Concubine Shun glanced at her. Although Nan Yan didn't say anything, she seemed to have noticed something keenly.

So he said, "Okay."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "That's it."

After saying that, he squatted down and said seriously to the pair of children: "You will stay here tonight. But listen to Empress Shun, don't make any noise, let alone leave Yonghe Palace for half a step."

“…”

"If you don't obey, mom will hang you on the tree outside, do you know?"

The two children, one older and one younger, seemed to understand, but were shocked by their mother's serious appearance and nodded obediently.

Nan Yan looked up and said to Concubine Shun: "Sister doesn't have to be lenient. If they don't obey, just beat them."

“…”

If it were normal, Concubine Shun would naturally say a few words to her.

After all, he is the child of the imperial concubine, who dares to fight?

But at this time, looking at the expression on her face and thinking about what she had just said, Concubine Shun seemed to be able to feel the meaning of her entrusting, and she didn't answer this sentence.

He was silent for a moment and said, "Then, will the Empress stay in Yonghe Palace tonight?"

Nanyan said: "I have something to do."

“…”

Concubine Shun thought about it, but then didn't ask much.

He just said softly: "Empress must take care of herself more."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Of course, don't worry."

The two of them didn't talk much, and they all lit until they were finished. Nanyan walked to the bed and looked at Zhu Feng quietly for a while.

It's rare that he can be so relaxed when he is so nervous.

If he was still awake, facing all this would probably be easier and more at ease than himself. In comparison, he was so embarrassed.

But it doesn't matter.

Nan Yan smiled and whispered to him in his heart: "Just have a good rest."

"I will protect you."

“I will protect everyone.”

After saying that, she turned around and walked back, urged her children to let them listen to Empress Shun obediently, and then walked out herself.

She returned to the side hall, took a short rest, and had dinner.

Then, I changed into a dress

Originally, Ruoshui thought she was about to rest after changing her clothes, but unexpectedly, she changed into a piece of clothes for going out, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Empress, the palace gate is closed, where are you going?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Are you going to stay in Yonghe Palace tonight or follow me?"

“…”

In fact, Ruoshui is not very sensitive to danger.

Even though she was in the cabinet today, she had heard from outside that something might happen in the capital tonight, she was still not nervous at all. Nanyan asked her to do anything, and she did it step by step just like usual.

When she heard Nan Yan ask her, she said without thinking, "I serve the Empress, of course I will follow the Empress."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "What if I'm in danger if I'm following me?"

Ruoshuidao: "Don't care."

Nan Yan couldn't help laughing.

She asked Ruoshui to help her hair neatly again, and then got up and walked out. At this time, it was already dark. Ruoshui held a lamp in his hand and saw several nearby palaces, and the palace gates had been closed.

She couldn't help asking again, "Empress, where are we going?"

Nan Yandao: "Just follow."

Ruoshui didn't know how to ask anymore. He followed Nanyan and walked forward. A lantern could only shine on the ground in front of him. The two of them walked quietly in the narrow and quiet corridor. After a while, they walked to Yuehua Gate.

It just so happens that the door is about to close.

Nanyan took them out of Yuehua Gate.

Ruoshui was stunned.

You should know that Yuehua Gate is a door between the previous dynasty and the harem. The imperial concubine went out of this door at this time to meet the court officials.

But once this door was closed, she would not open tonight, and she would not be ready to go back tonight.

She closed her mouth more carefully and did not dare to say more.

Sure enough, Nanyan took her for a long journey and arrived at Wuying Hall.

The lights are brightly lit here.

Similarly, there are also noisy people.

"It's already the third day, why don't we go home?"

"Yes, if you don't go back, the old minister's family will be in chaos."

"Why don't Your Highness let us go back? We have already dealt with the affairs of the government. Should we really be locked up in the palace for the rest of our lives?"

"Please let us go back!"

Hearing these sounds, Nan Yan frowned slightly.

She asked Tingfu to come forward and open the door and walked in directly.

In Wuying Hall, all the ministers gathered here. They were originally dealing with the government affairs here during the day, but unexpectedly, at night, they refused to part ways.

On the third day, not only did the people in the city run out of patience, but these ministers were the same.

King Zhu Chengxuan, who was standing in the hall, was a little helpless for a moment when facing the endless begging of these old ministers.

If they were as aggressive as Ge Yunli, he could still take out the money for the King of Wei to kill and make a decision, but these old ministers begged one by one, which made him feel a little soft-hearted, but he could not let them go and was full of conflict.

He said, "You, you are like this."

At this time, Ruoshui stood at the door and shouted: "The Imperial Concubine is here!"

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly turned around and saw Nan Yan slowly walking in.

She said, "My dear friends, have you finished the government affairs? You are like going home?"

“…”

Ministers, look at me, look at you. Although they have all become quiet, there is a little resentment in their eyes.

After all, she forced the court officials to stay in the palace and refused to go home for several days. Such a thing has never been done by emperors of all dynasties. If she, a concubine, did this, it would arouse the anger of the court officials.

So Yan Gu stepped forward and said, "Empress Concubine, no matter whether the government affairs have been handled or not, from ancient times to the present, the court officials have not been locked in the palace and refused to go home. It is already the third day. When will the Empress lock us up?"

Nan Yan looked up at him, then looked at everyone again.

He said, "Everyone, do you really want to go home?"

Everyone immediately said, "Of course!"

Nan Yan said: "Okay, after dealing with these things, I will let you go home."

The gate of Wuying Palace opened again. Tingfu led a few eunuchs and walked in with stacks of documents. When he saw that it was reported from all over the country, some very trivial matters.

Generally speaking, the court discussed some major matters and trivial matters, which were left to the people below to deal with.

But now, the imperial concubine did this clearly delaying time.

The ministers' brows frowned even tighter.
