Chapter 2695 Do the two of them have this?
When Zhu Feng returned to the room, it was almost midnight. He quietly pushed open the door and saw that Nan Yan was already asleep. There was only a candle waiting for him in the room.
Because he was busy all day and the wind was strong, he went to take a bath first.
He returned to the room and climbed onto the bed carefully. As soon as he lay down, a soft and warm body leaned over. He hugged her and looked down. Nan Yan was half asleep and had rolled into his arms. Half asleep, she asked in a sweet voice, "Is the Emperor back?"
"Well, go to sleep."
Although she said this, Nan Yan was quiet for a while and then opened her eyes.
Listening to the noise outside, he said, "It's so late."
"There's a lot going on today."
"I heard that the emperor has already settled those families."
"They have been resettled, but meeting these people will take time. Besides, the formal talks won't begin until tomorrow. Before that, many things need to be clarified."
Nan Yan said, "One person is dead, two are imprisoned, and there are only two people left. Who will talk to us?"
"Of course it's the young master of the Song family."
Zhu Feng perked up a bit after mentioning this. Nan Yan also saw that his eyes were shining in the candlelight. She said softly, "I've also heard that Mr. Song is very impressive and seems to be an extraordinary person. The emperor also talked with him for quite a while today."
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "I didn't expect that a small city like Bailong City would have some talented people."
"The Emperor intends to use him?"
"Since their family advocates surrendering the city, they should naturally give some rewards. Hiring someone from their family is the most respectable reward, and this person is also of good character."
“…”
"In the future, when I manage the Western Regions, I will need people who know the Northwest better."
Nan Yan nodded.
Originally, Zhu Feng was planning to make use of Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian. Unfortunately, Tong Sinian had a broken hand, so it was difficult for him to enter the official career. Gu Yiyou and he had a deep brotherly relationship, and they stood together through thick and thin. They went to the Parthian Empire together with the special envoy group. Although it was a good use of their talents, it was still a bit of a pity.
These families in Bailong City have always maintained trade relations with the countries in the Western Regions. Letting them participate in the affairs of the Western Regions is indeed mutually beneficial.
Nan Yan said, "Since their family has already agreed to surrender the city, what else is there to discuss?"
Zhu Feng sighed deeply and said, "Although he agreed to surrender the city, he will definitely still fight for the interests that should be fought for for the people in the city, such as future taxes and soldiers. I will not establish any other protectorates in the northwest, and Bailong City will be directly placed under the jurisdiction of the Shazhou Guard. How to strike a balance between the two sides will also be something he will argue with Chen Zixiao about."
Nan Yan asked, "The Emperor asked Master Chen to talk to him?"
"Of course. Do you still want me to talk to you?"
“…Oh, that’s right.”
Nan Yan smiled to herself and felt a little confused.
Although Zhu Feng had been overseeing this matter, it was impossible for the emperor to discuss these matters with the people of a city in person. The specific negotiation matters were naturally left to the ministers.
Zhu Feng said, "It's also because I didn't think it through before coming here. Otherwise, I should have brought one or two people from the cabinet with me."
“…”
"It's best to let them handle these things."
Nan Yan said, "There aren't many people in the cabinet to begin with. If the emperor were to withdraw more people, it would be difficult for the Prince of Wei to do his job."
Speaking of this, Zhu Feng sighed and then frowned.
He said in a deep voice: "Difficult? It's good to know that it's difficult. He is good at making trouble."
"Um?"
Nan Yan felt that the tone of the words was not right, so she turned to look at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, what's wrong? What happened again?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then looked down at her and said, "It's nothing. Once I finish dealing with things here, we'll set off back early."
Nan Yan looked at him, and there were some tired lines at the corners of her eyes.
It was obvious that he was very tired, so he didn't even want to talk about anything that was too upsetting.
So she said softly, "I understand."
As she spoke, she placed her hand on his chest and gently stroked it downwards to help him breathe more easily.
Feeling that soft little hand caressing his chest gently with a very comfortable strength, Zhu Feng also felt that the stuffiness in his chest seemed to be smoothed out a little. He looked down at Nan Yan and smiled gently.
The two of them just snuggled together, neither waking nor sleeping.
After a while, Zhu Feng suddenly said, "By the way, Xie Jiaojiao came to see you. What did you talk about?"
When this was mentioned, Nan Yan also became excited.
She opened her eyes, looked at Zhu Feng, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, take a guess."
Zhu Feng glanced at her, raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "What else is there to guess? Isn't it just Li Bushang's business?"
"The Emperor also knows?"
"I'm not that slow."
Zhu Feng said, "When Li Bushang brought a few of them to see me during the day, it was Xie Jiaojiao who seemed to have her eyes glued to him. Even when she was kneeling before me, she couldn't let go of him."
“…”
"It's like this, and I still can't see it?"
He said, and then shook his head: "I have never seen a woman like this."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Who says there are only shy girls in the world? There are also girls who can be straightforward and frank. They can just say who they like without hiding anything."
Zhu Feng looked down at her and said, "Did she tell you straight?"
"Um."
"So what do you say?"
Nan Yan said, "I still hold the same attitude as before. If Li Bushang could get married and start a family soon, I would naturally be happy to see him. And this girl...it's like God created her for this person."
Zhu Feng said, "You mean, she can drive away wolves?"
"The Emperor also knows?"
"I heard it from someone."
"Your Majesty, don't you think so? The two of them, one can drive away wolves, and the other is like a wolf. Isn't this a match made in heaven?"
“…”
"If Li Bushan can really marry Miss Xie, apart from anything else, it will also be beneficial to him."
Zhu Feng glanced at her and asked, "Why, do you need me to arrange a marriage for them?"
When Nan Yan heard this, she hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no."
“…”
"Your Majesty, I've already said this. No matter how much we hope, this matter is ultimately Li Bu Shang's own business. We can hope, but the final decision is still his own."
“…”
"Besides, if there's no affection between a man and a woman, what will sustain them for the rest of their lives?"
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered.
She said, "That's right. Things between men and women can be complicated or simple, but no matter how simple it is, you can't ignore that little bit of emotion. Otherwise, the rest of your life facing each other will be more tormenting than anything else."
“…”
"Look at them, do they have this?"
