Chapter 1351: Counterattack
At this time, Feng Qianyan could no longer hold back.
She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, how could she——"
Halfway through her words, she realized that her tone was wrong, especially when she saw Zhu Feng's ashen face. Although it was not directed at her, but at Si Nanyan, the emperor's anger had never been something that ordinary people could control. Even if his anger was caused by only one person, it could spread to an unimaginable extent.
So, she gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "The Imperial Concubine is back. It really made it so hard for us to find her."
“…”
Nan Yan turned and looked at her.
Feng Qianyan smiled and said, "The disappearance of the Imperial Concubine and Commander Li has made everyone very worried. I don't know what happened to you. I thought—"
Having said this, she deliberately paused and drew out her voice.
The people around naturally knew what part she had omitted in her words, so their originally shocked expressions now revealed a bit of frivolity as they looked at Si Nanyan and Commander Li who had returned with the team.
In particular, under the light of the fire, everyone could see clearly that the imperial concubine's clothes were torn.
The two of them left here for a whole day, what happened?
In this strange atmosphere, Nan Yan smiled slightly. She turned around, facing Feng Qianyan, and said, "What else did you think? Concubine Ning, don't tell half the story. It's not good to make people suspicious."
“…”
"Why don't you just finish what you're saying."
Feng Qianyan's expression froze slightly.
She could have just told half the truth and kept the other half. After all, no one knew the truth. If she said anything categorically, who knew who would be the one to be convicted in the end.
So she laughed dryly.
She took a step back, but Nan Yan took a step forward and almost asked her in the face: "Why don't you say it? Isn't Concubine Ning very eloquent?"
“…”
"You're saying half and leaving half, which inevitably makes people think you're trying to sow discord."
“…”
"Or is that really the case?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng's face darkened again.
He looked at Feng Qianyan coldly, and Feng Qianyan's heart trembled inexplicably when she met his eyes. She hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not what I meant, and I would never dare to instigate you."
As she spoke, she immediately knelt down.
She was originally talking to Nan Yan, but suddenly knelt down in front of Zhu Feng, clearly intending to drag the emperor into this.
After all, no matter how deep the conflicts between concubines were, they dared not argue in front of the emperor.
But Nan Yan smiled, bent down, looked directly into her eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't just say you dare or not. Once you do it, it won't be 'dare' anymore."
“…”
Feng Qianyan's throat was choked by her.
Her original intention was to provoke, but she didn't expect that Nan Yan's words were so sharp that she could be defeated in just a few words.
Moreover, even though she had already spoken to the emperor, she did not stop and continued to press her step by step, even more aggressive than when she was the favored imperial concubine.
She raised her head in a panic, but looked at Concubine Hui who was standing on the other side.
At this time, it would be great if someone could speak up and help me.
Concubine Hui Wu Wan was also watching this scene. She almost subconsciously took a step forward. After all, she had been fighting with Si Nan Yan for years, and competing with her had become instinctive. However, just as she was about to speak, Gao Yurong behind her gently tugged at her sleeve.
