Chapter 842 The Queen is Imprisoned
When Nan Yan heard her words, her face turned pale.
She understood that this was called - cutting off the party members.
Zhu Feng has already regarded these officials promoted by King Wei during his regency as his accomplices. Now that he has begun to eliminate these people, it means that Zhu Feng has regarded King Wei's previous actions as treason!
Nan Yan suddenly shuddered.
If it was just dealing with King Wei's men, it would be a small matter.
However, if we want to deal with officials in the court, then this matter will have serious implications!
Ran Xiaoyu said: "The most important thing is that there is a person who was also thrown into prison."
"Who is it?"
"Second Master Jian."
"What?"
Nan Yan widened her eyes—Jian Ruocheng?
He had already been dismissed from office and was unemployed at home, so how could he be implicated in this matter again?
But after thinking about it, Nan Yan understood that Jian Ruocheng was the Grand Secretary of Dongge before, and his status was almost that of a Junior Tutor. It can even be said that if he was not dismissed this time, if the King of Wei successfully became the Crown Prince, he would definitely be the Crown Prince's Junior Tutor!
Therefore, his relationship with the King of Wei was deeper than that with any other minister in the court.
If something happens to the King of Wei, he can't escape even if he is dismissed from office.
But, this won’t work!
Nan Yan frowned, looking at little Anping in her arms, who was still looking at her blankly with his black eyes wide open. She carefully put the child back into the cradle, then pulled up the clothes on one side with her backhand and prepared to put them on.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "My Lady, are you going to——"
"I'm going to see the Emperor."
"No way."
Ran Xiaoyu came over and held her hand: "My Lady, you can't go."
"Xiaoyu?"
Nan Yan looked at her in surprise.
Before, she was still worried and concerned about King Wei, and even expressed her desire to go and help King Wei. But why now that the situation has become worse, she doesn't let herself go?
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Ye Zheng just came over and told us about that matter. He also told the Empress not to go."
"Why?"
"Because, Master Jane."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned.
By the way, Jian Ruocheng...
Zhu Feng had always cared about the relationship between him and Jian Ruocheng from a long time ago. Although Nan Yan knew that there was nothing shameful between them, wasn't it him who was thrown into jail the last time Zhu Feng got jealous?
Ran Xiaoyu said, "Ye Zheng said that the reason he came to tell us this was because he was afraid that this news would be spread to Her Majesty's ears and that Her Majesty would be impulsive."
“…”
"He came to tell the Queen that he hopes the Queen will be cautious."
“…”
"Don't get yourself into this trap at this moment."
“…”
"He said that if things really develop to an irreversible point in the future, the only one who can make the emperor stop may be the queen. So, the queen must not rashly let herself get involved at this time."
“…”
Nan Yan's brows furrowed even tighter.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zheng is so insightful.
After calming down and thinking about it, he was indeed right. Although he was not really sure that he could make Zhu Feng stop, it was true that if he got involved too early, things might really be difficult to handle.
She said worriedly, "But, the prison is not a place for ordinary people to stay."
Ran Xiaoyu sighed softly and said, "I know."
Nan Yan looked up at her.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Therefore, I cannot let Your Majesty be in such danger again."
“…”
She was worried that if she went to plead for mercy, Zhu Feng would think of her past relationship with Jian Ruocheng and might take his anger out on her...
This shouldn't happen.
But, you do have to be careful.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I won't go for now. You should go and rest, and let me think about what to do."
"yes."
Ran Xiaoyu hung her clothes up again and went out.
Nan Yan did not lie down to sleep, but rocked the cradle with one hand to help little Anping fall asleep faster. She leaned against the head of the bed, listening to little Anping's unconscious mumblings, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.
Why did the anti-poetry incident suddenly happen?
Moreover, in less than two or three days, it became such a big fuss.
If this is a wave, it feels like there is an invisible hand behind the scenes fanning the flames.
Although, they couldn't feel yet whether anyone was really doing anything.
But, there is always this feeling.
If this is true, then the situation is very troublesome.
Nan Yan frowned and gradually fell asleep in her troubled mood.

"Your Majesty, the Empress requests an audience."
The candle on the table in the imperial study had just gone out when Eunuch Yu brought Zhu Feng a handkerchief soaked in cold water. He wiped his face and continued to look down at the imperial edict he had just drafted on the table.
At this time, Xiao Shunzi came in to report.
"The Queen?"
When Zhu Feng heard this, his brows furrowed.
She's here again?
Zhu Feng glanced at the imperial edict on the table, slowly closed it, and then said, "Let her in."
"yes."
Soon, Xu Miaoyin walked in from outside.
She walked to the imperial desk and bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, your concubine pays homage."
Zhu Feng had a gloomy face. Even in the not-too-bright light, one could still see that he hadn't slept for the past two days, and his eyes were bloodshot.
There was a faint smell of a wild beast.
He said in a deep voice: "What are you doing here again?"
“…”
"I've already told you to stay in Yonghe Palace and don't come out!"
Xu Miaoyin knelt on the ground and said softly, "I came here this time to ask the emperor to agree to let me go to prison and accompany the king of Wei."
"What? You want to go to jail and accompany the King of Wei?"
When Zhu Feng heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "You want me to release him, so you are willing to use such means to threaten me?"
"I dare not!"
Xu Miaoyin hurriedly said, "I have only been facing the wall in Yonghe Palace, reflecting on my mistakes. I have thought clearly. The Prince of Wei was raised under my guidance. Now that he has done something wrong and angered the Emperor, it is my fault for not disciplining him strictly."
“…”
"Besides, a place like the Heavenly Prison is cold and damp. The King of Wei is still young and weak. I am really worried about him."
“…”
"Therefore, I ask His Majesty to allow me to go to the prison and take care of the King of Wei."
“…”
"Your Majesty, please grant me your permission."
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, then said, "Do you really think so?"
"Please grant me your blessing, Your Majesty."
“…”
Xiao Shunzi and Eunuch Yu, who were standing by and serving, were also shocked at this time. After all, they all knew that the Queen was only the Prince of Wei's biological mother, but they did not expect that she would go this far for a son who was not her biological son.
Emperor, will you really agree?
