Chapter 162 Illusion?

She looked around and saw nothing.

Maybe it's just my own illusion.

The carriage traveled for a long time in Yongzhou City. The city was not small and had experienced the baptism of war. Some places in the city had not been fully restored, and even traces of destruction left after the war could be seen.

Nan Yan couldn't help but feel confused.

The people in Nan'an Town said that this battle was not really a war, and it didn't seem to be the case.

What is going on?

It was completely dark when their convoy finally arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion.

Prince Jing's Mansion, along with all the officials from Yongzhou, came to welcome the emperor. Nan Yan saw several female relatives standing at the door of the palace at a glance. The one with the most exquisite and solemn makeup was undoubtedly Princess Zhao Yan of Prince Jing. Behind her were several beautiful women.

One of them was particularly outstanding because of her exquisite makeup, hair full of pearls and jade, and enchanting appearance. At first glance, she was obviously a favored noble lady.

I think it must be Mrs. Tong.

That night, a grand banquet was held in Prince Jing's mansion to welcome the emperor.

As a female official, Nan Yan naturally had to follow behind the emperor. At the banquet, there was naturally all kinds of drinking and beautiful singing and dancing girls to liven up the atmosphere. The emperor and the Prince Jing brothers met again not long after their separation, and they were very affectionate, as if everyone had forgotten the previous disagreement in the imperial garden.

The two of them chatted back and forth and drank quite a bit.

Nan Yan stood behind Zhu Feng, feeling a bit of a headache watching him drink like this, almost emptying the glass, and talking and laughing loudly with Zhu Xuan. For a moment, the atmosphere at the banquet was very good, so good that Nan Yan was a little confused - what on earth was he doing here?

Moreover, she felt a little uneasy.

From the time she left the inn this morning until she arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, she didn't see a single familiar figure in the crowd.

Ye Zheng and Cui Yuanmei cannot be found.

Even Jian Ruocheng disappeared.

What was going on? These people had clearly been wandering around Nan'an Town with her yesterday, asking Zhu Feng for information. How could they have disappeared overnight?

There were unfamiliar faces all around, which made Nan Yan feel isolated and helpless.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her.

On such a hot and humid night, it feels like a branding iron, burning my skin.

She subconsciously raised her head, but couldn't see who it was.

illusion?

After waiting until midnight, the banquet finally ended.

Princess Jing was about to help Zhu Xuan leave, but Madam Tong behind her beat him to the punch. He placed his entire body on Madam Tong, blushing and saying to the people around him, "Serve the Emperor well."

Immediately, two beautiful maids came over and wanted to support Zhu Feng.

Nan Yan's mind got hot, and she suddenly said, "I'll do it."

No one around was paying attention to her, but when she suddenly spoke, everyone was stunned. Even the two maids took a step back after noticing her.

Zhu Xuan recognized her at a glance.

A hint of sneer appeared in those eyes that were red from drunkenness, and she said, "So it's - Lady Shangbao. We meet again."

Nan Yan bowed and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

Zhu Xuan sneered and said, "Since the female official is here, you can go and rest."

At his command, those beautiful maids naturally retreated, and Nan Yan supported Zhu Feng and walked towards the room they had arranged.
