Chapter 3061: Military Advisor Cannot Control the Harem

Zhu Chengjin's expression suddenly changed.

He said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?"

Nan Yan continued to drink the soup from the bowl. After finishing it, she put the bowl down and slowly wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief. Then she said, "What do you mean? Your last name is Zhu, and you still need to ask me this?"

“…”

Zhu Chengjin didn't speak immediately.

He stared at Nan Yan intently, and after a long while, he suddenly sneered: "You want to sow discord."

Nan Yan remained calm and said, "If you want to say that, that's fine."

“…”

"However, throwing the baby out with the bathwater is not something someone entering the Jinling Imperial Palace should do."

Zhu Chengjin asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Nan Yan said, "Do you even need to ask? It's just that—because they know I'm trying to sow discord, they turn a deaf ear to my words. This is called throwing the baby out with the bathwater."

“…”

"Just think about it. Now I'm all alone—oh, with just these two children—and I'm in your hands. You can kill me or cut me up at the drop of a hat. You can imagine how much trouble I could cause you."

“…”

"But your military advisor is different."

“…”

"He's incredibly intelligent, and he has soldiers under his command. He has your trust and can even dispatch your troops at will. Didn't he just dispatch one?"

Having said that, Nan Yan deliberately paused and watched Zhu Chengjin's face darken.

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Which is more terrifying, me sowing discord or this person devouring you and posing a greater threat? If you can't even figure this out, then I advise you to give up on ascending the throne."

“…”

"Otherwise, it's the same as before."

“…”

"You are just making wedding clothes for others once again."

Zhu Chengjin didn't say anything immediately. He was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he sneered and looked at Nan Yan: "Do you think I will believe you?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "You'd better not believe it."

After saying that, she put away her handkerchief, stood up and said to Tingfu and Qingting, "Okay, let's go back."

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Nan Yan turned to leave, Zhu Chengjin suddenly spoke again. Nan Yan turned back to look at him, not knowing what else he wanted to say. Zhu Chengjin said coldly, "The Yikun Palace has been cleared for you. Now, go there immediately."

“…”

Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Now?"

"how?"

Nan Yan thought for a moment and smiled faintly, "Even if we want to go there now, we still have to wait for me to go back and clean up."

After saying that, she turned around and continued to walk out. Just as she was about to step out of the door, she heard Zhu Chengjin coldly say from behind: "Why, are you still planning to go back and tell Xu Shizong?"

Nan Yan said: "Isn't he your military advisor?"

Zhu Chengjin said coldly, "As a military advisor, he transferred Lu Guangwei and planned the incident on the river, but the Yikun Palace is in the harem, and other people can't interfere, let alone interfere."

"oh……"

Nan Yan raised her eyebrows again.

Tingfu behind her was a little nervous, but she saw Nanyan smiled faintly and said, "Okay. Since you won't let me go back to move things, then your people had better have packed up Yikun Palace. If there's anything missing, even if you fight, I will send someone to ask you for it."

Her words didn't sound like a provocation, but Zhu Chengjin knew very well that Si Nanyan would never act coquettishly towards him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Nan Yan. After a while, he said with a half-smile, "I really want to find out more and more who you are."

Nan Yan smiled faintly and walked out of Wuying Palace.

There were still large amounts of blood flowing on the ground outside. Nan Yan was used to seeing this and didn't change her expression at all. She was just careful not to let the blood stain her shoes and clothes when passing by. But Qingting was pale. Before leaving, she stopped and looked at the large amount of bright red on the ground. The glaring red almost dyed her eyes red.

After walking quite a distance, Nan Yan turned around and called out to her, "Are you still not leaving?"

"oh."

The dragonfly hurried to follow.

They just walked straight to the Yiku Palace without going back to the rooms behind the Wuying Palace. They were naturally familiar with the route. Occasionally, there were eunuchs, palace maids, or soldiers under Zhu Chengjin passing by. They were all cautious when they saw them, and no one dared to breathe heavily.

It's not easy for anyone here.

As they entered the harem, the surroundings became quieter, and Qingting's breathing became rapid: "Here, this is——"

As Nan Yan walked, she said calmly, "Don't run around."

“…”

"This place will eat people even if there is no one here."

The dragonfly's face turned pale.

Tingfu, however, was troubled. As he got closer and closer to Yikun Palace, his mood grew heavier and heavier. Finally, he could not help but whisper, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty really wants to return to this Yikun Palace."

Nan Yan turned around and glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

Tingfu said with difficulty: "That man, how will he treat the queen?"

Nan Yan asked, "Are you worried that he will attack me?"

Tingfu said, "I believe everything Your Majesty said before. He really won't harm Your Majesty. But, Your Majesty is still the Imperial Concubine after all. If there is even the slightest 'harm', how will I explain it to the Emperor in the future?"

The "damage" he mentioned was also a euphemism.

Nan Yan knew what he was worried about. Throughout the dynasties, women were like meat on the chopping board when faced with such a situation, and death seemed to be a better ending.

Tingfu's eyes turned red.

Before, they had always lived behind Wuying Palace, which was quite far away from Zhu Chengjin. But now, after entering the harem, it was as if their identities had been confirmed, and Zhu Chengjin could take action against Nan Yan whenever he wanted.

Tingfu said in a hoarse voice: "If that day really comes, this slave, this slave——"

"Don't worry,"

Nan Yan walked forward and said calmly, "He won't touch me."

“…”

"Don't dare touch me."

Tingfu was stunned and looked at her in surprise: "How can your majesty be so sure?"

Nan Yan did not answer him, but just smiled faintly and continued to walk forward. Tingfu could only follow her in confusion, while Qingting looked at Nan Yan's back with a serious expression and followed silently.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of Yiku Palace.

I don’t know what this place has been through in the past, but at least it looks clean and tidy now. Even when you walk into the gate, you can see that the flowers, plants and trees in the yard are well trimmed. You can tell at a glance that they were prepared a few days in advance.

Nan Yan stood in the yard, looked around, and said with a smile: "I haven't been back for many years."
