Chapter 211 Staying indoors

Once this was over, the rebels were all detained, and there was only one way to go as they awaited the consequences for these Northern Chu spies.

That is death.

Since Yun Zhuan returned, he locked himself in the palace, refusing to eat or drink and refusing to see anyone.

Even the closest person, Duhuo, doesn't want to see him again.

There was always a knot in her heart. People around her deceived her in the name of doing good for her. Until now, there were countless loyal people around Yun Jianan, but the number of people she could trust could be counted on one hand.

Qin Agang stood outside the hall, looking at Duhuo who had been kneeling at the door for several days.

Every day, Duhuo would kneel at the temple gate to ask for Yun Jianan's forgiveness.

Her body had never recovered since her last injury, and this time she used kneeling as her own punishment, which was undoubtedly a double injury to her body and mind.

But Duhuo knew that his young lady was really angry.

If it weren't for Bai Ye's urging, Yun Ju'an would have looked down on such a small position as a female monarch.

Especially because this position has wasted too many lives, some have been obtained and some have not, some are about to be lost and some have already been lost.

A huge gap has been created in Yun Zhuan's heart.

Separating her loyal servants from herself far away.

The affairs of the previous dynasty are over, and all directions point to one path, which is to let Yun Ju'an ascend the throne.

But Yun Zhuan didn't say a word and locked himself in the palace. How could anyone give advice?

Su Nan and Yu Qing had been planning this assassination for a long time. Nanzhao's superstition would not tolerate interference from other countries. They were Yun Zhuan's dragon guards, but they were even more so Nanzhao's dragon guards.

As long as Nanzhao is here, we will protect Nanzhao.

If Nanzhao is not there, then we will hide in Nanzhao and wait for the future.

Yun Fushang didn't know about this. She was assigned to the Lingnan area to fight against bandits two days ago. Li He was also sent to Qingzhou to manage agriculture, and was determined to take Nanzhao's agriculture to a higher level.

Otherwise, there would be a great risk of hostility between Nanzhao and Northern Chu.

The change of ruler of Nanzhao was so short that all the time was compressed into just nine months. The remaining policies of internal and external security would be issued after Yun Zhaoan ascended the throne and inherited the country.

But now Yun Zhuan is very angry because they used Bai Ye's body.

Now, Duhuo and his group don’t know what to do.

There has been no news about Shen Xueyan since she came back. I don’t know whether she went back to Yuan Kingdom or what.

Yun Zhuan ignored her. She knelt in front of Bai Ye's seat for a long time and refused to get up.

Because even though she knew that this was Bai Ye's order, she still hated him for not caring about himself.

It’s hard to say who Yun Zhuan is blaming, but she is mostly blaming herself.

If she had the ability to find out the traitor, then she wouldn't have to use this method.

Yun Yu'an couldn't help but smile bitterly.

How useless must she be to make Bai Ye still miss her after his death? Can she sit on that respected position above millions of people?

Duhuo knelt outside the temple, not caring about the eyes of others.

Many palace slaves knew that the entire Yingdu Palace would soon welcome a new master, but this new master locked himself in Fengque and refused to go out.

They had not seen what the new master looked like yet, but seeing the woman in front of them being punished so tragically.

They felt that this person was not an easy person to get along with, and could even be said to be harsh.

Wanqi Rang had been turned down several times. She came because her spies had heard some news in Northern Chu that in two months, Northern Chu would send an envoy to Nanzhao as a token of friendly relations between the two sides.

This was a top priority event after the new king of Nanzhao ascended the throne.

No matter what, we cannot let Northern Chu hear any truth or falsehood. The people of Nanzhao are still undecided, so we must invite Yun Ju'an to attend the succession ceremony!

Wanqi Rang and Wanqi Ruqing had heard some rumors about why Yun Zhuan was angry, and they couldn't help but feel regretful that Bai Ye would not let his descendants rest in peace even before his death.

But this is the best way at the moment, which can solve the biggest problem with the least manpower.

Now is not the time to consider this matter, but to consider persuading Yun Ju'an, the eldest daughter of Emperor Yun, to take the throne of Queen.

"Old minister Wanqi Rang..."

As soon as Wanqi Rang knelt on the ground, he sighed at his own uselessness, and his bones began to ache again.

But the door suddenly opened, and Duhuo looked inside.

The woman in front of him was thin and looked pale and weak. Her face was more like a beauty in full bloom. Even in such a situation, she did not show any sign of withering.

Yun Yu'an tried hard to control the clarity of his mind and said calmly:

"Everyone, stand up."

Wanqi Rang stood up happily and called the waiter behind him to bring the formal dress he would need to wear for the succession ceremony. The gorgeous phoenix robe dragged on the ground and was embellished with all kinds of gold and silver threads, peacock feathers, and various gems. The whole dress looked particularly sparkling.

Like a ray of light, it further contrasts with Yun Zhuan's silence.

"Yes." Yun Yu'an said calmly, "My dear Wanqi, let's discuss this matter in the side hall."

At some point, Jiang Shinian got the news very quickly and appeared outside the palace in a short while.

She did not kneel outside the palace for a long time because she felt that it would be better for her to use this time to help the new emperor and his lord earn more money so that when the national treasury is full in the future, there will be nothing to be afraid of.

"Your Highness, I, Jiang Shinian, have met you. May you live a thousand years."

Jiang Shinian knelt down and kowtowed with a solemn expression.

Yun Zhuan looked at Jiang Shinian carefully. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to feel that Jiang Shinian had become more stable. She didn't know what kind of things he had experienced.

But she understood that Jiang Shinian did not do anything else.

"Stand up." Yun Yu'an saw Jiang Shinian stand up, still looking elegant with an unruly smile on his face.

I guess the world isn't so vile, and Jiang Shinian can still do what he wants.

Jiang Shinian originally wanted to return to Beijing to report on his work, but because Yun Zhuan had been staying indoors, he had to replan his itinerary.

"Your Highness, I have already hidden the business of Beichu. In addition, I have also reached an order cooperation with merchants from Yuan Kingdom. For Nanzhao, it is also a major gain. However, now is not a good time to talk about these things. When you ascend the throne, I will carefully prepare a memorial for you to see."

Jiang Shinian understood very well that Yun Zhuan didn't want to chat about family matters at the moment, so she just summarized some of the things she had done to Yun Zhuan and expressed her loyalty to her. Everything was done with her knowledge.

Yun Zhuan nodded:

"You did a great job. You know, I always trust you."

Yun Zhuan said with a cheerful face: "I hope you can contribute to the construction of Nanzhao."

Jiang Shinian clenched her fists and lowered her head deeply: "I will not let Your Highness down."
