Chapter 3465 What does the emperor plan to do?

Xiahou Jiu said in a deep voice: "What did you mean just now?"

Hu Meir opened her eyes wide and said with an innocent expression, "I don't understand what you mean, General. What do you mean?"

Xiahou Jiu stared at her with one eye, his face so gloomy that even the sunlight couldn't illuminate the room. He said, "Why are you speaking up for Chen Biri and the others? Explain, what? What's there to explain?"

Hu Meir laughed immediately after hearing this.

She said, "So this is what the general is angry about."

Xiahou Jiu said, "Humph."

Hu Meir said, "The general has wronged me in this matter. I just saw that the general wanted to clear my motherland of suspicion. I am deeply moved by this sentiment. That is why I said that."

Xiahou Jiu frowned: "What do you mean?"

Hu Meir said, "The general saw it too. Regardless of whether Chen Biri was truly seriously injured or pretending to be half dead, he was indeed shot by an arrow, and his assassin did indeed flee to my motherland. Regardless of the truth, what happened on the surface is inextricably linked to my motherland."

“…”

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see this. Otherwise, Chen Bi Ri wouldn't have refused to give in."

“…”

"He is like this, but the general keeps making excuses for my motherland. Doesn't this make it seem like the general has ulterior motives? If they say something serious, I'm afraid they will turn against the general."

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Jiu came back to his senses.

He was usually at odds with Chen Biri in the court. As long as the other party agreed, he would oppose it; as long as the other party opposed it, he would agree. This time, he knew that Chen Biri would take advantage of the situation, and he did not want the peace agreement he had originally agreed to be destroyed, so he instinctively opposed Chen Biri, but he really forgot this point.

His blind protection of Yan State did indeed give others an opportunity to use him as a weapon.

not to mention--

Chen Biri was really assassinated.

Thinking of this, his face darkened a bit, and he said, "Even so, if we really want Yan Country to give an explanation now, do you think this matter can be resolved so easily?"

Hu Meir chuckled softly and said, "The general is a man of great stature. A small matter like this would be a piece of cake for him."

“…”

"I am now solely devoted to serving Your Majesty. I was only moved by the General's vindication for my motherland, so I spoke rashly. As for other important matters, they have nothing to do with me."

Xiahou Jiu looked at her gloomily for a while before saying, "You'd better do this."

Hu Meir smiled, looked up at the sky, and said, "If the general is alright, I will go back. If His Majesty doesn't see me when he wakes up, he might get angry again."

After saying that, he bowed to Xiahou Jiu and turned away.

Watching her slender figure gradually walk away, Xiahou Jiu suddenly asked, "Who did that?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Meir stopped and looked back at him, a bewildered expression on her face: "What did the general say?"

Xiahou Jiu asked, "Who sent the assassin to kill Chen Biri?"

Hu Mei'er was stunned for a moment, then immediately laughed again, saying, "General, that's strange. I live in the deep palace, and I only care about serving Your Majesty. How could I know what's going on outside?"

Xiahou Jiu looked at her gloomily for a while before waving his hand.

Hu Meir smiled calmly, turned and left.

Soon, the document was sent to Yongzhou City.

When Cui Yuanmei presented the document to Zhu Feng, he had just finished a simple dinner in his study. The room was still filled with a faint aroma of food. However, when he picked up the document, his face darkened and the atmosphere in the room immediately became tense.

There weren't many words on the document, so he unfolded it and read it at a glance.

Then he sneered.

Just then, Xiao Shunzi came to report that the imperial concubine was outside asking for an audience.

Zhu Feng said: "Let her in."

Cui Yuanmei quickly stepped aside and saw Nan Yan slowly walk in with a small cup in her hand. She bowed to Zhu Feng and he also bowed to Nan Yan: "Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Have I disturbed your Excellency and the Emperor's meeting?"

Cui Yuanmei just smiled and didn't dare to say anything. Zhu Feng said, "You go down first. I'll think about this matter."

"yes."

Cui Yuanmei bowed and turned to leave.

After he left, Zhu Feng turned around and saw Nan Yan placing the small cup in her hand on his table. He couldn't help but frowned: "What did you bring again? I just had dinner."

Nan Yan said with a stern face, "When I came here, I saw the dishes being cleared away. What the hell is the emperor eating? He can't even feed a cat."

Xiao Shunzi, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but laugh.

Zhu Feng gritted his teeth in anger and said angrily, "Look, I'm going to rip your mouth off!"

Nan Yan knew that he wouldn't really be angry with her, so she filled a small bowl of bird's nest and brought it to Zhu Feng. She said with a cheeky smile, "Even if the emperor wants to tear my mouth apart, drink this bird's nest first."

Zhu Feng looked at the sticky bowl and couldn't help but frowning: "This stuff again."

Nan Yan said, "I have been stewing over the stove for half a day under the scorching sun. If the emperor doesn't eat it, then my suffering will be in vain."

Zhu Feng looked up at her and saw that her forehead and temples were still a little wet. He sighed, reached out to take it, and said, "Don't do this in the future. If you want to do it, let the people below watch over it. You are a noble concubine, not a fire maid. Why bother watching over the stove?"

Nan Yan saw him pick up the spoon and start drinking, then she smiled and said, "If I hadn't been there myself, with the servants watching over me, would the emperor still be willing to drink now?"

"snort."

"This is called a self-torture tactic."

Zhu Feng glared at her again.

After all, I still felt sorry for her, so even though she couldn't eat anything, I forced myself to drink a bowl.

Nan Yan watched him eat from the side, her eyes curved with a smile. However, she glanced at the document on the table and couldn't help asking, "Is this sent from the Kingdom of Yue?"

Zhu Feng handed her the empty bowl, took out his handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth, saying, "It's Xiahou Jiu."

Nan Yan asked, "What is he going to do?"

Zhu Feng said, "They already know that the killer died in my camp. Now, they want me to give them an explanation."

"What?"

Nan Yan almost laughed when she heard this: "Explain? They want us to explain to them?"

But then she came to her senses and said with a gloomy face, "The assassin who assassinated the Prime Minister of Yue State died on our side. They really need an explanation."

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at Zhu Feng: "What is the emperor going to do?"
