Chapter 156 Where Have You Been?
The waiter led them upstairs to a private room on the second floor. As soon as they entered, they saw Zhu Feng sitting at the table with a wine glass in his hand, and Ye Zheng had returned and was standing behind him.
The two walked in, and when the door closed, they immediately leaned over and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't even raise his head.
This restaurant was doing good business, and it was dinner time, so the seats outside were almost full. Some people were laughing loudly, and others were joking around. However, in such a lively environment, the private room was quiet and a little eerie.
Of course, all of this was due to the powerful aura from Zhu Feng, which seemed to make it difficult for people to breathe.
Nan Yan glanced at him cautiously.
He was fine when he left before. Who offended him?
Could it be Ye Zheng?
She looked up at Ye Zheng, but saw Ye Zheng looking at her, sighing helplessly and shaking his head.
What happened?
Zhu Feng remained silent for a long time, and not only Nan Yan, but Jian Ruocheng was also a little confused. However, he still maintained a proper posture of greeting and stood there motionless.
It was not until this time that Zhu Feng raised his head and glanced at them.
Then, his gaze fell on Nan Yan.
At this moment, Nan Yan cautiously raised her eyes to look at him again. When their eyes met, although the sun was scorching outside and her body was still hot, Nan Yan felt as if a cold wind was blowing from the snow-capped mountains. She shivered and lowered her head quickly.
Zhu Feng's expression became even gloomier.
After a long silence, he said, "Where have you been?"
Upon hearing his question, Jian Ruocheng immediately said, "I walked around East Street for a while."
"And you?"
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment before she realized that he was asking her a question and quickly said, "This servant is also like this."
Zhu Feng held the wine glass in his hand, but he didn't bring it to his lips. At this time, the wine in the glass began to sway slightly. He looked at them for a while and said, "I asked you to go out and get information, not to wander around."
Jian Ruocheng said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I and the female official met by chance in East Street."
Nan Yan also hurriedly said, "Yes."
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then suddenly put his wine glass on the table with a clatter and said coldly, "I don't care whether your encounter was accidental or not. I just want you to go out and get some information."
Ye Zheng stood behind Zhu Feng, sweating profusely. He couldn't contain himself any longer and said hurriedly, "Yes, Master Jian, Madam Si, have you heard any news about Yongzhou? Report it to the Emperor immediately."
Jian Ruocheng looked up at him and then said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that there is a brother of Madam Tong, the concubine of Prince Jing, who has committed many evil deeds in Yongzhou City. He not only abducts women, but also seizes people's homes, seizes land, and even interferes with border trade."
Although he heard about crimes such as "rapefully kidnapping women" and "occupying houses", Zhu Feng's expression looked slightly better than before.
It seems like I heard good news.
He raised his eyelids slightly: "What's that person's name?"
"My name is Tong Jie."
"Tong Jie..."
He repeated the name slowly, and after a moment, he said, "Any other news?"
Jian Ruocheng turned his head and glanced at Nan Yan.
