Chapter 2290: Confer the title of Xue Yun on her and show her
"What I am more worried about is that even if it is not instigation, this matter has already become a big deal, and it may become the next way for someone to provoke the emperor."
“…”
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered slightly.
Indeed, the person behind the scenes has great power and a long reach, but it seems that his strength is not enough at the moment.
At least, it is not enough to fight against the imperial court.
Therefore, he would pick problems in the east and in the west, wanting to expend his energy to the greatest extent possible, while this person would reap the benefits.
But this is interesting.
Zhu Feng's face revealed a gloomy smile. After a long silence, he said coldly, "This person has been behind the scenes the entire time. The ones he sent out were just pawns. Just finding these pawns is completely useless."
“…”
"The more he's willing to take action, the better."
“…”
"Only by grasping his hand can we pull him out of the darkness."
Ye Zheng said hurriedly, "That's what I meant."
Zhu Feng looked up at him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately understood. He said, "Why, do you want to deal with those mulberry farmers causing trouble?"
Ye Zheng said: "I eat the emperor's salary and bear the emperor's worries."
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "It's not a big deal right now. Besides, that person might not take advantage of this to take action. You don't have to be so anxious."
Ye Zheng said: "What if it is true?"
“…”
"If that's true, I'll have to ask the Emperor for permission."
Zhu Feng glanced at him, was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Do you really want to run away? Although that person's strength is not strong, he has too many conspiracies and tricks. Let you go-"
Ye Zheng immediately said, "Your Majesty, are you worried about me?"
Zhu Feng glared at him.
Then he said coldly: "I am afraid that something bad will happen to you, and Ran Xiaoyu will cause chaos in the palace."
Hearing this, Ye Zheng's eyes lit up.
He immediately curled his lips and said, "She is so devoted to the Imperial Concubine that she doesn't even care about me."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng's expression changed slightly.
But the next moment, he lowered his head again, gently coaxed the swaddled little Cheng Jun, and then said: "She is wholeheartedly devoted to being the imperial concubine, so it is naturally good."
Ye Zheng glanced at him cautiously, then coughed lightly and said righteously, "Being too single-minded isn't a good thing. Once a person is single-minded, their mind might get clouded and their brain might become useless."
“…”
"When a person's brain is damaged, he will do all sorts of immoral things and still think he is righteous."
“…”
When Zhu Feng heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly.
There's obviously more to this statement than meets the eye.
He raised his head and looked at Ye Zheng, his eyes flickering: "What do you want to say?"
"This, your humble servant has said, but Your Majesty, please do not be angry."
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush in front of me."
Ye Zheng walked forward and told Zhu Feng in detail what Ran Xiaoyu had told him.
Zhu Feng listened and his face darkened.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire imperial study became depressing. The little prince Chengjun in the cradle seemed to have sensed something. He had been noisy before, but now he opened his black eyes wide and stared at his father.
After a long while, Zhu Feng slowly said, "So, it was that girl named Nian Qiu who did it."
"That's right."
"She, as a noble concubine, took the blame for a slave girl."
"yes."
"He fell ill and deliberately refused to allow the imperial physician to treat him."
"yes."
"She, what is she going to do!"
When he said this, he couldn't help but exert force with the hand holding the imperial pen. With a "snap" sound, the pen tube was broken by him, and cinnabar immediately stained his hand.
Ye Zheng was so frightened that he trembled and stood up straight.
The cinnabar splashed everywhere and even sprinkled a few drops on the face of the cradle little prince Cheng Jun. He seemed to be frightened and opened his black eyes wide. He was originally babbling, but now he became quiet.
Zhu Feng looked down at him and immediately asked, "What? Are you scared?"
“…”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Father doesn't want to hit you."
Originally he was worried that the child was frightened, but the next moment, he saw little Chengjun frowning and making a whining sound, like a little tiger.
Not only was he not afraid, he seemed to be excited.
Zhu Feng was stunned.
He saw two small hands stretched out from the swaddling clothes, scratching and grabbing. He subconsciously lowered his head, and the child grabbed his chin. Although for a baby, it was considered strong, but for him, it was just a tickle.
The child was still gurgling in his mouth.
Like saying something.
Zhu Feng lowered his head and looked at him seriously for a long time.
Ye Zheng also stretched his neck to look.
After a long silence, Zhu Feng suddenly said, "Yufu!"
Eunuch Yu hurried in from outside. Zhu Feng said, "Take the prince downstairs to wash his face. It's getting late, and he should be asleep. Have someone watch over him to make sure he doesn't pee again in the middle of the night."
"yes."
Eunuch Yu hurried forward, took the swaddling clothes of the still squirming little prince, glanced at Ye Zheng again, and turned to leave.
Only after the child was taken away did Zhu Feng look up at Ye Zheng again.
Although his expression was still gloomy, his aura was calmer than before.
He said, "Did Ran Xiaoyu tell you about this?"
"yes."
"If she doesn't tell me, does the imperial concubine intend to keep it a secret?"
"I'm afraid so."
"What does she want to do?!"
Seeing Zhu Feng's face becoming ugly again, Ye Zheng rolled his eyes, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
“…”
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is being too unreasonable. She has made herself so wronged, and is clearly embarrassing Your Majesty."
“…”
"She even refused to summon the imperial physician when she fell ill. Humph, she's currently in confinement after giving birth. If she develops a persistent illness and becomes ill in the future, it will become the Emperor's fault."
“…”
"Besides, even if the emperor keeps Xue Yun in the imperial study, so what? When the imperial concubine was still a female official in the imperial court, didn't she often stay overnight in the Wuying Palace? The empress didn't care about her, but now she is controlling others."
“…”
"The Emperor just conferred the title on Xue Yun, and let her see it!"
Zhu Feng glared at him and said in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Seeing him like this, Ye Zheng blinked.
And then, he said earnestly: "Your Majesty, women cannot be favored alone."
“…”
"Just like Ran Xiaoyu, if I were a little softer, she would have ridden on me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Feng suddenly stood up and walked out of the imperial study without saying a word.
Ye Zheng hurried forward and chased to the door. He saw Zhu Feng walking straight towards the bedroom. He stuck out his tongue and walked away with a smile.
