Chapter 969 Black Shadow
A hint of ferocity appeared on Shi Yiru's face.
He said, "My Lord, what are your plans?"
Zhu Xuan thought for a while, then said, "Yi Ru, go to the palace's storehouse now, pick out a few good items, and personally send them to Beiping City."
Shi Yiru understood immediately: "Congratulations on the enthronement of Consort Ning?"
"good."
"However, after what Your Highness said at the Grand Altar, I'm afraid the ministers and the Empress have long been wary of Your Highness. Will I still be able to see the Emperor?"
"Don't worry about this,"
Zhu Xuan stretched out his little finger, curled the corner of his mouth, and said, "If I am not mistaken, neither He Yi, Ye Zheng, nor the Queen dared to tell my brother what happened at the Grand Altar."
"Why?"
"My Royal Brother is like this now. It's obvious that he has experienced something unbearable. He has forgotten everything in the past, just like he did back then."
“…”
"The only major event that occurred was the secret I revealed at the Great Altar. Now that I think about it, the reason Emperor Gao did that to him, to make him forget everything in the past, was probably related to his background."
Shi Yiru understood and nodded, "That makes sense."
Zhu Xuan said, "It's so hard to make him forget it, who would dare to bring it up again and make him remember it?"
“…”
"Even if someone wants to bring it up, they will definitely stop it."
Shi Yiru smiled and said, "That's right. But—"
"But what?"
"The prince asked me to go to the palace to offer congratulations, and then what?"
"Then?"
Zhu Xuan raised his eyebrows, turned around and waved at him. Shi Yiru immediately put his ear close to him, and Zhu Xuan whispered a few words in his ear.
When Shi Yiru heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Send the Emperor here?"
"good."
"This..." Even someone as astute as Shi Yiru hesitated and said, "Even if the ministers in the court and the Empress dare not tell the Emperor about his previous actions due to his illness, getting the Emperor to come to the Prince's fiefdom is probably not easy to accomplish."
“…”
"After all, it's risky for the emperor."
"Don't worry," Zhu Xuan said, "He will definitely come."
"Why?"
"Because, I know that although he may have a better understanding of the people and things around him and is more familiar with them now, just like he did back then, he actually has a hidden wariness towards everyone around him."
"oh?"
"And the only people he will trust are us brothers."
"oh……"
Shi Yiru began to understand a little.
This is indeed human nature. After all, when you just wake up from chaos, even if the people around you tell you everything, you will still be wary in your heart, because the unknown is the greatest fear.
At this time, people will instinctively choose to trust their blood relatives.
So now is the time when the emperor trusts Prince Ning the most in his heart.
Shi Yiru smiled coldly and said, "I understand. The prince asked me to go to Peking to give gifts, and then invite the emperor here to take action. This is the best place to do it."
"good."
Zhu Xuan said, "It's just right. By that time, the weapons issue should have been settled."
"Then I'll do it right away."
"Well, go ahead."
Zhu Xuan waved at him, and Shi Yiru immediately turned around and left. Zhu Xuan was still sitting in his seat, thinking about what had happened in the past few days, with a sneer on his face.
It seems like God is helping me.
If that’s the case, then if I don’t take action, won’t even God blame me?
Smiling like this, he took a sip of tea and couldn't help but think of Si Nanyan.
This woman has always been by Zhu Feng's side. As far as he knows, the two of them love each other very much. Now that she suddenly knows this news, I'm afraid she must be heartbroken.
Anyway, she has been banished to the cold palace. At this point, shouldn’t she face reality clearly?
She should find a man and throw herself into his arms, and Jian Ruocheng is right in front of her, isn't he a perfect match?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer.
Women are all very realistic.
When they encounter any difficulties, they don’t think about how to solve the difficulties, but hope that a man will appear, a man will fall in love with them, and a man will help them. In this case, if you give her any bait, she will take the bait.
He has met countless women like this, and he can almost hook one of them with just a stretch of his finger.
But after playing for a long time, I got a little bored.
Of course, there is one person who is different.
Ran Xiaoyu's cold baby face flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little restless.
I hope she can come this time too.
In that case, I can——

Soon, it got dark.
Nan Yan raised her eyes and looked at the darkness outside the window. At this moment, her heart seemed to be shrouded in such a shadow.
There were traces of tears on her face.
She sat there silently, not knowing how many tears she had shed, and finally stopped crying at this moment - it was not that she was not sad, but her tears seemed to have dried up.
But the pain in my heart has not subsided at all.
The constant torment in her internal organs made her feel so uncomfortable that she had never felt before. Even when she was thrown into prison, tortured and on the verge of death, she was not as sad as she was now.
"Why...?"
She asked herself softly, but had no answer.
She wanted to ask Zhu Feng, but she knew that there would be no answer.
However, she couldn't just sit there like this forever, as it would not help. However, she didn't have the energy to think too much now. She sat there stupidly for a while before realizing that it was pitch dark in the room.
It's time to light the lamp.
She stood up silently, enduring the numbness in her legs, walked step by step to the table, picked up the tinder, lit a flame with a puff, then walked to the candle and lit a candlestick.
Just as she turned around with the candlestick in her hand, she suddenly heard a sound of wind behind her.
When she turned around, she saw a black figure standing in front of her in the candlelight.
"ah--!"
Nan Yan cried out in shock.
The candlestick in his hand fell to the ground, splashing countless sparks, and the room suddenly became dark again.
The dark shadow rushed up and covered her mouth with one hand.
"Don't scream!"
A low voice sounded in my ears.
Upon hearing this voice, Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide: "You are——"
