Chapter 3426 Liar

At this time, Zhu Feng said calmly: "When I gave her the acupuncture just now, she was already awake."

"What?"

Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise and turned to look at Xin Ping: "Really?"

Xinping pursed her lips, which meant she agreed.

Zhu Feng looked at Xin Ping and said coldly, "You're already awake, but you refuse to get up. Do you not want to see your mother, or do you not want to see me?"

Nan Yan's heart sank. If she had just had a slightly uneasy premonition, then after hearing what Zhu Feng said and looking at her daughter's expression, she knew that her premonition might have really become a reality - the conflict between father and daughter had once again become acute.

Could it be because of the starving people looting food?

Sure enough, the next moment, Xinping looked at Zhu Feng with red eyes and said with a sob, "I don't want to see a liar!"

"Xin Ping!"

Nan Yan was both angry and afraid when she heard this. She didn't care that her daughter had just woken up from a coma and her body might not have recovered yet. She reached out and hit her hard: "You, have you lost your mind?"

After saying that, he turned back to Zhu Feng and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this girl must have run into some evil spirit on the mountain, that's why she's talking nonsense like this. Your Majesty, please don't blame her."

Zhu Feng ignored her and stared at his daughter.

"You said I was a liar."

"right!"

Xinping's eyes became redder and redder, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably: "Father is a liar, Father is a liar!"

"you--"

This time, Nan Yan wanted to knock her out again.

However, compared to the furious father who had confronted his daughter before, Zhu Feng seemed very calm at this moment. Although his face was gloomy and one could feel the oppressive murderous aura emanating from his body, he did not get furious.

Only after a long while did he slowly say, "So, you did hear the news from Longkou Valley."

This time, Xinping seemed to be truly devastated. He had been crying silently before, but now he burst into tears: "Father, you admit it, you killed people. You didn't care that those people were starving, you still killed them all!"

“…!?”

Nan Yan only felt a buzzing in her head.

For a moment, she was completely lost in thought. Her mind was filled with a void, like a hole shattered by a lightning strike. She turned around and stared at Zhu Feng in a daze.

Longkou Valley?

Zhu Feng killed everyone in Longkou Valley?

Are they the hungry people who robbed the imperial court of its grain?

She suddenly felt a chill piercing straight into her heart from her heart, from the soles of her feet, and even from all directions. She couldn't help but shiver.

No wonder.

No wonder Fan Yingyi solved the problem but didn't get back any food.

There is also no news about how the starving people were dealt with.

They were all killed?!

Nan Yan spoke subconsciously, but her voice was trembling: "Your Majesty...?"

Zhu Feng glanced at her and said nothing. Instead, he lowered his head to look at his daughter. His expression remained calm, without a trace of fluctuation. Only in those dark, seemingly bottomless eyes did some subtle ups and downs appear. He said in a deep voice, "Xinping, this world is too big, and countless things happen every day. As a member of the royal family, and even more so, the emperor, I can't just focus on the gains and losses of one person or one thing. I must be persistent."

This was the first time he opened his heart to his daughter so solemnly.

But what he said was a bit confusing.

Xinping is still young, and although he understands some principles, he is still completely confused by the ambiguous words in his play, and even thinks that he is just using these words to perfunctorily let her know.

The tears flowed even more violently.

She choked up and said, "The world is so big, and so many things happen every day, but so what? Is it because of this that my father is going to kill those poor people?"

Zhu Feng's eyes grew a little cold.

He slowly stood up, looked at Xinping for a while, then turned around and left without saying a word.

"emperor……"

Nan Yan wanted to say something, but at this moment, she couldn't utter anything. Both father and daughter were furious. Although this time the problem of the hungry people in Longkou Valley robbing food was solved, Zhu Feng didn't get furious like before and directly locked Xinping up, but Xinping's words must have hurt him.

This stubborn girl also looked hurt, and simply lay on the quilt and burst into tears.

Nan Yan was caught in a dilemma, but in the end she decided to stay.

When her daughter had cried enough, she raised her calm face, looked at the messy tear marks on it, took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her, saying, "Why are you so ignorant? Your father is worried about the affairs of the world every day, why do you still say these words to hurt his heart?"

Xinping sobbed, "Could it be that Mother also thinks I'm wrong?"

“…”

"Do you think, Mother, that even if Father killed his own people, it would still be right?"

“…”

Hearing her asking such a blunt question, Nan Yan was speechless for a moment.

She certainly didn't think it was right.

As for clashing with Zhu Feng over these matters, he had been there much longer than Xinping, and had suffered far more. Finally, over the years, he had watched Zhu Feng gradually soften, no longer the fierce god who had once stormed into Jinling City, leaving rivers of blood flowing. Yet, he didn't know why he would resort to such drastic measures in this matter.

If it were me back then, I would probably make a bigger fuss than Xinping.

But she didn't make a fuss.

After all, the two of them had been together for so many years, and she figured out a truth from those words -

He has a reason.

Although she didn't understand what Zhu Feng said, it was enough for her to know this.

The only problem at hand is his daughter. Although Xinping is not very old, she is even more stubborn than he was back then. Judging from her attitude, she has no intention of bowing to her father.

Nan Yan thought for a while and said earnestly, "Xin Ping, your father's words have their reasons. He is the emperor and has to take care of thousands of things happening in the world every day. He—"

Before she could finish her words, Xinping glared at her with red eyes.

"Does this mean we can kill those innocent starving people?"

“…”

Nan Yan was speechless for a moment.

She hesitated and wanted to say something, but her heart was so agitated that she covered her ears and shouted, "I won't listen! I won't listen to you!"

As she made a fuss, she began to pant and felt a little weak. After all, she had just woken up from a coma. Nan Yan was worried that if she continued to make a fuss like this, she would suffer from sequelae, so she had to give up.

I thought to myself that I must find some time to have a good talk with her to resolve this conflict between father and daughter.
