Chapter 781 Seal of the Nanming County Lord
After hearing this, Nan Yan began to understand a little.
The lock on the third floor door was probably locked by someone from the Wu family, so it's very easy to open.
But the lock on this box was locked by Emperor Gao.
That's what really matters.
Anyone who breaks Emperor Gao's lock will be punished, no matter who it is.
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath. At this moment, the light around him dimmed. It must be that the candle in the lantern was about to burn out. He said, "Okay, stop making trouble."
“…”
"What I want to see is not here."
“…”
"Let's go. The lights will go out soon and you won't be able to see the road when you go down. It will be dangerous."
Nan Yan could only let him lead the way and walk out of the door on the third floor.
However, she still looked back reluctantly, looking at the box that had been quietly placed in the darkness for who knows how many years.
Although what Zhu Feng wanted to see was not here, Nan Yan was still a little confused.
What exactly did Emperor Gao give to the Wu family?
Also, I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Just at that moment, in the dim light, she saw the lock on the box and took a quick glance. She felt that it looked a little familiar.

When she returned home that night, Zhu Feng gave her a good scolding.
After all, hitting the lock with a brick is not something a concubine should do.
What made Zhu Feng even more worried was that he had to explain to Wu Yingqiu's people that the house had been in disrepair for many years, so he took the concubine to the third floor and saw that the copper lock was broken. As for the noise that disturbed many people in the dark night, no one dared to mention it.
Wu Yingqiu immediately called someone to reinforce the lock on the third floor.
Nan Yan was ordered to stay at home.
I can only stay in Yishou Hall obediently every day.
She was so bored that she scratched the wall every day, but Aunt Tongyun and the others were relieved and said that the emperor was wise. After all, the imperial concubine did not go out. Although they were a little tired, at least the imperial concubine would not go out and cause trouble.
Slaves and servants no longer have to worry.
Nan Yan could only angrily denounce them as "traitors".
In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
News came a few days ago that the envoys from the Neng Kingdom had entered the city of Beiping. So, according to this calculation, they should be arriving at Hecheng soon.
Nan Yan couldn't help but feel nervous again.
Although Zhu Feng had read the letter from the credential before and it said that Arslan came this time just to see her, Nan Yan had a vague feeling in her heart that Arslan had other intentions.
His purpose is definitely not simple.
Moreover, the letter of credence he handed over this time said that he came to visit me, so it was very likely that my identity would be made public.
Nanming County Princess...
Nan Yan frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Yu."
"What are your wishes, Madam?"
"Go and get the coronation document and seal that Monk gave me."
Ran Xiaoyu didn't know why she suddenly wanted to see that thing, but she immediately found it in the cabinet for her.
Nan Yan opened the document of enthronement.
At first glance, I saw a black moon mark in the upper right corner of the document.
Inside, there are four small words——
Princess of Nanming County.
She thought about it and took out the seal from a small box. When she looked at it, she saw that it was indeed an engraved moon mark, and inside it were the four words "Nanming County Princess".
Then, he took the document and looked down.
The text on the document, apart from a simple statement that his mother was Princess Tana, was just empty talk about the enthronement.
When she was a female official in the Imperial Household, she had seen all kinds of imperial edicts countless times.
Unfortunately, this document did not clearly tell me who my father was.
Could it be that it was Si Boyan that Arslan had guessed before?
But where has he been after all these years?
Princess Tana’s cenotaph is at the beacon tower. Where did she go?
These two people disappeared for so many years for no reason. Did they leave together and go somewhere else?
But since I have gone somewhere else, why should I ask Si Zhongwen to bring me back?
Nan Yan couldn't help rubbing her forehead.
No, I can't think about it anymore.
Because she knew she was pregnant, she tried not to think about it these days, because if she did, she would get a headache and even feel uncomfortable.
She sighed and called out, "Xiaoyu, put these away."
Seeing her like this, Ran Xiaoyu didn't say anything else and helped her put the things away.
Just then, Tingfu ran in from outside.
He walked up to Nan Yan, bowed, and then said, "Your Majesty, the envoys from the Neng Kingdom have arrived in Hecheng."
"ah?"
When Nan Yan heard this, she stood up quickly.
Ran Xiaoyu immediately ran over and supported her, worried that she would feel dizzy from standing up too quickly. In fact, Nan Yan did feel dizzy just now.
She asked, "Where are we?"
"We've already entered the city."
"So soon?"
In fact, it was not that fast, because since Arslan's troops entered the city of Beiping, news had been passed to Hecheng along the way.
Zhu Feng knew his pace almost the entire time he walked.
But I didn’t tell Nan Yan.
However, if Lian Tingfu had heard about their entry into the city, they must have entered the city some time ago. Nan Yan remembered that this villa was only a little over half an hour away from the city gate.
"So, they'll be coming to the villa soon?"
"Yes."
"Have you arranged anything outside?"
"The Emperor has already arranged everything in the Golden Tower."
"oh."
In the past, there were many places in the palace to receive envoys, but in this palace, the most eye-catching building was the Golden Tower in the garden.
Zhu Feng was right to choose to meet the envoy there.
Nan Yan stood up and asked Ran Xiaoyu and Nian Qiu to come in and help her dress and wash. Although she was six months pregnant and her belly was very big, she was an envoy from the Kingdom of Dian after all. When King Nanli came, she still had to make herself look more presentable.
After a while, she changed into a more formal dress.
Her hair was also neatly combed and she had an exquisite gesture.
Just as I had packed up everything, Xiao Shunzi came over and said, "My Lady, the envoys from the Kingdom of Neng have arrived. The Emperor invites you to the Golden Tower."
"good."
Nan Yan stood up and walked over with Ran Xiaoyu and Tingfu.
As soon as you enter the garden, you will see a sea of flowers in front of you.
It was still winter at this time, and the plants were almost all withered. But in order not to appear defeated when meeting the envoy, Zhu Feng had people wrap red silk around the dry branches and flowers in the garden, and also made silk flowers with various colored silks.
So, at first glance, a hundred flowers bloom.
The Golden Building in the center of the garden has been newly decorated. Tables and chairs have been set up on the spacious first floor, and Zhu Feng is sitting inside.
Nan Yan walked in: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng looked up at her: "You're here."
Nan Yan looked around. Concubine Kang and Concubine Ning were not there, but Wu Yingqiu and his son Wu Ding were there.
At this time, someone came to report from outside.
"The envoy from the Kingdom of Dian has arrived!"
