Chapter 178: Villain, how should we deal with it?
Nan Yan was stunned. How did he know that she and Tong Jie were inseparable?
Even Jian Ruocheng next to him glanced at him.
As if realizing what he had said, Zhu Feng's expression became even uglier.
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Ever since I heard the news in Nan'an Town, I've become suspicious of Tong Jie. He's been following me around for the past two days, and I—I also feel like something's fishy, so I want to get some information out of him."
Zhu Feng said coldly: "Did you find out?"
“…”
Nan Yan was suddenly speechless. Of course, she didn't figure out anything, not even the things about Nan Cheng that she suspected.
She lowered her head and said softly, "This servant is incompetent."
Zhu Feng looked at her coldly.
Jian Ruocheng, who was standing by, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it is my incompetence."
After hearing this, Zhu Feng turned his gaze back to him: "What?"
Jian Ruocheng said, "Although I have already investigated the things you just mentioned, it is difficult to obtain actual evidence."
“…”
"The words of the common people may not be enough to prove anything when the time comes. Water has unpredictable forms, and soldiers have unpredictable formations. The outcome of a war is difficult to judge with logic."
“…”
"So, if we really want to judge Prince Jing's actions, it would be difficult to convict him."
Zhu Feng said, "It seems that Ruo Cheng, you are not a pedantic gentleman. You know that for some things, reason alone is not enough."
Jian Ruocheng hurriedly took a step back and said with a folded hand, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent."
Zhu Feng glanced at him, then his gaze seemed to fall on Nan Yan beside him. He said in a deep voice, "Following me, you must not only know how to deal with gentlemen, but also how to deal with villains. This is a skill you should learn."
Jian Ruocheng said quickly, "Yes."
Nan Yan stood aside, and her heart, which was originally immersed in grief, suddenly skipped a beat.
Not only do we need to know how to deal with gentlemen, but we also need to know how to deal with villains?
Zhu Feng's words——
At this time, the sound of drums was heard outside. Zhu Feng glanced at them, waved his hand and said, "All of you go down."
Jian Ruocheng said: "Your Majesty, the evidence that Prince Jing is collaborating with the enemy——"
"I'll think about it again."
"……yes."
Jian Ruocheng left the room.
Nan Yan stood at the door and looked at Zhu Feng hesitantly. Seeing that several deep wrinkles had formed between his eyebrows under the candlelight, she was afraid that if she stayed, she would make him angry again, so she had to retreat.
As soon as the door closed, Jian Ruocheng turned around and looked at her: "Nan Yan."
Nan Yan said softly, "Master Jian, you have worked hard these past few days."
Jian Ruocheng said, "I saw you in South City that day. That person was Tong Jie, right?"
It turned out that he also saw himself.
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
She whispered, "It's all my fault. It's useless."
Jian Ruocheng said softly, "Miss Nanyan, please don't say that. You're a girl, and having such a heart is already stronger than thousands of men. But even the emperor can't handle such a thing with ease, let alone you and me."
“…”
"It's better to go back and rest early."
Nan Yan nodded, and the two of them parted ways, but as Nan Yan walked, her steps became heavier than the last.
Zhu Feng’s words were still echoing in her ears.
Not only do we need to know how to deal with gentlemen, we also need to know how to deal with villains.
Isn't it? Back in the palace, she knew that Fulan was deliberately making things difficult for her, but she could only treat him perfunctorily. In fact, she was eating leftovers, and in the end, she was the one who was framed.
Not everyone in the world is a gentleman like Jian Tongguang.
Villain, how should we deal with this?
