Chapter 584 Your Majesty...I am waiting for you
At this moment, the prince's men finally stopped talking.
They looked at the emperor, saw the domineering look on his stern face, and were unable to utter a word.
There was a minister who slowly knelt down.
"Long live our emperor."
When the people around him saw him kneeling, more and more people followed suit and knelt on the ground, saying to Zhu Feng: "Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long live our emperor!"
In the end, after everyone knelt on the ground, Wu Yingqiu and the others had no choice but to kneel down.
"Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long live our emperor!"
At this time, someone in the crowd stood up again, then knelt on the ground again and said loudly: "Greetings to the Royal Concubine."
As soon as someone took the lead, all the surrounding civil and military officials immediately knelt down again and said in unison: "Your Highness, we pay our respects to the Imperial Concubine!"
"Your Highness, we pay our respects to the Imperial Concubine."
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine!" The voice shook the sky.
Hearing the roars of these people, Nan Yan looked down with a slight tremor, looked at the civil and military officials kneeling at his feet, and looked at the eyes looking up at him.
For the first time, I understood the feeling of being high above with the earth beneath my feet.
So that's how it is.
In a flash, she suddenly understood why so many people throughout history had wanted to get that position and wanted to gain greater power. This was what it felt like to be high and mighty.
It’s like standing on the clouds.
But immediately, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
No matter how high and mighty she was, she could never forget that she was not completely worthy of such a position now. It was because of Zhu Feng and his persistence that she was able to be by his side.
This was the first time she stood beside him.
And in the future——
She has to rely on herself every step of the way to move forward side by side with him!
She slowly turned her head to look at Zhu Feng, and at this moment, he was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and at this moment, it seemed as if their minds were connected.
Nan Yan smiled gently at him.
And Zhu Feng held his hand even tighter.
At this time, the master of ceremonies finally stepped forward and said loudly: "The enthronement ceremony is over, the imperial concubine returns to the palace!"
Immediately, Ran Xiaoyu and the other palace maids came up and escorted Nan Yan back to the palace.
But her steps paused, because she saw Zhu Feng take a step forward, walk to the front of the stairs, and look at the officials below.
He said, "Duke."
Upon hearing his voice, Wu Yingqiu, who was kneeling below, frowned immediately.
Although it seemed that they gained nothing and lost nothing, Nan Yan could clearly feel the "lost situation" of Duke Cheng Wu Yingqiu at this moment.
The people around didn't even dare to hum.
Zhu Feng looked down at him, remained silent for a long time, and said calmly, "Don't be afraid, Duke. I don't mean to blame you."
“…”
"What the Duke just said to me was also for the sake of the court and the world, wasn't it?"
Wu Yingqiu said hurriedly: "Yes, yes."
“…”
"I served the Emperor Gao in the past, and I serve the Emperor today. I do not seek to leave a name in history, but only wish for peace and prosperity in the world."
"What a peaceful world, a peaceful sea and a clear river."
“…”
"Of course I understand the Duke's intentions. However, the Duke's intentions should be used more for the former court, rather than for controlling my harem."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yingqiu's expression changed.
What happened just now and what they said just now can be said to be for the purpose of protecting the ancestral laws and safeguarding the wishes of Emperor Gao, but if the emperor wants, their actions will become interference in the affairs of the harem.
Although everyone knows that the former dynasty and the harem are closely connected, no one dares to reveal this secret.
But just now——
At this moment, Wu Yingqiu was speechless.
Zhu Feng looked at him, knowing that this time, he didn't dare to speak again. He slowly stood up, staring straight ahead, not looking at anyone, and said, "Just now, who brought that letter and its contents here?"
“…”
For a moment, the entire Fengtian Hall was silent.
Only the wind remained, blowing through the treetops.
The rustling sound made people feel even more oppressive, as if a storm was about to come. Some people even found it difficult to stand.
Zhu Feng raised his voice: "Who!?"
With a thud, someone knelt on the ground next to him.
Nan Yan turned around and saw that it was none other than her own sister, Si Mulan.
Her face was pale, she knelt on the ground and trembled, as if she had lost her soul.
Standing beside her were Concubine Kang Wu Wan and Gao Yurong.
Their faces were no better than Si Mulan's, and were even paler. Especially when Zhu Feng was talking to Wu Yingqiu just now, Wu Wan was already so scared that her throat was choked.
No one could tell that she was so arrogant just now.
Zhu Feng turned around and slowly walked in front of them.
He said, "You are my concubine's sister?"
“Yes… yes…”
Simulan was trembling so much that she couldn't even speak.
Zhu Feng slowly raised his head again and looked at Wu Wan: "She's looking for you?"
This time, Wu Wan couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on the ground tremblingly: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng looked at them calmly for a while.
"The Queen."
Upon hearing Zhu Feng's voice, Xu Miaoyin immediately stepped forward and said, "I'm here."
Zhu Feng said, "You are the heir of a nation and the mother of the country. I leave this matter to you."
“…”
"Don't let me down."
Xu Miaoyin said respectfully, "Yes."
Hearing these words, Duke Cheng, who was kneeling below, turned pale, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Just now, Zhu Feng's words had already warned him that no matter what happened in the harem, the former dynasty could not have any impact!
Finally, Zhu Feng turned and looked at Nan Yan.
That stern face, as if carved from ten thousand years of ice, was handsome yet revealed a sharp coldness that made people afraid to approach it.
But at this moment, he reached out and grabbed Nan Yan's fingers.
He immediately felt his palms burning like fire.
A subtle tenderness was revealed in his eyes as he whispered to her, "Now, go back to the palace and have a good rest. I still have some things to deal with today."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him, was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "Yes."
She knew that if it was a normal enthronement ceremony, after the enthronement ceremony was completed, he and the queen should accept her kowtow and then everything would be over. But today's enthronement ceremony was of course completely different.
Although now, I am his concubine.
But there are still many things to deal with next.
Because he has announced that he will implement a new policy, so the affairs of the previous dynasty are much more important than gatherings in the harem.
Seeing him turn around and walk towards the imperial study, Nan Yan whispered again: "Your Majesty...I will wait for you."
