Chapter 3569 Meeting
The day passed in the blink of an eye.
On the day of the meeting, Zhu Feng and Nan Yan both got up early in the morning to wash and dress, but Nan Yan was much faster. She had already finished washing and looked back to see Zhu Feng had just put on his clothes. The people who came to serve him were also very careful, for fear of touching him. But even so, if he even raised his hand, the wound on his chest would be affected.
Nan Yan couldn't help but frown and said, "Get out of the way."
The palace maids and eunuchs who came to serve immediately lowered their heads and stepped back.
Nan Yan walked over, carefully put the coat on him, and then gently tied the belt. When she looked up, although Zhu Feng looked normal, a layer of fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead and his face was a little pale.
Nan Yan asked, "Is the Emperor really going there today?"
They were like this even though they were only wearing one piece of clothing. They still had a long way to go from the military camp.
If there is any accident today, Zhu Feng will definitely be affected.
Hearing her question, Zhu Feng just glanced at her calmly and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
In the past two days, Nan Yan, Cui Yuanmei, Xiang Yuanbo and others have been trying every possible way to hint to Zhu Feng that he should get more rest. If there is nothing important in this meeting, he does not need to go. But no matter what they say, Zhu Feng remains unmoved.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan could only sigh and give up.
After Nan Yan helped him finish washing up, the servants immediately brought him breakfast, which was also some light millet porridge and porridge dishes. Zhu Feng simply ate some of it with the help of the servants, and then asked someone to clear away the dishes. Looking at the time, it was almost time to set off.
Just then, someone came from outside to report that King Han and Princess Xinping had arrived.
Nan Yan frowned when she heard this.
When she came here three days ago, she had already anticipated that Zhu Feng might be injured, so she asked Zhu Chengjun to stay in the South Courtyard. On the one hand, she wanted him to have a rest, and on the other hand, she didn't want Xinping to come along and cause trouble. However, she didn't expect that these two children were so disobedient and came here without permission.
But, the person has already come and there is no way to drive him out.
Zhu Feng sat on the chair and said softly, "Let them in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Chengjun and Xinping hurried in from outside. The two children didn't even have time to salute. When they saw Zhu Feng's pale face and obvious chest injury, they immediately rushed over: "Father!"
Xinping's eyes suddenly turned red: "Father, you are injured!"
Zhu Feng smiled faintly and said, "It's just a minor injury."
Zhu Chengjun stood aside with a look of regret on his face. Although he followed Zhu Feng's order and returned to the South Courtyard to tell his mother not to worry, he actually guessed that his father might be injured and had been unable to sleep or eat for the past few days. He didn't expect to see Zhu Feng like this. He should have come earlier.
He said softly, "It's all my fault for not living up to my expectations."
“…”
"If, if I could handle it on my own, Father wouldn't have to—"
Zhu Feng's expression turned slightly more serious when he looked at him, but he simply said, "If you want to be independent, that's fine."
“…”
"But being able to stand on your own is not just talk. If you want to stand on your own, you need to have such ability. Only then can I let you go out without worry. After this experience, you should have made some progress. In the future, you must also make even greater progress."
Zhu Chengjun looked at him with red eyes: "Your son will!"
Nan Yan, who was watching them like this, could only sigh and ask in a blaming tone, "Who asked you to come here?"
Xinping pursed his lips and turned back to say, "Mother has been here for three days, and there's no news back. Of course I'm worried. Father has never been like this before!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but reach out to touch Zhu Feng's wound, but she didn't dare.
Nan Yan said from the side: "Don't touch it. Your father's wound hasn't healed yet. If it's bumped a little, it will split open."
Upon hearing this, Xinping immediately pulled his hand back as if burned, and looked at Zhu Feng eagerly, his eyes red. Zhu Chengjun, who was standing by, heard this and looked at Zhu Feng's neatly dressed appearance, and immediately said, "Then, Father, are you going out again today? You have a three-day appointment with the King of Yue. Are you going there in person today?"
Zhu Feng said: "Yeah."
Xinping immediately said, "Father is so badly injured, how can he still go out?"
Nan Yan glared at Zhu Feng, as if to say: Look, even children are more sensible than you.
Seeing his daughter's anxious look, Zhu Feng's smile softened. He pretended not to notice Nan Yan's cold and stern expression and said softly, "Silly girl, this is a serious matter. I am the ruler of a country, how can I not ask about it? But you can all rest assured. I am only going over to take a look today. Someone else has taken care of delivering the letter of credence."
Xinping asked, "Who is it?"
Zhu Feng then glanced at Nan Yan who was standing behind her and said, "Of course it's your mother."
Xinping also glanced back, as if relieved, but immediately said, "Since the emperor is going, then I will follow him. I will go together to protect the emperor!"
Zhu Chengjun said: "I, your son, want to go too!"
Zhu Feng and Nan Yan looked at each other.
Neither of them scolded him at first. Nan Yan felt that Zhu Feng always made her worry in the past, and with two children by his side, he might be more "obedient". Zhu Feng, on the other hand, thought that the two children were already old, especially Zhu Chengjun who wanted to be independent, so it would be a good idea to let him see the world.
As for peace of mind——
After such a long time, it’s probably time for the father and daughter to resolve their misunderstanding.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Feng said, "You can go if you want."
Nan Yan continued, "But you must be obedient and do whatever you are told. Xinping, since you want to 'protect' your father, then stay by his side and don't run around!"
The two children had not expected it to be so smooth, and immediately responded happily: "As you command!"
So, the family of four set out from the military camp.
This time, Zhu Feng did not ride a horse, but sat in a carriage with the imperial concubine and two children, with a thick mattress underneath them. However, it was hot outside and stuffy in the carriage, so naturally he broke out in a sweat. Xinping sat beside him, constantly fanning him with a fan, which did cool him down a lot.
The team marched forward in a mighty force, and after walking for half an hour, they finally stopped in front of the steep north slope.
Nan Yan got off the carriage first.
When I looked up, I saw the familiar scenery in front of me.
Just like the scene of the previous meeting between Zhu Feng and Li Wu Yu, they built a high platform on the steep north slope, and each country sent a group of troops to guard it. On this side, they also built a shed, and placed tables, chairs and tea.
But this time, the people who went were different.
