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

When the troops were about to be dispatched, he accidentally learned from a spy in the palace that Nan Yi's beloved daughter Nan Yingzhi had died from caning.

In order to ensure a smooth expedition, he suppressed the news and did not let Nan Yi know. He only ordered people to secretly collect Nan Yingzhi's body and find a good place to bury it.

Poor Nan Yi, who had fought with him in many battles for many years, still boasted to him about the naughty deeds of his beloved daughter when she was young. Only when he returned to the capital was he told that his beloved daughter had passed away long ago.

Deeply shocked, he watched Nan Yi, such a high-spirited man, turn gray overnight.

The man who had been in the battlefield for many years and had the chance to come back alive, went to hell without eating or drinking for several days.

Fortunately, this time he accidentally saved the person he failed to save in his previous life. It seems that General Nan does not have to starve to death again.

However, since she is the daughter of an old friend, is it inappropriate to pull her over to avenge himself?

Well, she may not even be able to read, so rebellion is too difficult for her, and revenge requires more planning...

Nan Yingzhi went all out and drove away the concubines who were silent as a mouse. She turned around and saw that the corners of Yun Ji's eyes were red, as if he was about to cry.

"Hey," Nan Yingzhi pretended not to notice and waved her hand in front of Yun Ji's eyes, which were almost blurred by tears, "What are you thinking about?"

Yun Ji blinked and tried hard to hold back his tears. His mind became clear and he saw a eunuch holding a whisk looking around not far away.

After seeing the man's facial features clearly, Yun Ji understood everything in his heart. It was just like in his previous life - Gao Shu, the eunuch beside the emperor, came to find the "Regent" at this time.

Gao Shu saw the Regent from afar, and quickly lowered his head and moved over in small steps.

His voice was high-pitched, and his tone was flattering and respectful: "Your Majesty, the Emperor wants you to come to the Imperial Study, saying that he has something important to discuss. I have been looking for you everywhere."

The entrance to Kunning Palace, which had just quieted down, was filled with noise again as Gao Shu came over to deliver a message.

Seeing Gao Shu, the attendant serving at the palace gate quickly walked in, apparently to inform the queen.

The strange thing is that no one came out for a long time.

Based on the content of the eunuch's message, Nan Yingzhi deduced that he should be someone close to the emperor.

Those around the emperor are all shrewd people who can add icing on the cake for others or take advantage of them when they are down.

Not knowing what kind of relationship the Regent has with the eunuch, Nan Yingzhi was worried that she might say the wrong thing and displease him, leading to revenge against him in the future.

While the eunuch was looking down and couldn't see the situation, she seized the opportunity, widened her eyes, and "asked" Yun Ji with exaggerated mouth shape: "What should I do?"

Yun Ji had never seen such a vivid expression of seeking help on his face and was almost frightened.

After all, having experienced many ups and downs, he quickly adjusted his state, grabbed Nan Yingzhi's hand, and wrote "Ask him what he wants from you" on her palm.

After writing it, he found something wrong. Can Nan Yingzhi read?

Nan Yingzhi used her eyes and hands to feel the words he wrote, and finally understood Yun Ji's guidance.

She lowered her voice and asked the eunuch, "Sir, do you know why His Majesty is looking for me?"

Yun Ji was very pleased to hear Nan Yingzhi's successful reply. This young boy is teachable, and his plan of revenge seems to have hope.

"The Emperor has been unable to sleep all night because of the war in the north. I think..."

The father-in-law stopped talking halfway, as if implying "you know".

Yun Ji's expression was indifferent. The emperor really wanted to see him this time because of the war in the northern border.

Speaking of which, this was the starting point of his disagreement with the emperor.

In order to quell the war as soon as possible, he personally went into battle, which displeased the emperor, who thought that he coveted military power, and from then on the emperor and his subjects became estranged.

At that time, the emperor was unable to reject the proposal due to his enormous power, but he always felt resentful because he could not act according to his own wishes.

When Yunji returned triumphantly, the emperor "was in high spirits" and immediately held a celebration banquet to reward all the soldiers. He also toasted Yunji, who had no other title to offer, and called him "Royal brother, you are truly a loyal and devoted minister to me."

Yun Ji knew that the emperor couldn't sleep because of the military power in his hands. As a subject, he felt guilty. After returning from the expedition, he kept thinking about how to return the tiger talisman tactfully.

