Chapter 994 Zhu Feng’s True Purpose
Facing the empty golden carriage, the three of them broke out in cold sweats in an instant.
Zhu Feng is missing.
He was not in the golden chariot.
They suddenly understood that there had been silence in the golden carriage for the past two days, and he didn't even eat much. It turned out that he had not been in the golden carriage for a long time.
Did he leave on his own, or was he forced to—
After thinking about it, Ye Zheng immediately shook his head and dismissed the second idea.
How could he have been kidnapped?
Even if he has forgotten everything in his past, his own skills are still there. Let alone kidnapping him quietly, even getting close to him is not that easy.
So, he left on his own.
At this moment, a eunuch came forward to report something. Seeing this, Xu Miaoyin immediately closed the door of the golden carriage with both hands.
The eunuch asked, "Empress, does the Emperor have any order? Should we stop here or go directly to the ship?"
Xu Miaoyin said calmly, "There's a video online. Let's just rest on the dock for a while and upload it later."
"yes."
The eunuch immediately went down to pass on the message.
Xu Miaoyin finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look at Ye Zheng. When their eyes met, they both silently agreed on something.
The emperor's disappearance must not be known to others.
Qin Ruolan, who was standing nearby, clearly understood what they meant, but she frowned and said in a deep voice, "The Empress intends to keep this a secret, but shouldn't we go find him? Will the Emperor be in danger?"
“…”
After she said this, Xu Miaoyin and Ye Zheng fell silent for a moment.
To be honest, with Zhu Feng's skills, if he really encountered any danger, I'm afraid all the guards here would die before he could still stand.
After all, this emperor did not inherit the throne by living a life of luxury, but fought his way to the throne on the battlefield.
But--
After all, he is the emperor, and he is connected to the world. How can he leave alone?
If something unexpected really happens, wouldn’t the sky of Yan Country collapse?
Too willful!
These words popped up in Ye Zheng's mind fearlessly.
At this time, Qin Ruolan also came back to his senses
With Zhu Feng's skills, he would indeed not be in danger, but he was still worried about him, no matter how high his skills were.
She murmured, "Then why did you leave without saying a word? Without even telling anyone."
Xu Miaoyin glanced at her and said nothing.
Ye Zheng, however, thought for a moment and said soberly, "I'm afraid that after that incident, the Emperor no longer trusts us. This tour is just an excuse for him to find the truth."
“…”
"His real purpose is to leave the Imperial City."
Xu Miaoyin also nodded slightly.
Now it seems that this is the only explanation.
They all made mistakes.
They thought that by using the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, Zhu Feng would be able to forget all his past and thus be able to get rid of his inner demons, but they forgot that the current Zhu Feng was no longer the Zhu Feng who had used the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique last time.
He was still young at that time, and had the pressure of the Emperor Gao on him. Although he had doubts about the things around him, he was still a child after all. No matter how many doubts and ideas he had in his mind, he had no way to put them into practice. So under the pressure of the surrounding environment, he accepted the reality given to him by others little by little.
Zhu Feng is now the king of a country. He has the courage to look down on the world and has unparalleled martial arts.
If he has doubts about the reality before him, he can leave immediately and find the truth on his own.
Qin Ruolan was still in a gloomy mood: "Then why didn't he tell me? He didn't even say a word and just left like that..."
She thought that after losing his memory, she was the only person Zhu Feng could accept and be close to, but she found that Zhu Feng also doubted her and was distant from her.
Ye Zheng glanced at her and said nothing.
In fact, what Zhu Feng doubted now was not any one of them, or a group of them, but the whole world around him. It should be said that after he forgot all his past, the whole world in his heart collapsed. Now he traveled alone to reshape his inner world.
So, what they have to do now is...
Xu Miaoyin asked, "Should we continue moving forward?"
Ye Zheng nodded and said, "Of course. We can't let anyone know that the emperor has left the protection of the imperial carriage and is alone outside."
"That makes sense."
Xu Miaoyin immediately came to her senses and said, "We should continue to move forward. However, once we reach Prince Ning's Mansion, we won't be able to hide anything anymore."
Ye Zheng's eyes rolled, and a sly smile appeared on his face: "We have to wait until then."
"you mean--"
"After all, it's the Emperor's trip. If he wants to travel around and inspect the people's sentiments, would anyone dare to urge him?"
"That makes sense."
Xu Miaoyin nodded and said, "Ye Zheng, then you need to replan the route. The imperial carriage can't go directly to Changqing City."
"Yes, I will do it right away."
"Also, the Emperor still needs to look for him. You should secretly send people to look for him, but remember, do not spread the news to others, so as not to bring disaster to the Emperor who is alone outside."
"I understand."
After Ye Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.
After Xu Miaoyin gave the order, she turned to look at Qin Ruolan. She saw that he was standing there quietly, but he seemed to have some thoughts in his mind, and his eyes were flickering slightly.
Xu Miaoyin said calmly, "From now on, you will be my companion. Madam Qin, no matter how worried you are about the Emperor, his safety is the most important thing. Please don't cause any trouble."
“…”
Qin Ruolan was stunned by what she said.
At that moment, she did think in her heart that she should leave the imperial carriage and go to look for Zhu Feng alone.
But Xu Miaoyin's words were obviously a warning to her.
If she leaves too, people around her will inevitably become suspicious.
She could only grit her teeth, endure it, and said in a deep voice: "I understand."
Xu Miaoyin nodded, turned around and walked to the other side, calmly as if nothing had happened. She even passed down the order that the emperor was thirsty and asked someone to bring some hot tea and desserts.
Ye Zheng on the other side also passed the order along.
But he didn't look relaxed.
He had to keep the situation on the imperial side stable and not arouse suspicion. On the other hand, he also had to worry about Zhu Feng leaving alone. Where would he go now?
At present, it seems that his destination should also be the fiefdom of Prince Ning.
But since he was not traveling with the emperor, he obviously did not intend to go directly to Prince Ning.
So what will he do?
There is one more thing on my mind - Ran Xiaoyu.
She was also going to the Ning Wang fiefdom with Princess Xinping to look for the imperial concubine. She had originally thought that when the imperial carriage reached Jiaodong, she could look for her along the way, but now that she had to delay, she would not be able to find her.
Ye Zheng murmured worriedly, "Please don't get into any trouble..."
