Chapter 1737 He Yi he——

She looked at Zhu Feng with wide eyes and said softly, "Then Your Majesty, how will Your Majesty explain this to the people below you, and to the Prince of Wales?"

Zhu Feng said, "The people below, Yang Dai and the others, know very well who saved their lives. He is the one who takes care of all the military affairs. I don't need to explain this to anyone; they understand it themselves."

"What about the Duke?"

"Duke... I've already told him that the war is still undecided and the bandits in Hot Moon Bay haven't been eliminated yet, so it's not time to reward or punish them yet."

"But no matter what, this battle will eventually end."

“…”

"I also believe that the Emperor will wipe out the bandits in Hot Moon Bay. When that happens, how will the Emperor explain himself?"

Zhu Feng glanced at her and said calmly, "I have my own way."

“……?”

Nan Yan's heart was full of doubts.

In this matter, at least from her own conscience, the evidence is solid, and it is indeed Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian who have messed up their job. Even if the disobedience of the imperial edict can be offset by their merit in rescuing Yang Dai, there must be an explanation for this matter.

Zhu Feng, is there really a way?

At least, I can't think of it.

Zhu Feng looked at her frowning face, reached out and shook her, then said, "Alright, let me take care of this matter, you don't have to worry about it."

“…”

"Although your belly is not showing yet, don't forget that you are carrying my son."

Hearing this, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile.

But there was a hint of bitterness in that smile.

I originally thought this was a happy event, but now with so many things happening, it seems like this happy event has come at the wrong time.

She could only whisper, "I understand."

But, she added, "There is one thing I cannot help but worry about."

"oh?"

Zhu Feng seemed to remember something at this moment: "By the way, what do you want to do when you come to see me?"

"It's for this."

Nan Yan slowly stood up from his arms, reached into her arms and took out something, then handed it to him: "Your Majesty, please look."

It was a small bottle.

Zhu Feng took it, opened the bottle and looked inside, seeing some black medicine residue.

He was not very familiar with pharmacology and did not understand what this was. He looked up at Nan Yan with some confusion: "What is this?"

Nan Yan sat back in the chair beside him, leaned in front of him, and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you remember what I told you before? When I left the capital, Master He Yi gave me a few antidote pills, saying that if Ye Zheng got any worse, I should give them to him."

Zhu Feng said, "Didn't I tell you not to take random medicines?"

“…”

"Especially since Ye Zheng has been poisoned by 'Wild Goose Passes Without a Trace', he can't figure out the true toxicity, so he can't determine how to detoxify. If the medicine doesn't work, it's fine. But what if it actually triggers the toxicity? Wouldn't that harm him?"

"I understand what the emperor means, so I took one and gave it to Wang Baizhi first."

"What do you want him to do?"

"Let him test the efficacy of the detoxification pill to see if it can actually detoxify. The result is—"

"What was the result?"

"What the emperor has in his hands is the result."

"oh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng frowned and looked into the bottle again. Still confused, he asked, "What's going on?"

Nan Yan took a deep breath, her voice lowered, and said, "Wang Baizhi used this medicine to test the toxicity of 'Wild Goose Passing Without a Trace', and the result is - the toxicity can be completely offset."

"What?!"

When Zhu Feng heard this, he opened his eyes wide in surprise. He looked down at the bottle in his hand in disbelief. Although he still couldn't understand it, it didn't matter this time.

He said, "Can this medicine cure the toxicity of 'Wild Goose Passing Without a Trace'? Really?"

"Yes, the toxicity is completely offset."

"This—, this is great!"

Zhu Feng rarely smiled, and it was a truly happy smile.

Xue Ling was actually right. To him, Ye Zheng was indeed very important, even more important than some concubines in the harem.

Being able to save Ye Zheng is already a great joy.

But Nan Yan also looked at him with complicated eyes despite her joy.

Besides feeling happy, Zhu Feng suddenly had a flash of light in his mind.

His brows furrowed. “Hmm?”

He immediately looked up at Nan Yan and said, "You just said that the medicine you gave Wang Baizhi completely counteracts the toxicity of 'Wild Goose Passing Without a Trace'?"

"yes."

"Completely offset, without any difference?"

"No."

“…”

"It's as if this is the antidote to 'Wild Goose Passes Without a Trace'."

“…”

Zhu Feng fell silent.

At this time, Nan Yan stopped talking. The whole study was filled with a suffocating atmosphere. Nan Yan's breathing became heavier, as if she was afraid that her breathing would startle Zhu Feng.

After a long time, Zhu Feng finally spoke.

The voice was unexpectedly calm and low, saying, "What did He Yi say when he gave you the medicine?"

Nan Yan hurriedly said, "He said that those medicines were made when he was still refining pills, and they can be of some use. If Ye Zheng is not well, he will give him a chance."

“…”

The gloom in Zhu Feng's eyes grew even deeper.

Nan Yan knew that he had not allowed her to give Ye Zheng medicine before because he did not trust He Yi and thought that the medicine he gave could not detoxify.

That “can’t”, a kind of safety.

But now, He Yi's medicine can just cure the toxicity of 'Wild Goose Passes Without Trace'.

This is completely different.

Nan Yan looked at Zhu Feng with a complicated expression and a hint of confusion.

Over the years, she and He Yi have become acquaintances, whether it was when Zhu Feng led his troops into the imperial city and she met him; later, when he was an official in the court and she was a female official in the Shangbao Palace, they often came into contact; and when she was canonized as a noble concubine, she also had some dealings with him.

He Yi always has a smiling face. Although he is a monk, he later entered the secular world and became an official, and was contaminated by the mundane world. However, he does not have any vulgarity at all. Instead, he is a rare clear-headed person in this world.

But, looking back, she seemed to not understand him at all.

No one even knows where he came from, what his origins are, or why, as a monk, he is by Zhu Feng's side.

Why do we need to enter the world and become an official?

She thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, He Yi—"

“That’s enough!”

Zhu Feng suddenly interrupted her, his voice so low as if he had sunk into a deep place. Nan Yan felt her heartbeat sink just by hearing these two words.

She immediately shut her mouth.

Zhu Feng said: "Let's not talk about this matter for now."

"……yes."

After a moment's silence, he continued, "Don't mention it to anyone!"

"yes."
