Chapter 1111 Imperial Concubine
Everyone's face showed impatience and a hint of anger.
Seeing the two carriages coming, everyone's brows furrowed even more tightly.
There is a Jinlou Villa in Hecheng which is the royal palace, so the emperor is received here quite often. Ordinary people have seen it so many times that they can almost tell what shape the carriages used by the royal family are.
And the carriage in front of us is used by the royal family.
Everyone was already angry because the emperor had brought the rebels here, making them unable to live in peace. Now, after fighting for several days and failing to win, the rebels were about to massacre the city, and they closed the city gates to prevent them from escaping. Wasn't this burying them with him?
In this situation, everyone naturally felt repulsive and even rebellious towards the royal family.
Everyone is ready to move, just waiting for the people above to come down.
But the next moment, they saw a young and pretty girl lift the curtain and help down a woman who was dressed simply, thin and frail, and even looked a little haggard.
Suddenly, everyone was stunned.
Nan Yan got out of the carriage, stopped, looked at the people around her, and a faint smile appeared on her pale face.
For a moment, everyone was motionless.
If a man or a well-dressed woman had stepped out of the carriage at this moment, they would have rushed forward to seek justice for themselves, but such a pale and slender woman made them feel a little at a loss as to what to do.
After Nan Yan stopped, she turned around and picked up a person from the carriage.
It turned out to be a little monk of five or six years old.
He was wearing a gray, washed-out monk's robe with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his fleshy arms. His trouser legs were tied around his legs, and he looked very cute with his serious expression.
No one knew what to say.
The gentle, humble and peaceful smile on Nan Yan's face seemed to carry a kind of magic that instantly soothed the restlessness in everyone's hearts.
Everyone looked at them quietly.
Ran Xiaoyu, Ye Zheng and others walked to the side of the carriage again, took out a few bundles from it, and followed Nan Yan.
Nan Yan held Ming Xin's hand and walked slowly forward.
The avenue was originally very crowded, but wherever they went, people there would move aside to make way for them.
Nan Yan didn't say much and walked forward calmly.
However, Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu, who were following behind her, were holding their bags, their palms full of cold sweat.
Just when they were halfway there, Nan Yan ordered the group of people following them to take a detour to the city gate and not to follow behind them. No matter how much Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu tried to persuade her, she insisted.
Now, there are only four of them: three adults and one child.
If those common people rushed over, they could be torn to pieces alive.
However, these people did not make any noise at all. Nan Yan led them all the way to the city gate smoothly.
As soon as we approached the city gate, we saw pools of blood on the ground.
There were also some people with injuries on their faces and bodies, sitting on the street with bruises and swollen faces. The anger on their faces was even greater than those before. They were staring at Nan Yan and the others with full vigilance.
Nan Yan winked at Ran Xiaoyu.
Ran Xiaoyu nodded, then walked over with the bag in her arms, and came to the injured civilians: "Everyone is injured, right? Here is some medicine to treat your injuries."
She opened the bundle and found some medicine inside.
Everyone was stunned.
At this time, Xiao Mingxin said: "Sister Xiaoyu, I'll help you."
After saying that, he ran over, picked up the medicine and handed it to the injured people.
The mentality of the common people is also simple. As long as they still have reason, they are more tolerant and even less wary of women and monks. At this moment, a pretty woman brings them medicine for their wounds, and a chubby little monk comes to give them medicine, so everyone's vigilance is naturally reduced.
Xiao Mingxin also took some medicine and helped apply it on the injured person's face.
The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, young master."
Mingxin smiled sweetly and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do."
The atmosphere became more relaxed.
Everyone looked at Nan Yan again. She walked to the city gate. Many soldiers guarding the city were injured in the riot. Some had bruises and bleeding. She asked Ye Zheng to deliver medicine.
The soldiers all came forward to express their gratitude.
Seeing Nan Yan like this, the common people were also a little confused and began to speculate about her identity. At this moment, Wen Ye, who was patrolling on the city wall, saw this scene and hurried down: "Your Highness! Why are you here?"
Imperial Concubine?!
These two words immediately stunned everyone.
None of them had expected that this woman who looked calm, quiet, slender and frail was actually the imperial concubine!
Was she the imperial concubine who, according to previous rumors, had disregarded the Emperor Gao's will in order to confer the title on her, changed his ways, and even promoted the new policy?!
It is said that the emperor dotes on her to an extent that cannot be surpassed. The common people spread the story and also wondered what she looked like. They were afraid that she was so beautiful that she could topple a country.
But I didn't expect——
Look at her calm smile. Although she is not the peerless beauty that everyone imagines, she exudes a very comfortable aura that makes people forget the world and can't help but want to listen to her speak and see her smile.
However, there are still some people in the crowd who do not appreciate it.
As soon as the word "Royal Concubine" was heard, someone immediately stood up and said, "Royal Concubine? Why is the Royal Concubine here acting so hypocritical?"
Nan Yan was standing on the steps. When she heard the voice, she slowly turned around.
She was a woman in her forties or fifties who looked very strong.
There were some women of the same age around her, probably from the same village, dressed similarly. Their faces showed a hint of resentment due to anxiety and dissatisfaction, and they glared at Nan Yan.
When Wen Ye heard this, he immediately stepped forward.
"Don't be rude to the concubine!"
Nan Yan raised her hand to stop him, then walked down the stairs. She smiled and said, "I came here because I heard that you all had a misunderstanding with the soldiers guarding the city and were injured. So I brought you some medicine."
"No need for you to be so hypocritical!"
"that is!"
"Fake kindness!"
Nan Yan still smiled: "The medicine is right here. You will know whether it is hypocritical or not after you use it."
The women couldn't help but look back.
The young men who had been beaten to a bloody pulp stopped bleeding immediately after Xiao Mingxin applied medicine to them, and their wounds were no longer as painful.
Moreover, they couldn't be fierce towards such a quiet woman.
So he murmured, "Thank you, thank you very much, Your Majesty, for the medicine."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "No need to thank me. I just hope that everyone will not have any misunderstandings. It would be wrong if one of us hurts another."
