Chapter 1297 Completely Heartless
Ye Zheng was unable to get any result from his question, because for the entire day, no matter how busy the eunuchs and maids in the palace, the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty, and even the concubines in the harem were, Zhu Feng did not even show up.
Until the next morning.
The rain continued until the next morning, and the dark clouds refused to dissipate, like a stone weighing on people's hearts.
Eunuch Yu and the others stood at the door, looking inside cautiously.
Because Zhu Feng had not shown up and even the door could not be opened, they did not know whether he could leave the imperial study as scheduled and really set off for Beijing today as he said.
Everyone stood at the door, looking a little dazed.
All around, lanterns swayed in the wind, their light wavering.
At this moment, there was a "creaky" sound, and the door finally opened. Suddenly, everyone looked up and saw that the room was pitch black, and a tall figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
It’s Zhu Feng.
He had a blank expression on his face, and there was no warmth in his deep eyes as he looked at everyone coldly.
As soon as they saw him, they immediately knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng said calmly, "What are you all doing here?"
"Your servants, your servants are waiting here for the Emperor."
"I'm leaving for Beijing today, so I'll do whatever I need to do."
"yes."
Eunuch Yu waved hurriedly to everyone, and they immediately dispersed. When Zhu Feng walked under the eaves, someone came forward with an umbrella.
He said calmly, "Let's go."
Soon, in the rain, rows of people holding lanterns shuttled quickly in the imperial city, walked out of various palaces, and gathered at the palace gate.
The concubines from each palace naturally arrived very early.
Everyone heard that the emperor stayed in the imperial study all day yesterday and did not show up. Everyone was worried, and some people looked at Concubine Ning with a bit of anticipation.
After all, the emperor used to stay in Jianfu Palace, but now he suddenly stopped going to her place, and everyone felt that it was time to make a fool of themselves.
Someone deliberately asked her, "Empress Ning, how have you been resting these past two days?"
In the firelight, Feng Qianyan had a faint smile on her face and ignored other people's provocations.
Because she already knew what happened.
Xu Miaoyin, who was standing nearby, took in the entire scene but said nothing.
After a while, the emperor arrived.
Everyone knelt down. Feng Qianyan, who was canonized as Concubine Ning, naturally stood in front this time. She looked up cautiously. Although the light was dim, it could not hide the red bloodshot in Zhu Feng's eyes and his icy gaze.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Zhu Feng glanced at everyone.
Naturally, I saw her too.
Then he said, "Let's go."
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked everyone to get on the carriage. At this time, Queen Xu Miaoyin was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there is still one person missing."
“…”
When she said this, everyone was stunned.
In fact, everyone knows that one person is missing.
The imperial concubine is not here.
However, everyone knows it, but no one wants to mention it. After all, the emperor hates the imperial concubine so much now. If anyone mentions her in front of the emperor, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
Sure enough, Zhu Feng's steps paused.
He didn't look back, but in the firelight, one could see that the temple on one side bulged slightly, as if he was gritting his teeth.
He said in a deep voice: "Hmm?"
Although everyone around them showed a cautious expression, the queen behind them, Xu Miaoyin, still said softly: "Noble Concubine, they haven't arrived yet."
Everyone was so quiet that you couldn't even hear their breathing.
However, the eyebrow lawsuit is raging.
After a long moment, Zhu Feng sneered, "Noble Concubine? Such a sinner is worthy of being my Noble Concubine?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Miaoyin was startled. Even Eunuch Yu and Ye Zheng, who were serving beside him, opened their eyes wide in shock. Xu Miaoyin subconsciously said, "What does the emperor mean--"
Zhu Feng said coldly: "She is no longer worthy of being treated like a noble concubine."
After saying that, he stepped onto the carriage.
Xu Miaoyin was startled and suddenly understood something. She turned around and looked behind. In the long team following the carriage, there were some low-ranking slaves accompanying the carriage. They could not ride in the carriage and could only walk behind the carriage.
"this--"
She hesitated for a moment, but Zhu Feng had already boarded the carriage and the curtain was slammed down.
At this moment, Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning exchanged glances. Wu Wan's face revealed an expression of almost uncontrollable joy as she murmured, "This, this is great! That bitch is finally—it's time for her to suffer a little."
Gao Yurong on the side was also delighted, but also a little confused: "Why so sudden?"
Everyone has this doubt in their mind.
After being banished to the cold palace, the emperor asked Ye Zheng to deliver things to the cold palace. This matter could not be concealed from anyone, so everyone knew that although the emperor was angry with the concubine, he still retained a trace of friendship.
But this time—
It is completely heartless.
Did something happen yesterday, or the day before yesterday?
Only Feng Qianyan, the Concubine Ning standing in the crowd, had a gleam in her eyes and a smile at the corner of her mouth, so fast that almost no one noticed.
If Li Bushan hadn't been protecting King Wei, he would have just stood by.
He can't see it either.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, but remained silent.
In this somewhat strange atmosphere of silence, everyone's eyes showed either joy or ridicule, and they all got into their carriages with expressions of enjoying a good show.
Prince Wei Zhu Chengxuan's brows were already furrowed at this moment. He walked over to the Queen and whispered, "Mother, is this true? Did Father really treat the Imperial Concubine like this?"
"Don't talk too much."
Xu Miaoyin only instructed: "Keep an eye on your sister and don't let anything happen to her."
"I know, I have always been watching Xin Ping."
"Um."
On the other side, Concubine Hui was about to get on the carriage, but she looked at the back of the team with some reluctance, at the low-ranking palace maids and eunuchs who were soaked like drowned rats in the rain.
Gao Yurong asked, "My Lady? What's wrong?"
Wu Wan smiled and said, "I really want to go over and see what that bitch looks like now."
Gao Yurong also smiled and said, "I would like to go and take a look, but it's raining so hard and we're about to leave. Your Majesty should not make things more complicated."
“…”
"After all, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"You're right," Wu Wan laughed. "There's still a lot of time to go. I'll have time to 'visit' her."
After saying that, he got on the carriage.
Soon, the imperial carriage left the old imperial palace in Jinling and headed north in the drizzle.
