Chapter 910 An Anomaly
She stared at him blankly, with something hot and wet welling up in her eyes.
"No, it's not."
"No?" Zhu Feng frowned. "Then I said I would come back, but you had the food removed. What does that mean?"
“…”
When Nan Yan spoke, her voice was a little hoarse: "I thought the emperor would stay with Lipin."
“…”
Zhu Feng's breath sank for a moment.
After a while, he said, "Then you still ignored my words!"
Nan Yan lowered her head slightly.
Zhu Feng looked at her long eyelashes covering her sparkling eyes. After a while, he said, "I said I would come back, and I will definitely come back."
"……yes."
"From now on, you must remember this," he said, "what I say is what you must do."
"yes."
Fortunately, the imperial kitchen acted quickly. Aunt Tongyun passed the message down, and after a while, someone brought the food again, filling the table again.
Zhu Feng sat down and handed the empty bowl in his hand to her.
"Serve me some rice."
“…”
Nan Yan didn't say anything, but just took the bowl obediently, filled it with rice, and then placed it in front of him.
Zhu Feng asked, "What about you?"
"ah?"
"Do you want me to sit here and eat alone?"
“…”
Nan Yan thought about it and served herself a bowl. However, unlike Zhu Feng's full bowl of rice, she only served herself half a bowl.
Zhu Feng glanced at her, but didn't say anything. He just said, "Eat more."
"yes."
Nan Yan lowered her head and ate the food in the bowl in small bites.
At this time, Nianqiu and Aunt Tongyun, who were standing by the door and peeking inside, both breathed a sigh of relief. Nianqiu said softly, "Finally, everything is all right, right, Aunt?"
Aunt Tongyun said, "I just hope that everything will clear up after the rain."

It was as if I heard their voices.
In the following days, the weather was sunny and their ship sailed north with almost no accidents.
Nan Yan looked at the surrounding waters and found them very familiar.
Because when King Arslan of Nanli kidnapped her and took her to the Kingdom of Dian, they took this stretch of water.
In the blink of an eye, almost a month had passed.
Looking at the rolling mountains on both sides of the river, and feeling the increasingly cold weather, snowflakes have begun to fall from the sky.
They have entered the northern region.
And these days, Zhu Feng spends more time with her than before.
Although it was not exactly like in the past, where he would visit her and Xiao Xinping almost every day, but being able to see him, and the fact that the atmosphere when the two of them met was no longer tense or cold, made everything very different.
Nan Yan also asked Zhu Chengxuan if there was something wrong that caused Zhu Feng to change.
Zhu Chengxuan himself was also a little surprised.
He said, "I don't know if it's my incense that's working, but it's true that Father rarely goes to Concubine Li's room these days."
“…”
"Although, Concubine Li has had tea delivered to the Imperial Study a few times."
Nan Yan suddenly became nervous: "So, has the emperor drunk it?"
"have no idea."
Zhu Chengxuan shook his head and said, "Recently, Father has been spending a lot of time alone and doesn't want anyone to accompany him, so I don't know what he does."
“…”
Nan Yan fell silent.
Zhu Chengxuan saw that she was still a little worried and said softly, "Your Highness, there's no need to worry too much."
“…”
"Father is doing very well now."
"How can I not be worried?"
Nan Yan murmured.
Although Zhu Feng's condition seemed to be better now than before, there was still one thing weighing on her mind, which was the divination that He Yi had made for the relocation of the capital, which Ye Zheng had told her before.
This time, Zhu Feng goes north, and something big may happen.
The thought of this made her feel uneasy.
Nan Yan said, "Your Highness, do you know that this time, Lord He Yi divined for the Emperor to move the capital?"
Zhu Chengxuan was silent for a moment, then said, "I know this too."
“…”
"Lord Hei also sent me a message."
“…”
"The matters concerning this trip north, including the arrangements on board, were all instructed to me by Lord Heyi."
"oh?"
Nan Yan was a little surprised when she heard this.
It turns out that all of this was directed by He Yi behind the scenes to Zhu Chengxuan.
No wonder, this time, everything has gone smoothly since they boarded the ship until now, even Zhu Feng has begun to get better. She thought it was all thanks to Zhu Chengxuan, but now it seems that He Yi is still the one who is making all the plans in Beiping.
Of course, compared to the past, Zhu Chengxuan has grown very fast.
If I had seen him back in Peking, he would have been so timid in front of Zhu Feng, unable to even speak fluently, and he would never have dared to do these things.
Nan Yan asked again, "Then, did Lord He Yi tell us what specific things we will encounter this time?"
