Nan Yan looked at their somewhat panic expressions, looked up at the inside, and said with a smile: "Did Master Miaoming say that this backyard is abandoned? What are you doing inside?"

"Well……"

"We, we-"

The few people were probably caught off guard and hesitated and couldn't speak. Finally, a girl who looked a little older last year said softly: "Oh, we, we just come here to clean up the things in the backyard."

"tidy?"

Nanyan looked them up and down again.

Then he smiled and stopped talking.

The girls were obviously a little panicked, so they saluted them, turned around and left in a hurry.

Nan Yan turned around, watched their backs disappear in front of him, and looked back at the iron gate that had been locked by iron chains. Zhu Feng walked over and weighed the heavy iron chain and lock.

Then he said, "Let's go."

So he took her back.

Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the silent backyard, and walked forward with Zhu Feng, while whispering: "Your Majesty, there must be something wrong with it."

"Um?"

"Those people said they were going in to pack things, but I looked at their clothes, with wide robes and big sleeves, and they didn't look like they packed things."

“…”

"People are also clean. If they really say that the backyard is deserted and not needed, then when you go in and clean it up, you should get some dust on your body."

“…”

"Looking at them, it's not like that."

Zhu Feng said: "This kind of thing is just a whitewashing of peace. You don't have to believe it, and Xu Miaoming may not think we will believe it."

Nan Yan frowned: "Hmm?"

Zhu Feng said, "You are looking at that door."

When Nan Yan heard this, he turned his head and looked at the iron gate locked in the backyard. It was locked tightly by iron chains and could only see inside through the gap between the fences, but there was also silence inside, and there was no movement.

Zhu Feng said: "This kind of iron gate, with iron chains, looks very locked, but in fact, it can be opened from the inside."

Nan Yan opened his eyes wide: "How to open it?"

Zhu Feng said: "With the key, it will be opened."

"Use the key?"

Nan Yan was puzzled and looked back again, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and said, "The emperor means that there may be a person in the backyard."

"Otherwise, those people just went in, would they really go clean?"

"What are you going to do?"

"If I guess correctly, I should go to deliver the meal."

“…”

"Although they didn't hold anything in their hands, I smelled the food from them. I probably had just delivered the food. In order not to attract the attention of people outside, I left after delivery, and probably waited until a little later, or the next meal, to take back the dishes."

Nan Yan felt his mind was in a mess for a moment.

She said, "The Emperor said there was a person locked in it."

Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It may not be locked up."

Nan Yan was even more puzzled: "It's not locked up, so why use iron chains?"

Zhu Feng smiled slightly: "Then let's see who the iron chain locks."

“…”

Nan Yan was stunned again, and after thinking about it, he understood: "That iron chain is actually blocking us?"

"good."

Zhu Feng walked forward and said, "Although I don't know why Xu Miaoming hid someone in the backyard and who was hiding, she obviously had no choice."

“…”

"It is even possible that because of this last resort, she has not recognized us before, just because she doesn't want us to meet people in the backyard. It was not until the Hang Seng Tourist Tour burned Gaosheng Inn and we had nowhere to go, that she asked someone to come and invite him."

“…”

"Then, I just saw the iron gate and iron chains, which seemed to be newly added."

“…”

"If you guessed correctly, you probably don't want us to have contact with the person locked in the backyard, so I added it temporarily."

After he explained this, Nan Yan seemed to understand a little.

But, he was even more confused.

She said: "The emperor means that there is a person living in the backyard. In order not to let us know who that person is and not let us contact that person, Xu Miaoming locked the door of the backyard and locked it with an iron gate. In this way, if the person inside wants to come out, he can also unlock it from the inside. The door actually locked us outside."

Zhu Feng nodded and said, "Not bad."

"That--"

Nan Yan frowned and said, "Who is the person inside?"

Zhu Feng also looked back.

At this time, they had walked a long way and could not see the door in the backyard. Zhu Feng only glanced at it, then turned around and continued to walk forward, and said lightly: "I don't care who it is."

Nan Yan was stunned and turned to look at him: "Don't the emperor want to figure it out?"

“…”

"Realistically speaking, Xu Miaoming is the sister of Empress Renxiao, and I dare not talk too much about her affairs. However, the situation is special now, and a slight mistake may affect the safety of the emperor. Moreover, she appeared too coincidental and did too coincidental."

“…”

"I have no choice but to let this go."

Zhu Feng walked forward and said, "I understand your worries, but Xu Miaoming has been a monk outside for more than ten or twenty years. She has her own world. There are more or less secrets in this world, so we don't need to worry about it."

Nan Yan didn't expect that he would be so relaxed.

Or, don't worry.

His eyebrows were twisted into a lump and he said, "But what if her secret is related to the Emperor's dealing with Xingluohu this time?"

“…”

"I heard Ruoshui say before leaving the palace that she had never built a house here before, and at this time of previous years, she would not stay in Xiajiang Town."

“…”

"Why did she show up here this time?"

Seeing that Nan Yan was already speaking a little rushing, this was not the attitude a concubine should have when speaking to the emperor.

Zhu Feng stopped and turned to look at her.

In contrast, he was the calmer person, although there was a little puzzling glow in his deep eyes.

Nan Yan was seen by his gaze, and for some reason, his heart trembled slightly.

I heard Zhu Feng slowly say: "Everyone has his own secret."

“…”
