A thought of this... Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun, who was full of unease before him, and his heart softened.
"Come here," Yu Jingchen said. Nan Zhiyun didn't know what Yu Jingchen was going to do, but judging by his tone, he didn't seem angry. Nan Zhiyun had expected Yu Jingchen to erupt in fury again today.
Nan Zhiyun slowly walked up to Yu Jingchen, not daring to look at him.
"Why don't you dare to look up? Frightened?" Yu Jingchen softened his tone.
"Your concubine fears Your Majesty will not believe me..." Nan Zhiyun replied.
"Then what if I truly don't believe you?" Yu Jingchen asked.
"..." Nan Zhiyun fell silent, because if Yu Jingchen didn't believe her, no one else could help. The essence of this matter was simply whose side Yu Jingchen leaned towards.
Once the situation Yu Jingchen had just described occurred, Nan Zhiyun believed her fate would be more tragic than ever before.
"Your Majesty, it wasn't your concubine. Your concubine never did it..." Nan Zhiyun whispered in defense.
"Heh." Seeing her like this, Yu Jingchen was suddenly amused. Because Nan Zhiyun wasn't looking at him, she couldn't be sure if she had misheard or if it was a cold laugh.
"You say it wasn't you, so it wasn't you?" Yu Jingchen insisted on asking.
"Take this thing and burn it." Yu Jingchen said this to Xing. The thing to be burned was undoubtedly the so-called voodoo doll.
"In your current state, what will you do if something like this happens again in the future?" Yu Jingchen stood up from his seat.
"Do you know who arranged this time?" Yu Jingchen walked up to Nan Zhiyun.
Nan Zhiyun shook her head.
"I know, and it's not that I can't tell you, but even if I did, what could you do?" Yu Jingchen asked.
Nan Zhiyun couldn't help but look up at Yu Jingchen.
"Your Majesty... knows who it is?" Nan Zhiyun asked cautiously.
"Otherwise, why would you think this matter is over?" Yu Jingchen retorted.
"Then... Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun was a little nervous. She had been doted on since childhood, pampered and raised in a honey pot, the only pampered daughter of the Nan family, and personally looked after by the Empress Dowager.
What's more, General Nan and the Empress Dowager had never intended for Nan Zhiyun to enter the palace. They thought that with her status, and their protection, Nan Zhiyun could live a simple life. Therefore, Nan Zhiyun had rarely encountered such insidious methods. Now... it had to be said, Nan Zhiyun was truly not suited for life in this harem.
"Do you want to know?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
"If your concubine wants to, will Your Majesty tell your concubine?" Nan Zhiyun asked.
"No," Yu Jingchen answered decisively.
Nan Zhiyun "...".
"Because even if you knew, what could you do? Nan Zhiyun, I don't have that much energy, so it won't be like today every time. Even if it's fine today, how will you resolve it the next time you encounter a similar situation? Do you have to rely on others' trust every time?" Yu Jingchen asked again.
Nan Zhiyun fell silent.
"So I won't tell you directly. You can investigate it yourself. I also allow you to investigate. If you can find out, if you can find the evidence, you can deal with it however you want, and I will support you. If you can't, then you'll have to swallow the loss this time. I will not interfere in any way." Yu Jingchen said very seriously.