Zhu Chengxuan shook his head.
"According to him, the enemy is hiding in the dark."
“…”
"Not only are the enemies hiding in the dark, but even what they are going to do is still not fully understood."
“…”
"So this time when we go north, we have to be very careful about many things."
Nan Yan listened and frowned.
Even with He Yi's keen sense, he couldn't detect it, so this matter was really tricky.
She let out a long sigh.
Seeing her worried look, Zhu Chengxuan felt that he shouldn't put too much pressure on her, so he said softly, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. There will always be a way out. Lord Heyi also said that his divination is Lei Ze Gui Mei."
"Leize Guimei?"
"Yes, speaking of it, it's a lower hexagram, a symbol of the feminine overcoming the masculine, the weak taking on the strong. But he said that there seems to be another strange phenomenon in the hexagram."
“…”
Although Nan Yan had learned a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, she never understood anything about hexagrams.
She was completely confused by what Zhu Chengxuan said.
Zhu Chengxuan said: "In short, there is life in death."
“…”
"It just requires an outlier."
"Anomaly?"
Nan Yan frowned: "What does it mean?"
Zhu Chengxuan said: "The anomaly could be a person or an event. It's useless to talk about it now. We won't know until it happens."
“…”
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, lest anyone get depressed. My Lady, the weather is nice today, let's go outside and take a look on the deck."
Nan Yan's mind was in a mess and she felt suffocated.
His suggestion came at the perfect time.
So he simply walked out of the cabin and went to the deck to relax.
The weather today is really good. The wind and snow have stopped, and the sun is shining brightly. Although there is not much heat, people have been staying in the cabin for so long, so it is still good for people to bask in the sun.
When he walked onto the deck, he saw Queen Xu Miaoyin standing in front of him.
Nan Yan stepped forward and said softly, "Greetings to the Queen."
Zhu Chengxuan also knelt and bowed: "Mother."
Xu Miaoyin turned around and saw that it was them. She nodded calmly and said, "Is the imperial concubine coming out to see the scenery too?"
"Yes."
"I've rarely seen scenery like this. It's very different from Jinling."
“…”
"I don't know where it is."
Nan Yan looked around and found the scenery here somewhat familiar.
She thought for a moment and said, "We should be almost entering Shandong."
"oh?"
"If I remember correctly, if we walk a little further, we should reach the confluence of the Grand Canal and the Yellow River."
"I see."
Nan Yan held onto the fence and looked forward.
This should be the section, because she had walked this way more than once. If she walked further, she would reach the confluence of the canal and the Yellow River, which was the place where King Arslan of Nanli had brought her ashore before.
Then they arrived at Crane City.
Xu Miaoyin turned around and asked, "Chengxuan, where are we landing this time?"
"To answer my mother, this time we are going to Tianjin."
"oh."
Nan Yan said, "Then, shall we not take the road to Hecheng?"
"Of course not," Zhu Chengxuan shook his head and said, "The route has already been arranged. We won't take that route."
“…”
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
Although she had walked this route more than once, she was actually not very familiar with the surroundings. Since He Yi was guiding Zhu Chengxuan from behind, he must have his own intentions.
Besides—
Crane City.
When she thought of that place, Nan Yan's mood couldn't help but become gloomy again.
That place seemed to be a gathering place for trouble.
The first time she went to Hecheng, she was kidnapped by Arslan; the second time, Zhu Feng took her there, and it was on that occasion that Arslan sent Feng Shu to Zhu Feng.
I originally thought it was just a small episode.
But they didn't expect that these days would make them change so much.
Xu Miaoyin turned around and looked at her, saying, "What's wrong with the Imperial Concubine? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Nan Yan hurriedly shook her head: "Concubine, it's okay."
The Queen looked at her again and said, "We will arrive in Beiping soon. There will be a lot of things to do. Please take care of yourself, my concubine."
"yes."
As they were talking, they heard footsteps behind them.
Although she hadn't turned around yet, Nan Yan had already sensitively sensed an uncomfortable feeling. She subconsciously turned around and saw Feng Shu walking out of the cabin.
As soon as he saw her, Nan Yan frowned.
As for Feng Shu, I heard that she was sick and her condition had not improved in recent days. When I saw her today, she was indeed pale and her eyes were bloodshot.
Although I know that she is a gorgeous beauty, but at this moment, at first glance, she looks a little scary.
Of course, at another look, she is still a bright and charming beauty.
She walked over and bowed respectfully to Xu Miaoyin and Nan Yan: "I pay my respects to the Empress and the Imperial Concubine."
