place was naturally cleaned up in advance, and no other outsiders were walking around casually.

The garden is quiet.

Several maids led her, and soon they arrived outside the emperor's residence.

Xiao Shunzi was waiting outside bored, but when she saw her coming, she immediately came forward excitedly and knelt down and saluted: "Empress! Empress, you are here!"

Nan Yan smiled and raised his hand and made a "silent" gesture on his mouth.

He smiled and said, "Where is the emperor?"

Xiao Shunzi said: "The emperor didn't come back all night last night. He just returned to the Duwei Mansion this morning and is sleeping."

Nan Yan said: "Then, can I go in and meet the emperor?"

Xiao Shunzi immediately said: "Empress said this."

No one is allowed to enter the emperor's residence without being summoned. This is not only a rule, but also for the sake of the emperor's safety.

However, the imperial concubine in front of her is an exception.

When she was in the palace, she had such things more than once, and the emperor was quite indulging in her.

So Xiao Shunzi carefully pushed the door open and said softly: "The emperor is afraid that he hasn't woken up yet, so he whispered a little when the empress entered."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "I understand."

After saying that, he walked in and closed the door with his backhand.

In the room, there was only a deep breathing sound. Nanyan walked to the inner room with his hands and feet. He saw Zhu Feng lying on the bed, with most of the quilt falling on the ground, with only a corner still on his stomach, and he was sleeping soundly.

It seems that I am really sleepy.

She couldn't help but smile, walked over carefully, picked up the quilt, and gently covered him.

As if he felt something, Zhu Feng smacked his lips.
