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

"Got it," Yun Ting nodded, motioning Gao Shu to go out and entertain the guests, "Tell the Regent to wait for me in the Imperial Study, I'll be right there."

Knowing that Yun Ting and Jin An had something to say, Gao Shu couldn't stay long, so he passed on the message. He said "yes" and took small steps back.

Seeing Gao Shu retreat, Yun Ting turned around and asked Jin An: "Hey, what were you going to say just now?"

Being interrupted by Gao Shuyi, Jin An lost interest in what he was about to say. He shook his head and changed the subject.

"Forget it. Isn't the Regent waiting for you outside? Don't make him wait anxiously," Jin An shrugged, as if it really didn't matter. "Go meet him first, and I'll talk to you when you come back."

"Why did you say 'I'm going to see the Regent'? I'm not the only one going to see him," Yun Ting said to Jin An, "After all, you are also a military commander and you have some understanding of the battle situation. Why don't you come along and discuss what to do together?"

Jin An uttered a "hmm" verbally, but did not move his body. He smiled lazily: "Farewell, don't you think that if I go with you, it will be a loss of face for you?"

"Ah?" Yun Ting was confused. "When did it happen?"

Jin An shook his head, still refusing: "If your good brother sees us walking out of the Yangxin Palace together, he will misunderstand."

"You are really something. You are usually shameless, but today you suddenly want to show some shame?" Yun Ting raised his eyebrows and stretched out his wrist to grab Jin An's arm to pull him up from the bed. "With the enemy at hand, why bother about whether it is embarrassing or not? Let's go."

Seeing Yun Ting coming over to pull him personally, Jin An's mouth curled up and he was secretly happy.

When he drove Miss Lian away, Yun Ting didn't say a word, but when he used a little trick, Yun Ting would come to coax her.

With Yun Ting's help, Jin An stood up with a smile on his face.

Sure enough, Yun Ting cared about him more than Lady Lian. In the game with Lady Lian, he was ahead.

Royal study room.

There were oil lamps lit in the room. Although they were far inferior to modern incandescent lamps, they were bright enough for reading and writing.

After staring at the swaying flame of the oil lamp for a while, Nan Yingzhi felt sleepy. She put her hands on the armrests of the chair and yawned sleepily.

Even with the bitter medicine to refresh herself and the serious matters to be discussed in the middle of the night, Nan Yingzhi was still in a daze.

Counting, this was the third time she had yawned. She rubbed her aching eyes and muttered to herself.

It was strange that Yun Ting called her to go to the palace immediately, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Nan Yingzhi saw someone coming in the distance in a daze. She guessed that except Yun Ting, no one else would come at this time, so she forced herself to be alert and stood up to salute: "Your Highness."

Originally, Yun Ting reached out to Jin An, just wanting to pull up the lazy Jin An.

Who would have thought that Jin An was so shameless that when he reached out his hand, he grabbed his hand and refused to let go no matter how hard he tried.

There was no other way, Yun Ting could only hold Jin An's arm and half pull and half drag him to the imperial study.

“No need to be polite,” Yun Ting was still silently trying to break free of Jin An’s hand, and he kept talking, “My Royal Highness, please take a seat.”

There was no place to land if she stood and she felt dizzy. In order to avoid falling, Nan Yingzhi would rather sit down.

With Yun Ting's words, she sat down with confidence.

Thinking about finishing the conversation early and going back to sleep, Nan Yingzhi skipped the usual small talk and went straight to the point, asking Yun Ting about military affairs: "Your Majesty summoned me to the palace late at night, saying that he wanted to discuss the war on the front line. I wonder what happened on the front line?"

Unlike the last written military report, this time the military intelligence was orally reported by the soldiers on the front line who had run back after several horses had died of exhaustion. Yun Ting could not throw the intelligence in Nan Yingzhi's face and let her read it herself like he did last time.

Originally, he wanted to complain to Nan Yingzhi like he had just complained to Jin An, but when he thought about how he was the one who stood against all the opposition and firmly stated in front of Nan Yingzhi that "Zhao Qiao should be sent out", Yun Ting touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Not wanting to admit his mistake himself and find someone to take the blame, he made a quick decision and put the blame on Jin An: "Speaking of which, it's Lord Jin who should be blamed. If Lord Jin hadn't praised Zhao Qiao to the heavens and insisted that I send Zhao Qiao, now...hiss!"

