Chapter 1667 Is there any progress?

The atmosphere in the study became increasingly oppressive, making it difficult for one's heart to beat.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I can lead the way!"

Hearing this, Nan Yan's eyes lit up.

Zhu Feng's face didn't show any expression as he just looked at Li Lai calmly. Although his eyes were no longer as sharp as before to penetrate a person's body and soul, being stared at by him still gave people a chilling feeling.

Li Lai stood in the middle of the study, firm and motionless.

The atmosphere seemed a little depressing again.

But, it seemed a little different from the dullness before.

Nan Yan stood by, looked at Li Lai, then looked at Zhu Feng. After a long while, she said softly: "Your Majesty, since Li Lai has already--"

Before she could finish her words, Zhu Feng raised his hand to stop her from continuing.

Although the imperial concubine was favored, as soon as the emperor raised his hand, her voice seemed to be cut off out of thin air. She immediately shut her mouth and lowered her head.

Li Lai's palms were covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, the Emperor's cold voice was heard: "You, go down."

“…”

Li Lai's breathing was still a little disordered. He looked up at the emperor in panic, but the emperor no longer paid any attention to him. He picked up a document on the table and started reading it.

Li Lai said cautiously, "I'll take my leave."

After saying this, he bowed to the emperor and the imperial concubine, then slowly left the study.

As soon as he stepped out, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt his body become a little stiff. He looked back and saw that the study was still quiet. That kind of calmness was like an invisible hand, controlling every part of his body.

He was silent for a moment, then turned and left with a complicated expression.

The two people in the study listened to the footsteps slowly leaving. Nan Yan hurried to his side and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, is this all right?"

Zhu Feng looked up at her.

Although she can usually keep her composure, even when playing a duet with me, once things make progress, this girl starts to show her joy.

He said, "You!"

Fortunately, it's not a problem.

Nan Yan still anxiously grabbed his arm and shook it: "Your Majesty, is this really okay?"

Zhu Feng said, "Okay."

"But the emperor didn't say anything to him just now."

"That's exactly what I can't say to him."

“…”

"Keep him guessing, make him panic."

“…”

“Whatever we do next will be much easier.”

Nan Yan tilted her head and looked at him: "It turns out that the emperor is also very cunning."

Zhu Feng gritted his teeth and reached out to twist her face: "How could you talk about the emperor like that?"

Nan Yan laughed because of his pinching.

He reached out and touched his face, then asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"Next—"

Zhu Feng was about to say something when suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door.

After a very low voice, Xiao Shunzi walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wang wishes to see you."

Wang Baizhi?

Zhu Feng and Nan Yan looked at each other.

Since arriving at Shazhou Wei, Wang Baizhi was sent to treat Ye Zheng's injuries. Although it was only for a few days, he almost stayed by Ye Zheng's side and was rarely seen at other times.

There has been no progress.

He came here suddenly today. Is there any progress on Ye Zheng's side?

Zhu Feng immediately said, "Let him in."
