Nan Yan was not angry, but just glanced at her faintly.

Then he said, "Don't be afraid."

“…”

"You are not the only one who has this idea. Even when I first entered the palace, I had this idea."

“…”

"Women enter the palace and follow men, and there is no other way to live except for the Israelites."

The dragonfly whispered: "But the empress is not."

“…”

"You know everything, you know what you want to do, what you should do, and even what you should do."

Nanyan glanced at her and said with a smile: "Why, I think I am too idle?"

The dragonfly shook his head gently.

He said: "I just think that I may, maybe, in my life, never be like the Imperial Concubine."

Nan Yan stood up and sat upright, looking at her seriously: "Isn't it better to be yourself? Why do you have to be like this?"

“…”

The dragonfly lowered her head and didn't say anything.

Nan Yan looked at her, and after a while, he said, "You are still young."

After that, the two of them didn't say anything. Dragonfly stood under the eaves and guarded. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Tingfu came back from outside, and told Nanyan in frustration that he had not found any news.

Nan Yan thought for a while and said, "It seems that the war is still anxious."

Tingfu nodded.

Unfortunately, they are too far from the riverside. Even if they hit the sky, they can't hear any wind here, so they can only wait for the final result.

Tingfu stood for a while and suddenly said, "By the way, although there is no news outside, I heard that after the Empress left, Zhu Chengjin sent another team of troops out, as if he was going to do something by the river."

"oh?"

"Empress, what did you say he was going to do?"

“…”

Nan Yan thought quietly for a while, and sneered coldly: "If the eye drops I put in front of him before were useful, what he should be most concerned about now is Xu Shifeng crossing the river."

"General Xu crosses the river?"

"Xu Shizong is sorry for Empress Renxiao. He must feel guilty for his only younger brother. On the battlefield, he will definitely not be able to kill him, but continuing to let General Xu be in Jiangbei will only cause greater trouble here."

“…”

"If I guessed correctly, he should want to capture Xu Shifeng alive and let him cross the river to serve Zhu Chengjin."

When Tingfu heard this, his face changed: "Can you?"

Nan Yan sneered and said, "Xu Shizong is loyal to his orthodoxy, but Xu Shifeng is also his own loyalty. In this regard, the two brothers cannot be reconciled. Otherwise, after the incident, Xu Shifeng would not have made such a big noise in Jiangbei."

Listening to Fu, he thought for a while and said, "I also believe in General Xu."

"Um."

"So, will Zhu Chengjin stop Xu Shizong from acting?"

Nan Yan said: "Of course he will."

Tingfu frowned.

Afterwards, he ran out twice, but there was still no news.

Even that night, Zhu Chengjin did not invite Nanyan to Wuying Hall for meals. After dark, the imperial kitchen sent some meals. Nanyan Cao had used it and sat on the bench under the eaves for a while, but still didn't wait for any news. Dragonfly and the others urged her several times, so she went back to the house to rest.

But everyone knows that this night, not to mention them, even the entire Jinling City has few people who can sleep.

On a quiet night, every gust of wind outside blew, Nanyan suspected that it was the movement on the river.

Even when she was sleeping in a daze, she seemed to be able to see the figure shaking in front of her.

"Who is it..."

Nanyan opened a thread of eyes in confusion, only looking at the curling blue smoke rising from the incense burner not far from the bed. With a faint wind spreading in the air, she tried her best to open her eyes, but she felt extremely tired.

Until one hand reached over and gently stroked her forehead.

Even gently wiped her eyelids.

She seemed to be soothed, and slowly closed her eyes under the soothing of a familiar breath.

However, after sleeping for a while, she suddenly woke up with excitement and opened her eyes to look at her empty and quiet room, with no one, only the cold moonlight shone through the window, and the bedside was white, like ice.

"Come!"

Nan Yan was sweating all over and suddenly shouted: "Come on!"

There were only a few people in the harem of Jinling Palace. As soon as she spoke, the entire Yikun Palace was awakened. Voices came from outside. After a while, several lanterns were shaking and approaching. Tingfu and the others were wearing their clothes and walked to her door: "Empress, what's wrong?"

"Where are people?"

"Who?"

Tingfu had no choice but to walk in with another little palace maid carrying a lantern. He saw Nanyan sitting by the bed, sweating in cold. Although the little palace maid usually dared to approach Nanyan, there was no one else at this time. She could only come and lift the curtains, hold a handkerchief and wipe Nanyan's sweat.

Tingfu stood far away: "Empress, what happened?"

“…”

Nan Yan frowned and looked at the faces in front of her, which were pale by the lanterns, just like a ghost face. Fortunately, the little palace maid immediately took a candle and lit the candlesticks in the room, illuminating the entire Yikun Palace, and she calmed down a little.

He looked around and murmured, "Did I see it wrong?"

Tingfu whispered: "Empress, what's wrong?"

Nan Yan looked at them, his face changed, and he finally woke up, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just had a nightmare."

Tingfu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When the little palace maid brought the clothes over and put them on Nanyan, he dared to get closer and presented Nanyan with a cup of hot tea. Nanyan took a sip and looked outside: "How is it? Is there any news?"

Tingfu shook his head.

However, he attached himself to Nanyan's ear and said softly: "But tonight, Zhu Chengjin will live in Jiaotai Hall."

"oh?"

When Nanyan heard this, she raised her eyebrows.

She did not forget that Zhu Chengjin had asked Ye Zheng to choose a concubine for him in Jinling City. After all, he wanted to prepare for the upcoming throne ceremony. It seems that tonight is going to-

Thinking of this, Nan Yan frowned again.

She did not forget how she was sent to Jiaotai Hall back then.

It is easy to change the country and nature is hard to change. I don’t know who will be sent to Jiaotai Hall tonight, and it will also be sent to the gates of hell.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of something, looked up at the surroundings, and then asked Tingfu: "Where is the dragonfly?"

She has been serving in Yikun Palace. She always runs very fast if Nanyan has any problems.

But tonight, she was not seen.
