"Canonization Ceremony?"
Nan Yan didn't want to listen to him at first, but when she heard these four words, she shuddered all over again: "You said, canonization ceremony?"
"yes."
"Isn't Concubine Ning the one conferred by the emperor?"
"Of course it's Concubine Ning, the decree has already been sent down to all government offices."
"Since it is Concubine Ning canonized, why is there a canonization ceremony?"
As a noble concubine, she is very clear about the rules in the palace. Only when the queen and noble concubine can be canonized, the canonization ceremony will be held in the palace. At that time, there were no grand ceremonies.
It's just that after receiving the canonized edict, go to the Yonghe Palace on your own, and accept the empress's instruction, which is considered a ceremony.
Why would Concubine Ning have a canonization ceremony
Zhu Xuan glanced at her, and said with a half-smile, "Actually, this king also thinks that this matter is against the rules."
"..."
"But, if the emperor wants to do this, what can he do?"
"..."
"After all, I heard that Concubine Ning committed a crime a while ago. She was obviously thrown into the cold palace, but she was brought out by the emperor anyway. Moreover, the emperor loves her a lot these days. If I think about it, I'm afraid it's just a resurgence of old feelings. Concubine I'm afraid the empress doesn't know, the two of them went to—"
"His Royal Highness King Ning!"
Before Zhu Xuan could finish speaking, Jian Ruocheng spoke from the side, and interrupted him forcefully: "It's time for us to leave, we have something to say, let's talk about it when we come back."
Zhu Xuan looked up at him.
Looking at Nan Yan whose face suddenly became even paler, even paler, he sighed deliberately, and said, "Okay."
Jian Ruocheng walked to Nan Yan's side, bowed his head and said to her, "Let's get in the carriage first."
"..."
Nan Yan stood there dumbfounded.
She hadn't slept all night, and her body was already extremely weak. At this time, her hands and feet were cold, as if her whole body was not her own.
Only Jian Ruocheng's voice came faintly with a bit of gentleness that belonged to him.
She looked up at him.
Nodding silently: "Yes."
Jian Ruocheng helped her into the carriage, and when the curtain was lowered, just as she turned around, she saw Zhu Xuan stepping forward, leaning in front of him: "Ruocheng."
"My lord."
"You should know what the king said just now." Zhu Xuan raised his eyebrows at him: "It's already at this time, this 'imperial concubine' doesn't want to go back to the palace anymore, is it possible? You just want her to be so lonely all her life."
"..."
Jian Ruocheng frowned.
As Zhu Xuan said, he stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "I said those words to help you."
"..."
"This king is so devoted to you, don't let me down."
Jian Ruocheng turned to look at him, was silent for a while, and said: "Since I am doing things for the prince, I will naturally do my best and will never be held responsible. It's just—"
He glanced back at the drawn curtains of the carriage.
It was so quiet inside that there was no sound at all.
It's just that I don't know what Nanyan's pain is like now.
He let out a deep breath, and then said: "Please don't meddle in this matter, my lord."
Zhu Xuan glanced at him, and then said, "Okay."
"..."
"This king will not intervene in this matter, but you can't be careless about this king's affairs."
As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him, and Zhai Yun, who was standing not far behind him, immediately stepped forward and presented an iron box.
Zhu Xuan took it and handed it to Jian Ruocheng.
Jian Ruocheng said: "This is—"
"It's a bargaining chip."
Zhu Xuan said: "The other party will definitely have doubts about selling such a large batch of ironware to us, so this is the bargaining chip I gave you."
"..."
"If the other party wants to make things difficult, you can show him this iron box."
Jian Ruocheng was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly and looked at the iron box, which was still locked, and said: "Then this lock—"
"The other party has a key in his hand, which we agreed in advance."
"oh."
Jian Ruocheng looked at the box with deep eyes, and reached out to take it.
He just took over, and felt that apart from the weight of the iron box, the inside seemed to be very light, and there was no other weight, but Zhu Xuan stretched out his hand again, and knocked on the iron box twice with two fingers: "This thing is very important. Very, Ruocheng, you have to watch carefully."
Jian Ruocheng glanced at him, then nodded solemnly: "Yes."
Only then did Zhu Xuan smile and take a step back with his hands behind his back, as if handing over the things to him in peace, Jian Ruocheng nodded to them, and then got into the carriage with the box.
Soon, the surrounding guards protected the carriage and left in front of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Looking at their backs, Zhu Xuan stood at the door, the smile on his face did not fade for a long time, but Zhai Yun stepped forward, walked to his side, and said softly: "Your Highness, you really feel relieved to give that thing to Jian Ruocheng ?”
"..."
Zhu Xuan looked back at him.
He didn't say a word, but there was a bit more cunning in his smile.
While in the carriage, Jian Ruocheng looked at the box, and after a while, it was placed in a hidden compartment in the carriage.
Nan Yan sat on the other side of the carriage and only glanced at it.
But he didn't ask much.
Jian Ruocheng said, "You don't want to ask?"
Nan Yan was silent for a while, turned her head to look at the curtain that was blown up by the wind from time to time, and said flatly: "You won't say it."
"..."
Jian Ruocheng looked at her for a while, and said, "Actually, if you ask, I will answer. But now, you don't have the heart to ask, right?"
"..."
Nanyan's throat stuck.
indeed.
She thought about many possibilities, thought about what Zhu Feng would do, and even thought about whether the imperial court would directly use troops against Zhu Xuan.
But, this was the only thing that she didn't expect.
She wasn't prepared for this either.
At this point, it's useless to say anything.
Sensing her depression, Jian Ruocheng looked at her quietly for a while, and then said softly: "Some things have already happened, so don't think about it."
"..."
"It's better to look forward, maybe there will be some people and things you expect to appear in front of you?"
"..."
His eyes are as gentle as water.
Nan Yan only glanced at him.
But immediately, she turned her gaze away.
She just looked at the curtain that was blown up by the wind, and also saw the weather outside, because Changqing City is close to the sea, the weather here is always very good, even in severe winter, the sky is blue and white clouds.
She said softly: "The day I was canonized, the situation changed."
"..."
"Today, she canonize, what kind of weather will it be?"
Jian Ruocheng's gaze flickered slightly.
