Chapter 3020 Damn it!
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
She was not stupid. At this point, even people who were not familiar with military affairs and did not understand the situation knew very well what it would mean if Zhu Chengjin left Xingluo Lake.
This means that people outside will finally have the opportunity to find clues about him and even catch him.
But it also means greater danger.
Nan Yan also absolutely did not believe that a person who could do things to such an extent would use such an important move to make a small bet with her. It was like disrupting the country for a beauty. Disrupting the country was the key point, and the beauty was just a nice excuse.
So, rather than saying that Zhu Chengjin is about to leave Xingluo Lake, it is better to say that a poisonous snake is about to leave the cave where it is dormant.
He wanted to leave this place and extend his fangs to other places.
He felt that in addition to caution, there was also a hint of subtle panic in Nan Yan's eyes. However, Zhu Chengjin, who loved to see this emotion in other people's eyes, as if he needed to feed on other people's panic, saw through it at a glance and revealed a slightly ferocious smile on his face.
He said, "How?"
“…”
"Do you dare to bet?"
“…”
"Or, let me put it more clearly. Can you still have confidence in Ran Xiaoyu?"
“…”
These few words were like him using all his strength to push the knife that had already been stuck in Nan Yan's chest deeper. Nan Yan's breathing was interrupted for a moment, but then she took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at Zhu Chengjin, sneering and saying, "You think I don't dare!"
Zhu Chengjin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why, you really dare?"
“…”
"Do you really trust Ran Xiaoyu that much?"
Nan Yan said coldly, "Ever since I entered the palace, I've known that people's hearts are fickle. But no matter how fickle they are, there's one thing about me that has never changed."
"What?"
"I believe in humanity."
“…”
"So, I believe Ran Xiaoyu, she won't be like you said."
“…”
"I not only have confidence in Ran Xiaoyu, I have confidence in him even more. You can't beat him. No matter whether it's a conspiracy or an open one, he will definitely win!"
As if imitating him, Nan Yan also pushed the knife that had been stuck in Zhu Chengjin's chest a little deeper.
Zhu Chengjin gritted his teeth so hard that marks appeared on his cheeks.
After a while, he sneered and said, "Well, let's see who will win!"
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Someone come here!"
There were footsteps outside the door behind him, followed by the voices of several girls: "Master, what are your orders?"
"Please ask this 'current imperial concubine' to go down and rest. I will serve her well."
"yes."
After saying that, Zhu Chengjin smiled coldly at Nan Yan and walked away. When he walked around the translucent screen, Nan Yan looked at the shadow shining through it. In a trance, it was as if she saw the thin, pale and weak figure when she first entered the palace.
It’s a pity that I didn’t recognize him when I was at sea.
Zhu Chengjin had obviously been wary that she would recognize him, so he had always been very cautious when appearing in front of her. Now that she realized it, it was too late.
Zhu Feng...
Zhu Feng, will he be okay?
Just thinking about this, Nan Yan felt a chill all over her body. At this moment, there was a very light sound of footsteps behind her. It was the person who had just answered the call who walked in and said to her, "Your Highness, please follow me and rest."
Nan Yan turned around and saw a girl in white standing behind her, and a few people standing at the door.
As soon as she saw these girls, Nan Yan frowned again.
These people's clothing and appearance are almost the same as those girls serving in Xu Miaoming's mansion!
Damn it!
She should have thought that Xu Miaoming could not have stayed in Xiajiang Town for no reason, and it was even more impossible for him to appear in front of them for no reason. She reminded Zhu Feng countless times, but Zhu Feng just didn't believe it, and was even not on guard against the fact that she had hidden a man in the backyard!
Now it seems that Xu Miaoming is probably also Zhu Chengjin's man.
So, who is that person in her backyard?
Nan Yan's mind was in a mess for a moment, and she couldn't make any sense of what was going on. But she was clearly aware of one thing: since they set foot in the south, her and Zhu Feng's actions had been controlled by Zhu Chengjin. Now, she had arrived at Xingluo Lake, while Zhu Feng was still in Xiajiang Town.
There, there was Xu Miaoming and Ran Xiaoyu...
Thinking of this, waves of chills began to seep into Nan Yan's heart, and she couldn't help but shiver all over.
The girls looked at her and asked softly, "Is your Majesty the Imperial Concubine feeling unwell?"
“…”
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and supported herself to get up from the ground: "I'm fine."
"Then please follow us."
After saying that, they walked out, and Nan Yan could only reluctantly follow. As soon as they walked out of the door, Tingfu, who had been standing outside for a long time, immediately rushed over and asked anxiously, "Is the queen okay?"
Nan Yan's face turned pale and she shook her head.
The two men followed the white-clad girls along the left corridor to the other side. Tingfu saw the girls and clearly figured out what was going on. His expression was extremely grim. The girls led them to a monastery and said, "Please come in. If you have any instructions, just call us anytime."
After saying that, he walked out.
Tingfu didn't care about that. He helped Nanyan walk in and sat down first. Seeing the kettle and teacup on the table next to him, he poured her a glass of water first, but then thought about it and stopped, ready to take out the silver needle he brought with him to test for poison. Nanyan glanced at him and said, "Don't bother. We're already here. It's just a matter of a word to kill or chop me up. There's no need to poison the water."
Tingfu thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, so he handed the cup to her.
Nan Yan took it and drank several sips.
Tingfu asked worriedly, "My Lady, who exactly did Ye Da—Ye Zheng take you to see? Did he threaten you? What else can we do here?"
Nan Yan held the cup tightly and said in a deep voice, "Tingfu, do you still remember when the Emperor stormed into Jinling City during the Jingnan Campaign?"
Tingfu was stunned for a moment, not knowing why she suddenly brought this up.
Nan Yan said, "The one speaking here is the one who disappeared in the fire."
"What!?"
Tingfu's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief: "Yes, it's Wen—it's him?!"
Although Tingfu was just a small eunuch running errands, he was smart and clever. He had been with Nan Yan for many years and had witnessed many big battles. He was not just a fool. He blinked and immediately realized what was going on. He said, "So, he was plotting to murder the emperor and the queen all along?"
