He slaughtered his way through the world, yet only to her was he gentle and restrained, showering her with a lifetime of deep affection!
...Chapter 884 Is there something wrong with the tea?
Upon hearing this, Ye Zheng immediately pulled out a stack of papers from his sleeve, handed them to her, and whispered, "Your Majesty, this must be kept secret. If the Emperor knew that I secretly went to check the diary, I would not just have my legs broken."
Nan Yan couldn't help but smile.
Then he said, "But, you could have just told me after you looked it up. Why did you bother copying it out?"
Ye Zheng said: "You will know when you see it."
When Nan Yan heard this, she took it and unfolded it to take a look.
I was stunned for a moment.
She just casually turned a page. On August 24, the third year of Changping,
At noon, the imperial kitchen delivered breakfast...
At one o'clock in the morning, the Empress went to the Imperial Study to discuss the matter of moving the capital with the Emperor...
At three o'clock in the morning, Concubine Kang went to the imperial study to ask for an audience, but was unsuccessful.
At noon, Liu Zhaoyi brought fruits to the emperor;
At noon, take a short nap.
At 5 p.m., the head of the Ministry of Revenue requested a meeting to discuss matters related to western trade.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Concubine Hui came to the Imperial Study and served tea to the Emperor. The Emperor praised her and took a short rest...
…
Nan Yan read through the series and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
No wonder Ye Zheng copied it down for her. During this half day, dozens of people from the harem came to bring tea and fruits to the emperor. Some people also came to ask for an audience like Concubine Kang. However, Zhu Feng hardly met anyone else except discussing some things with the queen.
This was the first time that Nan Yan knew that the concubines in the harem were like this, in a place she didn't know about.
To see him, to say a word to him, back and forth.
But I rarely seem to be like this.
Except when she really had something to ask for, she seldom went to see him just because she wanted to see him.
Because whenever I wanted to see him, he also wanted to see me and would come to Yiku Palace.
So, she hardly knew what it felt like to be ignored.
I have almost never tasted the pain of lovesickness.
But now, she understood a little.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, folded up the papers and put them away, then said, "Okay, then I'll go back and take a look."
Ye Zheng nodded, glanced around, and said, "I have to leave too, lest I be caught by the Emperor and be scolded again."
"Um."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Yu, please send him off."
"ah?"
Ran Xiaoyu had been standing quietly behind him, but was stunned when she heard this: "Why do you want me to send him off?"
When Ye Zheng heard this, he said happily, "Oh, I'm not familiar with the road."
"Are you unfamiliar with the road?"
"Come on, come on. The Queen ordered you to do so."
After saying that, he came forward happily to pull her sleeve. Ran Xiaoyu angrily shook off his hand: "Stop pulling me."
The two men walked away yelling.
Nan Yan looked at their backs and smiled faintly.
In these gloomy days recently, perhaps only seeing the two of them can make me feel a little less miserable.
Nan Yan took those and returned to Yiku Palace. After sitting down, she began to look through them one by one.
Because Zhu Feng had not been to his Yikun Palace for more than a month, Ye Zheng started copying for him from that time.
In more than a month, he did a lot of things every day.
Nan Yan looked at it day by day and recorded it one by one.
Even the time each person appeared and what they did were listed separately.
We were so busy that we stayed busy until late at night.
Ran Xiaoyu was by her side. Seeing her like this, she said with a little heartache: "My Lady, do you want to call someone to help? You are too tired to do this."
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Not to mention, this is the emperor's daily diary, which records his daily words and deeds and is considered confidential. No matter what Zhu Feng has become now, she can't let everyone see what he does every day.
Besides, Ye Zheng copied this for himself at his own risk.
Don't let others know.
So she waved her hand and said, "Pour me a cup of tea."
"yes."
Ran Xiaoyu immediately brought her a cup of tea.
Nan Yan was reaching out to take the teacup when suddenly, her heart skipped a beat.
She looked down and saw a record on the paper of Zhu Feng drinking tea.
Logically speaking, the emperor drinking tea was just a trivial matter, just like burping or farting. No matter how detailed the daily records were, there was no need to record such things.
However, it seemed as if he had made a special note of it.
She thought about it and turned a few more pages.
It was discovered that on several consecutive pages, there was a line of small characters recording the emperor drinking tea.
Does this tea have a history?
Nan Yan thought about this and immediately sorted out the papers on the table one by one. Finally, she found the record in the daily diary one day -
Feng Zhaoyi served tea to the emperor.
It was Feng Shu, who came specially to serve tea to the emperor.
Could it be that the places where Zhu Feng drank tea as noted in the diary these days were all places where she had sent him tea?
