Chapter 2800 Lost Contact
At this moment, Nan Yan's breathing suddenly tightened.
She immediately said, "Your Highness, please send someone out of the palace immediately to the Northern Pacification Office and summon Jinyiwei Commander Fang Buyuan to the palace. I have something to ask him."
"My Lady, what's the matter?"
"Go and tell him to come into the palace first."
“…”
Zhu Chengxuan frowned slightly, but he also knew that at this point, Nan Yan would not act without a purpose.
He only said worriedly: "But, from last night till now, you haven't rested yet, my lady."
Nan Yan said, "While he's here, I can rest and recuperate."
"yes."
Seeing how persistent she was, Zhu Chengxuan no longer hesitated and immediately sent someone down to tell her that he would also go to Chengqian Palace and prepare to take a rest before coming back.
Nan Yan walked into the side hall, which had already been cleaned up. Ruoshui originally wanted to help her go to bed, but Nan Yan couldn't really sleep at all. She just lay on the couch and rested for a while.
Ruoshui couldn't persuade her, so she took a blanket and covered her with it.
I stood by and carefully massaged her legs.
As expected, she was very tired. After a while, Nan Yan fell into a deep sleep.
Although she slept very soundly and even her breathing was much louder than usual, Nan Yan's dreams were actually very messy, as if a person was walking in a maze and couldn't find the exit, but there seemed to be a light shining on her head all the time.
It made her vaguely feel that she was in a dream.
Go out.
Get out!
Thinking this way, her consciousness kept struggling. When she was feeling uncomfortable, she heard someone talking softly not far away.
"The Queen is resting. How about you come back later?"
“……!”
Nan Yan shuddered and sat up from the couch.
Hearing the noise behind her, Ruoshui, who was standing at the door and talking to Fang Buyuan outside, turned around hurriedly and saw Nan Yan sitting up and said to her, "Master Fang is here?"
"My Lady, you..."
"Come here quickly."
"yes."
Ruoshui hurriedly said to Fang Buyuan, who was standing at the steps outside the door, "Sir, wait a moment."
He quickly closed the door, walked back to Nan Yan, and whispered, "Your Majesty, won't you rest for a while?"
"No need."
Nan Yan immediately sat down in front of the dressing table and asked Ruoshui to tidy up her hair which was a little messy from sleeping. She drank some tea and rinsed her mouth, then immediately sat down in the chair over there and asked Ruoshui to bring Fang Buyuan in.
When the door was opened, the King of Wei had just heard the news and came.
The two of them walked into the side hall together.
Fang Buyuan immediately kowtowed to them and said, "Your humble servant greets Your Highness and Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan raised her hand and said, "Master Fang, there's no need to be so polite."
Fang Buyuan stood up, gave Nan Yan a complicated look, and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, this humble servant has also been waiting for a summons from the palace. Li Bu hurt him, so how is he?"
Nan Yan said calmly, "Master Fang, this matter is not your business for the time being."
“…”
Fang Buyuan's heart sank, and he immediately understood.
Li Bushang was arrested at the wedding banquet by order of the imperial concubine, and dozens of people from the entire Li Mansion were also detained. He knew the news at the first time.
If the assassination had nothing to do with him, the Imperial Concubine would definitely release him now as she is in need of someone.
Since they won't let me go, and won't let me ask about it, that means—
Fang Buyuan's breathing was choked.
He didn't dare say anything more.
Nan Yan signaled, telling Ruoshui, who was serving beside him, and Yun Jian, the palace maid beside the Prince of Wei, to leave. They were the only three people left in the side hall. Then she asked, "I heard that the Emperor once had the Jinyiwei disguise themselves and infiltrate the Earthly Immortal Society to gather information. Is this true?"
Fang Buyuan immediately said, "Yes."
"Later, because of the incident between the Emperor and me at Zuixianlou, the Emperor was worried about exposing this person, so he asked him to go into hiding temporarily and stop passing on information to the court, right?"
"Yes."
"Later, when the Emperor wanted to use this person again, did he respond?"
Fang Buyuan frowned, this was also a headache for him these days.
Before, Tao Jianbai's lurking and message delivery had always been arranged by Li Bushang. Later, because he was preparing to get married, he handed this matter over to himself.
However, before the matter was handed over to him, Tao Jianbai had been out of contact for some time.
Of course, it didn't seem like he had lost contact at the time. They cut off news from this side because they were worried about him being exposed. It was normal for Tao Jianbai to stop moving rashly for his own safety and the completion of the mission.
However, later Li Bushan used the covert method they had previously agreed upon to contact him again, but after waiting for a long time, he still did not receive a response.
Until now, there is none.
Fang Buyuan told Nan Yan and Zhu Chengxuan about this situation.
Both of them frowned.
Nan Yan said, "No news at all?"
"No,"
Fang Buyuan said, "This time at Lord Li's residence, the people from the Earthly Immortal Society caused trouble. If Tao Jianbai had been able to pass on the news, this incident could at least have been prevented, and the Emperor wouldn't have—"
Having said that, his mood became even heavier.
Nan Yan's face also darkened.
Indeed, she had been at the scene the entire time. If the people from the Earthly Immortals Association had not come to cause trouble, Zhu Feng would not have been drawn out; if these people had not attracted his attention, Zhu Feng would not have been able to be de-stoned so easily.
Before, because the Earthly Immortal Society had no connection with the Xie family, even after knowing Li Shi's true identity, Nan Yan did not think of the Neng Kingdom and the Earthly Immortal Society together.
But when I think about it again, the whole thing seems to be a cooperation between people on both sides.
Is it really——
Nan Yan's breathing quickened when she thought that her previous guess might come true.
She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Master Fang, I have two things to entrust to you now——"
As she spoke, she glanced at Fang Buyuan and said with a half-smile, "By the way, I'm dispatching your Jinyiwei to do something. I don't need to get the tiger talisman anymore, right?"
Hearing this, he took another look at the almost dangerous expression on her face.
Fang Buyuan said hurriedly: "Of course not."
Nan Yan nodded and said, "First, I want you to contact Tao Jianbai immediately and find out the current situation within the Earthly Immortal Society."
"yes."
"Secondly, I want you to search the entire city for members of the Earthly Immortal Society. In particular, you must find out if these people have made any unusual moves in the past few days."
"yes."
Nan Yan said: "These two things are actually one and the same."
“…”
"In short, I don't need to explain much. Lord Fang should understand why I want you to investigate the Earthly Immortal Society now."
