That night, Nan Yan didn't close his eyes at all.

She didn't even take a nap, just sat on the head of the bed, holding her sleeping daughter in one hand, and opened her eyes to watch the dark night outside the window slowly revealing a little milky morning light.

Day is coming.

And this whole night, it was not safe outside. The people in the South Court had experienced a previous riot, so this time the north of the city was fighting, and the entire South Court was heavily guarded. Be vigilant, so all night, Nan Yan could hear the sound of patrols passing by from time to time.

But this time, she heard some other voices. It was obvious that someone entered the mansion, stood outside the courtyard and said a few words, but did not come in.

She hurriedly released Xinping, and immediately got up and got out of bed.

Xin Ping was also very alert, opened his eyes immediately, and asked in a daze, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Nan Yan didn't even take off his clothes, just brushed his clothes to make them tidy, and then turned around and said, "It's okay, you sleep with you."

After saying that, he pushed the door and walked out.

It was still very dark outside, and only a bit of fish maw white in the far east horizon, but the entire southern courtyard was brightly lit, and there were alert people everywhere. As soon as Nan Yan went out, he saw a few people standing at the gate of the courtyard, and there were people holding up lamps to outline their familiar outlines.

It was the King of Han Zhu Chengjun, and Wei Ying, Wen Wuyu and others who followed behind him.

Nan Yan immediately said, "Cheng Jun?"

As soon as he heard her voice, Zhu Chengjun turned his head to look, a happy smile appeared on his face full of soot, and he ran over in a hurry. Because he rushed too hard, he almost hit her and stopped in a hurry. feet, and then said with a smile: "Mother!"

Wei Ying and the others also hurried over and bowed respectfully to Nan Yan: "Meet the noble concubine."

Nan Yan looked down and saw that their hair was disheveled, and their clothes were covered with blood and dust. It was obvious that they had come back from a war, and there was even some soot on their faces, making Zhang Junlang's face look like a cat. Although I didn't see them killing the enemy with my own eyes, I could imagine how they spent the night just by looking at the appearance of a few children.

But fortunately, they all returned safely.

Nan Yan couldn't help smiling and said, "You are all back."

Zhu Chengjun said happily: "I'm back, come to see my mother as soon as I come back. I just heard that my mother is still resting, so I didn't dare to disturb."

Nan Yandao: "What's this? Last night was your first time on the battlefield, and when you came back victorious, Ben Gong should take care of you in person."

Zhu Chengjun said with a smile: "A small victory is nothing."

"Yo, you are still humble."

The voice of Xinping sounded from behind Nan Yan. Everyone looked up and saw that she was also dressed, but her hair was not combed. She just ran over happily. Nan Yan glared at her and scolded her for not doing this. , But Xinping didn't care about this, ran to his brother and looked at him up and down, and then said, "Really won?"

Zhu Chengjun immediately straightened his small chest.

Wei Ying, who was behind him, also smiled and said to Xinping, "Don't doubt, Your Highness Princess, Her Royal Highness the King of Han won a big victory last night, and the people of the Yue Kingdom were terrified. of."

Hearing this, he smiled so much that his eyes twitched.

She stretched out her hand and tapped Zhu Chengjun's shoulder hard, and said, "Not bad, tell me quickly how this battle was fought."

Zhu Chengjun rolled his eyes and smiled deliberately: "Sister, guess what."

Xinping immediately pouted: "How can I guess?"

Seeing the two of them like this, Nan Yan also laughed and said, "He must have taken Wei Ying and the others to Doubei Town. The city north fought so hard last night, it must be that the troops in Doubei Town have all been transferred. Go to the north of Yongzhou City, the door is wide open, so they can take advantage of the emptiness to enter. In the middle of the night, there is a fire there. You must have burned other people's things. "

"..."

"It's grain, right?"

Zhu Chengjun was speechless for a while.

Even Wei Ying and Wen Wuyu, who were standing behind him, widened their eyes in surprise. Several people looked at each other. In the end, Wei Ying stammered: "Ms. Niang, did Niang-niang go to the tower to watch the battle?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Bengong has been waiting here for news all night, why did he go to the tower to watch the battle?"

Zhu Chengjun said, "How could the concubine know what we did? It's just like what I saw with my own eyes."

Nan Yan smiled, and simply beckoned a few of them to enter the room, and asked for some refreshments. These children must have been tired and hungry after tossing around all night. She sat on the chair, and then she took it easy He said, "What's so hard to guess? Your father made a special trip to transfer you from the capital to let you participate in the war, but this is your first war, and he certainly won't really let you go to the country of Yue. the main team.”

"..."

"This is a clever battle. You don't have to kill the enemy, just frighten the people in Doubei Town."

"..."

"I see that you still have soot and some grains on you. You might have burned other people's food and grass."

Wei Ying and Wen Wuyu were too surprised to speak.

This plan was not even known to them before they set off. His Majesty the Emperor also made it very clear in the letter to the King of Han, and he could not tell anyone before he started. How could the imperial concubine know such top-secret information?

Zhu Chengjun said in disbelief, "Mother, how come you know everything?"

"..."

"Did your father tell you?"

Nan Yan smiled lightly and said, "How could your royal father tell me this."

Zhu Chengjun was even more surprised: "Mother, did you guess it?"

"..."

"How could you guess?"

Xinping sat on the side, looked at his surprised look, waved his hand and said, "You underestimate the mother-in-law too. The mother-in-law is a worm in the father's stomach. She knows what the father thinks."

Nan Yan reached out and poked her hard.

But after laughing, she felt something was wrong in her heart, and turned to look outside.

The sky gradually became brighter, the lanterns and torches were extinguished everywhere in the South Courtyard, and the palace maids and eunuchs also began to come and go, but there was no movement outside.

What about Zhu Feng?

She couldn't help frowning slightly and asked, "Where's your royal father? Why haven't you come back?"

Upon hearing this, the room immediately became quiet.

Nan Yan turned to look, Wei Ying and Wen Wuyu immediately lowered their heads, and then looked at their little son, his eyes flickered a little, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "Father... Father is not yet. return."

"did not return?"

Nan Yan frowned: "Where did he go and hasn't come back yet?"
