Chapter 3485 Trouble
The Chen brothers, standing under the carriage, were still waiting respectfully for the king's orders. They felt something was wrong and looked up, only to see that Li Wu Yu's face was pale, his eyes were bulging like dead fish eyes, his tongue was stiff, and there was a constant gurgling sound in his throat.
"His Majesty?"
The two of them looked at each other and felt something was wrong. Just at this moment, Xiahou Jiu also dismounted and walked over. Seeing Li Wuyu like this, he immediately panicked: "Your Majesty, why are you--"
Before he could finish his words, Li Wu Yu suddenly fell headfirst from the carriage.
"His Majesty!"
The people around were in chaos and rushed forward, but it was too late. Li Wu Yu fell headfirst to the ground, knocking over an incense burner next to the carriage. It was soon trampled away and disappeared.
Hu Mei'er was also panicked and hurriedly got off the carriage: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Xiahou Jiu helped Li Wu Yu up, only to see that his face was pale and gray, his lips were bloodless and opened and closed several times, a trickle of dark red blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, and sweat was pouring down.
Feeling something was wrong, Xiahou Jiu immediately shouted, "Call the imperial physician over! Hurry and call the imperial physician!"
However, their trip this time was to meet with the Emperor of Yan State, so there was no way they would have an imperial physician accompanying them. Fortunately, Chen Wenxiao was alert and immediately said, "General, please send His Majesty inside first. We have a doctor in our house who will come and see him immediately."
Xiahou Jiu had no choice but to have someone bring a stool over and put Li Wu Yu on it. The group of people hurriedly escorted him inside.
Soon, the door of Chen's house was closed.
At the door, only the scattered incense ashes were left, which were blown away by the wind.

Although the meeting did not take too long, by the time Zhu Feng's carriage stopped at the gate of the South Courtyard, dusk had already fallen. He and Nan Yan got out of the car and walked inside together.
As soon as she walked through the gate, someone rushed to Cui Yuanmei from behind and whispered something in her ear.
Zhu Feng looked back and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cui Yuanmei immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, on his way back, Li Wuyu sent people to trample on the land that Chen Bi Ri had reclaimed on the border."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly. Although it was getting dark, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
He asked, "Has the news spread?"
Cui Yuanmei said: "The news has spread a long time ago, and those farmers have been driven away."
"what else?"
"I heard that the several carts of grain sent by the emperor were abandoned on the roadside before entering Doubei Town, and no one cared about it. On the other hand, the cart of jewels was brought into Doubei Town."
"What about the others?"
"Doubei Town is heavily guarded right now, so our people can't go in for the time being."
"Um……"
Zhu Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said nothing more. He continued to walk inside with Nan Yan. The other officials all stayed outside the door.
As Nan Yan walked in, she asked, "Is the heat high enough?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her: "Did you hear it again?"
Nan Yan said: "The emperor is not avoiding people either."
"snort."
Zhu Feng snorted coldly, but didn't answer her. He just looked up and walked inside, saying, "Don't worry about the heat. You've been out all day and haven't eaten anything. You must be hungry. Eat something first."
Nan Yan smiled, followed closely, and asked the people around her, "Have you had your meal, Princess?"
The servants in the mansion hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to agree. Zhu Feng noticed something and frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
The people in the palace then said, "For some reason, Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly became angry. From noon to night, she refused to eat anything."
When Nan Yan heard this, her brows furrowed.
The two men looked at each other, said nothing, and went straight to the yard where Xinping lived.
When they arrived, the gate was closed. Chu Yun and Jin Zhong were standing at the door, whispering persuasion. When they saw the emperor and the imperial concubine coming, they, along with the young palace maids and eunuchs outside, knelt on the ground. Zhu Feng walked over to take a look at them and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Nan Yan also walked over and knocked on the door gently. "Xinping? What's wrong with you? Why are you angry again?"
“…”
"Come out and talk to Mom."
“…”
"You're not paying attention to me, and you're not eating. What are you doing?"
No matter what she said, the door was closed and there was no sound from inside.
Nan Yan sensed something was wrong. After all, Xinping had come out to talk to her when she left early in the morning. If she was still angry, she wouldn't have suddenly made a scene at this time. Something must have happened.
Then he walked back and asked, "Tell me quickly!"
The people who served the princess were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they dared not say a word. Only Chu Yun said softly: "In reply to the emperor, the princess was fine this morning, but in the afternoon, in the afternoon -"
Zhu Feng said with a serious face: "What happened this afternoon?"
Chu Yun didn't dare to hide anything and told them what he had overheard one after another.
Nan Yan's brows suddenly furrowed.
She was about to say something, but before she could say anything, Zhu Feng said with a cold face, "Jinzhong, take a few people to the mansion and find these two people."
Jinzhong hurriedly got up from the ground and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you want to bring him here for questioning?"
Zhu Feng said, "No need. Find him and kill him."
“……!”
Nan Yan was shocked.
Jinzhong was obviously frightened and his legs went weak. Although the emperor did not seem angry, he mentioned two lives as soon as he opened his mouth. Who would dare to neglect it? He could only take his men away immediately.
Everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe.
They knelt on both sides of the gate, thinking that the emperor was furious and the willful princess would suffer again, but unexpectedly, the emperor just looked up at the dark room, turned around and left without saying anything.
Nan Yan was also stunned.
She had originally thought that she would go in and see Xinping no matter what, at least to talk it out. However, she didn't expect that Zhu Feng only wanted to beat the two "culprits" to death, but didn't even want to say a word to Xinping. She looked back twice, and finally hurriedly caught up with Zhu Feng.
"emperor!"
Zhu Feng glanced back, but without stopping, he simply said, "Why, do you want to persuade me?"
Nan Yan thought about it and shook her head.
If she met someone who was talkative in the palace, she would punish him. What's more, the talkativeness was not about some other trivial matter, but about a major matter done by the emperor. Such a person deserved to be beaten to death.
only--
As they were talking, the two of them had already returned to their room.
Nan Yan dismissed Ruoshui and the others, and only she and Zhu Feng entered the room. She whispered, "Isn't the Emperor going to say anything to Xinping?"
Zhu Feng slowly walked to the table and sat down.
He looked up at her and asked, "What?"
