Chapter 1302 I am your Li Bushang!
In the camp, bonfires everywhere slowly started burning, the sky was getting darker and darker, but this area was as bright as day.
Everyone is still busy.
Of course, the emperor didn't have to move.
Someone had already built a tent for him, and it was fully equipped with the same utensils as living in a fine house. However, he was not very willing to go in. Instead, he sat in front of the tent and watched over a campfire.
After the fall, it is a little cool in the evening, but it is still very hot so close to the fire.
In addition, his body was originally strong and his blood was hot, so after leaning like this for a while, sweat started to appear on his forehead.
However, the palms of my hands were cold.
A pair of eyes stared quietly at the flames in front of him. The flames were reflected in his eyes, constantly fluttering, but his eyes were quiet, even a little frozen.
At this time, Xu Miaoyin walked over and offered him a cup of hot tea.
"Your Majesty, please have a cup of tea."
Zhu Feng looked up at her and took it from her. "Why would you let the Queen do such a small thing herself?"
Then he pointed to the cushion beside him and motioned for her to sit down.
Xu Miaoyin smiled, sat down next to him, and said softly, "We've been sitting in the carriage all the way. It's rare for us to get up and move around."
"Um."
Zhu Feng didn't seem to be in the mood to talk and just took a sip of tea.
Even when traveling, the emperor would naturally be prepared with good tea. But for some reason, these days, no matter how good the tea was, he would only taste bitterness, without any sweetness at all.
If drinking tea is about the mood, and tasting tea is about savouring life, does that mean that his current mood and life are as bitter as what he tasted?
how so?
When he thought of this, the indescribable nameless fire in his heart began to burn again, reflecting the flickering bonfire in front of him, making him feel trapped inside and out, hot and restless.
Seeing his frown, Xu Miaoyin said softly, "What's wrong with the emperor?"
“…”
"But I'm still worried about what happened in Jinling before."
That, of course, is also a worrying thing.
Although a subsequent sacrifice at the ruins of Chong'en Pagoda completely shattered the other party's plan to use his life experience to defeat him, the mastermind behind the scenes still did not show up.
And now, he seemed to have disappeared.
This man is elusive and constantly causes trouble for himself at sea, in Jiaodong, in Peking, and in Nanjing. However, he never appears in front of him and confronts him head-on. Is he afraid to do so, or is he still planning something behind his back?
This was obviously the thing that gave the emperor the most headaches, but when he thought of this, Zhu Feng felt a little relieved.
He was never afraid of enemies.
The only thing he couldn't defeat was the inner demon in his memory, and now, the number of inner demons seemed to have increased by one.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Now that the Jinling incident is over, the Queen doesn't need to worry anymore. Just take good care of the harem."
“…”
These words seem to have a specific meaning.
Xu Miaoyin subconsciously glanced around.
Unfortunately, it was already dark at this time, and low-ranking palace maids and eunuchs were not allowed to get close to the area where the emperor and concubines moved, so she could not see the figures of some people.
I could only sigh, "Yes."
At this time, Feng Qianyan on the other side had changed her clothes and walked out to sit in front of the campfire.
She caught a cold after falling into the water and kept sneezing.
Seeing this, Xu Miaoyin ordered, "Call the imperial physician to come and see Concubine Ning. Make sure she doesn't catch a cold and get sick."
"yes."
The young eunuch immediately ran over to call for help.

In the silent woods, the light grew dimmer and dimmer.
Nan Yan looked at the pair of eyes that had become brighter. They really were like a wolf stalking its prey in the night, shining as it stared at her.
She knew clearly that he would not hurt her and that she did not need to be afraid of him, but at this moment, she still trembled uncontrollably.
After a while, Li Bushang said, "You know."
“……!”
really!
Nan Yan took a deep breath: "It's really you!"
“…”
"Why?"
Li Bushang looked at her: "Why are you doing this?"
“…”
"It's because she still won't let you go and is still trying to hurt you. I'm doing this just to help you."
"But--"
Nan Yan looked at him with a complicated expression: "You, aren't you the emperor's Jinyiwei? Shouldn't you follow the rules when doing things? Why did you attack Concubine Ning? Aren't you afraid of—"
Li Bushang looked at her gravely and said word by word: "I am Li Bushang."
“…”
"I am your Li Bushang!"
“…”
"I will not let anyone who hurts you go, even if that person is——"
Having said this, he paused, probably sensing the fear in Nan Yan's eyes. He swallowed the rest of his words and was silent for a moment before continuing, "Anyway, I will protect you."
“…”
Nan Yan stared at him in silence for a moment. The finger pricked by the splinter no longer hurt, but it still felt a bit of a burning sensation. She turned her head away, avoiding his gaze, and said softly, "I'm fine now. The only thing I'm worried about is Xin Ping."
Li Bushang looked at her and said, "You don't have to worry."
“…”
"The Queen has always asked the Prince of Wei to take care of Princess Xinping. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is very kind to the princess and takes great care of her."
Hearing this, Nan Yan smiled slightly and said, "I know he's a good kid. I feel at ease with him around. I just—"
"Just what?"
"I just want to see my daughter."
When he said this, his eyes turned red.
After all, she is her own daughter. She hasn't seen her since she was banished to the cold palace. It would be a lie to say that she doesn't miss her. Many times at night, her eyes are swollen from crying because she misses her so much.
Li Bushang looked at her, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "I can bring the princess to see you."
"real?"
Nan Yan was shocked and looked at him in astonishment: "Is it really possible?"
Li Bushang said: "I am now with the King of Wei. At night, after the princess goes to sleep, I can secretly bring her out and let you see her. But -"
He leaned close to her ear and said, "Don't let anyone know."
"certainly!"
"Then, let's make a deal here. At midnight tonight, don't tell anyone, not even Ran Xiaoyu, and come here secretly."
"good!"
Nan Yan was very happy that she could see Xinping like this.
After the agreement, Li Bushan left first. She found some firewood in the woods, pretended nothing had happened, and returned to the camp.
However, as soon as I got there, I realized that the atmosphere was not right.
There was a joyful atmosphere in the tent of the emperor and his concubines. Many people gathered there, talking and laughing loudly.
