The whole harem was dark, like a huge black cover. Only the place where Nan Yan and his party were had a little light, and Tingfu was walking in front with a lantern.

Although it was only a faint light, at this time, there was a dazzling feeling, as if to disperse all the darkness around.

After a while, they walked to a very remote and quiet place in the harem.

The door was closed.

Nan Yan raised his chin to the front and said, "Go and call the door."

This time Ruoshui ran very fast, she stepped forward, knocked a few times on the closed door, and immediately heard a panic inside.

Obviously, no one in the usual harem would come here so late.

Soon, the door was opened by a thread.

A palace lady popped out half of her head, glanced outside, and said timidly: "Who?"

Ruoshuidao: "The imperial concubine is here, open the door!"

"...!"

The palace lady was shocked, and she retreated subconsciously, not even opening the door, but Ruoshui pushed the door open, and Tingfu immediately led someone in.

The maidservant inside was also awakened, and hurriedly walked over, and when she saw that the noble concubine was coming, she knelt in shock.

Nan Yan said lightly, "Stay and don't move."

After speaking, he raised his head and walked in.

There was a noise in the room, the sound of someone walking with their shoes on, obviously awakened by the noise outside. When Nan Yan walked over, the door of the room just opened, and a thin and thin figure, with only a messy coat, and his hair asleep, stood inside, looking at Nan Yan in panic.

"Manny...? You, why are you here?"

Ruo Shui immediately said, "Bold, don't you see the imperial concubine and empress do not bow and salute?!"

The man was startled, and hurried to his knees: "Concubine pays homage to the concubine!"

The room was dark, and I couldn’t even see the person’s appearance. However, when Nan Yan slowly walked forward, Tingfu also hurried forward with the lantern, and the faint light shone on the pale person. Her face also reflected the panic on her face clearly.

Nan Yan lowered her head, looked at her thin figure, then turned her head, looked at the bed on the side, even the tent was put down diagonally, apparently already asleep, and awakened by herself.

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Ling nobleman, are you scared."

It was no one else who was kneeling on the ground. It was the noble man Ling Shansi who lived alone in Jingyixuan after Yao Ying left.

She knelt on the ground, lowered her head, with an expression of bewilderment and panic, and said softly: "The concubine doesn't know that the empress is coming, and she has missed a long way to welcome her, please forgive her.

Nan Yan smiled and said, "What kind of crime is this?"

"..."

"It was my palace who came suddenly and disturbed your lucid dreams."

Although she said that, there was no trace of guilt on her face. Instead, she walked to the table and sat down with a relaxed expression, as if this place was her Yonghe Palace.

Ruo Shui immediately walked in and lit several candlesticks in the room.

Immediately, Jing Yixuan became brightly lit.

The light illuminates every corner of this simple and plain room, and naturally, it also illuminates the table beside Nan Yan.

On the table, there are some pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Obviously it was used, but the paper was white and there was nothing.

Nan Yan smiled and said, "It seems that Ling Gui is also a literate and hyphenated person. Usually, he likes to chant poems and paint?"

"Do not,"

Ling Shansi trembled lightly and said immediately: "Concubine, concubine only recognizes a few words, and I have nothing to do, just write something."

"Write something? What is it about?"

"..."

"My palace sees that you have the four treasures of the study here, but you don't have your calligraphy."

"Also, there is nothing to write about."

"Nothing to write? Isn't it?"

Nan Yan looked at her with a smile and said, reaching out into her sleeves, taking out a folded piece of paper, unfolding it slowly, and saying, "Isn't you writing this sincere eulogy? "

Ling Shansi, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a little stiff.

She lowered her head, her dangled hair covered the expression on her face, cold sweat swelled out of her face where no one could see it, and even the light could not be illuminated.

Nanyan Road: "Acknowledge it and see if it was written by you."

Ruoshui immediately took the piece of paper and sent it to her.

Ling Shansi's head was buried a little lower, but the piece of paper and the words on the paper were still placed in front of her abruptly, Nan Yan said, "Did you write it?"

Ling Shansi said softly: "...Yes."

Nan Yan nodded and said, "So, Li Yan did not lie to the palace. This mourning essay is a mourning essay you wrote for the imperial concubine during the funeral. The content is exactly the same, because the two of you thought together, and you and her each wrote a copy."

"..."

"I just don't know why, you two took each other's wrong, yours was put on her, and hers was put on your side. Really?"

"……Yes."

"So, the eulogy that the emperor picked up in Jiyan Hall that day, although it was written by Libi, was'lost' by you, right?"

"……Yes."

"So that's it,"

Nan Yan winked at Ruoshui. Ruoshui offered the eulogy to her again. She took the eulogy, read it again, and said with a smile: "A sincere eulogy. , In exchange for the emperor’s attention and favor, it’s good luck. It’s a pity that Yao Ying is favored, and Lili is the one who can be canonized. Isn’t there any sadness in your heart?"

Ling Shansi knelt on the ground, and his heart became a mess.

Although these questions asked by the imperial concubine seemed to be ordinary questions and did not have any directivity, the cold sweat on her forehead had dripped drop by drop.

The whole person is as nervous as a bow drawn to the extreme.

She whispered softly: "It is a blessing to be favored by the emperor, that is the blessing of sister Libi, concubine-concubine can only sigh without this blessing."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's a good one to sigh with excitement."

"..."

"But what are you sighing about?"

"..."

"Sigh, can you finally get rid of suspicion?"

Ling Shansi trembled again.

She lowered her head and said softly: "Concubine, concubine doesn't understand what the empress means."

"Oh? You don't understand?"

"……Yes."

"The palace, let you understand more."

After speaking, Nan Yan raised his head and said to Tingfu who was standing at the door: "Bring people in."

Listening to Fu Ling's orders, he waved to the outside, and several little eunuchs immediately walked in with a person. Ling Shansi subconsciously turned his head and took a look, suddenly his face changed drastically.
