Chapter 2107: The situation is turbulent and unpredictable
Zhu Feng said: "You must be of one mind with me."
For some reason, these words made Nan Yan's heart tremble slightly.
Of course, she didn't really not know why.
Nan Yan understood the emperor's intentions very well, no matter what he said or what he did in his daily life. He had high hopes for this child and was paving the way for him step by step.
But I had other plans in my mind.
Did Zhu Feng also know this, and therefore kept reminding himself to be of the same mind as him?
Nan Yan looked at him for a while, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "I understand."
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "That's good."
He added, "Have your people prepare. I will pass on the message to the Gu Mansion in your name and have someone bring them to the palace tomorrow night. You should get some rest and don't be so listless by then."
Nan Yan forced a smile and said, "How could I possibly have that?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her again before saying, "Okay, I'm leaving."
Seeing that he was about to stand up, Nan Yan also hurriedly grabbed the arm that Ran Xiaoyu extended to her and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you sit for a while? Haven't you had your tea yet?"
"No, I still have a lot of things to do in my study."
“…”
"You should have a good rest."
"……yes."
Nan Yan knelt down and saluted, then raised her head to see Zhu Feng's hurriedly leaving back.
She couldn't help but sigh softly.
Ran Xiaoyu helped her sit back in the chair. Seeing Nan Yan's somewhat lost look, she said softly, "Isn't it a good arrangement, Your Majesty?"
Nan Yan looked up at her.
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Master Gu was wronged in this incident, and Miss Qiqing was also wronged. Moreover, Miss Qiqing's reputation was damaged much more seriously than that of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei."
“…”
"The Emperor is personally hosting a banquet for them. Perhaps this could be a turning point."
Nan Yan lowered her eyelids for a long time before she smiled wryly and said, "I hope so."

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was dusk the next day.
The news had already reached the Gu Mansion, and Nan Yan had someone go to the imperial kitchen to make arrangements in advance. At this moment, every corner of the Yiku Palace was cleaned spotlessly. Nan Yan also specially asked someone to bring a few buckets of well water to wash the bluestone slabs under the eaves.
It dispelled the heat of the day.
Originally, I wanted to let the nanny and the others take Xinping to bed early, but when the child knew that the "little sister" was going to the palace today, he was so happy that he went crazy and ran around in circles in the yard.
It seems that she won't be able to sleep tonight unless she sees her little sister.
At this moment, Tingfu ran in from outside, knelt down and said, "Your Highness, Lord Gu, two young masters, and a young lady have already entered the palace. Eunuch Yu is leading them this way."
Nan Yan nodded and said, "Okay."
She brought Xinping back to the house, sat down and just took a sip of tea when she heard footsteps outside.
Eunuch Yu's voice came——
"Everyone, please come this way."
People are coming.
She put down the teacup and looked up, only to see Gu Tingqiu, dressed in a clean and neat long gown, walking in with two tall, handsome and upright young men behind him. They were Gu Yiyu and Tong Sinian.
Nan Yan looked again carefully and saw a figure behind the three people, so slender that it seemed like it would be ignored at any time.
This is the period of Qing.
It was dusk, and in the flickering candlelight in the room, her face looked pale and almost transparent.
Several people bowed down to Nan Yan.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine, and to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Nan Yan raised her hand and said, "Uncle, all of you please get up."
"Thank you, Madam."
Everyone then stood up.
Nan Yan said again, "Please take a seat."
They each walked to a chair nearby and sat down after apologizing. Only Gu Qiqing did not sit down. He stood behind Gu Tingqiu with his head lowered.
Nan Yan looked at her, and although she felt a little uncomfortable, she was not in a hurry to speak.
She was calm, and when those who should sit down sat down and those who should stand stood still, she immediately ran over happily and hugged Gu Qiqing's legs: "Little sister!"
"ah!"
Gu Qiqing was startled by the meat ball that suddenly bumped into him. He looked down and found that it was Princess Xinping.
Finally, a bit of vitality appeared on her pale face.
Smiling, he said, "Your Highness."
Xinping tilted his head and looked at her, saying in a baby voice, "Sister, you haven't come to see me for a long time."
Qi Qing said softly, "Common women...common women cannot enter the palace."
"Then how about you living in the palace?"
"ah?"
"If you live in the palace like me, in Chengqian Palace, you can play with me every day."
When mentioning Chengqian Palace, Gu Qiqing's face, which had been slightly rosy, suddenly turned paler again.
As Gu Tingqiu listened, his expression darkened slightly.
But, of course, he couldn't accuse Her Royal Highness the Princess of talking nonsense, so he glared at his daughter.
Gu Qiqing naturally felt his father's gaze and could only say, "Princess, you're joking."
"No, you come to the palace."
“…”
"Brother King Wei and I miss you."
“…”
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire Yikun Palace became tense.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's still early, and the emperor hasn't come yet. Xin Ping, take Qi Qing out for a walk and cool off."
"good!"
Xinping immediately wanted to pull Qiqing out.
Qi Qing was a little hesitant and glanced at Gu Tingqiu. Gu Qing then said, "The Imperial Concubine has approved it, so you can go."
Only then did she walk out with Xinping.
Nan Yan looked at Gu Tingqiu, whose face was not very good, and said, "Uncle, did you have a smooth journey?"
Gu Tingqiu said hurriedly: "Everything is fine, but——"
"Just what?"
Gu Tingqiu hesitated for a moment and didn't answer immediately. Eunuch Yu stood nearby and said with a smile, "It's just that when the ladies of the other palaces heard that Master Gu was coming with his two sons and Miss Gu, they all sent people to the palace gate to watch. It was a mess and a disgrace."
After hearing this, Nan Yan just smiled bitterly.
What else is there to watch? Isn’t it just to see the future?
This time, because of what happened with the King of Wei, she became famous throughout the capital. When the concubines in the palace heard that she had returned to the palace, they all came to see what was going on.
So he said, "Don't worry about it."
"yes."
Nan Yan asked again, "Eunuch Yu, hasn't the emperor come yet?"
Eunuch Yu said, "The Emperor was originally in the Imperial Study, and was about to leave, but then Concubine Hui went there again, and I'm afraid he won't be back for a while."
"Empress Hui?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why does she keep going to the imperial study recently?"
Eunuch Yu smiled and said, "Of course, this is to see the emperor and talk to him."
"say?"
Nan Yan thought for a moment, a gleam in her eyes, and said, "She's not still begging the Emperor to quickly deal with Gao, is she?"
