Chapter 3100 Preparing to mobilize troops
Nan Yan said: "I really want to know."
“…”
"I want to know how you will die."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengjin's face darkened.
But he was not angered. Instead, he looked at Nan Yan coldly for a long time. Seeing Nan Yan staring at him with eyes that were almost bloodshot, as if she wanted to stare a hole in his body, he suddenly sneered.
At this time, the person who was more angry and sad was Si Nanyan.
Zhu Chengjin has always taken other people's anger and sadness as his own happiness. As long as these people suffer in front of him, he will feel extremely satisfied.
Then he laughed again.
While laughing, he reached out and asked the attendant behind him to serve him another bowl of soup. He sipped a few mouthfuls carefully and then said, "If you want to know, I will let you know."
Nan Yan's eyes flickered slightly.
Zhu Chengjin then continued, "But not now."
“…”
"Now, you should eat something. You look so pale. If you don't eat something, you might not be able to hold on any longer."
“…”
"After all, you still have to hold on until the day you see what I do and what I choose, right?"
“…”
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
Since Tingfu had bitten off his tongue last night, Zhu Chengjin knew that there was no way he could get anything out of him. So, the "truth" he could get was what he told himself.
In this situation, it is time for him to make a choice based on his own thoughts, the influence Xu Shizong once had on him, and the current situation.
Therefore, it is difficult for other people to influence him.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan stood up coldly, holding the edge of the table. Zhu Chengjin looked at her: "Why, you don't want to eat anymore?"
Nan Yan said, "I'm afraid of vomiting."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of Wuying Palace. Duo'er bowed to Zhu Chengjin in fear and hurriedly followed him.
Nan Yan felt like there was a knife stabbing her in her heart. Every step she took as she walked back made the knife pierce deeper into her heart and made her feel more painful. When she returned to Yiku Palace, a doctor came out from the backyard with a medicine box in his hand. When he saw her, he saluted her.
Nan Yan immediately asked, "How is Tingfu?"
The doctor shook his head and said, "He can't speak anymore. He only has a broken rib, but it's not a big deal. Don't let him get tired now. Just let him recover well."
“…”
When Nan Yan heard this, she closed her eyes in pain.
In fact, just looking at Tingfu's injury, you can already tell that his tongue was bitten off at the root and there is no way to save it. But when you really hear what the doctor said, it is still hard not to feel heartbroken.
She could only nod, let Duo'er see him off, and then went to Tingfu's room alone.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Tingfu curled up in a small bed alone, wiping his tears with his hand. When he saw Nan Yan coming over, he immediately wiped his tears with the back of his hand and smiled at Nan Yan.
However, when this child usually laughs, he always smiles with his mouth wide open, revealing a row of white teeth, looking festive and clever, but this time, he smiled with his mouth covered.
He was afraid that Nan Yan would be sad when she saw the blood in his mouth.
The knife in Nan Yan's heart stabbed deeper.
I hurried over and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Tingfu shook his head at her.
But my eyes still turned red.
How could it not hurt? Not to mention that he bit off his tongue, the ribs broken by Lu Guangwei's kick yesterday were enough to make him suffer.
Nan Yan's eyes were red, and she choked with sobs as she said, "I'm sorry for you."
When Tingfu heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and wanted to comfort her anxiously, but at this time, he couldn't say a word and could only make a whimpering sound. From the tone of his voice, it seemed as if he was saying: I don't feel any pain, I'm fine.
Nan Yan reached out and tidied his messy hair back.
She said softly, "Don't worry. When you're done here, return to the capital. I'll have the teachers at Jixian Hall teach you how to read. Once you've learned well, you can return to serve me and I'll make you the head eunuch."
Tingfu laughed.
The eunuchs in the palace had a life as fragile as paper. Once they were injured or became disabled, they would be thrown out of the palace like a wild dog, regardless of their life or death, because it would offend their masters. However, Nan Yan still made him learn to read and let him become the chief eunuch.
This doesn't seem to be a reward for him.
But to make him understand that he is not useless.
Receiving such affirmation made a man who had lost the ability to speak feel warm and determined even more than receiving a reward in the form of money. With red eyes, he nodded seriously at Nan Yan.
Nan Yan reached out and touched his head.
Then she said, "Have a good rest. I'll ask the kitchen to bring you some food later. You should just eat some light soups recently. I'll ask Jiang Dahe to come and take care of you."
After saying that, she stood up.
Tingfu reached out and pulled her sleeve again. Under normal circumstances, he would never dare to presumptuously do so, but at this moment, he could only do so as he could not speak. He mumbled a few words to Nan Yan, and Nan Yan probably understood that he was asking her to be careful.
So he smiled and said, "Don't worry."
“…”
"Zhu Chengjin... I don't even take him seriously now."
Hearing her say this, Tingfu seemed to have a vague sense of something, but at this time, he could no longer ask anything, and there were many things that Nan Yan did not need to explain to him, so he nodded obediently and let go of her hand.
From that day on, the whole of Jinling suddenly seemed to become quiet.
Of course, what needs to be done continues.
After all, there were still people coming in and out of Xu Shizong's mourning hall, but Nan Yan never went there again. She asked Jiang Dahe to take care of Tingfu. After all, the child was young. Although he had broken ribs and needed to recuperate for several months, he was still in good spirits and ate all the food that was sent to him.
Nan Yan knew that Duo'er was left alone to serve her.
After all, she was not a confidant, nor did she listen to Fu's cleverness. Nan Yan would not order her around, and she did not know how to get information, so these days, Nan Yan knew almost nothing about what was happening outside.
But even if no news came in, she still vaguely felt that there seemed to be some big movement in Jinling City.
For example, after that day, Zhu Chengjin still often asked her to go to Wuying Palace to have dinner with him.
While eating, there were always people coming in and out. Although they naturally avoided Nan Yan when talking, Nan Yan could tell through her observations in the past few days that those who came in and talked were almost all the generals under Zhu Chengjin.
Moreover, judging by the frequency of their movements, it seems they are preparing to mobilize troops.
Prepare to mobilize troops...
Among the three strategies proposed by Xu Shizong, there is indeed a need to mobilize troops——
