At this time, the dragonfly beside him asked in a low voice: "Imperial Concubine, what are you talking about? Can I still have a chance?"

“…”

When Nan Yan heard this, he turned to look at her.

Although the look of this glance was not fierce, Nan Yan was named a concubine and had been high above for so many years, and had already had the deterrent power of not being angry and self-righteous. When the dragonfly looked at her, she immediately lowered her head.

Nan Yan quietly looked at her lowered her eyelids, her eyes flashing.

After being silent for a long time, she did not ask what the "opportunity" she just mentioned, but just said lightly; "Follow me, listen, watch, and think more, but don't talk."

“…”

"What do you want to do, think about it first, think it through, and then talk about it before doing it."

The dragonfly's face turned red and white, as if it had been poked into something.

She raised her head and was about to speak, Nan Yan continued: "If you don't keep mediocre people around me, it's not that I don't want to keep me, but that I'm destined to be full of crises around me, and mediocre people cannot protect themselves, and there is only a dead end."

“…”

"So, think clearly what you want."

“…”

"I will save you once, but I won't save you a second time."

The dragonfly stood there stiffly, lowering her head and stopping talking.

Tingfu was watching from the side, and at this time he came over to support Nanyan and said softly: "Empress, since there is nothing to do, go back to the house to take a break first."

After saying that, he lowered his voice and said, "Do you want me to go and find out the news?"

Nanyan glanced left and right.

The rows of houses are located behind Wuying Hall. In front of them is a long corridor that runs across the north and south. When they were still living in the Jinling Palace in the past, there were people coming and going. The eunuchs and palace maids who served often passed by here. But now, after a night of war and killing, there are still many people left in the palace, and no one has passed by at all.

However, there are guards.

Although there are not many people, they all have fierce faces. These people obviously don’t know how to reason. If they don’t follow, they will be cut with one knife.

So he said, "Don't act rashly either. This place is different from those before."

Now, everything is clueless, and they can't do anything for the time being.

The only thing to do is protect yourself.

Tingfu sighed and could only nod and obediently.

But after thinking about it, he comforted him softly: "But the Empress can rest assured that since General Xu has come to Jinling, there is hope for Jinling City."

Nan Yan glanced at him, smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Tingfu still insisted: "I know what the Empress is worried about. The words of Xu Shizong just now were just bluffing. His younger brother is a general, how can he be as sick as him? Even if General Xu has not fought any tough battles in recent years, the general is a general and will definitely be invincible!"

“…”

Nan Yan was silent for a while, sighed softly, and said, "I know that you are here to comfort me, but at this time, we should not deceive ourselves. I need to consider calmly in order to make a correct response."

"Empress..."

"Not to mention whether General Xu can fight a tough battle, just say that he is crossing the river now..."

"how?"

"I'm afraid this is a difficult thing."

"What?"

Listening to Fu was stunned.

Not only him, but even the dragonfly beside her was stunned. Before the incident, she was just an ordinary weak woman living in the boudoir. Although she didn't know what General Xu or who Xu Shizong was, she also heard some connections and knew that General Xu was here to rescue the enemy.

But why, this imperial concubine said that even crossing the river is difficult?

Tingfu saw the sun coming out, and they were almost unable to open their eyes, so he helped Nanyan turn to the room, and asked as he walked, "What do you mean by Empress?"

Nan Yan said: "Xu Shizong said that it is difficult for those who are good at defending the city to fight tough battles. So, can those who are good at land wars still be good at water wars at the same time?"

“…!”

Tingfu suddenly gasped.

He said, "The Empress means—"

Nanyan sighed and said, "Although it is difficult for a general who is good at defending the city to attack the city, he has at least experienced defending the city and knows what the siege should do. It is not difficult to change this thinking; but it is not difficult to let a person who fights in the north all year round go south to fight in the waters, which he has never experienced."

“…”

"This is really difficult."

Tingfu's face turned pale. At this time, when he walked to the door, he forgot to help Nanyan continue in. One foot even crossed the threshold. He thought blankly for a while and looked at Nanyan: "Empress, then aren't we--"

Nan Yan was silent for a while and said, "I just hope that I have been worried too much."

Tingfu couldn't speak, so he lowered his head and helped her walk in.

The dragonfly followed Nanyan and was already stunned.

Nan Yan said all these words that she had never heard of as a young lady in the boudoir. They were like defending the city, siege, and land wars. To her, they were as far away as the stars in the sky. These seemed to be another world, in which only men could enter.

But unexpectedly, this concubine, who looked almost as weak as her, and even was countless times more precious than her, was as familiar as the needle and thread at the tip of her fingers.

She followed Nan Yan silently and stopped talking.

Although Nan Yan said that she hoped she was worried, they had been waiting for news from outside since the morning. If Xu Shifeng really crossed the river successfully and arrived at the city of Jinling, at least they should be able to hear the sound of their siege.

But, nothing.

In addition to the distance, some people cried and begged from the Wuying Palace, there were also shrill screams that kept ringing. Even the smell of blood in the wind gradually became stronger, and nothing else was left.

Zhu Chengjin killed someone in the palace.

The surrendered generals who surrendered last night were all killed. Today, the eunuchs and maids who served in the palace were killed. After the palace gate was broken, they fled in all directions. They thought they had escaped last night, but they did not expect that they searched them all night, tied them up in front of Zhu Chengjin, and executed them one by one.

And outside the city, there was no movement.

In the evening, someone came to invite Nanyan to Wuying Hall for dinner.

No one cared about them at noon, so Tingfu didn't know where to get a few steamed buns to satisfy Nanyan and Dragonfly. When he heard that there was food, Nanyan didn't feel wronged and took the people there and went there.

Wuying Palace is very different from when Zhu Feng lived temporarily before.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a round table inside, with all kinds of delicious wine and delicacies on it. I had already entered the palace, so Zhu Chengjin naturally wanted to enjoy it even more.
