Chapter 1721 Partiality and Faith
Xue Ling smiled and said, "No need to continue."
“…”
"Tonight is the time for us to act."
Nan Yan's breath was caught in her throat, and she said in a hoarse voice, "What did you say? Tonight?"
"tonight,"
Xue Ling looked at her with a smile and repeated, "Let's do it tonight."
“…”
"I'm sorry for not telling the Imperial Concubine in advance, but there are also benefits to not telling you."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned.
The moment she heard Xue Ling's words, she suddenly felt a lot of noisy sounds ringing in her ears. The noisy feeling seemed to burst her whole body.
When she spoke again, she could barely hear her own voice.
But his voice was coldly calm: "Oh? What's the benefit?"
Xue Ling smiled and said, "So as not to worry, Madam."
“…”
These words seem to have a hidden meaning.
Nan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly: "What do you mean by that? Who do you think I'm worried about?"
Xue Ling smiled and said, "Of course I'm worried about whether tonight's plan will succeed."
As she spoke, she tilted her head and looked at Nan Yan, saying in an innocent, almost self-righteous tone, "You're not worried about His Majesty the Emperor, are you?"
Nan Yan smiled faintly at her.
"I'm glad you know."
Xue Ling also smiled, but after smiling, he looked at Nan Yan with a serious look.
Nan Yan clenched her hands slightly in her sleeves, and her palms were covered with cold sweat. It was not only because of the sweat, but also because she had no strength. No matter how hard she clenched her fists, she just couldn't feel them tight.
She said, "So, you plan to take advantage of the Emperor's expedition to Thermidor tonight to attack him."
Xue Ling said: "This is a good opportunity, isn't it?"
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "It's indeed a good opportunity. However, are you sure you can succeed? You know, the emperor is suspicious by nature, especially when it comes to military affairs. He never slacks off. How on earth can you be so confident in getting rid of him?"
Xue Ling smiled and said, "Your Majesty, can't you see it?"
“…”
"His Majesty the Emperor is indeed suspicious. Even if someone tells him the truth, he will still be skeptical. Let alone a map drawn by someone else, he will not easily believe it."
Having said that, she glanced at Nan Yan.
He smiled and said, "The person he trusts most in this world is probably the Empress."
“…”
"Love for the woman and her dog. He will trust the people around the Empress and those recommended by the Empress more than others."
“…”
"So, he believed that the path he chose must be safe."
Nan Yan's face darkened.
"What did you say?!"
"I'm talking about the two brothers of the Empress who have been sneaking in and out of the Duwei Mansion in secret, all for the purpose of exploring the entrance to the Hot Moon Crescent. It seems that the Empress originally believed that they had performed a great service for the Emperor this time. It's a pity—"
Nan Yan's breath was choked.
Gu Yiyou, Tong Sinian, the path that Zhu Feng found, could it be that...
Looking at Nan Yan's pale face, Xue Ling seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "That's right, we deliberately revealed that path in order to gain the emperor's trust. Even if someone else offered a different path, the emperor would choose this one because he trusts the imperial concubine."
