That night, Nan Yan didn't close his eyes at all.

She didn't even take a nap, and just sat on the head of the bed, holding her sleeping daughter with one hand, and looking at the dark night outside the window slowly revealing a little milky white morning light.

It's going to dawn.

And all night, the outside was not at ease. Because the people in the South Court had experienced a previous riot, this time the war in the north of the city was tightly guarded. Even if the Yue army in the north of the city had retreated, they did not relax their vigilance. So throughout the night, Nanyan could hear the sound of the patrol team passing by from time to time outside.

But this time, she heard some other voices. It was obvious that someone entered the mansion. She stood outside the courtyard and said a few words, but did not come in.

She hurriedly let go of Xinping and immediately got up and got out of bed.

Xinping was awake and slept very alert. He immediately opened his eyes and asked in a daze: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Nan Yan didn't even take off her clothes, she just brushed her clothes and made it cleaner, and then turned around and said, "It's okay, you'll sleep with you."

After saying that, he pushed the door and walked out.

The sky was still very dark outside, and there was only a little white fish belly in the far east horizon, but the entire Nanyuan was brightly lit and there were alert people everywhere. As soon as Nanyan walked out, he saw several people standing at the gate of the courtyard, with someone next to him holding a light, outlining their familiar outlines.

It was King Zhu Chengjun of Han, Wei Ying, Wen Wuyu and others following him.

Nan Yan immediately said: "Cheng Jun?"

When Zhu Chengjun heard her voice, he turned his head and saw a happy smile on his face covered in smoke. He hurriedly ran over. Because he rushed too hard, he almost hit her. He rushed to stop and then said with a smile: "Mom!"

Wei Ying and the others also hurried over and saluted Nan Yan respectfully: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."

Nan Yan looked down and saw that their hair was messy and their clothes were covered with blood and dust. Obviously, after a big battle, there was even a little ashes on their faces, making their handsome faces look like cats. Although they didn't see them killing the enemy with their own eyes, they could imagine how they lived this night just by looking at the appearance of a few children.

But fortunately, they all came back safely.

Nan Yan couldn't stop smiling and said, "You are all back."

Zhu Chengjun said happily: "I'm back, I'll come over to pay my respects as soon as I come back. I just heard that my mother is still resting, so I didn't dare to disturb me."

Nan Yan said: "What's the matter? Last night was your first time on the battlefield. After returning from victory, I should personally welcome you."

Zhu Chengjun said with a smile: "What is a small victory?"

"Yo, you're still modest."

A voice of Xinping sounded behind Nan Yan. Everyone looked up and saw that she had put on her clothes, but her hair was not combed, so she ran over happily. Nan Yan glared at her and scolded her for not being like this. But Xinping didn't care about this. She ran to her brother and looked him up and down, and then said, "Is it really a win?"

Zhu Chengjun immediately raised his small breasts.

Wei Ying behind him also smiled and bowed to Xinping: "Your Highness Princess, don't doubt that His Highness, the King of Han won a great victory last night, which made the people of Yue frightened. In the future, they will probably tremble when they mention His Highness," he said.

When Xinping heard this, his eyes bent up with laughter.

She reached out and pounded Zhu Chengjun's shoulder hard and said, "It's not bad, tell me quickly, how did this battle be fought."

Zhu Chengjun's eyes rolled and he deliberately smiled, "Sister, guess."

Xinping immediately pouted: "How can I guess?"

Seeing them like this, Nanyan stood aside and laughed, saying, "He must have taken Wei Ying and the others to fight to Doubei Town. The battle in the north of the city was so powerful last night, and the troops in Doubei Town must have been transferred to the north of Yongzhou City, with wide doors, so they could take advantage of the opportunity. In the middle of the night, they saw a fire there. You must have burned other people's things."

“…”

"It's food, right?"

Zhu Chengjun couldn't speak for a moment.

Even Wei Ying and Wen Wuyu, who were standing behind him, opened their eyes wide in surprise, and several people looked at each other. Finally, Wei Ying stuttered: "Empress, have you gone to the city tower to watch the battle?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "I have been waiting for news here all night, how could I go to the city tower to watch the battle?"

Zhu Chengjun said: "How could the mother know what we did? It's just like seeing it with her own eyes."

Nan Yan smiled, and simply waved his hand to let them enter the house, and asked someone to send some refreshments. These children had to work hard all night and must have been tired and hungry. She sat on the chair and then said slowly: "What's wrong with guessing this? Your father specially transferred you from the capital to let you participate in the war, but this is your first battle, and he will definitely not really let you fight with the main team of Yue."

“…”

"This is a clever battle. You don't have to kill the enemy, just shock the people in Doubei Town."

“…”

"I see that you still have ash and some grains on you. You may even burn other people's food and grass."

Wei Ying and Wen Wuyu were so surprised that they couldn't speak.

This plan, even they didn't know before they set out, was written very clearly in the letter to the King of Han. He could not tell anyone before he started. The imperial concubine knew such top secret information.

Zhu Chengjun said in disbelief: "Mom, why do you know everything?"

“…”

"Did the father tell you?"

Nan Yan smiled faintly and said, "How could your father tell me this?"

Zhu Chengjun was even more surprised: "Mom, did you guess it?"

“…”

"How could you guess?"

Sitting aside, looking at him in surprise, waved his hand and said, "You underestimate your mother too much. Your mother is a worm in the belly of your father. She knows whatever the father wants."

Nan Yan reached out and poked her hard.

However, after laughing, she felt something was wrong in her heart, so she turned around and looked outside.

The sky gradually became brighter, lanterns and torches were extinguished everywhere in the southern courtyard, and the palace maids and eunuchs also began to get busy, but there was no movement outside.

Where is Zhu Feng?

She couldn't help but frown slightly and asked, "Where is your father? Why haven't you come back yet?"

As soon as he heard this, the room immediately became quiet.

Nan Yan turned his head and saw Wei Ying and Wen Wuyu immediately lowered their heads and looked at their young son again. His eyes flashed a little. After a moment of silence, he said softly: "Father...Father hasn't come back yet."

"Didn't come back?"
