Chapter 2510 The Words on the Note
Nan Yan was startled, and opened her eyes wide to take a closer look—
It turned out to be a gray pigeon.
The two young eunuchs guarding the gate saw this and hurried over to grab the pigeon. They hurriedly said to Nan Yan, "I don't know where this pigeon came from and scared the Imperial Concubine. We deserve to die."
"The servants will take them away right away."
Nan Yan said, "Don't worry, bring it here for me to see."
The two men immediately and carefully handed the pigeon to the imperial concubine.
Nan Yan reached out to take it. The pigeon, held in her hand, didn't flutter or peck, but only cooed. It was obviously well-fed. Nan Yan grabbed the pigeon's feet and looked at it, her brows furrowed.
There was a gold-plated anklet tied on the pigeon's foot, and the pattern on it looked familiar.
There was also a roll of paper on the anklet.
Nan Yan hugged the pigeon tightly, then said to the two young eunuchs, "Alright, I'll take this pigeon first. Remember, don't tell anyone about this. If anyone else in the palace finds out, I'll only hold you accountable."
When the two young eunuchs heard this, they kowtowed in greeting.
"The servants dare not say anything more."
Nan Yan waved her hand and let them go.
She turned around and returned to the imperial study with the pigeon in her arms. Xue Yun had already put away the silver needles. Seeing that Zhu Feng was sweating so much, he poured him a cup of tea and brought it to him. Zhu Feng was drinking his tea when he looked up at Nan Yan and said, "What were you talking about just now—"
Before he could finish his words, his eyes fell on her hands.
Immediately said: "This is——"
Nan Yan said, "Your Majesty, this just fell from the roof. I saw that there was a ring on the pigeon's foot, and there was something on it, so I brought it in for Your Majesty to see."
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't speak immediately, but his expression had become serious.
Xue Yun stood aside, stunned and a little confused.
Why did the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly change?
He took the pigeon from Nan Yan's hand and looked at the anklet on its foot. Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He looked up at Nan Yan, and Nan Yan nodded at him.
If it were a few days ago, I'm afraid Zhu Feng would not have known the meaning of this pigeon.
But now, he has remembered it completely.
Back then, the Neng Kingdom's 200,000-strong army marched south, intent on conquering the city of Beiping. Coincidentally, he and Nanyan were both in Beiping. He led his army in resistance, but for Nanyan's safety, he placed her under house arrest in the Prince of Yan's mansion. At that time, Nanyan encountered a pigeon wearing a delicate, gilded anklet.
There are four words written on it——
"If you have no desires, you will be strong."
With these four words, Nan Yan used the fake imperial seal to disrupt the morale of the army of the Neng State. The defenders of Beiping City took the opportunity to counterattack and eventually won the battle, which also greatly frustrated the momentum of King Beili. After that, the Neng State did not make any large-scale moves south again.
Afterwards, although they had several opportunities to fight against Emperor Monk of the Dian Kingdom and King Arslan of the Nanli Kingdom, the matter of the pigeon and the note with the words "No desire means strength" was never mentioned again.
Now, the gray dove appeared before their eyes again.
Zhu Feng carefully took off a paper roll from the exquisite anklet, opened it and took a look, his brows immediately furrowed.
Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what does it say?"
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, but handed the note to her with a complicated look.
Nan Yan hurriedly took it and looked at it. There were four more words on it -
Chaganbala.
