Chapter 711: Chapter 711: Giving Orders Out of a Hole_1

On second thought, he was originally not in favor of Nan Feng opening an inn either. In war-torn regions, not only did business opportunities dwindle, but the people there were particularly complicated, making it easy for things to go wrong.

Eventually, Ye Ge also conceded: "For now, let’s go along with His Majesty’s arrangement."

Afterwards, Ye Ge whispered into Nan Feng’s ear: "I trust, Nan Feng, that the walls of the palace cannot confine you. Unless you have no other choice, don’t show off your strength, and hide your abilities."

Nan Feng nodded.

She understood Ye Ge’s meaning. If Nan Feng wanted to get out, she had a hundred ways to do so. But the prerequisite was that Ye Ge was indeed safe, otherwise, if there were any signs of danger, she could escape immediately.

"Ye Ge, be careful on the battlefield. When there’s nothing wrong, please come back and see me," she said.

"Alright, I will," he replied.

"..."

Seeing that the two of them had finally come to a conclusion, the wise Master Yan couldn’t help but smile with delight. He ordered Zhao Muzhi to lead the general to the camp.

Then Eunuch Wan returned once more. Since Siyuan was a part of the inner palace, it was naturally the eunuch’s duty to guide her there.

Nan Feng looked back at Ye Ge every three steps.

Ye Ge waited until Nan Feng was out of sight before finally turning to follow Zhao Muzhi.

They both felt as if their hearts were being torn apart.

Nan Feng didn’t utter a word on her way.

If it were not for her well-developed mental fortitude, she might have burst into tears much earlier.

Noticing that Nan Feng kept a stern face all the way, Eunuch Wan didn’t dare to disturb her and simply led her to Siyuan.

The Imperial Palace was massive. After leaving the main hall, they arrived at a long and deep alley at the back. Eunuch Wan explained, "This alleyway is where the female officials and servants pass through. You’ll also use it unless you’re carrying out a task."

Nan Feng didn’t bother to reply.

Regardless of whether Nan Feng paid him any mind, Wan the Eunuch continued, "The path from the main hall to Siyuan is incredibly long. Walking takes at least half an hour. There are normally carriages available, but it’s not customary for newcomers to use them. Once you familiarize yourself with the palace environment, you’ll naturally understand."

Not that I’m interested in understanding, Nan Feng thought.

Looking at Nan Feng, Eunuch Wan continued, "Lady Nan Feng, the emperor has specifically instructed that, once you reach Siyuan, you can carry out your duties according to your own ideas, and need not worry too much about etiquette. After all, Siyuan also needs the infusion of some fresh blood."

After a long, long walk, Nan Feng and Eunuch Wan had passed through the Shenwu Gate at the back and crossed another alley. They must have reached the royal backyard by now.

The backyard featured a large lake, with densely packed trees and vibrant flowers along the shore, creating a spectacular, aromatic scene.

Around the lake, numerous people played and flew kites. Quite a few of them must have been the emperor’s consorts, with extraordinary beauty and splendid clothing, and a host of palace servants around them, mostly eunuchs, with hardly any men.

Eunuch Wan spoke again to Nan Feng, "Lady Nan Feng, you must remember this place. This is the backyard, where the consorts can come to play without many constraints."

"Why should I remember all these things?" Nan Feng asked coldly.

"This area falls under the jurisdiction of Siyuan," Eunuch Wan smiled and continued, "which means it falls under your jurisdiction. You’ll need to routinely inspect it, checking which trees have withered, which flowers have bloomed, and even carefully inventory the artificial rocks in the garden. If any of them appear loose, they need to be replaced immediately."

Inwardly, Nan Feng thought, management my ass, none of it matters to me!
