He Yi said: "The lower official knows that the Second Young Master Jian has a very close relationship with the empress, and guesses that he should have stayed in the city these days and has not left. Today, the empress is going to mourn the people of Jian's family. I am afraid that he will come forward."
Nan Yandao: "Do you hope that I can find him?"
He Yi shook his head: "It's impossible to find him."
"..."
"Since that incident happened, the imperial court has sent several groups of people to look for him, but they have not found his whereabouts. It is unrealistic to find him just because the empress is going out of the palace to express condolences this time."
"Then you mean—"
"What Xiaguan means is that if he comes forward, I hope the empress can persuade him."
"Do you think he will show up?"
"..."
He Yi looked up at her for a while, and then said: "The lower official thinks that he would at least want to see the empress, even if it is to see the empress."
"..."
His eyes, like lamps, are bright and intelligent.
From the first time I saw these eyes, Nan Yan knew that this Taoist priest was a rare sober person in the world of mortals. Although he was involved in the world of mortals, he had a strong purpose, only doing his own things, and rarely getting involved with others in life.
Of course, as a Zhongshu Sheng Zuocheng, he has a lot of work to do every day, so he doesn't have the heart to care about other trivial matters.
This is naturally a very smart person, but it does not mean that he is completely ignorant of the things around him.
For example, he can see the relationship between Jian Ruocheng and himself very clearly.
Nan Yan was silent for a while, and did not deny it anymore, otherwise it would be too fake. She thought for a while and said, "Then, if he really appears, what should I tell him?"
He Yi said with a smile: "No matter what the next official teaches the empress to say, it's all done on purpose."
"..."
"Whatever you want to say, you can say it."
"..."
"Only one—"
He took a step forward and said softly: "This matter, Yu Gong, has affected the views of the students all over the world on the court. The empress is very clear about the matter between the emperor and Jian's family before. Now that King Ning's rebellion has just passed, the situation in the court It is still unstable and cannot withstand too many twists and turns; privately, Jian's family was wiped out, no matter what, the lower officials want to find the real culprit for them and give them justice."
"..."
"So this matter, I will trouble the empress."
Nan Yan looked at him for a while, then said softly: "I also hope that this matter can be resolved in the end."
He Yi nodded.
He took a step back, and those members of Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward, escorted Nanyan and Ran Xiaoyu into the carriage, while Heyi stood below, and gave them two more instructions, apparently telling them to escort them carefully along the way.
Soon, the carriage left here and drove towards the palace gate.
It was already late when they went out, and they talked with He Yi at the gate of the palace for a while. After leaving the palace, there were so many people on the road that the carriage could not move forward at full speed. When they arrived at Jian's house, it was almost You hour.
In addition, today is a cloudy day, with a feeling of twilight.
From a distance, Nan Yan saw the familiar gate of the house, which looked so depressing under the gloomy sky, but the carriage stopped when there was still some distance there.
Ran Xiaoyu immediately asked: "What's wrong?"
The coachman said, "Your Majesty, I can't make it through."
There was also a very noisy sound coming from the front, Nan Yan frowned, opened the curtains and saw a lot of people gathered at the door of Jane's house, almost blocking the door.
Looking at their attire, they are all scholars, with sullen expressions on their faces.
This situation reminded Nan Yan that when Jian Tongguang offended the emperor and was almost "killed by the ten clans", it was these scholars who came to support him and wanted to live and die with him, but now—
She was in a daze when she heard someone in the crowd shouting: "Until now, the imperial court has not given us an explanation for the tragedy of Jian's family. There must be something wrong with it!"
Immediately someone said: "That's right, Mrs. Jane is upright and has never had any enemies with anyone. It can't be that someone is seeking revenge and destroying the family. Someone must have ulterior motives!"
"Who the hell?"
"Why hasn't the court found the murderer until now!"
"I also heard that when the tragedy happened, people from the government came to arrest a few people, but those people seemed to be sent by the emperor."
"What?!"
In a word, it was like throwing a stone into the already turbulent lake.
Suddenly, the crowd boiled up.
"Could it be that the murderer is—"
"how so?"
"Before, Mr. Jian offended the emperor because of his honesty and loyalty, and the emperor almost wiped out his ten clans."
"To be exterminated like this now, wouldn't it be..."
Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more excited, Nan Yan was sitting in the carriage, and her brows became more and more wrinkled.
Ran Xiaoyu said softly: "Madam, do we still have to go to offer condolences?"
You know, with such an agitated crowd, riots are prone to occur. Even if she can fight, there are still people from Jin Yiwei with her, but there are so many people here, it is inevitable that there will be accidents.
Nan Yan thought for a while and said, "It's already reached this time, I can't retreat."
"But-"
"Needless to say."
As Nan Yan said, she stretched out her hand to lift the curtain in front of her. Ran Xiaoyu had no choice but to jump out of the carriage in a hurry, and then helped her get out of the carriage as well.
Several Jinyi guards around the carriage surrounded them very cautiously.
Nan Yan walked forward slowly.
Those students were still gathered around the door of Jane's house, shouting loudly. At this moment, a pale and haggard woman suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, but her eyes looked very firm.
who is she
Although this woman looked quiet and indifferent, she exuded a calm aura, which made everyone notice her involuntarily, and even quieted down by coincidence.
Nanyan started to walk forward.
The crowd also backed away subconsciously, making way for her silently.
Ran Xiaoyu and a few guards in Jinyi followed closely behind her. Although they didn't speak, they were sweating coldly on their palms and backs.
Unexpectedly, Nan Yan walked in like this.
When the people around saw her, after the initial astonishment, they couldn't help feeling puzzled, and asked softly, "Who is she? She doesn't look like a student."
"It's definitely not a student. You see, she still has guards and maids with her?"
After a while, someone said softly: "She, she seems to be a noble concubine."
"What?!"
"Really, she seems to be a noble concubine!"
Immediately, there was a commotion of astonishment in the crowd.
Several Jin Yiwei almost clenched their fists, staring nervously around.
There were only a few of them on the stage. In fact, there were other guards following behind. However, there were too many people here, which made them feel a little tricky.
However, Nan Yan showed no fear at all, and walked to the gate of Jian's house step by step.
As soon as he looked up, he saw the familiar door of the house.
At this time, someone said: "Is the person here the imperial concubine?"