If that's the case, is there something wrong with the tea?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
She suddenly remembered that Feng Shu came from the Western Regions.
She had also heard her grandmother mention that in the Western Regions, there were some illusions and even some secret medicines that could captivate people. Could it be that Feng Shu did this?
Moreover, she was sent by King Nanli.
After the incident of killing Beili King Ashige in Hecheng, everyone knew that her appearance was just for that incident, so after that incident, neither she nor everyone else paid any attention to her.
In fact, a few days ago, I had forgotten about this person.
Zhu Feng naturally wouldn't notice her.
But at this very moment, she started to think about Zhu Feng?
For a person in the harem who is ignored by everyone, it is indeed much easier to do anything than for others.
But--
This is just my own guess.
After all, judging from Zhu Feng's current behavior, he didn't show any symptoms of being possessed by a spirit. His temper in speaking and doing things was still the same as before.
It's just that he was cold towards me.
It's the same for a man if he no longer loves you or if his heart has left you.
Nan Yan suddenly felt a sense of confusion in her heart.
Is there really something wrong with him, or is he just simply tired of himself and no longer loves himself?
Which situation is it?
Seeing her frown, her whole body was tangled as if her heart and liver were twisted together, Ran Xiaoyu looked at the side, feeling distressed, and said softly: "My queen, what's wrong?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at her for a while.
After a long time, I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.
Don't lose your composure.
She said: "I may have discovered something wrong."
"Oh?" Ran Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide in surprise: "How is it? Is it——"
Nan Yan raised her hand and said, "It's just that I'm not sure yet."
“…”
"I need someone to help me check it out."
"Who, Ye Zheng?"
When Ran Xiaoyu heard this, she immediately volunteered, "I'll go tell him, if he dares to be lazy, I'll beat him up!"
Nan Yan smiled bitterly.
Of course, Ye Zheng cannot be asked to deal with this matter again.
Since the matter has involved Zhu Feng's favorite concubine Feng Zhaoyi, it cannot be returned to the previous dynasty.
She thought about it and said, "One is fine."
"who?"

The next day, the weather was hotter than usual.
But there was no sun.
The stuffy feeling was as if the entire Jinling City was shrouded in a steamer, and everyone in the palace was suffocating.
After receiving the news, Nan Yan took Ran Xiaoyu to the Imperial Garden.
Sure enough, I saw Wu Wan, Gao Yurong, Xu Jieyushi, and Wang Xianshi enjoying the cool air inside.
However, even in the Imperial Garden, it was not very cool.
Wu Wan's face was gloomy, and she kept turning back to scold the palace maid Qiao Yun behind her: "Fan harder, haven't you eaten yet?"
"Yes, your majesty, please forgive me."
Qiao Yun was also sweating profusely, so she hurriedly increased her strength and fanned her.
Gao Yurong could see that she was troubled by recent events, so she just said softly, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Some things can't be rushed—"
Wu Wan gritted her teeth and said, "I just can't stand seeing that vixen being so smug."
“…”
"Who is she? Is she worthy of serving the Emperor?"
Nan Yan walked over slowly.
When they saw her coming, everyone in the pavilion was stunned for a moment, and they all stood up and saluted her. Wu Wan frowned and reluctantly saluted as well: "How come the Imperial Concubine is so elegant as to come here?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do."
"That's true."
Wu Wan sneered, "I heard that the Emperor has been resting at Yangxingzhai every day recently. Your Majesty, you really can be less busy now."
“…”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Nan Yan's breath also sank.
It has to be said that in the past, she would not even bother to listen to such words, but now, these words seemed to really penetrate her heart.
Ran Xiaoyu behind him couldn't help but took a step forward.
But Nan Yan immediately reached out to stop her.
Then he smiled and said, "Yes, look at the hundreds of flowers blooming in the imperial garden, it's so beautiful. Isn't it just like that in the harem, one crop after another blooms, each one more beautiful than the last."
“…”
"At least, it has bloomed."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Wu Wan and said, "Actually, this kind of leisure time is not a bad thing for me. After all, I already have Princess Xinping."
When Wu Wan heard about the child, her face darkened again.
Indeed, after all, she already has a child.
But she, these people...
Nan Yan continued, "Things like serving tea and water can be left to Feng Zhaoyi. She's already very familiar with it these days."
“…”
After she said this, she stood up and left with a smile.
The few people who stayed in the pavilion fell silent.
After a while, Gao Yurong frowned and said, "Just now, the Imperial Concubine said that these days, Feng Zhaoyi has been serving tea and water to the Emperor? How come we don't know this?"
Wu Wan's face darkened. "Could this vixen take advantage of this opportunity to do something to the Emperor?!"
