Chapter 2114 I have my own decision
After Zhu Chengxuan finished speaking, the entire Yiku Palace fell into a deathly silence.
There were so many people, and I couldn't even hear a single breath.
Even Zhu Chengxuan himself was suffocating.
He himself could hardly believe that he had the guts to say such words in front of his father and so many people, revealing all the extravagant hopes in his heart that he dared not see the light of day and did not dare to believe he could achieve.
At this moment, although he was still kneeling there, his breathing was stagnant and there was no movement at all.
But inside, the world was already shaking.
His self-confidence and courage are undergoing unprecedented tests at this moment, and the final judge is not himself.
But it was the man in front of him with a serious face, flickering eyes, and no words.
His father.
Zhu Feng still didn't say anything, just looked at him solemnly.
Zhu Chengxuan almost felt as if a layer of skin had been peeled off his whole body. Cold sweat soaked his clothes. All five senses in his body almost disappeared. The only thing he could still feel was the hand that was tightly held by Gu Qiqing.
He slowly turned his head and saw the other person looking at him with a smile.
This was the first time he saw admiration and even a hint of worship in the eyes of others.
From childhood to adulthood, he has been cared for and cherished by others, and some people even flatter him to the utmost, but it has always been because of his identity. He deeply understands that he has no strengths and is not worthy of others' praise or respect.
This is the first time.
Moreover, I saw this look in the eyes of the person in my heart.
Although at this moment, he still didn't know what fate he would face next, and didn't know how his father, who he thought was strict, would deal with him, but with such eyes, he felt that no matter what difficulties and hardships he encountered, he could keep going.
So, he held Gu Qiqing's hand tightly.
It was not until this time that Zhu Feng took some action.
He held onto the armrests on both sides of the chair and sat up a little straighter.
Just now, when the King of Wei said those words to him, he leaned forward. For many people, this might be just a simple gesture, but Zhu Feng - he was tall and burly, and no matter in his eyes, face, or body, he exuded an invisible sense of suffocating oppression.
When he leaned forward and looked at someone, he looked like a crouching tiger.
Examining his prey.
He is more oppressive than usual.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Chengxuan said firmly what he wanted to say without missing a word.
Zhu Feng sat up straight and looked at him quietly for a while.
The people around him didn't dare to say a word, not even to breathe, they just looked at him quietly.
Waiting for him to pronounce the verdict, to pronounce the fate of King Wei.
It could also be a pronouncement on the fate of the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
Xu Miaoyin was supported by Concubine Shun. Looking at her legitimate son and hearing the words just now, she suddenly felt very relieved. She even felt that even if she didn't get what she wanted, it didn't seem to matter.
What is more important than having courage and responsibility?
She looked at Zhu Feng quietly.
Nan Yan, also standing beside the Queen, was almost suffocating at this moment, staring at Zhu Feng's deep eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Feng spoke.
But he said: "Come, take the King of Wei back to Chengqian Palace."
“……!”
Everyone around was shocked.
After hearing what King Wei said, even if everyone was not deeply moved, they were at least shocked by his courage. Everyone originally thought that Zhu Feng would either agree to him or reject him coldly and ruthlessly.
But no one could have imagined that he just ordered someone to take the King of Wei back to Chengqian Palace.
Xu Miaoyin subconsciously took a step forward: "Your Majesty...?"
But, before she could speak, and before anyone else could react, Zhu Feng simply said, "Everyone else, don't say anything!"
When he said this, Xu Miaoyin's words were abruptly interrupted.
Zhu Chengxuan was also stunned.
He looked up at his father, wondering what he was thinking. Was he completely indifferent to what he said?
He said softly: "Father, your son——"
"Let's go back to Chengqian Palace first."
Zhu Feng's voice was deep and filled with irresistible majesty. However, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry at the moment. He only said calmly to the King of Wei, "I will make the decision myself."
“…”
Zhu Chengxuan frowned, and at this time, several servants had already walked to his side.
He said carefully, "Your Highness, please."
He gritted his teeth and slowly stood up, but he was still holding Gu Qiqing's hand. This was the hand he was most reluctant to let go of, and he was afraid that once he let go, the Gu family would marry her off to someone else at will, and if that happened, it would be difficult to salvage the relationship.
However, before he could say anything, Zhu Feng said, "Go back."
“…”
"I will arrange the rest."
Hearing him say this, Zhu Chengxuan looked at Gu Qiqing hesitantly. The latter was very calm. He let go of his hand and nodded at him with a smile.
After hearing his words, Gu Qiqing was also filled with courage.
I feel like there’s nothing to be afraid of.
As long as they have the courage, she believes that they can eventually be together. So, since they can be together, what does it matter if they are separated for a while.
She mouthed silently: Don't worry.
Zhu Chengxuan finally nodded, let go of her hand, saluted Zhu Feng, then turned and walked to the door.
Seeing the empress with a pale face and tears in her eyes, and the imperial concubine and the concubine Shun looking at him with relieved expressions, he also bowed.
Then left.
The people kneeling outside didn't dare to look up. They just watched the corner of King Wei's clothes fluttering past them. After a gust of wind, the man was gone.
They didn't dare look up.
There was also silence in the Yikun Palace.
Gu Tingqiu didn't say a word from beginning to end, but after listening to King Wei's confession, his heart as hard as iron also began to throb a little.
Before, he had told the imperial concubine that the King of Wei was too kind and cowardly to handle such a heavy responsibility.
This time, it was——
He was silent for a long time, then looked at Zhu Feng and suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe Your Majesty has important matters to attend to tonight. I will take them with me and take my leave first."
After saying this, he kowtowed and was about to leave with Gu Yiyou and the others.
Although Gu Qiqing was still reluctant to leave, he had no choice but to stay with his father.
Just as they were about to reach the door, Zhu Feng suddenly said, "Gu Aiqing."
"I am here."
"I don't like to meddle in my subjects' family affairs, but there is one thing I want to tell you."
"Your Majesty, please give your orders."
Zhu Feng glanced at Gu Qiqing and said in a light tone: "Daughter, you are meant to be loved."
