Aunt Tongyun looked at Nanyan nervously.

But I saw her smile faintly.

Aunt Tongyun was stunned for a moment. At this critical moment, not to mention the emperor's safety, the matter in front of them alone would be enough to give them a headache. How could the imperial concubine still laugh?

But Nan Yan's smile even showed a little relief and satisfaction.

She whispered: "He doubts this, that's right."

“…”

"What people in the officialdom need to learn the most is doubt and choice. They cannot trust anyone easily, but they also choose to trust others when there are many crises."

“…”

"At this time, and this happened. If he had no thoughts, he would completely believe in me and rely on me, which might disappoint me."

“…”

Aunt Tongyun blinked and immediately understood.

To be fair, Li Busan's relationship with the imperial concubine was speculated by the government and the people. Almost everyone recognized this. At his wedding banquet, the emperor was assassinated by the bride's father. This happened. In addition to everyone in the Li family, it was difficult for the imperial concubine to completely get rid of the relationship.

The King of Wei suspected that she was a politician's quality.

But choosing to trust her is also a quality.

Both of these points mean that he has grown up and is not the child who can only rely on adults when encountering problems. At least, he will doubt, think, and choose.

Aunt Tongyun nodded and said, "I understand."

“…”

"But, Empress, you still have to be careful."

Anyone can see that the situation in front of him is full of dangers. If the emperor was still there, he could protect her, but now if there is anyone who wants to do anything, the imperial concubine is just a woman after all...

Even if she didn't say these thoughts, Nan Yan herself understood them.

Standing up at this time not only means doing things, but also means standing up in everyone's eyes. However, it is hard to say whether the benchmark or the enemy is standing up.

Nanyan naturally understood in his heart.

She just said calmly: "I know what I am doing."

After a while, the King of Wei came over.

He changed his clothes, and as soon as he entered the door, he saluted Nan Yan, and immediately said, "Empress, where are we going?"

Nan Yan knew that he was anxious, so he stood up with the armrest of the chair. However, as soon as he exerted force, another piercing pain came from his elbow, which made her brows furrowed.

The King of Wei hurriedly came forward to support her.

"Imperial Concubine, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Nan Yan smiled at him, then turned to instruct Wang Baizhi and Aunt Tongyun: "You just stay in Yonghe Palace to take care of the emperor. If you have any movement, send someone to report to the palace immediately."

The two responded: "Yes."

Nan Yan walked to the bed again, and attached himself to Concubine Ershun's ear and whispered: "No matter what medicine you use, my sister will check it first."

Concubine Shun whispered: "Don't worry."

Nanyan nodded and turned to Yingshao and said, "Sir Ying, can you bring a few personal soldiers to accompany me?"

Ying Shaoying had no expression on her face, and she just said calmly: "Please, Empress."

Nan Yan took King Wei, followed by Ying Shao and a team of fully armed soldiers, and Ruoshui followed her. The group took advantage of the night to walk out of Yonghe Palace.

The King of Wei thought she was going forward, after all, what they said just now was all things that needed to be resolved by the officials of the previous dynasty.

But Nanyan left Yonghe Palace, but went all the way north.

After passing Xuanqiong Gate, a tall palace appeared in front of them in the night.

It is Xuanqiong Temple.

There are many palaces in the palace, and the King of Wei often wanders around the harem, but this Xuanqiong Temple is rarely visited because it is mainly used to store Taoist scriptures. There are only a few eunuchs and Taoist boys guarding them here, and most of the time it is relatively deserted.

However, tonight was a little different.

As soon as they walked past Xuanqiong Gate, they saw the bright lights in the hall ahead and could faintly hear many people talking.

But at the gate, there were already rows of guards from the Imperial Camp. Although I could hear someone was shooting inside, no one dared to come out.

The avenue directly in front of the hall was also full of guards.

The King of Wei was a little surprised.

Why are there so many people in Xuanqiong Temple? Who are there?

What did the imperial concubine bring him here for?

While they were wondering, Nan Yan had already led them to the door, and the people guarding the door stood solemnly with the hilts in their hands. It was not until Nan Yan walked in front of them that they bowed down: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, to His Highness the King of Wei."

Nanyan nodded at them.

Although these people are guards in the palace, they can be regarded as Nan Yan’s acquaintances.

They were the ones who were in Handongwei before, but because Zhu Feng and Nanyan acted alone to get rid of them, they were held accountable by Chen Zixiao. They were not only beaten, but also withdrew their military status.

Before leaving, Nanyan felt guilty and asked Zhu Feng for an order and brought these people back to the capital.

Although these people made mistakes, they were smart and capable, but they were just calculating the emperor. After arriving in the capital, Nanyan threw them into the Imperial Guard to train, but unexpectedly, those who had worked in the border were indeed capable and were soon improved.

And they almost followed Nan Yan's orders.

Nan Yandao: "Are everyone inside?"

One of them was named Xiao Wen, who was the leader of these people. He immediately bowed to him and said, "Grandma, please rest assured, everyone is inside, and none of them left."

"very good,"

Nanyan nodded and said, "You are here. Without the orders of this palace, no one is allowed to leave, let alone anyone is allowed to come in."

"yes."

After saying that, Nan Yan said to King Wei and the others: "Go in."

The Xiao Wen and his men immediately pushed open the tall and heavy hall gate.

When he saw the gate, the lights and the noisy sound inside seemed to burst out, and suddenly rushed towards them. The King of Wei stood at the door, and when he saw the situation inside, he was immediately stunned.

The Xuanqiong Temple was actually full of officials from the court.

Some seemed to be very tired, sitting on chairs in the corner, some were sitting directly on futons, and some were angry, standing by doors and windows, roaring at outside.

As soon as the door opened, the imperial concubine brought the King of Wei in, shocking all the people.

For a moment, all the noisy sounds disappeared, and the hall was silent.

Both sides seemed to be looking at each other foolishly, and at first glance, the King of Wei immediately discovered that almost all the officials here were above the fourth rank, and even some old and serious officials were listed one by one!

What's going on?
