Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

However, if asked where Jin An was, she could only answer one place.

Hell, or heaven.

She never thought that such a small question of hers would stump the Emperor of Dali. Dugu Yue looked surprised and said, "Your Majesty, even you don't know about this?"

Although the emperor did not need to know the daily whereabouts of his ministers, it was really suspicious that an important court official like Jin An disappeared for half a month!

Fearing that saying a few more words would make Yun Ji uncomfortable, Nan Yingzhi replied briefly: "He passed away."

Hearing the reply, Dugu Yue was even more surprised: "The last time we met, he was still in good health. How come he passed away in just half a month?"

"Unexpected events happen all the time," Nan Yingzhi not only did not elaborate, but also forced the topic to "cherish the present," "Try to live well today.

"After all, who knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident?"

After all, she had only met Jin An once, and Dugu Yue's shock turned into a sigh: "His skills are exquisite, I wanted to learn from him when I had free time, what a pity."

"That person is gone," Nan Yingzhi said meaningfully, seeing the Imperial Master in the house, looking at Dugu Yue from afar, "Cherish the person in front of you."

Dugu Yue followed her gaze and met the Imperial Master's eyes.

Sensing the affection in his eyes that she couldn't understand, she blinked a few times, recalling his inexplicable taking her in, and seemed to understand something.

Seeing Nan Yingzhi acting like a matchmaker, Dugu Yue shook her head slightly and said, "I'm afraid he and I are not a good match."

Thinking that she was unwilling to show her identity as a woman, Nan Yingzhi hinted to her that she knew her true identity: "Why do you say that? It's clear that there is a possibility that you and him can get married."

It took Dugu Yue a while to figure out from her words that her female body was exposed.

"I don't want to be with him, not because of my body, but mainly because our personalities don't match."

Dugu Yue recounted the differences between her and the Imperial Master's personalities, "I am a bohemian person, but he is content to stay in a corner. I'm afraid..."

After hearing her unable to come up with the next step for a long time, Nan Yingzhi said, "If you don't ask, how do you know whether he doesn't want to leave or he doesn't want to leave because no one is with him?"

Later she realized that she had acted out of character regarding her relationship with the Imperial Master. She had not asked him directly but had been hesitant. Dugu Yue suddenly realized how much she valued him.

If she wasn't afraid of being rejected, why would she not even dare to ask for an answer?

But what she said makes sense. If I don't ask in person, how can I know whether the Imperial Master has feelings for me?

Dugu Yue suddenly realized something and bowed: "Thank you for your guidance."

"No need. If you can succeed, it will be a good thing."

Nan Yingzhi was about to say a few more polite words when her collar was suddenly tugged by a force that was neither too strong nor too weak.

Knowing that it was Yun Ji who was urging her to stop chatting, leave the Imperial Master's Mansion, and return to the palace as soon as possible, she smiled apologetically, "I should take him back to the palace."

When Dugu Yue sent them to the mansion gate, Ling Feng, who had received the news earlier, happened to arrive.

Not knowing from whom to get the news about Ling Yu, he looked a little bewildered: "Ling Yu, he..."

"Lingfeng, right?" Dugu Yue said, "The Imperial Master called you here not to take your brother away, but to replace him and serve His Majesty and this beauty."

After roughly understanding the reason why the Imperial Master had summoned him from this person, Ling Feng nodded to indicate that he understood, but he still couldn't help asking, "Is Ling Yu okay?"

I don't know where he heard about Ling Yu's backlash. Dugu Yue used the words prepared by the national teacher to dismiss him: "He won't die. When you are free, you can come and see him."

Feeling relieved, Ling Feng heaved a sigh of relief and led Yun Ji and Nan Ying Zhi to the carriage: "Your Majesty, Prince, follow me."

Seeing the carriage move, Yun Ji's face turned pale and his brows knitted. Nan Yingzhi stroked his back and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

His stomach was churning, and Yun Ji had no time to respond. He just reached out to touch the pills stored in his sleeve.

He moved too quickly and hadn't had water for a long time, so his mouth was dry and he almost couldn't swallow.

Keeping an eye on his condition, Nan Yingzhi unscrewed the water bag and asked him to swallow the water.

After a lot of trouble, Yun Ji finally took the medicine. He put his hand on his chest, feeling his stomach swaying with the carriage, and breathing softly.

With her encouragement of "It's okay, I'm here", he only felt nauseous for a while and didn't vomit his breakfast.

Nan Yingzhi came down lightly, then turned around to help him up: "Slow down, watch your step."

Asking Gao Shu to call Shen Xi and Song Cheng over, she patted Yun Ji on the shoulder and said, "Go to the Yangxin Palace and rest for a while."

Unwilling to leave Nan Yingzhi and also wanting to know what had happened in the capital recently, Yun Ji hesitated for a moment and sat down on the couch behind the screen.

Upon learning that His Majesty had returned to the capital, Shen Xi and Song Cheng quickly went to the imperial study.

Upon learning that Beishuo had withdrawn its troops and signed a contract, Shen Xi nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Song Cheng even shouted, "It's great! Beishuo always had the upper hand over Dali before. Now, it's finally our turn to ride on them!"

Nan Yingzhi shared ideas such as "peaceful trade" and "rule by inaction" with them, and as expected, he received two votes of approval.

Through them, she had heard almost all the trivial matters in the capital. She waved her hand and signaled them to leave.

Perhaps it was because the wars at the border were so serious that the various tedious affairs in the capital seemed insignificant.

Today, there are still two issues to be resolved: the resettlement of people in the war zone and the empty national treasury.

After a while without any sound, Yun Ji came out from behind the screen and said, "Xiao Zhizi, what are you worried about?"

Unable to understand why the beautiful secretaries in the movies were so popular with bosses, Nan Yingzhi beckoned him and motioned for him to sit on her lap.

Yun Ji slid his fingertips down from her brow to her nose and tilted his head to ask, "What's bothering you so much?"

Meeting his probing gaze, Nan Yingzhi chuckled, "Once I see you, nothing bothers me anymore."
