Seeing Yun Ji's tears falling, Nan Yingzhi was a little flustered, contrary to her usual leisurely and contented state.

She doesn't like to see others cry because ordinary people crying makes her feel weak and incompetent.

After all, crying is useless when faced with problems. If crying could solve problems, wouldn’t everyone cry when faced with problems?

But for Yun Ji, the situation was completely different.

With the blessing of favorability and Yun Ji's beautiful face, he cried, like a pear blossom in the rain, so touching.

The beauty was crying, but Nan Yingzhi had no thoughts of scolding her. All she had in her mind was how to protect her.

"You, don't cry," Nan Yingzhi subconsciously reached out to wipe the tears from Yun Ji's eyes, and soothed her softly, "I promise that next time I won't make such jokes that make you uncomfortable. Can you forgive me this time, okay?"

Yun Ji found that the trick of "using tears to gain sympathy" was very effective for her. Regardless of the voice in her heart that loudly said "yes", she was very stubborn and refused to move at all.

Therefore, in Nan Yingzhi's opinion, Yun Ji must have suffered a great injustice, so he would rather shed tears silently and not say a word.

"I will never speak without restraint again, make such an excessive joke to you, or say insulting words to you," Nan Yingzhi put three fingers together as if to swear to the sky, "If I lie to you, I'm a puppy."

After crying for a long time, Yun Ji's eyes were as red as a rabbit's. In between sobs, he asked, "Are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true, truer than gold and silver. The moon represents my heart." Nan Yingzhi sat up with a somersault and hugged him in her arms. "Stop crying. It hurts me to see you crying like this."

Feeling the warmth in the embrace, Yun Ji finally let go and nodded slowly.

Although he realized it later, his crying and making a fuss, and wanting Nan Yingzhi to "coax and hug him", wasn't this just what the rumors said, "being spoiled and arrogant"?

Finally, Yun Ji was coaxed into silence. Nan Yingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his tears with a handkerchief: "Good boy, you finally stopped crying."

After hearing what she said, Yun Ji felt a little embarrassed and burst into laughter.

Nan Yingzhi wiped his tears carefully and stroked his back: "Are you tired of crying?"

Yun Ji couldn't help feeling sleepy after staying up until the early morning. He rubbed his eyes, snuggled into Nan Yingzhi's arms, and said in a muffled voice: "Yeah, I'm tired."

Thinking that the time was about right, Nan Yingzhi supported Yunji's shoulders and was about to lay him down on the bed: "Rest if you are tired. I wish you a good dream."

In a daze, when he was about to leave Nan Yingzhi's arms, Yun Ji suddenly remembered that because she was using his body, she inherited his headache.

Feeling sorry for Nan Yingzhi's headache, she still insisted on devoting herself to Dali and was always available when called in the middle of the night. Yun Ji couldn't help but pursed his lips and pulled at the corner of her clothes.

Feeling resistance, Nan Yingzhi stopped her hand from sending him down and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you have a headache?" Thinking that he couldn't always be by her side to help her press her acupoints, Yun Ji instructed, "Take silver dan grass and chicken tongue incense, mix their fragrance, smell it when you have a headache, it will make you feel better, and don't catch a cold." (In ancient times, silver dan grass was mint and chicken tongue incense was clove)

"Speaking of which, you always have headaches. What's the reason?" Thinking that ancient people didn't know the term "principle", Nan Yingzhi explained it in a more understandable way, "That is to say, what are the reasons for your headaches?"

"It seems to be related to many factors," Yun Ji recalled the signs of the previous attacks and said, "Sometimes it's because I think too much, sometimes it's because I catch a cold, but most of the time it's because I'm thinking about something and getting a headache."

Seeing Nan Yingzhi being called into the palace late at night, Yun Ji guessed that she was the former, and immediately took the initiative to show concern: "Little Gardenia, are you worried about something?"

"I guess so." Nan Yingzhi was still struggling with being hurriedly called to the palace in the middle of the night and then hurriedly driven out. She rubbed her chin, "I always feel that something is not right about the war in Beishuo."

People were in the side hall, and they only heard the general outline of the military report. Yun Ji motioned for her to elaborate and asked, "What did you say?"

Feeling that this was not something that could not be told to Yunji, Nan Yingzhi told him the content of the conversation in the imperial study.

"Little Gardenia," Yun Ji thought for a moment and then spoke softly, "Have you heard of the Prince of Beishuo, Yuchi Yi?"

Of course she knew the name of Yuchi Yi, but she couldn't tell Yunji that Yuchi Yi was a character in the book. Nan Yingzhi nodded and just said "I've heard of it", without elaborating on the source of the information.

"According to what you said," Yun Ji began to analyze the information at hand, "your father won a great victory, Yuchi Feng was seriously injured and suffered a tragic defeat, and Beishuo's morale was completely shattered... Therefore, I speculate that the Beishuo prince Yuchi Yi, who has always been in hiding, is very likely to show up."

In the original novel, Yuchi Yi appeared inexplicably. After listening to Yun Ji's speculation, Nan Yingzhi agreed: "It makes sense."

Yun Ji was delighted to receive the nod. In order not to show his complacency, he said modestly: "Actually, I can't be sure either. It's just a guess."

After all, in his memory of his previous life, this Yuchi Yi had never appeared.

In his previous life, he led the troops to defeat Yuchi Feng, and then returned triumphantly, but was given poisoned wine, ending his life.

Unable to ensure the direction of the next battle from the front, Yun Ji decided to attack from the side and catch the corrupt officials in the court.

"Little Gardenia," thinking about what Nan Yi said when he told him that "Admiral Zhao was corrupt and colluded with foreign enemies," "Find an opportunity to report to the Regent," Yun Ji reported Admiral Zhao to Nan Yingzhi, "Send someone to investigate Admiral Zhao."

"Why?" Nan Yingzhi knew that Admiral Zhao was a high-ranking official and that he would not be investigated unless it was a major matter. But she knew that Yun Ji must have his reasons for saying so. She looked at him with a deep gaze and asked, "Should we investigate openly or secretly?"

"He accepted the gift from Beishuo and colluded with foreign enemies. His son also defected. All these are enough for him to die to pay for his crime." When talking about business, Yun Ji put away his coquetry and said in a cold voice, "First, investigate secretly. Find relevant evidence that he accepted bribes, and then raid his mansion."

Nan Yingzhi had no objection to his method of handling the matter, and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll send someone to investigate after I leave the palace."

Delighted at the words "I'll listen to you", Yun Ji didn't even hear the following words "I'll send someone to investigate once you leave the palace". He uttered a light "hmm" and his face became hot involuntarily.

Hearing the noise coming from outside, it seemed that Gao Shu was calling Yun Ting to get up and prepare to go to court. Nan Yingzhi gently let go of Yun Ji's hand: "It's almost time, I should leave, goodbye."

A simple farewell caused Yun Ji to react extremely strongly.
