Just when the southern courtyard was quiet and everyone was ready to let go of the day's exhaustion and prepare to rest, the southern gate of Yongzhou City also uttered a long, hoarse cry.

The time has come.

Due to the geographical relationship, the sunset on the Yongzhou side has always been relatively late, and there are many business trips, so the time to close the South Gate has always been at Xu Shi, but recently due to special circumstances, the state government has issued an order to start from From now on, the time to close the city gates will be half an hour earlier.

Today is the last day to close the South Gate at Xu Shi.

Despite this, there were still many merchants who were too late to drive their mules and carts to the gate. The soldiers in the city stood on the high platforms on both sides of the gate, holding torches high, and the flickering fire illuminated everyone in a hurry.

In the crowd, there is a person whose appearance is also a little unusual.

He was not tall, and he was wearing dark clothes, so he could easily be swallowed up in the crowd of people rushing into the city gate. However, this man had a drapery hat on his head, with the brim hanging down. The black gauze covered his face, and he was also very cautious. In order to avoid being squeezed out of his hat by the people around him, he kept holding the brim of his hat with one hand and walked in with the crowd.

What's even more surprising is that he didn't even have a piece of luggage on him.

In this way, it seems a little strange among the business trips with large and small bags, and even driving horses.

However, because the sky was too dark and there were too many people around, the soldiers guarding the city did not notice him. The man followed the crowd into Yongzhou City, turned around and walked into an alley, and quickly disappeared. in the night.

Finally, at Xu Shizheng, the South Gate was closed.

With a heavy roar, the noisy sound was completely isolated outside the city gate. Under the silent night sky, only a dull and strange air was left, spreading in the city.

The next day, when Nan Yan finally opened his eyes, there was nothing around him.

Zhu Feng was lying on his side beside her, his eyes closed and he seemed to be still sleeping.

It was just bright outside the window, and a little light came in through the window and shone on his face. Under such light, the fine lines on his face could be seen more clearly, and it seemed that there were more than before.

It is also a result of hard work these days.

Nan Yan stretched out his hand, and just as his fingertips were about to touch the corner of his eye, Zhu Feng opened his eyes: "Huh?"

Nan Yan changed to caress his cheek lightly, and felt that his outline under the palm of his hand became more and more distinct - in fact, he was much thinner than before, and couldn't help but say, "The emperor should take good care of him."

"It will naturally be raised when it should be raised."

Zhu Feng stretched his waist and turned to look at her: "What did you want to do just now?"

Nan Yandao: "It's nothing."

Zhu Feng looked at her and didn't speak. Nan Yan was caught by his gaze and had nowhere to escape, so he could only say with a smile: "The concubine just looked at the corner of the emperor's eye, uh, the corner of his eye—"

Seeing her hesitating, Zhu Feng stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, and said, "Wrinkles have grown."

Nan Yandao: "The concubine didn't say that."

Zhu Feng himself laughed, he sat up and put on his clothes, and said, "What's so hard to say? I'm not a boy of seventeen or eighteen. Ten years is not a waste of life."

Nan Yan also got up, leaned up from behind, rested his chin on his shoulder, and said, "Your Majesty really thinks about it."

Zhu Feng turned his head and bumped her forehead with his forehead, and said with a smile: "The world is so vast, if people can't think about it, then they will really give in to themselves."

The two got up talking and laughing, and the people outside listened to the voice and immediately came in to serve.

After washing up, they sat together and had breakfast together. The people below came in and cleaned up the dishes. Nan Yan made a cup of tea for Zhu Feng and asked, "Is there anything the emperor has to do today?"

Zhu Feng was about to answer her when he heard a voice outside.

It's early in the morning, what's going on?

Nan Yan looked over and asked, "Who is it?"

Ruoshui ran in from the outside and saluted them before saying, "Your Majesty, Empress, yes, it's Chu Yun, the maid of honor from the Princess's side. She came to see if there is nothing wrong with the Empress, Princess. Your Highness is about to come to greet the empress."

Hearing this, Nan Yan couldn't help frowning.

On weekdays, when the princess came to greet her, she came directly. If she really had other things to do, the princess would either wait outside or go back and wait. How could anyone come over to see her like this? .

Seeing her tossing like this, she knew that she was trying to avoid her father.

Thinking of her thoughts, Nan Yan couldn't help but feel angry.

However, Zhu Feng said: "Let that Chu Yun go back and tell the eldest princess that you can come over to greet her mother-in-law, and I have something to go."

Nan Yan immediately looked back at him: "Your Majesty!"

How can there be a reason for fathers to avoid their daughters? Wouldn't this further encourage the "arrogance" of peace of mind?

However, Zhu Feng took a sip of tea, then got up and straightened his clothes, and said, "Okay, you don't have to scold her." After he said that, after thinking about it again, a smile appeared on his face, and said: : "My daughter can make such a fuss with me for the suffering of the common people, but she looks like a princess."

Nan Yan looked at him and seemed to be a little happy, just angry and funny.

Sure enough, Xinping pestered her like this for a whole day, eating and drinking together. Nan Yan only recovered at this time. This girl must have felt that she had been standing with Zhu Feng on the united front before, and she felt wronged. So now I want to come here to "compete for favor". Thinking about her problem since she was a child, she even has to beg for a lottery in front of her elder brother. When she grows up, her mind is as small as the tip of a needle.

But Zhu Feng explained that she didn't say much.

After a long day, Nan Yan accompanied her to finish dinner, and then said, "Go to bed early today."

Just as he was about to leave, he felt his hands sink.

Looking back, Xinping grabbed her sleeve: "Mother concubine...Mum concubine stay and sleep with Erchen, okay?"

Nan Yan couldn't help but sighed, stretched out her hand and twisted her face, and said, "You, don't think that this palace doesn't know what you're thinking. Your father can tolerate you enough.

Xinping snorted and dropped her hand.

Nan Yan sighed and said, "Xinping, you-you should be sensible earlier."

After saying that, he turned and left.

As soon as she left, Xinping's mood also deteriorated, and she asked all the servants to retreat, and she stayed in the room by herself. Even the last light was turned off, and the people around did not dare to quarrel with her. 's retreat.

At this time, in the darkness of the night, a dark figure sneaked into this quiet courtyard.
