Chapter 3098: Telling the truth, of course I am still alive
Although the days were stormy, this sleep was unexpectedly deep, so that when Nan Yan woke up, it was already the time of Si the next day.
Duo'er and Jiang Dahe were not close confidants of hers, so they did not dare to come in and disturb her. They could only wait outside the door, listening for any noises from inside. It was not until they heard Nan Yan get up, sit on the edge of the bed and yawn that Duo'er softly asked, "Is the queen awake?"
Nan Yan then realized that they had been waiting outside to serve her.
So he took a piece of clothing and put it on, saying, "Come in."
Two people immediately came in with hot water and towels. Jiang Dahe quickly left, leaving Duo'er to help Nan Yan change her clothes. After she washed up, he sat in front of the bronze mirror and combed her hair.
Nan Yan glanced outside. The weather outside was not very good, with dark clouds overhead.
No wonder I slept so late. If the weather was good, the sunlight would wake me up. But today it was gloomy. Although it was still early in the morning, it gave me a feeling that dusk was approaching and a storm was about to come.
Nan Yan asked, "Is there any news from outside?"
"ah?"
Duo'er was stunned and looked at her with wide eyes, somewhat confused.
Nan Yan finally came to her senses. After all, this girl was not like Ran Xiaoyu or Ruoshui, who had been with her for a long time and were not smart and clever confidants. She could not know what she wanted with just a glance.
So he asked, "I'm asking if there's any news about Tingfu?"
Duo'er shook her head in panic.
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.
With the means of Zhu Chengjin and his subordinates, one night is more than enough to make someone speak. No matter what Tingfu said, whether it is consistent with what he said or inconsistent with what he said, there should be some response from Zhu Chengjin.
But it is already three quarters past nine.
Nan Yan looked up at the gloomy weather outside and her brows gradually furrowed.
After Duo'er finished combing her hair, she softly asked, "Your Majesty, although it's already late, please ask the imperial kitchen to send some breakfast over."
Nan Yan had no appetite at this time.
But she still nodded. No matter what, people cannot survive without food. She knew this very well in her heart. She couldn't be weak, even if it showed a little bit of weakness.
Duo'er was about to go out and tell someone, but she stopped at the door, as if she was talking to someone. After a while, she came in and said softly, "Your Highness, the Young Master invites you to have breakfast in Wuying Palace."
"Wuying Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
There was indeed movement from Zhu Chengjin's side.
Did you hear what Fu said?
What did he say?
Now that he called me over for breakfast, it was obvious that he wanted to "interrogate" me again.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan took a deep breath, reached out to hold the edge of the table, stood up, straightened her clothes, and said, "Let's go."
So she took Duo'er with her and left the Yiku Palace. At the gate, she looked towards Lezhizhai again. The Imperial Garden was not far from the Yiku Palace. Although she could not see the exact situation over there from this place, she could see some people running in and out busy.
More importantly, none of these people wore white.
If he had died at home, at least his family would have worn mourning for him. But he died in the Jinling Palace, with Zhu Chengjin above him, so it was naturally impossible for the people around him to wear mourning for him, otherwise it would be an offense to the Venerable. Therefore, only Lezhizhai was decorated white inside and out, but the faces of the people entering and leaving were numb, and no one showed the slightest trace of sadness.
Xu Shizong, the elder brother of Empress Renxiao, was the one who single-handedly helped Zhu Chengjin capture the city of Jinling.
Death was as light as a goose feather flying by.
Nan Yan couldn't help but sneer, then turned and walked towards Wuying Palace.
In fact, it was almost noon at this time, but the sky was still gloomy and there were no dark clouds above the head. It seemed as if the whole world was dark. When I walked to the door of Wuying Palace, I saw various side dishes on the table inside. Although it was "breakfast", it was as rich as a banquet.
Zhu Chengjin sat inside, with his usual slightly uncomfortable smile on his face.
"You're here."
Nan Yan walked in and still sat opposite him.
Zhu Chengjin smiled and said, "You got up so late, is it because you didn't sleep well last night?"
Nan Yan raised her eyes to glance at him and said calmly, "Seeing your eyes are so red, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to ask this question to just me."
Zhu Chengjin raised his eyebrows slightly and subconsciously reached out to touch it.
Indeed, his eyes were full of red bloodshot.
Last night, the matter of the three lucky bags really troubled him until most of the night. Even after he fell asleep, he dreamed of three poisonous snakes entwining him.
This feeling is really unpleasant.
At this time, he was even a little angry. Why didn't Xu Shizong die earlier or later, but died when he gave them these three treasure bags without explaining everything clearly, causing them so much trouble.
But Zhu Chengjin didn't show any anger, he just smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do about not sleeping well. Fortunately, I woke up and the problem was solved."
"Solved?"
When Nan Yan heard these three words, although there was no expression on her face, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.
Could it be that he really dug something out of Tingfu's mouth?
What did Tingfu say?
Nan Yan looked up at him, and her voice was calm when she spoke, but her hands in her sleeves clenched involuntarily.
"Tingfu, are you still alive?"
"To tell the truth, of course I'm still alive,"
Zhu Chengjin rested one hand on the table, scratched the corner of his eye with his fingernail, and said with a half-smile: "So, you still don't tell the truth now?"
“…”
"I've already said it, I don't want to kill you."
“…”
"Even though you've angered me numerous times, I've still spared you. Until now, I haven't even lashed out at you. This is because I want you to be fully awake and see the day I ascend the throne again, and see what I looked like back then."
“…”
"But, if you keep irritating me again and again, I will have no choice but to choose the second path."
At this point, his face suddenly darkened: "Even if I gouge out your eyes, I will go north with them and see the fall of Peking City, and I will take back everything that belongs to me!"
At this moment, as if sensing all this, a strong wind suddenly blew outside.
The wind was whistling, as if some ferocious beast was roaring in the distance, and there seemed to be a hint of blood in the sound of the wind.
Nan Yan's heartbeat became heavier.
Zhu Chengjin looked at her coldly and said, "Speak!"
