Chapter 1343 You still have a trump card
Nan Yan's breath was choked.
The other party pressed on, "Will you kill him?"
Nan Yan said: "This is your purpose."
The other party asked: "Will you kill him?"
"You want to use me to kill him?"
"Will you kill him?"
“…”
"Will you kill him?"
No matter what Nan Yan said or did, the mysterious man behind the screen kept asking her this one question, pressing her step by step without letting up, as if holding a knife, stabbing into Nan Yan's heart inch by inch.
“…”
Nan Yan fell silent.
She bit her lower lip and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
But the other party still did not let him go, his scorching eyes penetrated the screen and asked word by word: "Will you kill him?"
“…”
Nan Yan took a deep breath and raised her head: "If it was really him, if it was really him who killed my father——"
“…”
"I will kill him!"
When she said this, it was like a bolt from the blue, shaking the spacious room slightly.
The mysterious person behind the screen slowly straightened up. Although his face could not be seen, a smile could be clearly felt on his face.
A satisfied yet cruel smile.
He said, “That’s good.”
“…”
"In this way, I can let you go back without worry."
"go back?"
Nan Yan was shocked and looked at him in astonishment - why did he let her go back?
She asked, "What about the evidence?"
The other party said calmly: "The evidence is in the palace. You can only find it if you go back."
"What is it?"
"A copy of the imperial edict."
When Nan Yan heard this, she frowned.
The other party said, "You are the Imperial Concubine, and you have also served as a female official in the Emperor's Imperial Treasures Department. You should be well aware that a copy of all imperial edicts is left before they are issued for future reference."
“…”
Of course.
"So you should return to the palace and check the copy of the imperial edict preserved from the year Guichou. Then you will know that I did not lie to you."
“…”
"And you—"
His voice turned cold, revealing a hint of sarcasm and provocation: "I hope you don't forget what you just said."
Hearing his words, Nan Yan's face darkened.
She gritted her teeth and said coldly, "You don't have to remind me again and again. If he is really my enemy, if my father was really killed by him, I know what I should do."
The other party smiled faintly: "I'm just afraid - you are a woman after all."
"So what if she's a woman?"
"Women are soft-hearted. After all, he is your husband, and he also has a daughter with you."
“…”
"Women are not only soft-hearted, but also very realistic. Long-standing hatred cannot compare to the happiness and stability in front of you. Maybe after a few nice words from him, you will soften your heart and go back to being your imperial concubine comfortably."
This sentence can be considered ironic.
But Nan Yan was not angered. Instead, she frowned slightly and looked at the figure on the screen, as if thinking about something.
"You say this as if you've experienced something like this?"
"Let's not talk about this matter of mine."
"If we didn't want to talk about it in the past, then we wouldn't have to, but now, I think you'd better talk about it." Nan Yan raised her head, her face cold and her tone even tougher than before. "If you're doing all this today just to let me know the truth and want me to kill him, then I won't let you use me for nothing. After all, killing an emperor means the entire family will be executed. Even if I have to sacrifice myself, I can't ignore my daughter and my family."
The mysterious man said calmly, "Killing an emperor doesn't necessarily mean the outcome will be so tragic."
"oh?"
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'Those who steal a hook will be put to death, but those who steal a country will become princes?'"
Nan Yan frowned again.
She discovered that this person saw some things very clearly. He not only hated Zhu Feng, but also had a coldness that came from seeing through the world and people's hearts.
I don’t know what he has been through.
Feeling that Nan Yan seemed to be scrutinizing him, the man said calmly, "Also, you don't have to worry. I told you all this so that you will want to kill him, but I don't want you to do it yourself."
"oh?"
Nan Yan was a little surprised: "I don't need to do it myself? Could it be that you can do it?"
“…”
"Do you know how heavily guarded the palace is?"
You know, Zhu Feng is the emperor after all.
This "accident" in Chong'en Tower was the most dangerous one. This man had planned everything, but he had not counted Zhu Feng out. He still left Chong'en Tower unscathed. If he had waited until he returned to the capital, the palace would have been heavily guarded, making it even more impossible for him to leave.
Besides myself, who else can do it?
The man said, "I know the palace is heavily guarded, so if I want to take action, I will do it outside."
"Outside, you mean—"
"Northwest, Yumen Pass."
"What?"
Nan Yan was a little stunned. After thinking for a long time, she asked doubtfully, "You mean you want to lure the emperor to Yumen Pass in the northwest and attack him there?"
"good."
“…”
Nan Yan was speechless for a moment.
Northwest, Yumen Pass.
In the early years, the place had been deserted, but since Zhu Feng ascended the throne, he reopened the country's doors and started trading with countries in the Western Regions. The Silk Road was reopened, and Yumen Pass became a prosperous place again.
However, no matter how prosperous it is, that place is still a desert and a barren land.
It seems that there is a better place to start the action than in the palace.
But--
"But you have to understand, he's the emperor, and he's the once invincible Prince of Yan in the north. Are you sure that even the traps in the south can't kill him? So, can you kill him in the northwest?"
"This, I have my own plans."
The other party seemed to have a plan in mind and didn't intend to discuss it any further. Nan Yan thought for a moment and then said, "Then, how are you going to get him to Yumen Pass?"
"This is where I need you."
"I?"
Nan Yan thought about it again and understood: "You want me to lead him there?"
"good."
"But I've fallen out of favor now. You know very well that he treated me like a piece of trash, worse than pigs and dogs. How could I possibly lure him from the palace to Yumen Pass, thousands of miles away?"
The other party smiled faintly, but with great confidence, and said: "You underestimate yourself on this point."
“…”
"I have absolute confidence in you. You can definitely do it."
“…”
"not to mention--"
"What's more?"
"Besides, you have a trump card that is enough to make him run to Yumen Pass obediently."
The trump card?
Nan Yan was stunned. How come she didn’t know that she had such a thing on her?
