Chapter 3519 Besides them, who else?
Nan Yan frowned.
Li Bushan's behavior can be considered as an act of usurpation.
She was the one who gathered these people together. Even if they wanted to leave, she should have been the one to make the decision. However, Li Bushang didn't even discuss it with her. He just sent all of them away with just one sentence.
Under normal circumstances, he would be convicted.
But at this moment, there was no need for her to argue with him about such things. Besides, he had done even more "overreaching" things before. If she argued with him at this moment, she might not be able to make up for it.
Soon, all the people gathered in the yard left, and the only people left in the empty yard were Nan Yan, Aunt Tongyun beside her, Ruoshui, Delu standing beside her, and Li Bushang standing in the corridor.
For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
Originally, after saying those words, Li Bu Shang should have left. After all, it was already midnight. Even if the imperial concubine did not want to rest, he, as an outsider, should not continue to stay by her side.
De Lu thought for a moment and said, "Master Li, does the Emperor have anything else to tell the Empress?"
Li Bushang's face suddenly darkened.
He didn't even look at Lu, his eyes fixed on Nan Yan. He suddenly said, "You all should go down as well."
“…”
At this moment, not only Ruoshui, but even Aunt Tongyun's expression turned a little ugly.
He had just dismissed those people below. At least those people had nothing to do with the imperial concubine. But they were all the imperial concubine's personal maids and eunuchs. No matter what, they could not easily leave the imperial concubine's side. What's more, he was just the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei. How could he order them around?
Ruoshui had just taken two steps back in shock at Li Bushan's glance, but now she stiffened her neck and said, "Master Li, we are the ones who serve the Empress personally. We absolutely cannot leave her side at this time."
Li Bushang looked up at her.
He didn't say anything, and his face didn't even show anger because of being rejected. He just slowly reached out to support his waist.
At this moment, Nan Yan suddenly said, "You've been busy all day, go downstairs."
“…!?”
Ruoshui and Aunt Tongyun seemed unable to believe their ears and looked at her with wide eyes in surprise.
Aunt Tongyun asked, "My Lady...?"
Nan Yan held the armrest of the chair with one hand and slowly sat back, her head slightly tilted downwards. The light from the swaying lanterns in the corridor was dimmer than before and could not illuminate the expression on her face. One could only feel a subtle tremor in her voice.
She said it again: "I said, everyone, leave!"
This time, no one dared to disobey.
Aunt Tongyun and Ruoshui, along with Delu, bowed to Nanyan, then looked at Li Bushang with some concern, and could only cautiously leave the yard.
The surroundings were completely quiet.
Even the air seemed to be a little stagnant.
Nan Yan sat in the chair, quietly looking at Li Bu Shang who stood motionless in front of her. At this time, he slowly lowered the hand that was supporting his waist, his expression still unchanged, and said: "You have always been the person who understands me the most in this world."
This time, he no longer used the honorific title.
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You should also know that those are my people. If you dare to attack them, I will definitely not let you off easily."
Li Bushang said, "I don't want to do anything to the people around you either."
“…”
"But if anyone dares to stop me, no matter who it is, I will not take them seriously."
"Whoever it is?"
Hearing these four words, Nan Yan's heart trembled inexplicably. She stared into Li Bushang's eyes and asked, "Besides them, who else is there?"
Li Bushang took two steps forward.
Just now, even in full view of everyone, he had come incredibly close to the Imperial Concubine as he walked down the corridor. For an outsider, this was not only inappropriate, but also inappropriate. However, due to the unique circumstances, no one considered his unusual behavior in such a critical situation. But now, if he took two more steps forward, he would be practically touching Nan Yan, the only difference being that one of them was sitting in a chair on the steps, while the other was standing at the bottom.
Nan Yan frowned and looked at him sullenly.
But he never said a word.
Li Bushang slowly bent down and grabbed the armrests on both sides of the chair with both hands. His whole body was like an iron clamp, tightly holding Nan Yan between his arms.
There is no place to escape.
Nan Yan frowned.
However, after so many years as a concubine, she hadn't completely improved. She was no longer the Si Nanyan who had been pinned down by him, powerless to fight back. She narrowed her eyes slightly, her face pale but as cold as a piece of ice that couldn't melt. She said coldly, "What are you going to do?"
Li Bushang was just a few feet away, staring into her eyes.
He said, "Aren't you asking me, besides them, who else is there?"
“…”
"Now, I'll tell you."
After saying that, he leaned down even more, his cheek almost touching Nan Yan's, and his hot breath burst out like a blazing flame, blowing past Nan Yan's ears, making her inexplicably covered in goose bumps. Even if she tried to calm herself down, at this moment, she couldn't help trembling.
What surprised her even more was the four words that slowly uttered from Li Bu's wound:
"Princess Shinpei."

"What time is it?"
When Xiao Shunzi walked into the big tent again, replaced the candles in the candlesticks with new ones and lit them, and the darkness in the tent was gradually dispelled by the swaying candlelight, Zhu Feng's low voice came from behind him.
Xiao Shunzi hurriedly put down the tinderbox and looked back, only to see Zhu Feng sitting upright at the desk.
It had been several hours, and he sat there motionless, neither resting nor calling any generals in to discuss countermeasures. The people outside were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Xiao Shunzi was also anxious, and every time he took the opportunity to change the candles, he would come in to take a look, but Zhu Feng never said a word.
If he had not seen the emperor's favor towards the imperial concubine, he would even doubt whether the emperor really didn't care about the imperial concubine anymore.
Finally, he spoke.
Xiao Shunzi said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, it's almost three quarters past three in the morning."
"oh……"
Zhu Feng then slowly raised his head, the candlelight beside him barely illuminating his face. Because of staying up late, his eyes were red and his face was pale, but the expression on his face seemed particularly resolute.
He said, "Call Fang Buyuan and Xiang Yuanbo in."
Xiao Shunzi immediately said, "Yes!"
After saying this, he hurried out. A moment later, Fang Buyuan and Xiang Yuanbo strode in from outside, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng glanced at them and said calmly, "Gather your men."
Xiang Yuanbo's eyes lit up immediately: "Your Majesty, should we go to the north of the city to provide assistance?"
