Nanyan's nose was sour, and tears were almost pouring up again.

Just when her eyes were hazy with tears, she suddenly found that the candlestick on the table was still and there was a faint, almost invisible light smoke coming out of the candlestick.

"Ahh

She let out a low cry and almost lunged forward.

Her hands were propped up on the table, barely holding her figure, and when she pounced, she brought a gust of wind that blew away the little bit of light smoke at once.

Ran Xiaoyu was taken aback by her: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Xiaoyu, have you seen it?"

"What?"

"This, this candlestick, was still smoking just now, and someone lit this candlestick!"

"Huh?"

Ran Xiaoyu also walked over, looked down, and there was nothing.

She sighed heavily and said softly, "Niangniang, I know you must want to see Second Master Jian, but—he's not here." ”

"No, he must be here!"

Nanyan said eagerly as he looked around: "Just now, I clearly saw that there was light in this room, and besides, there was smoke in the candlestick, he must have come back here!" ”

After speaking, she shouted loudly: "Second son, second son Jian!" ”

“……”

"I know you're here, can you come out?"

“……”

"I, I know you're sad, now you need someone around to support you, can you come out? At least let me see that you're okay. ”

Her voice, with a hint of tremor in her mourning, was even more desolate in this empty and cold room.

However, no one responded to her.

Nanyan was even more anxious, and even wanted to go to the door and shout at the silent and barren garden in front of her, but was grabbed by Ran Xiaoyu, her eyes were also red, and she said softly: "Niangniang, don't shout." ”

“……”

"Second Master Jian is really not here."

“……”

"There's no one here."

Nanyan stared blankly at everything around him, his lips trembled slightly, and without saying a word, tears slipped down again.

Could it be that I was really wrong just now?

But she just hopes that Jian Ruocheng can come back, even if he doesn't say anything, don't do anything, he has lost all his relatives, he is immersed in great pain, he shouldn't be so lonely, he also needs people's support and comfort, doesn't he?

Looking at the heavy, black-like sky in front of her, she said bitterly, "Where will you be?" ”

Ran Xiaoyu said softly: "Niangniang, don't be too sad, let's go back first." ”

“…… Well. ”

Nanyan sniffed on her red nose and walked out with her.

But just as they approached the mourning hall, they suddenly heard that the originally quiet mourning hall in front of them became noisy, as if a large number of people had gathered somewhere.

Someone was shouting, "What about the concubine?" ”

"We're waiting for her to give us an explanation!"

"Yes, Elder Jian can't die like this, we want the court to give us an explanation!"

It turned out that some people who had just been outside had come in.

As soon as she heard their voices, Ran Xiaoyu's brows immediately twisted, and feeling that the crowd was already angry, she grabbed Nanyan and said, "Niangniang, I'm afraid someone is going to make trouble." ”

“……”

Nanyan looked at the chaotic figure in front of him and frowned.

Just now, when she was outside, she felt it too.

Although before, when she was in Hecheng, there were also people who yelled at her like this, but at that time, it was because Hecheng was about to be breached, and everyone was on the verge of life and death, so they were desperate, but now-

Ran Xiaoyu said: "Niangniang, do you still want to go over?" ”

"Of course."

"However, if it passes like this, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen."

Nanyan said firmly: "But if I don't go over, then today, some rumors will be confirmed." ”

"It's-"

"I have to go."

After speaking, she took a deep breath and walked forward, Ran Xiaoyu bit her lower lip, knowing that it was unavoidable, she could only follow closely and carefully protect her.

The two men walked to the mourning hall.

Sure enough, all the people outside came in, and the originally quiet courtyard was suddenly crowded, which seemed very noisy, and several students who were originally guarding inside, as well as a few brocade guards, all stepped forward to stop them, but the more they blocked, the more excited they became.

"We want to see the concubine!"

"That's right, the concubine said that she wanted to give us an explanation, didn't she say anything and just leave?"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that the imperial court will also mess up this matter!"

A few brocade guards were about to be furious, and suddenly heard Nanyan's voice coming from behind-

"You can rest assured that the imperial court will not mess with this matter."

Everyone looked up and saw Nanyan slowly walking out from behind.

The corners of her eyes were still a little red, but at this time, in the face of so many people, her eyes became firm again, and even a little more strong, just one met her gaze, and the people around her who were originally noisy immediately quieted down.

Nanyan slowly walked in front of them.

His eyes swept coldly: "This palace, no one is allowed to mess around!" ”

Shocked by her momentum, the entire lobby was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

The atmosphere also became a little stiff.

I don't know how long it took, I saw the crowd swaying slightly, and the old man who took the lead in questioning her just now walked up, bowed to her, and then said: "Since the concubine Niangniang said so firmly, I don't know if she can give us an explanation." ”

Nanyan looked at him: "You guys, what do you want to explain?" ”

The old man said, "We want to know, why was the Jian family wiped out?" ”

Nanyan's brow furrowed.

The old man continued: "Before, Elder Jian offended the current emperor because of his upright temperament, and the emperor once ordered to exterminate the ten clans of the Jian family, and we all remember this matter very clearly!" ”

Nanyan said: "So what? ”

"Then may I ask, does the current situation still have anything to do with that incident?"

“……”

Nanyan's breath sank for a moment.

Without waiting for her to say anything, someone next to her continued: "That's right, the emperor wants to punish the ten clans of the Jian family, and now the Jian family has been wiped out, is it such a coincidence?" ”

"Moreover, we also heard that the second son of Jian was dismissed by the emperor for no reason before."

"He's still working for King Ning."

"I'm afraid it's—"

This time, Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help it, she calmed her face and said coldly: "King Ning rebelled and has been captured, what do you say about this?" ”

The old man sneered and said, "We want to know if the emperor is taking the opportunity of King Ning's rebellion this time to take revenge!" ”

"Yes, it must be!"

"The people of the Jian family died too unjustly!"
