Chapter 941 Take someone’s life!
Nan Yan said, "That's not the only method he used on me."
Ran Xiaoyu asked hurriedly: "Anything else? What else?"
"Do you still remember the piece of venison that appeared at Prince Yan's Mansion?"
"certainly,"
Ran Xiaoyu blurted out subconsciously, but after she finished speaking, she suddenly concentrated on thinking for a moment, and suddenly opened her eyes wide: "You mean——"
"It's him."
"Isn't it Consort Kang?"
"Actually, when I called Concubine Kang and Concubine Ning to eat venison and water chestnuts in milk soup, I noticed that Wu Wan's behavior was a little strange. It didn't seem like she did it. When she attacked me before, she wouldn't have acted so calmly and confidently."
“…”
"Besides, she's not that smart."
"So, we suspect it was Duke Cheng who did it."
"But now it seems that we really blamed her and Duke Chengguo wrongly. This incident was done by Prince Ning. It was after this incident that I began to doubt Duke Chengguo. So, when the emperor was about to leave Peking and asked me to choose a palace to stay in, I chose Jinlou Garden without hesitation."
"Golden Mansion..."
Ran Xiaoyu frowned and said softly, "What's the point of him doing this?"
Nan Yan said, "I think the Jinlou Villa incident was probably caused by his collusion with the people of the Neng Kingdom. The most important thing is that he helped Monk and Arslan get rid of the Beili King Ashige."
"So that's how it is."
"But even so, he is not completely unprofitable."
"So, what benefits did he get?"
"He asked us to focus all our attention and suspicion on Duke Cheng."
Nan Yan said this with a gloomy look in her eyes. She said, "After we returned to Jinling, the incident of King Wei's anti-poetry incident occurred."
"ah?"
Ran Xiaoyu widened her eyes: "Could it be him?"
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "At that time, in order to find out the mastermind behind this, I checked the list of people who entered and left Chengqian Palace. At that time, I only noticed Duke Chengguo, but now I remember that his name was also on the list."
“…”
"It's just that at that time, all the way back from Hecheng, we were all suspicious of Duke Cheng and focused all our attention on him, while completely ignoring Prince Ning."
“…”
Hearing this, Ran Xiaoyu broke out in a cold sweat.
After all, she herself was not a simple person. Moreover, having been with Nan Yan in the harem for so long, she had long witnessed the wickedness of human nature. However, she really did not expect that there would be someone with such deep scheming and intentions.
These steps and moves made it impossible for them to verify.
But he made them follow his arrangements unconsciously.
She murmured, "This person is so scary..."
"Yeah, it's horrible."
Nan Yan couldn't help but clench her hands when she said this. She said, "What's even more terrifying is that for so many years, he has been hiding his true identity. He hid it so well that no one has ever suspected him."
“…”
"If it weren't for this, Your Majesty, you wouldn't have been so careless in guarding against him."
“…”
"I just don't know when he started to have such ambitions."
"It's no use saying this now!"
Ran Xiaoyu quickly regained consciousness. She said, "This man's methods are so sinister and cunning. If he really wants to take action, you, my queen, will indeed be in danger. These days, I will definitely protect you every step of the way and will not let anyone hurt you!"
Nan Yan looked up at her, a smile appearing on her tired face: "Yeah."

The atmosphere in Peking was as tense as a string stretched to its limit.
Even the common people outside the palace who knew nothing could feel a sense of impending storm from the additional guards posted at various checkpoints in the city of Peking.
The emperor hasn't attended court for two days.
However, it is said that the emperor was very diligent in his work. When he was in Nanjing, he rarely slacked off. Even during the Chinese New Year, when all civil and military officials were on vacation, he would go to the imperial study to handle government affairs himself.
But this time, after moving the capital, he finished offering sacrifices to heaven in the Great Altar and returned to the palace, and never left his bedroom again.
There were even rumors that the emperor was critically ill.
The Great Yan Dynasty is about to change.
In this situation, everyone became uneasy.
Even in the mouths of Nan Yan and the others, Ning Wang Zhu Xuan, who was as cunning as a fox, looked much more solemn than before when he looked at the night outside the window.
Holding a glass of wine in hand.
The glass of wine was warmed on the stove, but he held it in his hand and didn't drink it. When he came to his senses, the wine was completely cold.
At this moment, footsteps were heard behind me.
A gentle and deep voice said, "What is your Highness thinking about?"
Zhu Xuan looked back.
It’s Jian Ruocheng.
"You're here."
"yes."
Zhu Xuan placed the wine glass back on the table. Jian Ruocheng came over, looked at the now ice-cold wine, and said, "Is there something your Highness can't decide?"
Zhu Xuan said, "When I make a decision, I never do it on a whim."
“…”
“Before making any decision, we need to understand each other so that we can make the right judgment.”
"Then what does your Highness want to do now?"
"What do you think?"
Jian Ruocheng's eyes flashed, and then he said, "But, as far as I know, the palace has been completely sealed off. Except for the Empress, He Yi and a few others, no one can enter or leave the Emperor's bedroom. News of the Emperor has also been completely cut off."
"This, the King already knows."
"And Xu Shifeng must have also received the Queen's instructions, instructing him to deploy more personnel at various checkpoints in Peking."
"Can you tell me something that I don't know?"
Jian Ruocheng looked at him for a moment and said, "All I can say is that the only way out for His Majesty now is to quickly withdraw from Peking and return to his fiefdom."
Zhu Xuan frowned: "Leave? I am Prince Yin Jing. If I leave, I will have nothing!"
"But what can we gain by staying?"
“…”
"You can't enter the palace. I don't know what other means the emperor has to deal with you; there is no way to compete with Xu Shifeng's army."
Jian Ruocheng said solemnly, "You must go."
He said this quite sincerely.
Indeed, it hits the nail on the head.
At this time, Zhu Xuan stayed in Peking, unable to take any action, like a tiger locked in a cage. When Zhu Feng, the more powerful tiger, attacked him, he would be completely hopeless.
But thinking of this, Zhu Xuan gritted his teeth again.
"Even if I have to leave, before I go, I will take someone's life!"
Jian Ruocheng's eyes flashed: "You mean——"
Zhu Xuan said word by word: "Si-Nan-Yan!"