It happened that he was drunk at the time and handed over the tiger talisman directly, and also said in a corny way that he would continue to be loyal to the emperor.

The emperor smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and ordered his men to take the tiger talisman.

Now when he recalled it, that look was full of murderous intent. He was really blinded by greed, which was why he worked so foolishly and was eventually abandoned.

Thinking about the past, Yun Ji's eyes became deep. After thinking for a while, he wrote "I'll be there later" on Nan Yingzhi's palm.

Nan Yingzhi followed Yun Ji's instructions and replied, "Thank you for delivering the message, eunuch. Please leave. I will be there shortly."

Gao Shu didn't say much, he just hunched over and walked away.

Nan Yingzhi forgot that she was now in a man's body. She subconsciously stood on tiptoe, covered her eyes with her hands and watched the eunuch leave.

Making sure that the eunuch was far away and couldn't hear their conversation, she asked Yun Ji, "Who is this person?"

"Gao Shu, the favorite of the Emperor," Yun Ji frowned as he saw Nan Yingzhi standing on tiptoe, "You are a man now after all, so please be careful about your behavior."

Nan Yingzhi also realized that her movements were inconsistent with her body and she withdrew her hand awkwardly.

Thinking that since it was Yun Ji's first time as a woman, she must have some shortcomings, she looked at her carefully and began to find faults with her patience as if she was "finding the differences".

After looking him up and down several times, she was surprised to find that Yun Ji's manners were impeccable.

Except for a look of slight disdain in his eyes, he was as elegant as a lady from a noble family in every other aspect.

Nan Yingzhi felt that she was being completely beaten in terms of acting, and she was unhappy. Her tone became sour: "I didn't expect that you are quite suitable to be a concubine."

Yun Ji sneered in his heart. After staying in the palace for so many years, how could he not even know the etiquette of the concubines in the palace?

It's just a matter of whether you're willing to pretend or not.

He had heard that there were endless little tricks in the harem, but he didn't care much about it, because it wouldn't be dirtier than the previous dynasty, right?

Nan Yingzhi can read and know how to ask for help, which makes Yun Ji suspicious. Nan Yingzhi was tricked to death in her previous life, so how come she is so much smarter in this life?

Putting himself in other people's shoes, Yun Ji even suspected that Nan Yingzhi was also a reborn person.

However, all his understanding of Nan Yingzhi came from Nan Yi.

He had no idea what kind of person Nan Yingzhi was.

At present, it seems that she is literate and good at disguise. Except for her slightly feminine etiquette, there is nothing wrong with her.

As a comrade who was forced to face the outside world together because of the body swap, Yun Ji was quite satisfied with her.

He followed Nan Yingzhi's words and demonstrated etiquette to her.

Yun Ji folded his hands and bowed, looking gentle and polite: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Nan Yingzhi thought that her acting skills were unrivaled, but she didn't expect that she would meet a worthy rival. She didn't know what to say, so she silently gave Yun Ji a thumbs up.

Thinking that there was a rough man inside the pretty girl, the goose bumps that she had finally gotten rid of appeared again.

Yun Ji has been a man for so many years, does he really have no psychological burden in playing a female role?

Nan Yingzhi felt powerless, as if her sarcasm was like hitting cotton. She changed the subject: "The emperor asked you to talk about military affairs. How should I respond?"

Nan Yingzhi had heard of the more famous strategies in Sun Tzu's Art of War, but had never studied them in detail. In general, she knew almost nothing about leading troops in battle.

"Can you give me some tips or something like that?" Nan Yingzhi was timid, "I'm afraid I'll be exposed."

Yun Ji did not respond directly. He glanced at the still quiet Kunning Palace and said in a low voice: "Be careful, the walls have ears."

"Oh," Nan Yingzhi nodded and lowered her voice, "Then do you know where it would be more convenient to talk?"

Speaking of secrets, the Anhui Palace, which had not been renovated by my mother for many years, came into view.

Yun Ji pondered for a moment and answered honestly: "I know, but I can't make it now."

He looked around carefully and lowered his voice: "Now is not the time to chat. The emperor has ordered you to go over quickly."

As expected, he is still that die-hard fan of the emperor who says "When the emperor gives an order, I will be there immediately", Nan Yingzhi complained in her heart.

She looked at the identical red walls on both sides of the official road outside Kunning Palace and felt troubled.

"I want to ask you something," Nan Yingzhi said with an awkward smile when she saw Yun Ji nod, "How do I get to the Imperial Study?"
