Chapter 1988 You, Don’t Ask

Zhu Feng's expression slightly condensed.

He said in a deep voice: "What nonsense!"

Nan Yan was stunned by his scolding. She blinked her big eyes and looked at him, saying softly, "What's wrong? Why is the emperor still angry?"

“…”

"My concubine, it was just a joke."

Zhu Feng said solemnly, "Don't tell jokes in front of me."

Nan Yan looked at him cautiously, still a little confused. Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then looked up at her and said, "Xue Yun's matter needs to be handled carefully. After all, the Xue family is behind her."

“…”

"Behind the Xue family is White Dragon City."

Nan Yan thought for a moment and said softly, "I know the significance of White Dragon City to His Majesty."

Zhu Feng said: "So when dealing with them, we must be extremely cautious."

“…”

"Especially Xue Yun. And she——"

Having said this, he paused slightly. Nan Yan looked up at him. Zhu Feng said, "She already has a lover. Be careful with what you say."

“……!”

Nan Yan widened her eyes slightly.

Sweetheart?

Does Xue Yun have a lover?

She subconsciously asked, "Male or female?"

She regretted it the moment she said it, especially when Zhu Feng glared at her again.

Nan Yan stuck out her tongue and looked around carefully. Fortunately, Aunt Tongyun and the others were waiting outside, and only Ran Xiaoyu was in the room. She stood far away and only came over when she needed to serve the dishes.

Besides, she also knew about Xue Yun's affairs.

Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Zhu Feng again, still puzzled, "How is it possible that she has a lover?"

Zhu Feng said, "She said this herself, so don't make wild guesses."

“…”

"After returning to the capital, especially in the palace, you must be more careful."

“…”

"It's a good thing no one knows her true identity. If anyone knew, it would be a disaster. I don't want to cause any trouble because of her."

Nan Yan nodded: "I understand."

But I still feel very confused in my heart.

Does Xue Yun have a lover?

Why did this sound strange? Logically, her mother had forced her daughter to dress as a man for decades in order to protect her family, resorting to all means, even resorting to unscrupulous means. If she revealed even the slightest flaw, she would lose everything.

That's why Mrs. Xue looked at her so closely.

In this situation, who else could Xue Yun come into contact with and make her fall in love with him?

Is her sweetheart a man or a woman?

What kind of person would it be?

Nan Yan just couldn't figure it out, and Zhu Feng looked at her struggling to think and said lightly: "Don't think about it anymore. She has a lover, it's her business, it has nothing to do with you."

“…”

"It has nothing to do with any of us."

“…”

Nan Yan was silent for a moment before she looked at Zhu Feng and asked carefully, "I understand. But how did the Emperor know about this?"

“…”

"Did Xue Yun tell the emperor?"

“…”

"She, why would she tell this to the emperor?"

Zhu Feng's heart moved slightly.

His expression remained unchanged. He only coughed lightly and said calmly, "Nothing. It was just that when we were at the Lotus Heart Hall, she suddenly had to meet someone. I was worried that she might leak the news and reveal my whereabouts, so I asked her about it. She mentioned this, and I only found out about it then."

“…”

"But I didn't ask much."

Having said this, he looked at Nan Yan and said solemnly:

"You, don't ask either."
