Chapter 3340: The prosperous era is coming, and we are honored
Chen Zixiao's face was gloomy, and his voice was a little hoarse from excessive excitement and nervousness. He slowly said, "The emperor did those things because he was deeply in love with the queen. So why would the queen dig a knife that would only hurt the emperor?"
“……!”
Hearing his last words, Nan Yan's heart sank suddenly.
After a long while, she whispered, "The knife that will only hurt the emperor..."
“…”
"I understand, sir."
Chen Zixiao's face was as pale as paper, and he seemed to have something drained out of him. He was almost exhausted. He whispered, "I still say the same thing. Once you make a move, you never regret it. The three of us brothers have been prepared since we entered the world. No matter what the outcome is, we will never regret it. Your Majesty, how you want to deal with me is entirely up to you."
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Nan Yan also seemed to be greatly shocked, and was a little dazed. Looking at Chen Zixiao, who looked like he was ready to be killed, after a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Master Chen, you are too kind."
Chen Zixiao frowned slightly, opened his eyes and looked at her.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I've already said that I'm just a concubine in the harem. How can I have the power to punish important officials of the court?"
Seeing Chen Zixiao hesitate to speak, she continued without waiting for him to speak: "As for the emperor—he has long known that you are the one who stole the medicine. Since he didn't punish you before, he naturally won't punish you now."
Chen Zixiao frowned.
Nan Yan smiled faintly and said, "Your Excellency has just won such a great victory in the northwest. If I punish you now, wouldn't it make the Emperor bear the stigma of killing a meritorious official? Although I cannot interfere in government affairs, I will still advise the Emperor on matters like this."
“…”
"What's more, there is my uncle."
“…”
"My uncle has been a monk in seclusion for so many years. The only time he came out was to offer advice and counsel to the Emperor, devoting all his energy to it. How could the Emperor possibly harm his descendants? And his descendants will probably use the same mindset as him to assist the Emperor, and even assist the Crown Prince in the future, right?"
Her words were clearly an assurance to Chen Zixiao that he would be fine.
He was also asking for a promise from Chen Zixiao.
Although Chen Zixiao had long known that this Imperial Concubine was different from ordinary people and had witnessed her methods, he had never expected that she could, or even dared, to make the decision on such a matter. After watching her quietly for a long time, Chen Zixiao took a deep breath and said, "With the Imperial Concubine by His Majesty's side, a prosperous era is approaching. I, your humble servant, am honored to be here. How could I have second thoughts?"
Nan Yan smiled with satisfaction.
Then he said: "In this way, I can rest assured."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. You should go back soon. After all, the envoy from the Parthian Empire will be arriving in two days. You should focus more on that. As for the Xue family's affairs, you don't need to worry about them anymore."
This means the two of them have reached an agreement.
Chen Zixiao bowed to her and said, "I will take my leave."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
She didn't even turn her head and waited until his figure disappeared at the gate before Ruoshui cautiously walked over. Looking into Nanyan's eyes, she whispered, "Your Majesty, Master Chen—"
Before she could finish, Nan Yan said, "No one has seen Master Chen today."
Ruoshui was stunned.
But he immediately came to his senses, lowered his head and whispered, "Yes."
Nan Yan raised her head and said loudly, "Do you understand?"
This time, the words were spoken to the guards who followed her. Several people came out from different directions, walked to Nan Yan's side, lowered their heads and said, "Yes."
Nan Yan then waved her hand to let them leave, and then said to Ruo Shui, "I'll be leaving first. Go tell that guy surnamed Xue to stop talking nonsense."
Ruoshui said, "Don't worry, Madam."
After she finished speaking, she also ran down. Nan Yan looked back at the ruins, sighed softly, and turned to leave the almost deserted courtyard. After walking out of the gates of the East and West Halls, she got on the carriage. After waiting for a while, Ruoshui also got on the carriage and said softly, "My Lady, it's all done."
Nan Yan nodded and waved at her.
Ruoshui immediately gave instructions to the coachman in front, and the carriage wobbled away from the East and West Halls. However, it did not return to the Lianxin Hall immediately, but instead walked around the street outside twice, leaving Chen Zixiao a little later before returning.
As soon as I returned to Lianxin Club, I saw Zhu Feng sitting in the house eating.
Nan Yan immediately said, "Why didn't the emperor wait for me?"
Zhu Feng rolled his eyes at her and said, "You still want me to wait for you?"
In the whole world, only others are waiting for the emperor, but there is no emperor waiting for others. Nan Yan has been away from the palace for a long time these days, and her words and deeds have begun to become unbridled. Hearing him say this, she smiled and stuck out her tongue, then sat back at the table. The people below immediately brought her dishes and chopsticks.
While eating, Zhu Feng casually asked, "Where did you go today?"
Nan Yan kept picking up food with her chopsticks. She said with a smile, "I walked around the street, and then went to Xue's house."
Zhu Feng couldn't help but look up at her: "What are you doing there?"
"Go and have a look."
"What's so good about it?"
"There's nothing to see so I can't go? The Xue family isn't some dangerous place, so why can't I go?"
The two of them started talking at the same time, which made Xiao Shunzi and Ruoshui standing next to them frightened, fearing that they would quarrel again. However, Zhu Feng did not get angry. He just focused on eating and ignored her.
After finishing half a bowl of rice, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked someone to bring him some clean water to wash his hands and rinse his mouth. Nan Yan looked up at him and said, "Your Majesty, you don't want to eat anymore."
Zhu Feng said, "I'm full."
"Are you full after eating just this?"
"I'm not full after eating this little bit, I'm full because of you."
Zhu Feng rolled his eyes at her, and Nan Yan started laughing. She quickly finished a bowl of rice, rinsed her mouth and washed her hands, and sat aside with Zhu Feng to drink tea.
Zhu Feng didn't ask about what happened during the day, so Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is everything going on at the court?"
Zhu Feng drank his tea and shook his head, saying, "Nothing, the prince has handled several major issues well."
After saying this, as if realizing he was being too lenient, he added, "You're just useless. You keep urging me and you to go back quickly."
Nan Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "The prince misses his father, the emperor. That's out of kindness and filial piety. Why is the emperor so picky?"
"snort."
Seeing that Zhu Feng wasn't worried about her visit to the Xue family during the day, Nan Yan finally felt relieved and said, "Once we finish dealing with things here, let's set off for Beijing as soon as possible. By the way, the envoy from the Parthian Empire will be arriving in the next two days, right?"
