Chapter 3257 God's Will
Nan Yan asked, "Then why did the Emperor send them to White Tiger City?"
Zhu Feng smiled mysteriously.
"You'll know when the time comes."
Nan Yan couldn't help but pout and glare at him, but Zhu Feng really had no intention of telling her. After betting for a long time, she had no choice but to give up.
She originally thought that this "time" would come soon, but unexpectedly, a few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhu Feng had no intention of telling her. Moreover, not only did the team sent out before not come back, but Handongwei sent out several more teams in succession, and none of them returned.
Nan Yan felt even more confused.
After breakfast that day, because there was a light rain at night, it brought a rare cool breeze here. Zhu Feng took Nan Yan to the courtyard to cool off. Han Wang Chengjun and Wen Bieyu did not go out either, but ran around in the yard. Since everyone was there, even Wen Wuyu was let out.
Sometimes he was mentally disturbed and needed someone to look after him, but sometimes he was better. For example, today he seemed to be more lucid. At first he just stood far away, but later when he saw Wen Bieyu and Cheng Jun climbing the rockery together, he hurried over and stood below, extending his hands to protect Wen Bieyu, smiling, looking like an uncle.
Nan Yan also smiled and said, "Everyone, be careful, don't fall down."
Cheng Jun poked his head out of a cave and shouted, "Don't worry, mother."
After saying that, he shrank back again. In the blink of an eye, his small body popped out from the other side like a clever monkey.
Wen Wuyu was so anxious that he ran after them helplessly, shouting, "Xiao Qishi, Xiao Qishi, be careful, don't fall."
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Zhu Feng asked, "Why are you sighing?"
Nan Yan said: "I have seen Wen Wuyu go crazy for so many years, it's really pitiful."
Zhu Feng also took a look and said calmly, "He himself doesn't know anything."
Nan Yan turned around and said, "Oh, Your Majesty, Xue Yun's notebook—"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Chen Zixiao and two others walking towards him from outside the courtyard gate. They were talking to Xiao Shunzi, who was waiting there. Nan Yan poked Zhu Feng's arm and said, "Your Majesty, Master Chen is here."
Zhu Feng looked back and called him over. Chen Zixiao hurriedly brought people over to pay respects to the emperor and the imperial concubine.
Zhu Feng asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Zixiao knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the people I sent to Bailong City have returned."
"ah!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
I just asked about it, and I didn't expect him to come back.
Zhu Feng glanced at her, signaling her not to be too revealing, and then said, "Did you find the things?"
Chen Zixiao said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Um?"
Zhu Feng frowned: "What's going on?"
Chen Zixiao said, "The people I sent over came back and said that as soon as they arrived in Bailong City, they encountered a fire at the Xue family. The small building that the emperor mentioned was burned down."
"What?!"
When Nan Yan heard this, she immediately became anxious and stood up: "How did the fire start?"
Chen Zixiao said, "This is the northwest, and the weather is dry this season, so it's easy for floods to occur. In Handongwei, when weather like this happens, I always order my subordinates to sprinkle water on the corners of the houses every once in a while to prevent fires. However, after the Xue family moved away, only an old man and his grandson were left to look after the house. They were often unable to take care of it, and I didn't expect that the small building would flood."
“…”
"When my men arrived, the fire was already burning."
“…”
"Although they tried their best to put out the fire and it rained later, it was too late. The small building had already burned down."
"this--"
Nan Yan felt like a huge rock was pressing down on her heart. She was so angry and anxious that she couldn't even breathe. Zhu Feng hurriedly reached out and pulled her to sit down, asking Ruoshui and the others to serve her tea. Nan Yan looked up at Zhu Feng with red eyes and said, "Your Majesty!"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while and then heaved a long sigh.
He said, "I originally thought that if I could find that notebook, I would be able to do something. I didn't expect that the building would burn down just after you went there. It seems that it is really God's will."
Nan Yan frowned after hearing this.
Zhu Feng asked again: "Then, how did the Xue family arrange for them?"
Chen Zixiao said, "The people guarding the house are fine. They have already written a letter to Madam Xue to see if they will come back to check. If they need to rebuild, I will also send someone to help."
Zhu Feng sighed, "If I hadn't wanted to find that notebook, the Xue family wouldn't have suffered this misfortune. If they really want to rebuild that building, please write a memorial and send it to me, and I will arrange it for them."
Chen Zixiao looked up at him carefully.
Then he whispered, "Yes."
Zhu Feng thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, you all can go down."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
After saying that, Chen Zixiao stood up and retreated with his men.
As soon as they left, Nan Yan, who was standing beside them, couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty!"
Zhu Feng glanced at her, and seeing that she was angry and anxious, he just said calmly: "Calm down, calm down."
Although she had prepared herself mentally in advance, after all, even if it was herself, if she had such an important notebook, she would carry it with her wherever she went. The possibility of Xue Yun leaving the notebook at the Xue family was very low, but things had come to this point, and it was her last chance after all. Nan Yan couldn't help but put too much hope into it.
When hopes are dashed, disappointment and resentment naturally follow.
Nan Yan couldn't help herself from falling into anger.
However, just when she was so angry that she didn't know what to do, she saw Zhu Feng was so calm and became a little confused. Although she knew that he never showed his emotions, he was too easy-going in this matter.
Especially just now, he actually said the words "God's will".
You know, although Zhu Feng lives a transparent life, he has never been a person who goes with the flow. On the contrary, he himself is the Son of Heaven. Many times, it is God's will that he must accomplish whatever he wants to do. He has never said such words as "obey God's will" in the past.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan asked in surprise: "Your Majesty...?"
"Um?"
"Why isn't the Emperor angry at all?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said calmly, "Why are you angry? I told you long ago that finding it was luck, but don't be angry if you can't find it. I was mentally prepared for this outcome."
“…”
Nan Yan couldn't help but frown - even if she was mentally prepared, wasn't his performance a little too calm?
She said, "Your Majesty really thinks it is God's will?"
