Chapter 3457 He didn't succeed, why did they kill him?
Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Zhu Feng glanced at him and said, "Why? Don't you want to?"
Li Bushang immediately leaned forward and said, "I dare not. It's just that my wife is sick."
"Are you sick?"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What's the illness? Is it serious? Do you want me to send a royal physician to take a look?"
Li Bushang said hurriedly, "I dare not trouble the imperial physician. My wife has only caught a cold. This happens every year. She just needs to take good care of herself."
Zhu Feng glanced at him again before saying, "If that's the case, then forget it. If she does anything bad again, come back to me."
Li Bushang said, "I thank the emperor for his grace."
Zhu Feng waved his hand and said, "You can go down."
Li Bushan then left the study. As he walked out, a cold wind blew outside, making him feel slightly chilled. However, he did not linger for long. He quickened his pace and walked forward a little. He saw Nan Yan preparing to turn into the inner courtyard. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty."
Nan Yan stopped and looked back at him.
Li Bushan walked up to her and looked down at her. He was the one who called out to her, but when they were facing each other, he couldn't say a word. He just looked down at her, and that look made Nan Yan frown.
However, she still said calmly: "Master Li called me to stop, is there anything you want to say?"
Li Bushang hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Master Li has nothing to say, but I do have something to say to Master Li."
Li Bushang raised his eyes and looked at her: "What does your Majesty want to tell me?"
Nan Yan looked at him for a while before slowly saying, "If it weren't for Lord Li's intervention last night, Xinping's safety would be in jeopardy. I should thank Lord Li for saving Xinping."
Li Bushang's eyes were filled with emotions, as tangled as a thousand troops fighting inside, but his whole body was heavy. He looked at Nan Yan for a long time before slowly saying: "If others said so, I would only say that it is my duty. If you-"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Nan Yan.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Since it is my duty, I won't say much."
After saying this, he turned to leave. Li Bushang subconsciously wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Instead, Nan Yan took a step, paused, and looked back at him, saying, "Sir Li, this is a turbulent time, and Yongzhou is also a turbulent place. We don't know how many dangers will come next. I hope Sir Li will remember what I just said. Some things are your responsibility."
Li Bushang's eyes flickered slightly.
After a while, he said, "I understand, your humble servant."
Nan Yan turned around and left, but he stood there, watching Nan Yan's back disappear in front of him, but the gleam in his eyes never faded.
Although Nan Yan walked forward without looking back, she seemed to be able to feel the burning gaze behind her, which made her body feel hot. She quickened her pace and quickly returned to her room, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
However, just as she reached the door, she heard a commotion inside. Just as Nan Yan was about to push the door open, she saw De Lu hurriedly pushing the door open, almost bumping into her. Nan Yan frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Delu felt relieved as soon as he saw her.
"You are finally back, my lady. The eldest princess woke up and couldn't see you, so she is making a fuss."
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan hurriedly pushed the door open and saw Xin Ping sitting on the bed, howling with his mouth wide open. Below him, the palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. Nan Yan walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"
When Xinping heard her voice, he immediately stopped and threw himself into her arms: "Mom!"
It turns out she was just acting coquettishly.
Nan Yan was both angry and amused. She could only hold her daughter and sit on the edge of the bed. She waved to the anxiously sweating maids and eunuchs below, and they all retreated as if they had been pardoned. Nan Yan held her daughter in her arms, gently stroking her back and saying with a smile, "You're making a fuss so early in the morning. Who has offended you again?"
Xinping buried himself in her arms and said sullenly, "You messed me up."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Mom left early in the morning, how did I offend you?"
Xin Ping said, "It's because you left so early in the morning that you irritated me!"
Nan Yan immediately understood that when she woke up and couldn't see herself, she must have guessed that she went to the study to see her father. This girl started to "compete for favor" again.
So he smiled and said, "Didn't mother leave because she was afraid of disturbing you after she woke up?"
"snort!"
Xinping ignored her and just nestled in her arms, acting like a spoiled child. Nan Yan finally managed to calm her down with great effort. Xinping grumbled as she dressed herself, washed up, and sat in front of the mirror. She peeled back the cloth around her neck and saw that the thin wound had become even more noticeable, turning bright red. Although it didn't hurt, it was still very noticeable.
She stamped her feet in anger: "Mom! Look!"
Nan Yan also walked over, lifted her chin and examined it carefully, then said, "It's okay. Mother will ask the Imperial Hospital to prepare some medicine to help you remove this scar later. The wound is very thin and will disappear soon."
Xinping's eyes turned red, and she pouted, "It's all that bad guy's fault!"
Nan Yan said: "Yes, it's all his fault!"
Xinping thought for a moment and then said, "It's also my father's fault!"
Nan Yan sighed, reached out and ruffled her hair, and said, "Why are you blaming your father again? Didn't he also try to save you?"
Xin Ping said, "Of course we have to blame him! The people of Yue are so evil, and he still uses so much food to feed them. Isn't this just raising a tiger to cause trouble?"
"Raising a tiger is a threat?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Xin Ping has really grown. He even knows that raising a tiger can be a disaster."
Xinping shook his head vigorously, removing it from her hands, and said angrily, "After all, I've been studying for so many years, how could I not know that raising a tiger can bring harm!"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Then what else do you know?"
Xinping looked at the eye-catching wound on his neck reflected in the mirror and said with increasing rage, "I knew that guy last night was a bad guy, a bad guy, a bad guy!"
Nan Yan said: "That's right, isn't he a big bad guy?"
As she spoke, she let her thoughts sink in, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said slowly, "He actually plotted to assassinate the Prime Minister of Yue. Although he didn't succeed, this person is not simple."
Xin Ping said: "He must have done more than just this one bad thing."
"oh?"
Nan Yan looked down at her: "Why do you say that?"
Xin Ping said, "Isn't this simple? He didn't even succeed, so why would they kill him? Since the people of Yue are hunting him, it must be because of something else!"
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Anything else?