Being extremely familiar with Yun Ting's speaking patterns, Jin An felt something was wrong when he heard the words "Master Jin".

When he caught the thought of "I must send Zhao Qiao", he immediately realized that Yun Ting, this little bastard, wanted to put the blame on him.

However, when the crime of "recommending deserters" was pinned on Yun Ting, the emperor, no one dared to say anything. After all, "no one is perfect", but if the blame was directed at Jin An, he would be skinned alive if he didn't die!

So he immediately pinched Yun Ting's arm, and stopped Yun Ting from talking.

Yun Ting had delicate skin and tender flesh, and Jin An pinched him hard, causing him to gasp in pain.

He felt pain, but also guilty, so he could only mutter to Jin An in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

Jin An looked at him coldly, as if warning him, "Just try and slander me again."

Seeing Jin An getting angry, Yun Ting felt scared and a little guilty. He shrank his neck and didn't continue making up the story "No matter how wrong it is, it's all Jin An's fault."

Seeing the two of them doing something in front of her, Nan Yingzhi inexplicably remembered Yun Yan and Lou Yi who had also been flirting in front of her early this morning.

What's going on? Why does it feel like everyone around me is in pairs, but she...

Although, she is not completely single.

Thinking about Yunji, who is still in the deep palace and has an unclear relationship with her, Nan Yingzhi accidentally lost her mind and recalled Yunji's words "Little Gardenia, can you give me a chance?"

Thinking of Yun Ji who only acted like a spoiled child in front of her, Nan Yingzhi couldn't help but smile.

Even now, she still wonders when did Yun Ji start to fall in love with her?

What does he like about himself?

In terms of beauty, the body of "Nan Yingzhi" is indeed charming, and the body of "Yun Ji" also retains its charm, but when the two of them swapped places, there is no distinction between you and me.

In terms of talent and learning, it seems that she is not up to par. She did not make a name for herself by reciting poems or painting at banquets, nor did she do anything beneficial to the country and the people that is worthy of praise.

Could it be that Yun Ji fell in love with her because of... her soul?

They fell down, their souls exchanged, and by accident, they achieved the "soul resonance" that Yun Ji was pursuing?

Feeling that this reason was too far-fetched, Nan Yingzhi glanced at Yun Ting and Jin An, then came to her senses and discovered something strange.

Why did Yun Ting come in with Jin An? Aren't they just an ordinary monarch and subject? When did they become so close that they could "walk hand in hand"?

The headache that had been suppressed forcibly seemed to be coming back. Nan Yingzhi anxiously turned her arm that was resting on the armrest and accidentally touched the purse tied around her waist.

When she lowered her eyes and saw the clouds embroidered on the fabric, Nan Yingzhi's anxious heart seemed to be caressed by a gentle breeze, inexplicably softening it, and even her headache was relieved a lot.

Finally recovering from the embarrassment and guilt, Yun Ting ordered Jin An: "Jin An, tell the Regent what happened on the front line."

Letting himself speak would at least ensure that he would not be smeared. Jin An cleared his throat and began to speak: "Zhao Qiao fled in the face of the enemy, leaving Nan Yi alone and without help. As for the specific situation of the battle, it is still unclear."

From the idioms “deserve at the critical moment” and “isolated and helpless”, Nan Yingzhi felt that Jin An’s speech was a bit pedantic.

Thinking back to the last time Jinan asked them, "Is this what the ancient books say, 'Every failure is a learning experience'?" Yunji agreed and she went out happily. She found that Jinan's cultural level had improved.

It really proves the saying "When a scholar is away for three days, he is looked at with new eyes".

However, the focus is not on Jinan’s talent, but the emergency situation on the front line.

After hearing the whole story, Nan Yingzhi's already bad impression of Zhao Qiao became even worse.

After listening to Jin An's introduction of the situation, Yun Ting asked Nan Yingzhi anxiously: "Brother Emperor, what countermeasures do you have?"

Before Nan Yingzhi could say anything, Yun Ting interrupted her by calling her "Royal Brother" all the time.

The pain on her head felt like it was being pricked by a needle, and Nan Yingzhi inexplicably felt powerless, as if she was trying to clean up the mess of a naughty kid.

Unable to bear it any longer, Nan Yingzhi took off her gentle mask and revealed her anger. She cursed: "What are you arguing about? Can't you let me think quietly for a while?"
