Soon, the words came back to Zhu Chengjin's ears. His face was gloomy and he said coldly: "Did she say she couldn't go, or did the military advisor say she didn't let her go?"

Several people who passed the message looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.

After all, they were all outside the house in the past and did not enter Xu Shizong's room. It was Xiaoman who came out to pass the message that the imperial concubine would not go to Yikun Palace for the time being.

But no one knows whether Si Nanyan didn't go by himself or Xu Shizong didn't let her go.

Just when everyone didn't know how to deal with it, the few people who had been standing next to him and remained silent were the confidants beside Zhu Chengjin. A person in his forties or fifties, with a slightly fat figure and a smile on his face, but his squinting eyes often showed a cunning look. He was named Guo Mi. Before Xu Shizong came to Zhu Chengjin, he and Long Tingyun were always Zhu Chengjin's think tanks.

Of course, after Xu Shizong came, he was the one who made the decision on the big things, so they had to follow them and fight.

Another person named Lu Guangwei, who was in his early thirties, was a general under Zhu Chengjin, and was also the one who escaped from Jinling City after him.

The two looked at each other, Lu Guangwei winked at Guo Mi. Guo Mi nodded and immediately stepped forward and said, "Young Master, Si Nanyan is now in the hands of the young master. Isn't it just a word for the young master? Is she that brave?"

Lu Guangwei immediately said: "Yes, if no one supports her, will she dare say that?"

Zhu Chengjin was calm and didn't say anything.

Guo and Lu looked at each other carefully. They were naturally a little jealous of Xu Shizong snatching their limelight and their real power in recent years. However, this person is really smart. It is indeed his turn to Zhu Chengjin to have the situation today. Therefore, no matter how resentful they resent, they even complained in front of Zhu Chengjin more than once, but their major affairs still depend on this person.

Guo Mi thought about it and said with a smile: "Of course, we also know that the military advisor has helped the young master a lot in major matters, but that Si Nanyan is just a woman. He has to take care of such small matters, which is a bit unworthy of the young master."

"Okay,"

Zhu Chengjin said in a deep voice: "I know there is a big deal, so I will finish the big deal first. That woman——"

Thinking of this, a little cold light flashed in his eyes.

"I have my own arrangements."

The two of them stopped saying more, and some things were enough to say the point.

So they all stepped down and stopped talking.

That night, Nan Yan was still in the queue room behind Wuying Hall, and the surroundings were very quiet. Except for the time when he heard Tingfu, who was guarding the door, being harassed by mosquitoes, he kept muttering and slapped, the entire palace seemed to have quieted down.

But she knew that this night was a sleepless night for many people.

Early the next morning, she woke up.

However, it was not because I woke up from sleep, but because I was smothered by the strong smell of medicine.

Nan Yan washed up and pushed the door out. Sure enough, he saw that at the door of the room next to him, Xiaoman squatted in front of the stove, shaking the fan to boil medicine. While boiling the medicine, he turned his head and looked away worriedly.

Following his eyes, he was at the Wuying Palace.

Seeing Nanyan get up, Tingfu and Dragonfly get busy as well.

Although the girl Dragonfly was a lady from a noble family, when she arrived in front of Nanyan, even the lady of everyone could only obey. At this time, she herself understood that only Nanyan could protect her, so she followed Tingfu in and out. After Nanyan finished washing up, she asked Tingfu: "Is the one next door not in the room?"

Tingfu immediately said, "I was called away early in the morning."

"Is Zhu Chengjin called him away?"

"Yes."

"Is there anything wrong?"

Tingfu leaned into her ear and said softly: "When it was early and before dawn, I heard a noise from the Nangong Gate. The palace gate was opened. Then, within a while, Changsui, who was named Ge Long, hurried over to ask Master Xu to come over and say something was going to happen."

"What's wrong?"

"I heard that I'm going to kill someone again."

"kill?"

Nan Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. He wanted to say that before, the day before, Zhu Chengjin had almost killed all the palace maids and eunuchs who stayed in the Jinling Palace, and now he is killing people again?

Who should I kill?

She thought about it and suddenly understood something and couldn't help but chuckled.

Tingfu said: "Empress, do you know who is killing over there?"

Nanyan did not answer him, but thought for a while, got up and brushed his clothes, smoothed the collar, cleaned his sleeves, then walked out of the door and walked to Xiaoman who was cooking medicine. He was lifting the lid and watching inside, a strong smell of medicine made Nanyan take two steps back and almost fell.

Fortunately, Dragonfly held her with quick eyes and hands.

Nan Yan said: "Your young master hasn't come back yet?"

Xiaoman looked up at her and said softly, "Young Master is going to do the important business."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Your young man is so sick that he has to rely on these bowls of medicine to prosper. He still has to do those 'main business'. It's really pitiful."

Although this Xiaoman is a servant next to Xu Shizong, it is because he always only does things indifferently, and does not care about external affairs and is not so careless that Xu Shizong keeps him by his side.

Hearing Nan Yan's words, he didn't react much. He just glanced at Nan Yan, and still lowered his head to concentrate on boiling the medicine.

At this time, a light cough came from behind.

Only hearing Xu Shizong's weak voice sounded—

"I didn't expect that the concubine was still concerned about the sick body."

Nan Yan turned around and saw Xu Shizong slowly coming from behind. He was called over early in the morning and had not had a good rest. His eyes were covered with large shadows and his eyes were red. Moreover, looking at his coughing violently, it was obvious that he had been angry just now.

Xiaoman hurried over and supported him.

Nan Yan looked down at the medicine jar at his feet, turned around and smiled at Xu Shizong, saying, "Looking at Master Xu like this, I'm afraid this medicine won't last long for you."

Xu Shizong didn't answer this, and walked back to the room and sat down with a cough. Xiaoman immediately came out and poured the medicine into a bowl and sent it to him.

Nanyan also followed in.

Seeing Xu Shizong sitting on the head of the bed, coughing so hard that his waist could not be straightened, he said with a smile: "If you want to dissuade Zhu Chengjin from killing people, it is probably more tiring than the young master planning for him to do the big things in the world."

Xu Shizong raised his eyelids: "Do you know?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "I can only stay here, what can I know?"

Xu Shizong still looked at her.

Nan Yan continued, "But it's not difficult to guess."

"oh?"

"He is going to start killing the officials who stayed in Jinling City."
