The jewels and jade on her head almost pierced Nan Yingzhi. She wanted to dodge, but she had nowhere to retreat.

"hiss!"

Nan Yingzhi never expected that she would encounter the Iron Head Kung Fu. She was caught off guard and gasped in pain.

This Yun Ji was exactly as described in the original novel. His train of thought was strange and bizarre, different from that of ordinary people. He just bumped into me without even saying hello.

Nan Yingzhi felt it was unreasonable. She covered her chest which was hurt by the collision and said in a low voice: "Why did you bump into me suddenly?"

Yun Ji still had a cold expression on his face. He spoke each word with emphasis: "You bumped into me first."

Nan Yingzhi was speechless. This guy was really the kind of person who would take revenge on the spot if he had a grudge!

There was silence all around, and Nan Yingzhi felt something was wrong.

That is to say, if they saw the "Regent" being knocked down by someone, wouldn't they come over and pull the person away?

Could it be that the regent position had been sidelined during this period?

She shuddered. How long could she, the "Regent", live?

Nan Yingzhi quickly looked around to observe the attitudes of others.

Under the plaque with three big characters "Kunning Palace", they all knelt humbly, their heads wishing they could lower to the ground.

They were like quails, all forced to watch silently under the tyranny of the Regent.

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she suddenly understood why they didn't come to help her, and even didn't dare to come over here.

Yun Ji hated the inquiring looks of others, so the first order he issued after taking office was that, except for the emperor and the empress dowager, everyone else had to bow their heads when they saw him from afar, and could not look up without permission.

The most important thing about this order is that you must never look directly into his eyes, otherwise your eyes will be... gouged out.

Looking at them like this, Nan Yingzhi felt that the Regent should still have real power at this time.

After all, a servant's attitude best reflects his or her status.

She was still being held down by Yun Ji, lying on the ground, feeling the cold tiles at the entrance of Kunning Palace.

Although her back hurt, she felt relieved. However, it was the former Regent King Yun Ji's fault for coming to help, so she couldn't really blame the servants.

But Nan Yingzhi was a little speechless about this setting. If people were not allowed to watch directly, what would happen if the Regent was assassinated or something unexpected happened?

They didn't even look up, just listened to the Regent's screams?

Although, the Regent is extremely powerful and has even been on the battlefield himself, defeating the enemy, it is unlikely that he would be killed by a small assassin.

However, it is better to be safe than sorry. No matter how good your kung fu is, three punches can no longer defeat four kicks. If you are surrounded and beaten, you will still be dead.

As a person who values ​​life, Nan Yingzhi would like to have a few more guards to protect herself. Whether they can be relied upon at critical moments is another matter, but at least she will feel safe.

She glanced at the quiet interior of Kunning Palace again, and truly observed that the queen was "indifferent to worldly affairs."

They made such a big fuss at the gate of Kunning Palace, but the Queen didn't come out to say anything.

The cool autumn wind brushed Nan Yingzhi's cheek lightly and stirred the maple leaves in the palace, making a rustling sound.

As the regent remained silent, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

The bystanders crawled on the ground, even breathing quietly, for fear that they would accidentally make a sound and be noticed by the Regent.

The originally tense situation of caning and execution turned into a large-scale kneeling punishment scene outside the Kunning Palace.

Nan Yingzhi looked at this scene that suffocated everyone but made her feel at ease, and felt that a higher-ranking official could really crush someone to death.

Sitting on the throne of power, everyone below is an ant.

For example, the Imperial Concubine Shu, who had just been showing off her power and taking advantage of her high position to disregard her own life, had to kneel down in shame when she saw the Regent.

Having tasted the sweetness of power for the first time, Nan Yingzhi, who has always cherished her life and refused all kinds of struggles, finally understood why so many people have been obsessed with power and crazy about power, taking huge risks to seek power since ancient times.

To be fair, if she wasn't at the center of power, which is like standing at the center of a storm, it is too dangerous and her life could be in danger at any time. She would also want to hold power.

It is said that wealth and honor are achieved through risk. As a person who is afraid of death, she should plan to resign and go home as soon as possible.

Nan Yingzhi was extremely grateful that he was now the majestic regent, rather than a "South American" who was about to be sentenced to death.

