Xinglai glanced tentatively at Yu Jingchen before asking, "Your Majesty, that day was Consort Nan's coming-of-age ceremony..." Xinglai reminded her.
Yu Jingchen frowned slightly. Coming-of-age ceremony? What does that have to do with this?
Seeing that Yu Jingchen still didn't remember, Xinglai reminded him again: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager originally planned for you to ask the late Emperor to bestow the title of Princess Nan on this day, and then to find her a husband..."
Yu Jingchen remembered that the Empress Dowager had indeed approached him that day, saying she wanted to request that Nan Zhiyun be granted the title of Princess, but... Nan Zhiyun was unwilling.
The Empress Dowager then took Nan Zhiyun away. According to reports, Nan Zhiyun and the Empress Dowager had a disagreement, and the Empress Dowager was being so harsh on Nan Zhiyun for the first time. However, Yu Jingchen did not know the specifics of what had happened.
It was only because Nan Zhiyun cried in Cining Palace that day, and just before that, news broke that Wen Shi was pregnant, so everyone assumed that she cried because Wen Shi was pregnant with Yu Jingchen's child.
Yu Jingchen vaguely remembered that Nan Zhiyun came to see him that day, probably to express her feelings and give him a purse. In this era, when a woman gave a purse, it meant that she was in love with the man. But what did he say at the time?
"Nan Zhiyun, the most valuable thing about a person is to know their own limitations. If you insist on doing this, then don't blame me for being ruthless in the end." These were the words she said at the time. As for that purse... he seemed to have casually given it to a palace servant.
Yu Jingchen still remembered Nan Zhiyun's expression at that time. Her face was pale, and tears were clearly welling up in her eyes, but she held them back. She even smiled and said to him, "It's okay. I will wait for Your Highness. I will be good to Your Highness until Your Highness is willing to accept me." Then she turned and left.
Now, those tear-filled eyes appeared even more clearly before him than before. Yu Jingchen didn't know how he felt. He felt a void in his heart, and thinking about these things again made him feel... well, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Where is that person now?" Yu Jingchen intended to end the topic directly; he disliked being dominated by these uncontrollable emotions.
“That person somehow managed to sneak into the palace. After Lady Wen entered the palace and was made a Noble Consort, His Majesty sent him there. However… at that time, he was probably castrated because he was going to enter the palace…” Xinglai replied.
Yu Jingchen looked at Xinglai, seemingly surprised by what he said. Was he really willing to make such a choice just to enter the palace?
"He was very loyal to the Wen family, and he kept some of the things they did in secret from them. Because they knew that Your Majesty had planted people, the Wen family was able to avoid them all thanks to his reminder. This time, the secret guards were sent away by him by falsely claiming to be acting on Your Majesty's orders." Xing Lai found it unbelievable.
"Even if he dismissed the guards, it would be impossible for him to kill them all." All the guards that day were dead. How could a mere eunuch have accomplished that?
"He did go to the inner palace that day, but... we couldn't find out which palace he went to." Speaking of this, Xinglai felt embarrassed. How could they not even find out something like this?
