Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

Chapter 138: Your Majesty, I’m sorry, I didn’t see anything!

Smothered by the thick smoke, Nan Yingzhi's vision became blurred, as if she was nearsighted.

Hearing Yun Ji calling her in a low voice, she blinked hard a few times and emerged from the smoke.

"Qingchuan'er," Nan Yingzhi realized that Yun Ting was hiding far away and couldn't see what they were doing on the other side of the smoke at all. She gently held his hand as if to comfort him, "I'm sorry to have worried you, but other than a little blurry vision, I'm fine."

She almost thought she was going to lose her. Yun Ji grabbed her hand tightly and said quickly: "How can you do such a dangerous thing yourself!"

"In an emergency, we must take the necessary measures," Nan Yingzhi, who was deeply influenced by the idea of ​​standing up and protecting the people at critical moments, blurted out, "There are innocent people nearby."

"You are a noble prince," Yun Ji glanced at the people who were still fleeing, then looked at her, and said calmly: "Their lives are worthless, and their death is not a pity."

Knowing that the ancients valued hierarchy and did not have the awareness of "equality of all beings", Nan Yingzhi did not argue much, but just struggled: "They are all human lives."

Yun Ji saw her bravely wrapping the explosives and felt distressed.

After taking a close look at Nan Yingzhi and making sure that she was really fine, he turned around and looked at Ling Feng Ling Yu, who had just arrived and was following Nan Yingzhi and inhaling the smoke.

His red lips parted slightly, his eyes were much colder than usual: "I have instructed you to take good care of Miss Nan. Now that she is injured, what crime should you be punished for?"

Fully sensing the raging anger behind his cold words, Ling Feng Ling Yu quickly knelt down and said, "I have failed to do my job well, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

“Oh,” seeing one of them standing and the other two kneeling, Nan Yingzhi patted Yun Ji’s hand and came out to smooth things over, “They wanted to come over too, but they didn’t expect that this explosive didn’t follow the rules.

"Even though they were isolated from the air, the fire still burned to the end of the fuse, and the explosives still exploded so quickly."

"But," Yun Ji was not used to acting like a spoiled child during a lecture, so his tone was still stiff, "They failed to protect you, so this is a punishment."

"I'm standing right in front of you, aren't I?" Worried that Yun Ji might get angry and feel unwell, Nan Yingzhi hurriedly changed the subject, "Don't be angry, I'll show you something good."

Knowing that she was trying to ease the atmosphere and didn't want to embarrass her, Yun Ji slowly withdrew his gaze from Ling Feng Ling Yu's back: "What is it?"

"Here," Nan Yingzhi took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Yun Ji as if showing him a treasure. "I took out the official document from his sleeve while he was taking out the explosives. I guess it's proof that Zhao Yi is collaborating with the enemy."

Because Nan Yingzhi looked like she was asking for praise, Yun Ji barely suppressed his anger of blaming Ling Feng and Ling Yu, opened the envelope, and read it through at a glance.

"It is important evidence, but it is not more valuable than your life," Yun Ji said seriously, "Nan Yingzhi, you told me to cherish my life. In my opinion, it is not worth risking your life for."

Inexplicably feeling that he was being controlled by his wife, Nan Yingzhi held up three fingers and put them together: "I promise, this won't happen again."

In front of Ling Feng and Ling Yu, Yun Ji couldn't soften his words. He spoke stiffly as stone: "You said it, you must do it."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely do what I say." Looking at Ling Feng Ling Yu who was still kneeling on the ground, Nan Yingzhi shook his hand slightly, "In this matter, I was wrong, and Ling Feng Ling Yu was brave enough to admit his mistakes and was willing to accept the punishment.

"I think that making them kneel on such a dirty ground for such a long time should be considered as a punishment. Qingchuan, what do you think?"

"You," Yun Ji was choked by her bland "punishment", feeling somewhat helpless, "You have such a soft heart."

"Let's be merciful," Nan Yingzhi smiled at him gently, "Can they get up now?"

"For your sake, I can, but," Yun Ji paused for a few seconds to put them under psychological pressure, letting them know that they must not put Nan Yingzhi in danger at any time. He then changed the subject, "Ling Feng Ling Yu, you know there won't be a next time."

Ignoring his threat, Nan Yingzhi selectively relayed: "Stop kneeling, the prince wants you to stand up."

After Yun Ting gave Gao Shu the order, he told him to quickly ask Yang Ling to send the imperial guards to block the city gates. Suddenly, he noticed the Imperial Master who was stepped on by Dugu Yue.

"Who are you?" He was already in a bad mood after losing Yun Yan, and with Dugu Yue as a target, he immediately took out his anger on her, "How dare you step on my Dali State Master?"

Dugu Yue was surprised to find out the true identity of the Imperial Master. She raised her foot and said, "Are you that Imperial Master?"

The numbing feeling on his back suddenly disappeared, and the Imperial Master felt inexplicably uncomfortable all over.

Yun Ting was not very good at reading people's expressions, so he moved closer to him, as if to ask for credit: "Master, are you okay?"

He slowly got up and said word by word: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am very fine."

Seeing that the Imperial Master's clothes were stained with dust but he had no external injuries, Yun Ting nodded repeatedly: "It's good that he's not hurt."

Thinking he had appeased the Imperial Master, Yun Ting finally remembered that he should have a Consort in Pink by his side.

Looking up, Yun Ting didn't see Yun Ji, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Lian Zhaoyi, you won’t be buried in the smoke and unable to come out, right?

"Gao Shu," Gao Shu, who was coordinating people everywhere, hooked his hand, and Yun Ting ordered him, "Send someone inside to find Lian Zhaoyi."

With amazing hearing, Lingyu quickly raised her head and reported to Nan Yingzhi and Yunji: "My Lord, Miss Nan, His Majesty is sending someone to look for us...

"Ah, my lord, Miss Nan, I'm sorry, I didn't see anything!"
