"Or, even my uncle is so brave to let a person with unknown identity and unknown origin follow the imperial concubine of the dynasty?"

Nan Yan's expression furious: "She hides her identity? She, who is she?"

Zhu Chengjin sneered: "Do you, the imperial concubine of the dynasty, know that under the command of Emperor Gao, there is a great general Lan Shiming who has made great achievements?"

"Lan Ten Life?"

As soon as he heard this name, Nan Yan's brows immediately frowned.

Of course she knew that Lan Shiming was the most powerful award under Emperor Gao. After the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, he was also a high-ranking official and a high-ranking minister. He was very favored by Emperor Gao. Even when he was seriously ill, Emperor Gao personally took the imperial physician to see him and even gave him a goose.

But, this is just superficial.

Zhu Feng told him that Lan Shiming was poisoned by the poison "Geese crossing without scars", and "Geese crossing without scars" is the secret poison used by Da Nei to give death.

Lan Shiming, what does it have to do with Ran Xiaoyu?

Zhu Chengjin smiled and said, "The death of General Lan may be able to deceive everyone, but of course, it cannot deceive his family. After his death, his family left the imperial power center and returned to his hometown to retire. Emperor Gao was worried about them and sent people to keep an eye on them for many years until he passed away, and no one mentioned this matter again."

Nan Yan frowned: "So what?"

Zhu Chengjin said coldly: "But later, my people discovered that Lan Shiming's granddaughter, a girl named Lan Xiaoyu, suddenly disappeared."

“…”

"I sent someone to investigate the whereabouts of the girl and found that she went around several times, washed away her origin and identity, and finally got the opportunity to enter the palace and became a candidate."

Nan Yan widened his eyes: "She, is she Ran Xiaoyu?"

"good."

"Then she enters the palace—"

Zhu Chengjin sneered: "I think I want to go to the palace to take revenge. However, when she got the opportunity to enter the palace, Emperor Gao had passed away. But she was not discouraged. Even if she assassinated me, it would be considered revenge."

Nan Yan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered a lot of past events. Regarding Ran Xiaoyu, although she was a selective servant, she was not as delicate as other girls. Instead, she had great strength and had good skills. When Nan Yan asked her, she only answered two words-

Homeschool.

Moreover, she still remembered that when the two were joking, Ran Xiaoyu suddenly said something inexplicably depressed, "I should have been a short-lived person." At that time, she was wondering, Ran Xiaoyu was so strong, and she was only eighteen or nineteen years old. She was in her prime, so why did she show such a cold and sad expression and say such unlucky words?

Now that I think about it, she understands it too.

Her grandfather was Lan Shiming, a former pillar of the country. She survived through life and death on the battlefield. She was jokingly called Ten Life, but died at the hands of the people she was loyal to.

Such "Ten Destinies" are really ironic, probably because she would say that she should have lived a short life.

It turned out that she entered the palace and became a select attendant in order to assassinate the emperor to avenge revenge.

And then-

Nan Yan frowned: "If she wants to take revenge, then she has been with me over the years and is considered close to the emperor. Why hasn't she ever attacked me once?"

When talking about this, a trace of concealment flashed across Zhu Chengjin's face.

He glanced at Nan Yan coldly and sneered, "Yes, even I was strange. When I asked her, she actually said - following you makes her feel like she has lived again and is like a real person. It seems that in the past ten years, she has lived for revenge, not alone."

Speaking of this, Zhu Chengjin's expression added a hint of hideousness.

"People should live for revenge! If you don't get revenge, what's the point of living!"

Nan Yan frowned and looked at him.

She naturally knew that Zhu Chengjin had never given up seeking revenge in Zhu Feng over the years, and Ran Xiaoyu... she didn't expect that she had made her give up her belief in revenge.

Looking back, I really didn't do anything for her. Most of the time, she was born and died for her.

When the two of them are together, they are always fighting and talking and laughing, which is very common.

It turns out that such days are like a kind of redemption for Ran Xiaoyu, making her feel that she lives like a person.

Thinking of this, Nan Yan felt even more sad.

But then, she woke up again and stared at Zhu Chengjin coldly and said, "Since she has given up taking revenge, since she is loyal to this palace, why will she belong to you again?"

Zhu Chengjin sneered: "Of course, it's because I discovered her identity."

“…”

"If you tell you this identity to the world - even if it is not, you just tell you, or my uncle, do you think Ran Xiaoyu still have a chance to stay with you?"

Nan Yan widened his eyes: "You, you threaten her with this?!"

Zhu Chengjin sneered.

Nan Yan clenched his fists hard, and even his fingers were squeezing.

For Ran Xiaoyu, who has been living under the shadow of revenge, her life is in danger. But finally, she followed her side and found the real meaning of living for herself. At this time, if someone knows her true identity - maybe she won't say anything, and she will even help her hide it, but can Zhu Feng tolerate her? Even if the ministers in the court know, what will happen?

After all, she entered the palace with the intention of assassination.

Therefore, in order to preserve the warmth in front of him, Ran Xiaoyu could only surrender to Zhu Chengjin and was forced to obey him.

Nan Yan gritted his teeth and said, "When did it start? Changqing City, when did King Ning rebel?"

Zhu Chengjin raised his eyebrows slightly: "How did you know?"

Nan Yan said in a deep voice: "That was the first time you appeared in person."

“…”

"And Xiaoyu, she also left the sight of the emperor and the palace, and only took the princess to go there alone. After that - you don't have such a good opportunity, nor do you have such a long time to coerce her."

Zhu Chengjin chuckled and admitted: "Not bad."

"so--"

Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "You admitted it. Later, you had contacted her at least once. Even if you didn't do it yourself, you would have asked your people to see her and coerce her, right?"

Zhu Chengjin said: "Oh? You are talking about—"
