Chapter 3408 was discovered?
Nan Yan said, "Everyone has their own dilemmas, but your father, the emperor, governs millions of people under heaven, so he has his own difficulties."
"extremely difficult……"
Just hearing these two words, although I didn't quite understand, I felt as if a huge stone was pressing on my heart.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and someone came to report: "The emperor is here."
Nan Yan stood up immediately upon hearing this, then lowered her head and said to Xin Ping, "Don't talk nonsense in front of your father for a while, do you understand? Otherwise, I will not forgive you!"
Xinping was indeed frightened and nodded obediently.
Nan Yan immediately led her outside, and sure enough, they saw Zhu Feng had already left Chong'en Tower. He had been inside for the better part of an hour, the entire tower tightly shut, not even a crack. Even though Nan Yan didn't follow him in, she could tell it must have been incredibly hot and stuffy in the sweltering heat. However, when Zhu Feng emerged, there wasn't a single drop of sweat on his face or body; on the contrary, he looked rather pale.
It seemed like it came from a very cold place.
It also seemed as if his heart was cold.
Even when he walked out, his eyes were still a little indifferent. When he looked around, it was as if a person was standing on a vast ice field, looking at the ice and snow around him, without a trace of warmth.
But soon, his eyes fell here.
As soon as he saw Nan Yan, his eyes seemed to come alive and he had a little bit of human vitality.
He walked down the side path and came directly to this side hall. Nan Yan immediately took Xin Ping to pay his respects. Zhu Feng waved his hand and said, "You've been waiting for a long time."
Nan Yan did not answer this question. She just looked at him for a while and said softly, "The emperor doesn't look very good."
Zhu Feng said, "I'm fine."
Nan Yan led him into a side hall and immediately had her serve cold tea. Zhu Feng took a sip, and his eyes brightened a little. He sighed softly, then said, "They just said it was a bit chaotic here. What's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Xinping turned pale with fright.
Nan Yan said: "It's nothing."
"nothing?"
Zhu Feng had originally asked casually, but now he took it seriously: "I heard that you called Shi Kong and the others in and scolded them. How could it be nothing?"
Suddenly, everyone around held their breath.
Nan Yan was very calm. She took the teacup from his hand and put it back on the table. She said slowly, "It's all Xin Ping's fault. She ran around everywhere when she didn't see me. I couldn't find her, so I sent people to look for her everywhere. Didn't the people below get so busy?"
"oh?"
Although Nan Yan remained calm, the two of them were so familiar with each other that Zhu Feng somehow sensed a hint of unease when he heard her calm words. He looked up at Nan Yan, thought for a moment, then looked down at Xin Ping: "Why are you running around?"
Xinping was already a little confused by what had just happened, and when Zhu Feng asked her this, she became even more panicked.
Nan Yan immediately said: "She——"
But before she could finish, Zhu Feng interrupted her: "Let her speak for herself."
At this moment, the entire side hall fell silent.
Nan Yan felt a chill creeping up from the soles of her feet. She looked at Xin Ping, who was becoming increasingly flustered. She didn't know where to look. Suddenly, she saw the little Ming Xin winking at her from behind the monk Shi Kong, who was standing outside the door. She took a deep breath and said, "My son, I'm going to look for that little brother."
"Um?"
Zhu Feng followed her gaze, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Do you still remember him?"
Xin Ping said, "I thought he looked familiar. He said he had carried me on his back before and even earned a steamed bun from boxing for me."
Zhu Feng burst into laughter.
He smiled, reached out and stroked his daughter's head, and said, "He is your benefactor. You should not forget him."
When they saw him smile, their hearts, which had been in their throats, relaxed.
Lian Nanyan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Feng also turned around to look at her, then said, "It's just a child's matter, there's no need to scold. Xinping came to Jinling this time, and she doesn't have any brothers or sisters to play with her. Otherwise, according to my opinion, bring the child into the palace and let him play with Xinping for two days."
Nan Yan and Xin Ping were both stunned.
Nan Yan said: "Is this okay?"
Zhu Feng said: "What's wrong with that? He's just a little monk, there aren't that many rules. Bringing him into the palace can help you relieve your boredom. There's only one thing -"
Zhu Feng said to Xin Ping, "Don't force others to mess around with you!"
Xinping had not expected such a pleasant surprise. He immediately put everything that had happened before behind him and said happily, "Thank you, Father!"
Nan Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
So he immediately sent someone out to tell Shi Kong and Ming Xin. Ming Xin was led by De Lu into the side hall and kowtowed to Zhu Feng to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng rested for a while and then prepared to return to the palace.
Nan Yan and Xin Ping followed him carefully. Monk Shi Kong was also very cautious. He led a group of monks to accompany the emperor and the imperial concubine. As the group walked out, Chen Xuan and a group of officials were all standing at the door. As soon as they saw the emperor and the imperial concubine come out, they immediately stepped forward to salute.
Zhu Feng waved his hand: "Let's get going."
At this moment, a servant suddenly ran out from the side, walked up to Chen Xuan and whispered something in his ear. Chen Xuan's face suddenly changed: "What did you say?!"
Zhu Feng was about to walk out, but when he heard his voice, he immediately turned around and looked: "What's going on?"
Chen Xuan's face turned pale, clearly no small matter. He hesitated for a moment, knowing that he couldn't hide this matter, so he walked over to Zhu Feng and whispered a few words.
Nan Yan was originally standing two steps away from Zhu Feng, and couldn't hear clearly what he said, but two words floated into her ears clearly -
Hungry people.
Nan Yan suddenly became nervous.
Could it be that those starving people were discovered by Chen Xuan just now?
Because this time only Zhu Feng entered the Chong'en Pagoda for the sacrifice, and it was not a large sacrificial ceremony, the officials from Jinling were just waiting at the door of the Da Ci'en Temple and did not follow in. However, they were clearly outside, so how could they know what was happening inside?
At this moment, Zhu Feng's face suddenly darkened after listening to Chen Xuan's report.
"Starving people? Where are they?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Monk Shikong's face turned pale and he fell to his knees with a thud.
Suddenly, everyone around knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
