Chapter 1875: "Cannot" becomes "Can"

At this moment, she remembered that Zhu Feng had not finished speaking before Wu Yingqiu came.

"By the way, what did the emperor want to say to me just now?"

"Um……"

Zhu Feng thought for a moment before saying, "Oh, I was just about to tell you about the reward system for Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian."

When this was mentioned, Nan Yan blinked.

From Zhu Feng's expression, she realized that this matter was not that simple.

As expected, Zhu Feng said, "They both actually performed a great service for me this time."

“…”

"Not only did they truly find a crucial path for me, but they both disregarded their own comfort. Tong Sinian bravely cut off his arm, and Gu Yiyou risked his life to save those who had come before him."

“…”

"However, I cannot give them credit."

“…”

Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing by, was immediately startled and looked at him in confusion.

Since the emperor has already mentioned the achievements of those two people, why does he say that they cannot be commended?

Nan Yan was silent for a moment, but she said calmly, "The emperor naturally has his concerns."

Zhu Feng said, "If we're to talk about their merits, then there's no way to cover up their trespassing into the Hot Moon Crescent and delaying military operations. You know, this crime is far greater than the merits they've achieved this time. Since the two offset each other, I'm going to hold off on recognizing their merits for now."

Nan Yan said, "I understand."

Seeing her so calm, Zhu Feng sighed instead.

"Of course, you and I both know that their 'trespassing' was a plot."

Nan Yan looked up at him and said, "I can guess who plotted against them, but does the emperor have any concrete evidence?"

Zhu Feng said: "Neither."

“…”

"Only one sentence from Gu Yiyou."

Nan Yan was startled and turned to look at him: "Yiyou, he has woken up as expected."

Zhu Feng looked at her: "You, know too?"

Nan Yan said, "After I came back, I went to see him once. I found that the emperor had sent people to protect him. Even before I could go in, I had to ask the emperor for permission. I guessed that he must have woken up."

“…”

"It's just that the emperor asked him to continue pretending to be unconscious."

“…”

"Lest some people become wary."

Zhu Feng glanced at her, a smile flashing in his eyes.

Then he said, "You understand what I am thinking."

“…”

"I was worried that this matter would affect the baby in your womb, so I didn't tell you right away. It wouldn't be a big deal if you found out after this matter is over."

Nan Yan shook her head.

As long as Gu Yiyou is fine, she doesn't mind knowing it one day earlier or one day later.

He just asked, "What did he say?"

Zhu Feng said, "At that time, they went to explore the road, and later sent back a message saying that the road was frozen, but as the weather warmed up, the road would soon disappear. So they sent a message back to ask for permission to explore the road ahead. Do you remember what message I sent them?"

Nan Yan remembered that Zhu Feng had indeed written them a letter in front of her.

She said, "If I remember correctly, the emperor told them at the time that this trip was only for them to find the lair of the Sand Bandits and that they were not to enter without permission. He also said that they would be rewarded if they returned."

Zhu Feng said: "Not bad."

Nan Yan asked doubtfully, "What's the problem with this letter?"

Zhu Feng said, "Gu Yiyou told me that the letter has reached their hands. But the word 'can't' has become 'can'."
