Chapter 1593: Can't Find That Person
Nan Yan looked down and saw that what he was holding was the token to leave the palace.
My heart moved.
He immediately opened his eyes wide and looked up at Zhu Feng: "It turns out that the emperor had already..."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "I spoke with the two brothers the other day and felt that they were quite knowledgeable. In fact, I have been wanting to find an opportunity to promote them for a long time. However, the cabinet has just been established, and your uncle is also in it. It is not advisable to promote the people of the Gu family, especially your relatives, too quickly."
“…”
"This time, let the two of them follow."
“…”
"If they can live up to my expectations and perform meritorious service, I will naturally reward them upon their return."
Nan Yan hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Feng raised his hand towards her and said, "Are you feeling better now? The ground is cold."
After saying that, he turned to look at Eunuch Yu and said, "Send a few more people to follow."
Nan Yan stood up and upon hearing this, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there's no need to send too many people. Just a few will be enough."
"Um?"
"On New Year's Eve, the Emperor and his concubine visited the Gu family, and everyone knew about it. This time, let's not make such a big fuss."
“…”
"These people are not blessed enough and cannot withstand it."
Hearing her words, Zhu Feng smiled and shook his head, but also said: "As you say."
But as he spoke, he looked at Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing aside. It was obvious that she had not rested well in the past few days, and her face was haggard. He said, "I don't care what you think, but I ask you to serve the imperial concubine. You must do your best and do your best."
Ran Xiaoyu kowtowed hurriedly and said, "This servant will obey the imperial decree."
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "You guys go."
Nan Yan saluted him, then walked out of the cabinet with the token.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw a familiar figure walking towards me. It was none other than one of the cabinet ministers, General Xu Shifeng.
Seeing the Imperial Concubine and her maids from afar, anyone else would naturally avoid them, but Xu Shifeng thought for a moment before striding forward and bowing to Nan Yan, saying, "Your humble servant pays respects to the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan also hurriedly returned the greeting.
"General, long time no see."
Xu Shifeng stood up and glanced at Ran Xiaoyu who was standing behind Nan Yan. He said in a deep voice, "Miss Xiaoyu doesn't seem to be in high spirits."
Ran Xiaoyu just glanced at him and said nothing.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "She serves me very wholeheartedly. She must be very tired these days."
Xu Shifeng nodded, then said to Nan Yan, "I, your humble servant, have also heard about what happened a few days ago. The Imperial Concubine's injustice has been redressed, which is very gratifying to everyone."
"That's easy."
Nan Yan felt a little puzzled. Although she had a good relationship with the Queen, this General Xu was a military commander from the previous dynasty and she had basically no dealings with him. Why did he come and say these words this time?
Moreover, it seems that it is not just a greeting.
Then, Nan Yan laughed again and asked, "Is the general also here to do business in the cabinet?"
"Yes."
"Lord Hei and the others have already left. It seems the general is a little late."
"Yes," Xu Shifeng said, "I just went to Chengqian Palace."
“…”
Nan Yan's breathing paused slightly.
She looked up and saw Xu Shifeng's serious expression as she said, "During the New Year holidays, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has been playing around a bit, so I'm going to give him some words of advice."
“…”
"I just hope he can come back to his senses and study hard."
“…”
"After all, the Emperor and his ministers have worked so hard, he shouldn't continue playing games."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan's smile became a little heavy, but she still managed to maintain a smile and said, "That's right."
“…”
"The King of Wei is not a child anymore. He can't just play all the time like he did when he was little."
"The Imperial Concubine also said so, so that's it."
Xu Shifeng smiled and said, "I will go in first."
After saying that, he walked into the cabinet.
He had just walked past. Nan Yan thought for a moment, then suddenly turned back and called out to him, "General."
"Um?"
Xu Shifeng stopped and turned around: "Does the Imperial Concubine have any other instructions?"
"I dare not give orders. I am just asking casually, will the general accompany the emperor on his tour of the Guanxi Seven Guards this time?"
Xu Shifeng thought about it, then said: "This depends on the emperor's arrangements."
"oh……"
The two men nodded, and Xu Shifeng walked into the cabinet.
Nan Yan paused for a moment, then turned and walked out. Ran Xiaoyu followed her and whispered, "What are you thinking about, Madam?"
“…”
Nan Yan did not speak immediately, but walked forward in silence for a long time before sighing softly.
"These are troubled times..."

With the emperor's personal instructions and Eunuch Yu's arrangements, Nan Yan returned to Yiku Palace, packed up a little, and then took Ran Xiaoyu out of the palace.
Just as she requested, the people accompanying her were not like the last time she went home to visit her relatives.
That mighty team was so ostentatious as if they were afraid that people would not know about it. This time, there was only one team following them, and the number of people was not too large, just enough to ensure her safety.
Nan Yan sat in the carriage with her eyes closed to rest.
She could hear Ran Xiaoyu's heavy breathing beside her.
Ran Xiaoyu has been like this these days. She can understand her anxiety, and comfort is useless. She just hopes that they can get ready quickly and then set off for the Seven Guards of Guanxi.
The sooner she sees Ye Zheng, the sooner she can feel at ease.
The carriage shook for a long time and finally stopped.
Ran Xiaoyu jumped off the carriage first. Nan Yan grabbed her hand and got off as well. When she looked up, she saw that everyone in the Gu family was already standing at the door to greet them.
It seems that although I didn't act like I was visiting my parents, they were still very well-behaved.
Seeing the Imperial Concubine descend from the sedan chair, everyone immediately bowed down and said, "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, may the Empress live a thousand years."
Nan Yan said, "Everyone, get up."
After saying that, he walked straight towards the mansion.
The rest of the people hurriedly lined up in an orderly manner, and only after the imperial concubine entered the mansion did they follow her one by one and walk into the gate.
When they arrived at the central hall, Nan Yan sat down directly, and Gu Tingqiu and his men came forward to kowtow.
Nan Yan said calmly, "Alright, I didn't come back to show off today, so there's no need to be so polite."
Gu Tingqiu and the others still saluted and then stood on both sides.
Nan Yan looked up at them.
This year was obviously not a peaceful one, and there was still a look of panic on everyone's faces.
Nan Yan looked at it for a while.
The man could no longer be found in the crowd.
So he asked, "Uncle."
Gu Tingqiu immediately stepped forward and asked, "What do you want, Madam?"
"Where's Si Muzhen?"
