The woman didn't move, she just looked at him fixedly, her eyes were unharmed.

The temperament on his body was completely different from when Xue Lin was there just now, and all the panic and confusion disappeared, leaving only the whole body calm.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ye Jingyuan took the initiative to say, "Your eyes are too different."

When she was first brought in, Ye Jingyuan only vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think about it.But when she was pushed over and their eyes collided, he immediately saw something strange.

Huaping is a woman with backbone. Faced with such a situation, no matter how determined her eyes are, it is impossible for her to be unmoved when she sees a familiar person.

But the person in front of him is different.

The way she looked at herself was strange and calm, and even comforted him.

Ye Jingyuan was very curious.

He frowned slightly, "Who are you?"

Nan Zhen didn't speak, but took out a small jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to him.

The two of them had their backs to the door, and people outside could not see their movements, but Ye Jingyuan still took a vigilant look at the small closed window on the iron door, and after confirming that no one was watching, he lowered his eyes and took the jade pendant.

The hand full of wounds gently caressed the jade pendant, his fingertips traced the fine and delicate lines on it, and hope gradually rose in his eyes.

He raised his head, looked at Nan Zhen in disbelief, and tried to keep his voice steady, "Are you from His Majesty?"

No wonder Ye Jingyuan was so moved. He had been under house arrest here for half a year. Being tortured was a trivial matter, but losing control of Pengcheng was a major event.

The sun is not seen here, he doesn't know what's going on outside, and he can't get in touch with the capital.

He was worried that His Majesty still didn't understand the situation in Pengcheng so far, so sending someone over rashly was just sending the target in vain.

Day after day of torture had almost made Ye Jingyuan despair, and Nan Zhen's appearance was a huge surprise to him.

"As you can see." Nan Zhen nodded, much calmer than him.

Ye Jingyuan asked again, "Then Your Majesty now..."

"Your Majesty is also in Pengcheng."

Nan Zhen glanced at the lower right corner. She knew that someone was coming outside, so she took half a step closer to Ye Jingyuan and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty discovered the abnormality of the Dudu's Mansion, and followed the vine to find the address of the west of the city. That's why I followed the plan and came here." here."

"There's not much time, so I'll get straight to the point." Nan Zhen said, "Who is posing as you? What happened in Pengcheng?"

Ye Jingyuan returned the jade pendant to her, and sighed, "His name is Xue Lin, he was originally a person by my side, and he was regarded as a capable subordinate, in charge of many affairs of the Dudu Mansion.

About half a year ago, I suddenly discovered that something was wrong with him. When I was investigating secretly, he joined forces with the rest of the thieves in Pengcheng to control the Dudu Mansion. "

Because of Ye Jingyuan's trust, Xue Lin was able to get in touch with many secrets and had many opportunities to play tricks. By the time Ye Jingyuan found out, it was too late.

Thinking of this, he was a little annoyed and blamed himself, "It's also because I don't know people well. He has been with me for many years, and I didn't realize it at all before."

After Nan Zhen finished listening, she was silent, and then asked, "Do you know who he is?"

"It looks like someone from Prince Chen, but I can't confirm it. I can only confirm that he has connections with people in the capital. Even if he is not King Chen, his status is not low."

Ye Jingyuan suddenly thought of another thing, and said, "By the way, there is a place called Haitang County between Beijing and Pengcheng. There seems to be something tricky there. It was precisely because I found some clues that Xue Lin rushed to do it. Put me under house arrest."

Nan Zhen narrowed her eyes, "It's a string..."

"What do you mean?"

She looked at Ye Jingyuan full of doubts, and explained, "Before our Majesty and I went to Pengcheng, we passed through Haitang County, where there is an iron mine hidden."

"what?!"

Ye Jingyuan almost couldn't control his voice, his eyes rounded, "He has such courage."

Nan Zhen: "It's not that he is bold, but that the people behind him are confident. But don't worry, the iron mine has been brought under control. Haitang County now has Mr. Dong Zeyou in charge, so nothing will go wrong for the time being."

Ye Jingyuan nodded, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock just now, he heard the woman in front of him ask again, "Who are there trustworthy people in Pengcheng now?"

"It's hard to say."

Ye Jingyuan took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "Since Xue Lin pretended to be me and gave orders, some of my former subordinates may have been eliminated or replaced by him. I have been away from the Dudu Mansion for half a year, and I really don't know what is going on outside. What kind of changes."

They have been dormant for many years, coming aggressively, once they gain power, how can they still stay loyal to his subordinates?
He shook his head and sighed, very embarrassed.

Nan Zhen didn't speak for a while, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

When she was silent, Ye Jingyuan said suddenly, "No, there is one person who can try."

"Who?"

"Zhou Luqi, General Zhou."

Seeing Nan Zhen's slightly hesitant eyes, he said a few more words, "General Zhou has the military power in his hands, and my relationship with him has always been relatively close when I was in office. Xue Lin will not move him in a short time, nor can he move him." But he was under General Wei's command before, and the Wei family..."

He didn't finish speaking, but Nan Zhen already understood what he meant.

When the accident happened in Pengcheng, the Wei family's attitude was not clear. It's hard to say whether he will be obedient and obedient if he hasn't stood in line yet.

But now that the Wei family has clearly joined His Majesty's camp, this worry can be easily resolved.

"We will solve this matter, you can rest assured."

Nan Zhen comforted him a little, and saw some blood oozing from the clothes on his arm, and said, "This time I acted in a hurry, and there is no ointment on my body, can Ye Dudu's body hold on?"

"no problem."

Ye Jingyuan answered very simply, "It's just some skin trauma. I'm not a weak scholar, so don't worry, girl. And I'm still useful to them, they won't let me die so soon.

Now that I know that His Majesty is also in Pengcheng, I have the bottom line in my heart, I only hope that His Majesty will be very careful in his actions. "

Nan Zhen replied, "What do they want to get from you when they torture you?"

"Information about hidden piles."

With such an important place in Pengcheng, how could Xiao Rongxi only leave people on the bright side?

These hidden piles are scattered in every corner of Pengcheng, and there are people of various identities, just to prevent accidents.

They are also the last line of defense to protect Pengcheng, and they will not be exposed and used easily.

And these people only contacted Ye Jingyuan directly, not through the hands of others, so Xue Lin didn't know the other person's name, where he lived, and his status.

After Xue Lin actually took control of Pengcheng, he blocked the news and secretly arrested people, but so far, there has been no progress.
