Yu Jingchen propped his head up with one hand. What's wrong with him lately? Why does he keep thinking about things related to Nan Zhiyun? So much time has passed, and memories of many things should gradually fade.

However, his memories of Nan Zhiyun seemed to be becoming clearer. Things he hadn't considered before, he was now starting to care about.

“Let’s deal with it slowly,” Yu Jingchen suddenly said.

"What is Your Majesty saying?" Fortunately, he did not fully understand.

“Practicing witchcraft in the palace and framing concubines is a capital offense,” Yu Jingchen added.

"Then..." Xinglai was somewhat surprised. Didn't His Majesty just say that Consort Nan should find out who it was and produce evidence herself? How come now...?

"So there's no need to rush things. Let her take her time to find it. I don't need to tell you how to use the methods in the palace." Yu Jingchen said meaningfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Xinglai replied.

Yu Jingchen meant it was a slow process... Fortunately, it must be said that His Majesty seems to care more and more about Consort Nan now. Not only does he openly protect her, but he also actively helps Consort Nan resolve any potential troubles.

Having dealt with this matter, Yu Jingchen forced himself to stop dwelling on it. Besides Nan Zhiyun, he had many other things to do. Winter had already arrived, and he remembered that this winter in his previous life had been filled with trouble, such as snow disasters, leaving many people without warm clothing, shelter, or food. It had even sparked riots in several areas.

In his previous life, Nan Su contributed a lot during the snow disaster. Because some disaster areas were not far from the border, these sudden events caught everyone off guard. Nan Su had not even had time to report to Yu Jingchen, nor had he received Yu Jingchen's orders before he went to provide disaster relief and quell the riots.

Although the matter was resolved, Yu Jingchen wanted to use this opportunity to punish Nan Su for dereliction of duty. However, because Nan Su had made great contributions and was highly respected by the people, Yu Jingchen not only did not punish him but also rewarded him in order to comply with public opinion.

However, all of this displeased Yu Jingchen. No emperor would tolerate a subject whose prestige surpasses his own, let alone a military general who commands a large army. Moreover, the Nan family had always been someone he feared.

But in this life… Yu Jingchen seemed to be deep in thought; there were some things that needed to be resolved.

He'an Hall

Despite what happened today, Yu Jingchen still had Nan Zhiyun move to He'an Palace.

The layout of He'an Hall is similar to that when Nan Zhiyun lived here before. Although Yu Jingchen doesn't know what the layout is like here, his subordinates can still remember it.

"Jieyu, let me help you change your clothes first. You must be tired after a long day," Qianxia said.

"No need," Nan Zhiyun said, her interest waning.

"You must have been frightened today, Consort. It's alright, His Majesty didn't blame you. Besides, it seems like His Majesty is on your side, Consort. He's been protecting you after what happened today," Qianxia comforted Nan Zhiyun.

"Qianxia, ​​is His Majesty really different?" Nan Zhiyun asked.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Qianxia asked.

“But I’m scared…” Nan Zhiyun said to Qianxia.

“Jieyu…” Qianxia truly felt sorry for Nan Zhiyun.

"Never mind, let's change." Nan Zhiyun didn't want to think about it anymore, so she turned around and went to the inner room.
