He slaughtered his way through the world, yet only to her was he gentle and restrained, showering her with a lifetime of deep affection!
...Chapter 2413 Inexplicable Panic
At this moment, the talented woman Xin Mimi who stayed in the palace was standing in front of Nan Yan. Her expression was still calm, but her eyes were flickering, and she was obviously a little erratic.
Nan Yan saw all of this.
Naturally, she also knew how much of an impact the scene this morning had on her. Although she came to inform on someone, her main purpose was to protect herself. She could never have imagined that Kang Biyun would take such a drastic way to end her life.
For a woman who had never seen blood on her hands, witnessing a life end like this must have had an impact.
I'm afraid she will continue to suffer for some time to come.
But what Nan Yan didn't know was that her back was already covered in cold sweat, which had soaked her underwear.
Nan Yan leaned back on the couch, changed into a comfortable position, and said, "Xin Cairen."
"What are your instructions, Madam?"
"You didn't spread the news about Concubine Kang, did you?"
"Of course not."
Xin Mimi's breath tightened for a moment, and she hurriedly shook her head: "The Queen has already said that she died suddenly of illness, that's it, she died suddenly of illness, and other than that, I don't know anything."
“…”
Nan Yan glanced at her and nodded slightly.
Then he asked, "Besides you and me, does anyone else know about this incident involving Kang Jieyu?"
When Xin Mimi mentioned this, she subconsciously thought of the agreement she had just made with Chen Lianxiang outside. She took a deep breath and said solemnly, "No."
"Oh? Are you sure?"
"Of course, how dare I deceive your majesty?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her for a while.
It's really hard to see any flaws. After all, the entire harem is in a panic now, and it will take time to find out the real mastermind behind the scenes.
So he said calmly: "Well, there is no need for me to remind you what to say and what not to say."
“…”
"You go back."
"yes."
Xin Mimi breathed a sigh of relief and turned away.

Two days later, Ye Zheng and Xu Shifeng's team set off south.
In order not to disturb the people in the city, the team gathered outside the city. Since Ran Xiaoyu could not leave the palace early, she asked Ye Zheng to come to the palace to pick her up early in the morning.
Nan Yan also planned to get up early to send them off.
However, before the time came, she suddenly felt a panic in her sleep and sat up abruptly from the bed.
When I opened my eyes, it was still dark outside.
She only felt her heart beating like thunder. She turned her head and looked around. Xinping was still the same as before, lying quietly, and there was nothing unusual.
She frowned, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and murmured, "What's going on?"
After a while, Aunt Tongyun's voice came from outside.
"My lady, are you awake?"
Because they wanted to send Ran Xiaoyu off, they all got up earlier than usual. They probably heard the noise inside and called her.
Nan Yan immediately said, "Come in."
Aunt Tongyun came in with a basin of water and a towel. Seeing Nanyan already sitting at the head of the bed, she smiled and said, "Your Highness, you got up so early today. It must be for Miss Xiaoyu."
"Uh-huh."
She walked over and saw the cold sweat on Nan Yan's forehead, and was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong, Madam?"
Nan Yan herself also said: "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a little anxious?"
"Nervous?"
Aunt Tongyun laughed and said, "I'm afraid you're having a nightmare."
"…nightmare?"
Nan Yan frowned and thought for a moment. She had woken up so suddenly that she couldn't remember if she had dreamed last night, or what she had dreamed about. Fortunately, her heartbeat had returned to normal. She simply got up and washed up, and then Ran Xiaoyu came in.
She had changed into a plain cloth dress, which made her baby face look even more charming and pretty. When Nan Yan looked her up and down, she couldn't help but blush.
He whispered, "What are you looking at, Madam?"
Nan Yan deliberately asked, "Why, you can't even stay for a moment, you can't wait to go with him right away?"
Upon hearing this, Ran Xiaoyu became anxious.
"It was you, Madam, who first suggested that I go."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
These days, Ran Xiaoyu has become much more mature and stable than before, and she is rarely seen anxious. But Nan Yan just likes to tease her.
When you get angry, you have to coax him.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."
She beckoned Ran Xiaoyu to come closer, took her hand, and pressed two banknotes into her hands. Ran Xiaoyu still refused to take them, but Nan Yan said softly, "You are my servant. When you go out on errands, you represent my reputation. I naturally cannot let you be timid. Take this money, buy some delicious food and fun things, and bring back some new things if you see them."
After a pause, he added, "Give it to Xinping."
Ran Xiaoyu understood immediately.
She no longer refused and said softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the things I brought for Her Highness will definitely be useful to her when she returns."
Nan Yan smiled.
At this time, Ye Zheng also came.
He walked in and bowed to Nan Yan: "Greetings, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan smiled at him and said, "This time you are going south, the mountains are high and the road is long. You must take good care of yourself, and you must also help me take good care of her."
Ran Xiaoyu rushed to say: "It is obvious that it is the servant who takes care of him."
Ye Zheng chuckled twice.
Nan Yan continued, "No matter who is taking care of whom, the emperor's instructions must be carried out well. If they are done well, it will also benefit your affairs. Do you understand?"
The two looked at each other and seemed to understand something.
Nodding gently: "Yes."
Nan Yan asked again, "We're about to set off, right? Besides the two of you, the only one left is General Xu, right?"
Ye Zheng said: "And that rough and rude brother."
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.
Li Shizong, is he going too?
She asked in confusion, "What is he going to do?"
Ye Zheng said disdainfully, "What can he do when he's sick? It's just that the weather has been too cold lately, and he said he couldn't stand it, so he followed us south."
"oh……"
Thinking back to Xu Shizhong's pale and sickly appearance, I'm afraid he will have a hard time surviving the winter.
Nan Yan said, "Okay, it's getting late. Don't delay your trip. Let's go."
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at her again and said softly and solemnly, "Take care, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan nodded.
She followed Ye Zheng out.
Nan Yan sat in the chair and watched them walk out. Finally, she couldn't help but stand up, walked to the door, and watched their backs go away and gradually disappear in the faint morning light.
Somehow, she suddenly remembered the panic she felt when she woke up in the morning.
In fact, it came out of nowhere.
Looking forward again, Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu had already walked far away, and their backs could no longer be seen.
She put her hands on her chest and said secretly: I hope everything goes smoothly on this trip south, and there must not be any setbacks.
