Chapter 2804 Three Days Late
Aunt Tongyun said hurriedly, "In reply to the Empress, the medicine has been changed, and the Emperor's wound appears to be healing and scabbing. However, he is still not awake."
“…”
Nan Yan clenched her teeth tightly.
The light was dim at this time, with only a candlestick on the table beside emitting flickering light. When it shone on Nan Yan's face, one could clearly see the marks of her gritting her teeth, and she looked murderous.
Aunt Tongyun and Ruoshui didn't even dare to breathe.
Then she heard Nan Yan grit her teeth and utter a few words, mumbling to herself, "It's okay, the emperor is just temporarily unconscious, he will definitely wake up... I can handle these things... I can definitely handle them!"
Aunt Tongyun and Ruoshui looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.
At this time, Zhu Chengxuan walked in from outside.
When he saw Nan Yan's murderous look, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately came over and saluted Nan Yan, saying, "Your Highness."
Nan Yan looked up and saw him coming, and adjusted her expression slightly.
Don't look so fierce.
She was afraid that after spending so much time with Zhu Feng, not only her temper but also the way she looked when she was angry was almost like his. She tried her best to appear pleasant and said, "Why is Your Highness here? Didn't you say you had to finish reading the memorials that have been piling up for the past two days so you can handle them tomorrow?"
Zhu Chengxuan said, "I have read most of those memorials."
Nan Yan asked, "How?"
Zhu Chengxuan said, "Some minor matters were dealt with when my father left the capital to tour various places and asked me to supervise the country. However, there are some major matters..."
Having said this, he lowered his head.
His expression seemed somewhat solemn.
Nan Yan knew that there were some major issues that even Zhu Feng might not be able to handle immediately after receiving them. Sometimes, he had to argue with court officials for several days and let cabinet ministers stay up for several nights before he could barely come up with a solution.
But now, if we cannot solve the major issues in the court, let alone whether we can win the support of the people.
The impact of these things on the imperial court and the entire Yan State cannot be dismissed with just a few words.
This is too difficult for them.
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said softly, "Your Highness, don't worry. Just sort out everything you can handle and make sure you can handle it well in the court tomorrow. As for the rest, I will help you find a solution."
“…”
Zhu Chengxuan glanced at her.
Although Nan Yan has always said that she would help him find a solution, the affairs of the court are so complicated and changeable. What solution can she, a concubine who has always lived deep in the harem, come up with?
Even so, he could only say, "Yes."
After that, he added: "By the way, I just heard that the Jinyiwei people entered the palace. What's the situation?"
Nan Yan told Zhu Chengxuan what they said.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengxuan frowned and said, "If that's the case, then this Earthly Immortal Society is truly going against the imperial court. However, we still don't even know what their situation is."
Nan Yan said, "Your Highness, please be patient. Lord Fang and his men have already gone to the south of the city to investigate that gang. I hope they can make some progress."
Zhu Chengxuan said worriedly, "I hope so..."

Outside the empty house in the south of the city.
It was completely dark, and the city had a curfew after the hour of You. There was no one around, and the once bustling shops had closed early. The entire street had become a pitch-black corridor.
At this time, a fire dragon jumped over from a distance.
Looking closely, they saw that it was a group of people led by Fang Buyuan who were running towards them quickly with torches in hand. After finding the empty house, they kicked open the door and rushed in without saying a word.
But there was silence inside.
The courtyard, which is usually crowded with people, was now silent, without a single person in sight. The main door was opened, and they rushed in with torches in hand, only illuminating a few chairs and a shrine, which were also empty.
Oh no!
Along the way, the thing that Fang Buyuan prayed not to happen finally happened.
In fact, when he saw the dried blood on the blade of grass, he already knew in his heart that the blood was not just left, or even in the last one or two days, but at least three days ago.
In other words, Tao Jianbai was discovered at least three days ago.
Why are these people staying here for three days instead of leaving?
They were not just a step late, they were too late.
Thinking of this, he was both angry and annoyed. Seeing the surrounding Jinyiwei looking at him with some disappointment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go in and check first to see if there is anything these people have missed. Remember, don't miss any corner!"
"yes!"
Everyone took the order and immediately rushed in with torches in hand.
The house is not big, with only a yard and a few bungalows at the back. It is obvious that people have lived there before, and the beds and mattresses are still there.
But it was nothing important.
Even if there were any, they wouldn't leave them anywhere. Besides, they evacuated without a single person left and everything must have been taken away long ago.
Several Jinyiwei searched for a while and came back saying, "Sir, we searched everywhere, but we didn't find anyone and nothing was left."
Fang Buyuan gritted his teeth.
At this time, a Jinyiwei's voice came from a room in front: "Sir."
Fang Buyuan hurriedly led his men in.
There was a Jinyiwei standing inside holding a torch. Fang Buyuan asked, "What did you find?"
"My Lord, come and see."
He pointed at the door frame and looked closely. It was a protruding nail with a piece of dark blue cloth hooked on it.
Fang Buyuan pulled it off and rubbed it, then frowned and said, "This is—"
The Jinyiwei said, "I packed Brother Tao's clothes before he left. He had a piece of clothing that seemed to be made of this color of fabric."
Fang Buyuan looked back at the room and said, "So, this is probably the room he lived in."
"Um."
Fang Buyuan immediately searched inside with a torch.
In fact, this room was cleaner than other rooms. Since the people from the Earthly Immortal Society had discovered his identity, they would definitely search his things to prevent him from leaking the information. I'm afraid his other clothes and belongings would have been burned to ashes long ago.
Sure enough, the people who searched the yard reported that they found a pile of ashes outside and nothing was left.
Fang Buyuan sighed deeply.
It seemed there was nothing left to search here, so he ordered, "You two, stay here and guard. If anyone approaches, immediately apprehend them. The rest of you, follow me back to the Northern Pacification Division. We will gather our forces and search all the Dixianhui halls in the city!"
"yes!"
Fang Buyuan was about to take his people away. Just as he stepped out of the door, he suddenly saw something at his feet.
