Chapter 1233: Save Him

This person is more difficult to deal with than the previous Prince Jing Zhuo Yan, Prince Ning Zhuo Xuan, and even all the enemies they have faced.

Then Zhu Chengxuan and Li Bushang also walked out of the academy.

"Father."

Although regaining freedom was a happy thing, upon seeing Zhu Feng, Zhu Chengxuan immediately put away his joyful expression and stood in front of him cautiously.

Zhu Feng turned around and looked at him coldly.

"You did a great job!"

“…”

Zhu Chengxuan even shrank his neck.

Li Bushang, standing behind him, also lowered his head at this time and said in a deep voice, "It is my humble servant who failed to protect the King of Wei. I am guilty."

Nan Yan was afraid that he would really be punished. She wanted to say something, but she was hesitant and didn't dare to open her mouth.

Seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, Zhu Feng's face became even gloomier.

"Shut up, everyone."

Zhu Feng said coldly. He glanced at the trembling Zhu Chengxuan again, took a deep breath, and then said, "Let's go back first."

"yes."

Just at this moment, another carriage drove up, which was naturally prepared for Zhu Chengxuan. Li Bushang helped him get on the carriage.

Zhu Feng also helped Nan Yan into his carriage, but he did not get on immediately. Instead, he waved and called the Jinyiwei who had just gone out to carry out a mission.

Two Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward and bowed in greeting: "Your Majesty."

Zhu Feng asked in a low voice: "Where is that building?"

"In the east of the city."

"Whose building is it?"

"It has been abandoned for many years and the owner has not been found yet."

"Send someone to check immediately!"

"yes."

The two Jinyiwei responded hurriedly and turned to leave.

Zhu Feng's face darkened. He glanced back at the gate of Zhujian Academy before turning and getting on the carriage. Soon, the convoy set off for the imperial palace.

Nan Yan sat in the carriage, recalling everything that happened today, still feeling a little scared.

Zhu Feng sat by the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked at the noisy city outside, but his eyes were calm without even a ripple.

Nan Yan knew that he was still thinking about "that person".

He was still thinking about his failure.

Although it seemed like a complete victory in today's round, Zhu Feng knew very well that he was completely at a disadvantage when fighting with that person.

It's not that simple.

Nan Yan said softly, "Your Majesty, the matter has come to an end. Your Majesty, please take a rest."

Zhu Feng turned and looked at her.

He sighed softly, lowered a corner of the curtain, and then said, "How did that student wake up?"

"ah?"

Nan Yan was caught off guard and didn't expect him to ask this.

Zhu Feng said, "He woke up at the perfect time."

"……yes."

"What did you do?"

"No, it's nothing." Knowing she couldn't hide it any longer, she could only confess honestly: "I just brought some medicine for the King of Wei."

"What medicine?"

"Ganoderma lucidum."

"Ganoderma lucidum?"

Zhu Feng frowned, thinking back to what happened before, and said, "The water that student just drank—"

"That's right. I brought some Ganoderma lucidum powder and gave it to the King of Wei. He soaked it in water and gave it to the student to drink."

Nan Yan said, "After what happened yesterday, the King of Wei saw the student's condition and knew that the most important herb to treat this disease was Ganoderma lucidum, but ordinary people certainly couldn't afford it. The King of Wei asked me to find a chance to bring it to him. It just so happened that the Emperor brought me here today, so I took the opportunity to..."

I see.

No wonder Nan Yan was a step late when they went to the Heguang Room for tea. She took the opportunity to give the Ganoderma lucidum powder to Zhu Chengxuan.

Zhu Feng said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I'm afraid the emperor will be angry."

"Angry? What should I be angry about?"

“…”

Nan Yan glanced at him and said nothing.

Whenever the matter of King Wei studying medicine was mentioned, he became furious, yet he dared to say that there was nothing to be angry about.

Zhu Feng probably thought of it himself. He snorted coldly and turned his face away again.

Nan Yan slowly moved to his side.

"emperor."

"What?"

Nan Yan looked up at him cautiously and whispered, "Does the emperor really want the students of Zhujian Academy to perform a eulogy in the main hall?"

"What else?" Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "Do you think I'm kidding them?"

"But will they agree?"

"You have to agree, whether you agree or not."

Zhu Feng said coldly: "They have no right to choose in this matter."

"Then, what about Jian Ruocheng?"

Upon hearing the name, Zhu Feng's brows immediately furrowed, and a trace of anger flashed across his face.

This name has already brought him too much trouble and unhappiness, but what makes him most unhappy is that this name came out of Si Nanyan's mouth.

Of course Nan Yan knew it herself, but at this time, she couldn't help but say it.

"Doesn't the Emperor want to win him back?"

"Get him back."

Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "You know, as a general on the battlefield, sometimes you have to face a dangerous yet joyful thing, which is accepting the enemy's surrender."

"Um."

"At this time, it is a very difficult situation for the generals. If the enemy truly surrenders, they may be able to obtain the fruits of victory without bloodshed; but if the enemy is feigning surrender, then there is a high possibility that the fruit they pick will be poisonous!"

Nan Yan's heart trembled, and she looked at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty thinks that he is——"

"The look in his eyes doesn't show that he's the type to surrender."

“…”

"There's resentment and hatred in his eyes. It's impossible for a man like him to surrender. At least for now, I have no way to save him."

“…”

Nan Yan felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak.

Of course, she knew that she couldn't blame Jian Ruocheng at this time.

After all, he lost his home and all his family members, and experienced such a tragedy overnight. If it happened to anyone else, they would probably have gone crazy long ago.

At least he is still in front of me, which is already very difficult.

However, it will take a long time for him to know everything and trust Zhu Feng.

She was just afraid that on this road, he would go further and further away, so far that he would not be able to turn back.

Seeing her dazed look, Zhu Feng's face darkened again: "Are you still thinking about him? Is his matter so important that he needs a concubine like you to help him think about it?"

“…”

Nan Yan almost smiled bitterly.

The imperial concubine really couldn't take care of the affairs of the previous dynasty, but how could she, Si Nanyan, completely forget about Jian Ruocheng and the Jian family's affairs?

But for now, I can only coax him.

So she leaned into Zhu Feng's arms obediently and whispered, "Your Majesty, can the ceremony in two days calm everything down?"

“…”

After hearing this, Zhu Feng also fell silent.

After a long time, he sighed and gently stroked her hair: "I want to too."

“…”

"But, is it that easy?"

“…”

Nan Yan was speechless.
