Chapter 1153 A blood mark!
The old man sneered and said, "We want to know whether the emperor is taking advantage of Prince Ning's rebellion to exact revenge!"
"Yes, that's definitely the case!"
"The Jian family died so unjustly!"
Listening to the roars of these people, Nan Yan's face gradually darkened. She said coldly, "The Jian family members did die unjustly, but the government will not let anyone suffer injustice. This matter will be thoroughly investigated."
Someone immediately sneered, "Can you find out?"
Nan Yan's face darkened.
Even though she was in a sad mood, she was not a fool. At this moment, she clearly felt that someone was not asking for justice at all, but was deliberately provoking and making things difficult for her.
However, the more it was at this time, the more she couldn't get angry.
Because the people have been incited, they don't know the truth, and their emotions will be infinitely magnified. If they really handle this matter in a domineering manner, it will only be interpreted as "concealing the truth" and "oppressing the people."
So, Nan Yan took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said, "It's not a question of whether we can find out or not, but we must find out!"
“…”
"Not to mention that Master Jian is a great scholar whom the court relies on. No matter who he is, as long as he is a citizen of the Great Yan Dynasty, the court cannot sit idly by and watch such a tragedy happen while letting the real culprit go unpunished!"
Her tone was heavy with determination.
Many people quieted down after hearing her words.
But at this moment, the old man who had been targeting her suddenly sneered and said, "Your Highness, your words sound very high-sounding, but why should we believe you?"
Nan Yan asked, "What do you mean?"
The old man said, "Since ancient times, there have been many cases of thieves crying 'stop thief'."
“…”
"If the murderer was originally——, can we still expect the government to give us an explanation?"
When the people around heard this, they immediately agreed: "That's right."
"Maybe the one who kills people is the one who arrests them. Then, won't we be caught off guard?"
"Before, they said they would kill all ten clans of the Jian family, but now the Jian family has been wiped out. Who knows what is going on?"
Seeing that everyone was being incited and the words were becoming more and more rude, the atmosphere in the mourning hall became tense and even a little dangerous.
Nan Yan's eyes turned cold.
These words were not even about seeking justice, but were clearly accusations and provocations to the court.
At this time, Ran Xiaoyu, who had been stopped by Nan Yan several times and finally couldn't hold back her anger, shouted angrily: "How dare you speak to the Imperial Concubine like this? Are you going to rebel?!"
Someone in the crowd said, "Humph, even if we rebelled, we were forced to do so by you!"
With this sound, the crowd suddenly became agitated.
I don't know if someone was pushing them from behind, or if those people were just rushing forward, but they suddenly rushed towards Nan Yan. The Jinyiwei on both sides were already watching them very vigilantly. When they saw them rushing forward, they immediately rushed up, blocked Nan Yan's way, and drew the swords at their waists.
"Back off!"
A flash of knife appeared before their eyes, and everyone was frightened.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Murder!"
The mourning hall was not spacious to begin with, and it was crowded with so many people. When they heard them shouting and saw the flash of knives, the people behind them suddenly became chaotic.
The entire mourning hall suddenly fell into chaos.
Nan Yan was pushed several times in succession and almost fell down. Fortunately, Ran Xiaoyu, who was beside her, stretched out her hands to protect her and shouted loudly: "Everyone, move back, everyone, move back!"
However, her voice was completely drowned out by the noisy shouting around her.
Not only could they not hear her voice, but the people around her were in chaos. Nan Yan vaguely felt that something was wrong, and the students who had been keeping vigil at the funeral also hurried forward and shouted, "Don't make a fuss here. This is the master's funeral hall. Get out!"
As he spoke, he tried to protect Nan Yan and retreat.
But behind them is the mourning hall.
Nan Yan looked back and saw the ancestral tablet that was already being squeezed by some people and was about to collapse. She was immediately sweating profusely and said, "Xiao Yu, go and protect the tablet!"
When Ran Xiaoyu saw it, she was also frightened.
But he was concerned about Nan Yan, so he could only protect her with one hand and reach out with the other hand to hold Jian Tongguang's spirit tablet.
At this moment, a cold light suddenly pierced through the chaotic crowd.
It's a dagger!
A hand, holding a dagger, stabbed towards her chest!
Nan Yan instinctively sensed danger and subconsciously turned her head. The cold light with a sharp edge was already right in front of her!
Oh no!
She broke out in a cold sweat, but at this moment she was being squeezed by others and had no way to dodge.
At this critical moment, suddenly, a hand came out from the side, grabbed the hand, and twisted it backhandedly -
"ah!"
There was a loud noise and a person's scream.
Nan Yan stared wide-eyed in shock, staring at the sharp knife that was only inches away from her. When she looked up again, she saw a tall figure rushing to her side and restraining the man.
There was a hint of panic in those usually calm eyes.
"Are you okay?"
"Emperor..."
Nan Yan couldn't believe her eyes.
Zhu Feng! ?
Why is he here?!
At this moment, the assassin reacted very quickly when he saw Zhu Feng coming. He immediately released the hand that he was holding. The knife fell, but was caught by the other hand and stabbed directly at Nan Yan again.
"careful!"
Zhu Feng let out a low shout and had no choice but to let go of his hand. He suddenly reached out to hug Nan Yan and turned around.
In the chaos, a cold light flashed by, and it seemed as if a hissing sound was heard.
"ah!"
Nan Yan felt the world spinning before her eyes. She subconsciously grabbed the person in front of her and shouted, "Your Majesty!"
At this moment, everyone around heard it. When they saw the tall figure hugging the imperial concubine, although his arm was injured, he didn't care at all. He just frowned and looked down at Nan Yan: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!"
Nan Yan was still trembling as she spoke.
Although she was fine, she was terrified at that moment, almost on the verge of life and death.
What surprised her even more was that Zhu Feng actually appeared here and saved her when she was in the most danger!
At this moment, looking into his eyes and feeling his arms tightly holding her, she suddenly felt an indescribable mixture of sadness and joy.
Subconsciously, I reached out and grabbed his arm.
But as soon as he touched his arm, he saw Zhu Feng frowning, as if in pain.
Nan Yan hurriedly looked down at his arm.
A bloodstain!
