Chapter 1335 A discovery!

"I'm telling you, not even the Empress can stop us from paying our respects to the Emperor. Besides, we've been here for so long, it's time for us to set off. If you dare to stop me again, I won't let you off easily!"

She said this and deliberately took a step forward.

The two guards could stop others, but they didn't dare to touch her.

After all, she was the one who was carrying the dragon seed. If anything went wrong, she couldn't afford to compensate them even if she chopped off their heads.

Seeing them retreat, Feng Qianyan smiled triumphantly.

After all, I am pregnant with the dragon seed, which makes me different from others.

So she walked forward with her head held high.

But just as she was about to approach the emperor's tent, a hand suddenly came across from the front and blocked her way.

Looking closely, it was Ye Zheng.

This man, who usually had a playful and seemingly irresponsible look, now stood in front of her with a serious face and said in a deep voice, "Empress Ning, please do not disturb me unless the Emperor summons you."

“…”

As soon as they saw him, Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning frowned.

Although Ye Zheng's identity was just that of a minister, which was not enough to be compared with the concubines, Ye Zheng was not an ordinary minister. He had been with Zhu Feng since he was a child and was a confidant closer to him than any other minister.

The fact that he can enter and leave the harem freely shows Zhu Feng's trust in him.

His appearance made things a little tricky for them.

When Feng Qianyan saw him, she couldn't help but think of how Ye Zheng had been delivering things to the cold palace to take care of Imperial Concubine Si Nanyan. He had been secretly protecting her and ruining many of her good deeds along the way, especially when he was flirting with Si Nanyan's personal maid. She felt a little angry.

Then he sneered and said, "Master Ye, are you really going to stop me from seeing the emperor?"

“…”

"It's fine if you're in charge of the affairs of the previous dynasty, but why are you also in charge of the emperor's harem?"

Ye Zheng's face was expressionless as he calmly said, "Of course, I dare not interfere in the affairs of the harem. However, the Empress Dowager issued an order yesterday that no one in the harem is allowed to disturb the Emperor's peace and quiet. Please, Concubine Ning, follow the Empress Dowager's instructions."

"Don't use the Queen to pressure me!"

When this was mentioned, Feng Qianyan became even more furious.

In the past, the imperial concubine was the only one favored in the harem, and they had no chance to rise. Now, they finally tripped the imperial concubine and they were pregnant. They should have been in favor, but for some reason, they were not as favored as when the imperial concubine just fell.

The emperor only showed her ordinary care and concern, and didn't show any more.

This feeling of being close yet distant made her more and more uneasy and angry, especially now that the queen was standing in front of them again.

She said coldly, "No matter how powerful the Empress is, she can't stop us from coming to see the Emperor, right?"

Ye Zheng remained silent and said nothing.

But he didn't retreat a single step.

Just as the two sides were confronting each other and the atmosphere was a bit tense, Zhu Feng suddenly lifted up his tent and walked out.

As soon as they saw him, they immediately knelt down.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Zhu Feng's face was gloomy, and when he spoke, his voice was so low that it was hard to breathe. He asked, "What are you going to do?"

Everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to speak easily.

Ye Zheng knelt at his feet, but carefully raised his head and glanced at Zhu Feng.

After a sleepless night, his eyes were completely bloodshot and red.

Because of his military career, his appearance and temperament were full of ferocity, and he had to deliberately make a calm expression so as not to scare people; but this time, he had no control over the ferocity in himself, and his red eyes made him even more terrifying.

Ye Zheng suddenly became nervous, fearing that he would encounter the same situation as before.

He whispered, "Why did the emperor get up?"

“…”

But Zhu Feng did not lose control.

Instead, he stood at the door of the tent with his hands behind his back, looking down at them.

After a while, he said coldly: "Concubine Hui, Concubine Ning."

Upon hearing this, Wu Wan and Feng Qianyan hurriedly raised their heads and looked at him cautiously, only to see Zhu Feng's face gloomy as he asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Wu Wan gave Feng Qianyan a look, and Feng Qianyan bravely said softly, "I came to pay my respects to the Emperor, but the Empress ordered me to stop and not allow me to see you."

Zhu Feng asked, "Why have you come to see me?"

“…”

Feng Qianyan frowned.

Her words just now were naturally intended to bring up the matter of the Queen, but Zhu Feng didn't ask. She was a little panicked, but she still said, "I want to ask the Emperor, the imperial carriage has been staying here for a long time, should the Emperor return to the capital?"

“…”

Everyone around fell silent.

You know, setting off to return to the capital means completely giving up on the imperial concubine and no longer looking for her.

Will Zhu Feng agree?

Zhu Feng let out a deep breath, then slowly said, "You are my concubines. Who is the master in the harem?"

His sudden question startled both Wu Wan and Feng Qianyan.

The two of them whispered: "Emperor, Queen——"

Zhu Feng's face darkened: "You don't even listen to the Queen's words, are you guys planning a rebellion?!"

When they heard the word "rebellion", they turned pale with fear and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I would never dare to do that."

However, Zhu Feng did not get angry about this.

He just glanced at them coldly. His eyes were clearly as hot as fire, but when he looked at them, they seemed to be icy.

In fact, it was he himself who had been suffering in the twinkling of ice and fire.

He said coldly to Feng Qianyan, "Concubine Ning, since you are pregnant, you should rest and recuperate in your tent."

What I mean is, go back and stay there.

Feng Qianyan knelt on the ground, trembling: "Yes, I obey your command."

Zhu Feng turned to look at Wu Wan and said coldly, "Concubine Hui should also set a good example for the harem. You should take the lead in carrying out the tasks assigned by the Queen, not in 'rebellion'."

Hearing the word "rebellion" again made Wu Wan break out in a cold sweat.

She said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I will never dare to do that again."

After saying that, the two men hurriedly grabbed the hands of the palace maids accompanying them, stumbled up and left.

Zhu Feng looked at them coldly, then turned around and prepared to return to the tent.

Ye Zheng said carefully, "Your Majesty."

“…”

Zhu Feng's steps faltered, but he didn't turn around. He just said coldly, "What are you afraid of?"

“…”

Ye Zheng didn't dare to speak.

Of course he didn't dare say it because he was afraid that he would go crazy and fall into bloodthirsty madness again.

Zhu Feng sneered.

At this moment, a young eunuch suddenly ran over. Seeing Zhu Feng standing at the door of the tent, he immediately knelt down and said breathlessly, "Your Majesty, I have found something!"
