Chapter 3036 Who else could it be besides him?

Thinking of this, Nan Yan felt dizzy and the whole world became illusory.

Tingfu, who was standing by, saw her pale face and became a little worried. He whispered, "My Lady, what have you thought of?"

Nan Yan stumbled a step, reached out and grabbed Tingfu's arm, turned to look at him, and said in a deep voice: "Heyi, where is Heyi now?"

"Master Heyi?"

When Tingfu heard her suddenly ask about Heyi, and recalled what Zhu Chengjin had just said, his hair stood on end.

But he thought about it again and immediately said, "Your Majesty, you forgot that a few years ago at the Crown Prince's Mansion, the Emperor received news from General Xu and learned that Lord Ye had been in trouble. He then ordered Lord Heyi to be arrested."

“……!”

Nan Yan took a deep breath.

Yes, at that time He Yi had been captured by Ruan Hengzhou and his men and taken to the Dali Temple for questioning.

Later, torture was carried out.

In other words, the person who is taking action in Jinling City now is not him...

She nodded and said softly, "That's right. I remembered it the moment you mentioned it. He should still be in the prison of the Dali Temple and can't get out. The one in Jinling City must not be him, not him."

Thinking of this, she felt much better.

Whether from an emotional or other perspective, she didn't want it to be He Yi.

After all, they had been together for so many years and had developed some feelings for each other. She couldn't accept that someone who had been so close to them could have harbored evil intentions. If that was the case, what was the point of all their companionship over the years?

What's more, He Yi is a man with such deep scheming and cunning that the bottom has not been revealed until now.

If she really became his enemy, she would have no chance of winning.

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief, but Tingfu, who was supporting her, frowned again, looking at her expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Nan Yan frowned slightly: "What do you want to say?"

Tingfu thought for a moment and said softly, "Your servant, I may be overthinking it."

"Um?"

"I just remembered that before Lord Ruan took charge of the Dali Temple, the Dali Temple Minister was Ge Yunli."

When Nan Yan heard Ge Yunli's name, her heart sank again.

Ge Yunli, yes, before Ruan Hengzhou took over the Dali Temple, the Dali Temple Minister Ge Yunli had already colluded with the Earthly Immortals Association, which means that Ge Yunli was already Zhu Chengjin's man.

So, how many of his subordinates were bribed by him during the time when he was in charge of the Dali Temple?

If this is the case, then it is not impossible for He Yi to leave the Dali Temple prison!

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a headache.

After beating Ge Yunli to death, Zhu Chengxuan only suspected that there was something wrong with him personally and searched his house, but now that he thinks about it, maybe he should search the entire Dali Temple as well.

But it's too late to say this now.

If there really were Zhu Chengjin's men in the Dali Temple, and if He Yi was really Zhu Chengjin's men, then now—

Nan Yan reached out and hit her forehead hard, trying to keep herself awake.

Seeing him like this, Tingfu was so frightened that she grabbed her sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't be like this. You must take care of yourself. We are still on the boat and don't know anything. Maybe, maybe after we reach Jinling City, everything can be turned around."

“…”

"Besides, it may not be Master Hei."

Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Apart from him, who else could it be?"

Tingfu lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to speak. Nan Yan frowned and said, "It's already this late, just say whatever's on your mind. Even if you overstep your bounds, I can't have anyone drag you down and slap you in the face."

Tingfu smiled bitterly and looked up at her.

He said softly, "Your Majesty has forgotten that there was a man who once held a high position of power and who understood you and the Emperor best. But now, he has become an enemy of the court and has not appeared in a long time."

“……!”

Nan Yan's breath suddenly stopped.

The person Tingfu was talking about was not someone else, but Jian Ruocheng!

Yes, how could he forget?

Jian Ruocheng and He Yi used to be the left and right prime ministers of the Secretariat, and were Zhu Feng's most trusted ministers. However, Jian Ruocheng left earlier and the reason was even more tragic.

It was because of the extermination of the Jian family.

This matter has not been fully investigated until now, but Jian Ruocheng's departure has become an irreversible fact.

Looking back now, Jian Ruocheng had followed Prince Ning and fled to Changqing City, and later boarded the big ship on the sea with her. Of course, Nan Yan now knew that the mysterious man on the ship was Zhu Chengjin, and they separated after the storm.

But would Zhu Chengjin give up such a good opportunity in vain?

Just as Tingfu said, Jian Ruocheng used to be the right chancellor of the Secretariat and was one of the ministers that Zhu Feng relied on the most. He was very familiar with the court from top to bottom, and knew Zhu Feng and Nan Yan very well.

Could it really be him?

At that moment, countless thoughts came to Nan Yan's mind, making her feel suffocated. Ting Fu could only help her return to the cabin and said carefully, "Your Majesty, no matter what, it's not time yet. You must not lose your composure."

Nan Yan gritted her teeth, looked at him, and nodded slightly.

Now is definitely not the time to lose your composure.

In fact, she was not afraid, but she found it difficult to accept either of the two answers, because no matter whether it was He Yi or Jian Ruocheng, she could not face them at this time.

Not to mention fighting them to the death.

But no matter what, she had to be prepared to fight to the death. This time, it was even more difficult than before in the capital when Zhu Feng was seriously injured and unconscious, and she had to face the joint attack from the Earth Immortal Association and Neng at home and abroad with Zhu Chengxuan.

But, if it really is him...

With this little uneasiness, Nan Yan sat on the boat, watching the constantly changing scenery on both sides of the river. Although he had never been on this waterway before, he figured it out. It must be a route that Xingluo Lake had explored long ago that could bypass Xiajiang Town and Cuicang County and directly enter the waters under the jurisdiction of Jinling.

Sure enough, after walking for about three or four days, the surrounding scenery began to change.

After all, she grew up in Jinling City, and after becoming a royal concubine, she followed Zhu Feng in and out several times. Nan Yan immediately recognized that they were approaching Jinling City.

And on this morning, at dawn, Nan Yan got up and went to the deck.

I found that Zhu Chengjin and everyone else were standing at the bow of the ship.

The sunlight shines through the dark clouds into the distance, and the towering city walls can be seen faintly. When illuminated by the sunlight, they seem to be burning with flames.

That is Jinling City!

Just when Nan Yan was extremely nervous, suddenly, an earth-shaking roar came from the distant city wall.
