Zheng Congyuan looked towards Ju Nanyi, now believing that he was the only one he could trust.
Ju Nanyi was feeling restless, but he couldn’t show it at this moment. He nodded slightly, just to test, thinking that if that young man was so easily deciphered, then there was truly nothing to fear.

Nanny Yun was slightly startled, appearing as though she missed something the Empress Dowager had just asked.
