Chapter 1183 You, can’t say it either?
Seeing this, Eunuch Yu, who was following behind him, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, Zhu Feng said, "The imperial concubine went to the Yanxi Palace, right?"
"Well?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Yu panicked. He had not immediately gone to him to complain, so how did he know?
But just thinking about it makes me feel like a complete fool.
The emperor is the master of this imperial city. Although he may not know every little thing that happens, he will definitely know what he wants to know.
And he would definitely not ignore the movements of the imperial concubine.
Eunuch Yu thought for a moment and said softly, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is a bit capricious, but Your Majesty has given her the power to assist in managing the harem. In this harem, if anything goes against the rules, she can indeed take care of it."
“…”
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows and looked back at him.
He said, "So, you're telling me that it's against the rules for me to ask you to deliver something to the Yanxi Palace?"
"I dare not."
Eunuch Yu was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back and he quickly took a step back.
Seeing his cautious look, Zhu Feng looked back at the gate of Yanxi Palace. After a long silence, he murmured, "But, this is indeed against the rules."
“…”
"I just can't bear to see Xinqing say that."
These words of his didn't seem to be spoken to others, but rather as if he was talking to himself. Eunuch Yu naturally didn't dare to say anything more. He could only hold his breath and follow him carefully.
After walking for a while, Zhu Feng didn't look back and suddenly asked, "Why did I marry her?"
"ah?"
Eunuch Yu was caught off guard and was stunned when he heard this question.
The next moment, Zhu Feng continued, "Why did she give birth to a child for me, but then gave it to the Queen to raise?"
“…”
A drop of cold sweat slid down Eunuch Yu's forehead.
Although he had known for a long time that Qin Ruolan had taken advantage of Zhu Feng's amnesia to tell him a lot about the past, and sometimes, when saying some things, as long as the right techniques were used, the truth would be a thousand miles away.
This has become a common trick in the harem.
Eunuch Yu didn't dare to speak, but the emperor had already asked. He followed Zhu Feng, sweat dripping with every step.
After walking for a while, I didn't get a response.
Zhu Feng stopped and turned to look at him, his eyes indifferent and a little cold: "Why, you don't want to tell me, and you want to hide it from me too?"
"This—I dare not."
"Or, do you also want to say something to me—can't you say it?"
Eunuch Yu was somewhat puzzled by these words. He certainly didn't know that these were the words Qin Ruolan had said when Zhu Feng asked her about Nan Yan in Changqing City - Concubine, I can't say it.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, this—this servant really can't say it."
“……!”
Zhu Feng frowned.
He paused, and his conversational tone turned into an order: "Speak!"

After the rain that day, it continued to drizzle for two days, and then the sky cleared up.
The charcoal sent to the Yanxi Palace had no chance to dry at all.
After the spring came, the weather became hot again very quickly, so there was naturally no chance to use the charcoal anymore. But after several attempts, Qin Ruolan finally caught a cold and fell ill.
However, given her status, the Imperial Medical Bureau naturally would not allow high-ranking imperial physicians to come and treat her. Of course, a favored woman in the palace would be flattered even if she had no status. But after she fell ill, Zhu Feng went to the Yanx Palace twice, both times to visit Concubine De, and he didn't even enter the left hall of the Yanx Palace once.
The people in the palace would naturally change their attitudes according to the situation, so no one would care about her.
The words reached Xu Miaoyin's ears.
She took a sip of hot tea and said calmly, "Don't let her get too sick. It would be bad if it turns into an epidemic. Just ask the Imperial Hospital to send someone over to take a look."
Chun Er accepted the order and said, "Yes."
Concubine Hui Li Pan'er, who had just come to Yonghe Palace to pay her respects to the Empress and was sitting beside her to chat, immediately said, "Your Majesty is truly kind-hearted."
Xu Miaoyin curled the corners of her lips slightly.
But Li Pan'er said again: "But Your Majesty, the Emperor has been running to the cold palace all day these days, and it's a bit..."
As she spoke, an unhappy look appeared on her face.
After all, she was still young and had only been in the palace for a short time. Although she knew how many troubles the emperor had caused by doting on the imperial concubine, she could not help but feel resentful because the emperor treated her so unevenly.
Xu Miaoyin glanced at her and could only calm her down: "In this harem, you can take care of the affairs of Jianfu Palace. When you have time, you can also help me manage the people below. But there is one thing you absolutely cannot control, and that is where the emperor rests."
“…”
Li Pan'er was stunned by what she said.
Although she was still not convinced, she could only lower her head: "Concubine, I understand."
Xu Miaoyin sighed again and said, "Besides, the emperor has had enough troubles these days, so please don't make things more difficult for him."
The concubines on the other side listened and raised their heads.
Although the harem cannot interfere in politics, that does not mean that no news can come in.
Among Zhu Feng's harem, apart from Si Nanyan who was "promoted" by him alone, there were also Xu Miaoyin and others who had served in the Prince of Yan's Mansion before he ascended the throne. The other concubines were almost all daughters of officials, so it was impossible for them not to care about these things.
Someone whispered, "The Empress is talking about things not being peaceful in the old imperial capital lately, right?"
The old imperial capital is Jinling.
Xu Miaoyin sighed.
Li Pan'er also frowned and said, "Someone from my hometown has also sent back word that the customs of the people have changed. In particular, some people have taken the lead in causing trouble, and several times they have almost come into confrontation with the government."
Her brother was the Imperial Censor Li Ziyun, who was also from a prominent family who had followed Emperor Gao in conquering the world.
Naturally, I am more sensitive to these things than others.
The newly appointed Consort Kang, Feng Qianyan, also whispered, "How could the government not be able to do anything about them?"
Xu Miaoyin frowned slightly and said nothing.
Li Pan'er said carelessly, "If you ask me, it's because the emperor is too kind. He gave those scholars so many courtesies, but in the end they talked behind his back. If it were Emperor Gao, he wouldn't have given them a chance to speak."
Xu Miaoyin said in a deep voice: "What nonsense!"
Li Pan'er stood up hurriedly: "Empress..."
Xu Miaoyin said, "The Emperor treats scholars with courtesy because he knows that scholars are the pillars of the country. Whether in the court or anywhere else, they are indispensable. Are you asking me to punish you for making such a mess of political discussions?"
Li Pan'er lowered her head in fear: "I dare not."