Because she currently has no pressure to survive, she feels relieved.

She has always been selfish and only cares about her own life and death. As for how Yun Ji lives, what does it have to do with her?

Nan Yingzhi was just about to push Yun Ji away, get up, pat her butt and leave, when Yun Ji suddenly pressed the acupoints on her body and covered her mouth with his hand.

Because she was completely unprepared, even though she had the physique of a seven-foot-tall man, she had no time to react. She was forced to shut up and watch Yun Ji pull out the hairpin on his head and press it against her throat.

Even though it was a delicate female voice, the murderous intent in his words did not diminish: "Save the orphan."

Although he was wondering why the collision just now did not bring the two people back, Yun Ji quickly accepted the reality and began to seek a way out for this body.

Guessing that these concubines were after his body, Yun Ji took the initiative and threatened with his own life, forcing the "Regent" to save him.

Nan Yingzhi's life and property were threatened again. She trembled, as if she was afraid, but also excited. When Yun Ji let go of her hand and replied to her, she asked: "What good will it do me to save you?"

Yun Ji didn't want to say more, and the strength in his hands did not decrease: "If you want to live, do as I say."

The pointed hairpin pressed against her fragile skin, and Nan Yingzhi felt her neck go cold, with a nameless anger rising up.

If the tiger doesn't show off its power, do you think she is a sick cat?

Relying on the difference in physical strength, Nan Yingzhi raised her hand to pinch Yun Ji's neck: "Can you please speak properly?"

Since he had never seen this person in his previous life, Yun Ji was not sure whether she was an enemy or a friend. He planned to observe her for a while and did not want to kill her for the time being.

Besides, if I accidentally killed her, it would be bad if I happened to be replaced by her.

When he saw Nan Yingzhi rushing towards him, he calmly dodged Nan Yingzhi's slow-motion hand and took back the hairpin at the same time.

Sensing Nan Yingzhi's strong desire to survive, Yun Ji took advantage of this weakness.

"Miss, if you don't save me," Yun Ji leaned over and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "your soul will dissipate, and you might be brought back. Who can save you then?"

The five words "Who can save you" convinced Nan Yingzhi with incredible accuracy. She calmed down and felt that these words made sense.

The mechanism of body swapping is not yet clear. Only when both shells are safe can she ensure that her life is truly safe.

"Okay," Nan Yingzhi decided to compromise for her own safety, "I'll save you."

Anyway, she is now the regent with real power, so saving a concubine is easy for her.

Yun Ji fiddled with the strand of hair that was pulled down by the hairpin and tried to move the hairpin back to the top of her head.

He moved aside and asked Nan Yingzhi to stand up: "Please."

Even though no one dared to look up, Nan Yingzhi still straightened her robes to be worthy of the audience, put away the expression on her face, and got into the state in a second.

She put her hands behind her back and said in a cold tone: "What are you doing?"

As the person with the highest status in the whole place, Concubine Shu quickly responded when she heard the Regent King's question: "I was admonishing the sisters in the harem, and I didn't want to disturb the prince. Please forgive me for making fun of you."

Nan Yingzhi glanced at the execution equipment set up not far away and continued to ask, "What did she do wrong to deserve being caned?"

Concubine Shu broke out in a cold sweat. According to the laws of the harem, the South American man's crime was not punishable by death. She was unwilling to let the South American man survive because of her own selfish desires.

That face, those eyes and brows, really look like that person. If the emperor saw her, he would definitely promote her and call her to sleep with him every day.

But the Regent's words and deeds all revealed his intention to save the South American woman. How could Concubine Shu dare to disobey?

It seems that the emperor is in power now, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is still immature and the regent is the one who holds power.

It is not a wise strategy to offend the Regent just to win favor!

Besides, if the open way doesn’t work, can’t she do it secretly?

"Your Highness is right," Concubine Shu agreed hastily, "I was inconsiderate, and Sister Nan's crime does not deserve death."

Sister Nan? Her last name is Nan?

Yun Ji looked down at the slender white hands of the body, his face full of disbelief.

She is Nan Yi's beloved daughter, the Nan Yingzhi who died early in the harem in her previous life? !

If we talk about who he felt most sorry for in his previous life, it must be his general, Nan Yi.
