Chapter 3048: Your Majesty, how do you think I should die?
Xu Shizong said coldly: "Could it be that you just thought of it?"
“…”
Nan Yan took a sharp breath.
Jian Tongguang and everyone in the Jian family!
That family massacre had become her nightmare, and she still couldn't get over it. Since it happened, they have never figured out the truth. Jian Ruocheng must have suspected Zhu Feng at that time, because at that time, Zhu Feng had just lost his memory and was extremely angry because of his relationship with Jian Ruocheng. He even sent people to Jian's house after quarreling with her.
Everyone would doubt him.
However, no one could have imagined that someone would take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and pin the blame for this tragic murder on him.
Nan Yan's voice was hoarse, and it felt like a file was grinding her throat when she spoke. She said word by word: "It's you, it's you all!"
Xu Shizong looked up at her and said with a cold expression and voice, "Jian Tongguang, damn it."
"you--"
Nan Yan only felt a buzzing in her head, as if a ball of fire rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, almost bursting her skin and flesh. She grabbed the bowl on the table next to her that Xu Shizong had just drunk the medicine from, and raised her hand to smash it on Xu Shizong's head.
But just when she was about to take action, Xu Shizong raised his eyes and glanced at her indifferently.
Although this glance was understated, it revealed an indescribable power.
He said calmly, "You are a beautiful woman, there is no need to do this."
“…”
"If the Imperial Concubine really wants to kill me, she will have plenty of opportunities in the future. She really shouldn't have done it herself."
“…”
"I'm also afraid of hurting the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan gritted her teeth, resisting the urge to move her hands, and her mind regained a bit of clarity.
Yes, just now at the Zichen Palace, I have witnessed his skills, skills that even surprised Zhu Chengjin. As a Confucian scholar, he is obviously not a sour Confucian who can only recite nonsense, but is really as he said, a man who can stabilize the country with literature and maintain the country with martial arts.
If you fight him yourself, don't even think about getting any advantage.
Saving your life is the same thing.
Xu Shizong looked at her calmly and continued, "Your Highness is a noble person. You really shouldn't do such a thing."
Nan Yan gritted her teeth, glared at him for a long time, and slowly put down the bowl.
She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Xu Shizong, I really want to kill you, but you are right. I am a person of high rank. I should not kill someone like you. You don't deserve to die at my hands. This kind of death is a compliment to you."
Xu Shizong was not angry at all. He just smiled and looked at Nan Yan: "Then, Your Majesty, how do you think I should die?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Perhaps you have thought about dying in remonstration or fighting in battle, but I tell you, neither of these two options will apply to you."
“…”
"You should die before achieving your goal."
“…”
"You should die of illness in bed, powerless and helpless about the overall situation!"
The only candlestick in the room suddenly flickered, and the flickering candlelight reflected on Xu Shizong's pale face, and his expression seemed to darken.
After a long time, he smiled faintly and looked at Nan Yan: "Why did your Majesty say such vicious words?"
Nan Yan asked, "Am I vicious?"
“…”
"Then you weren't vicious when you wiped out the Jian family?"
“…”
"There are dozens of people in the Jian family. Madam Jiahe was so kind and peaceful, but she died under your knife. You even spared a child as young as Xiaozhu. How can you have the nerve to say that I am vicious?"
Xu Shizong's face changed again.
After a long while, he sighed sadly and said, "That's it."
“…”
"Even if it's on my head, so what?"
Nan Yan frowned and looked at him. She could more or less see that Xu Shizong might not really want to wipe out the entire Jian family. To him, Jian Tongguang deserved to die, but he might not have the heart to do so to others. The one who really did such a crazy thing should be Zhu Chengjin.
However, when the knife was chopped down, the person who handed the knife and the person who held the knife were both the murderer!
So Nan Yan said coldly: "Of course it will be blamed on you."
“…”
"But no one can escape what is due. Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished."
After saying that, she flicked her sleeves fiercely and turned to leave.
Pushing the door open, Tingfu, who had been standing outside waiting intently, immediately came over and asked, "Madam, are you okay?"
Nan Yan shook her head: "It's okay, let's go."
Tingfu immediately helped her walk to the next door. Before leaving, Nanyan looked back at Xu Shizong in the room. Perhaps it was the words that had just pierced his heart, or the sudden opening of the door and the night wind that blew in that made him a little overwhelmed. He leaned over the bed and coughed hard, almost falling off. The servant named Xiaoman immediately rushed in to support him: "Master! Master!"
Nan Yan glanced at them, narrowed her eyes slightly, and turned away.
The room that Xu Shizong arranged for her was indeed bigger than the others. Although it was still too simple for Nan Yan, a noble concubine, it was quiet and stable compared to the bumpy boat ride of the past few days.
But Nan Yan was not in a relaxed mood.
Too many things happened that day, and what caught her off guard in particular was the truth behind the tragic massacre of the Jian family. This incident was like a poisonous snake that entangled her all night long. Even when she was asleep, she always felt uneasy in her dreams. She seemed to be able to hear Mrs. Jiahe's gentle voice and Xiaozhu's innocent laughter in her ears.
She wants revenge!
This incident has actually been engraved in her heart and she has never forgotten it over the years. Now that she knows who did it, she naturally has an idea of what to do next.
Regardless, now was not the time for her to be vulnerable.
After getting up, she saw a bundle Tingfu had brought with him on the table. It contained nothing but two changes of clothes, which had been searched by Zhu Chengjin's men when they had brought them to Tiangang Lianhuanwu. She pulled out a piece of clothing, smoothed the collar, and brushed off the sleeves before pushing the door open and leaving.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Tingfu curled up and sleeping at the door.
Stayed up all night.
Nan Yan suddenly felt distressed. This child had followed her for so many years, and naturally received many rewards. He was also a well-known figure in the palace, but this time he even lost his life, and he had no complaints.
Nan Yan bent down, woke him up and asked him to go back to the room to sleep for a while. Suddenly, she smelled a strong smell of medicine.
She frowned and turned around immediately.
He saw a small stove at the door of Xu Shizong's room next to his own. A servant named Xiaoman was squatting there, fanning the fire and boiling medicine. When he saw Nanyan, he immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, you're awake."
Nan Yan glanced at him and didn't say much, just said "hmm".
The child was also very diligent and immediately said, "I'll ask someone to bring you some hot water."
