Chapter 2936 is He Yi
He looked at Nan Yan's cautious expression and said softly, "Are you scared?"
Nan Yan had been holding on.
But when she heard these words, her eyes suddenly turned red, and a string of tears fell down and landed in the soup bowl in her hand. She said softly: "The emperor's chest injury has always been a source of worry for me. What happened just now really scared me."
“…”
"Your Majesty, I know how important Ye Zheng is to you."
“…”
"But, Your Majesty should also know how important you are to me."
“…”
"If it happens again like last time, I don't know what the emperor will do, but I'm afraid I really can't bear it."
Zhu Feng looked at her and reached out to gently cover the back of her hand.
In the past, his palms were always rough and warm, giving people a feeling of immense power, but this time, his fingers were cold, just like when he was seriously injured before. When he covered the back of his hand, it was like touching an ice cube.
Nan Yan hurriedly reached out and held his hand.
Zhu Feng took a deep breath, as if to gather some strength, and then said, "I know."
“…”
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
“…”
"It's just a mouthful of blood. This little wound, this little wound... I can't get over it."
Although, it's just a minor injury.
Although, he just spit out a mouthful of blood.
But Nan Yan knew that these were not the things that really hurt him.
But it was Ye Zheng’s death.
She could almost imagine that although Zhu Feng looked weak and frail now, Ye Zheng's death would definitely trigger a bloody storm.
It can be seen from the fact that today, while he was still in the carriage, he suddenly ordered Xiao Shunzi to go to the Dali Temple and ordered Ruan Hengzhou to arrest Heyi immediately.
With just one sentence, he made the Dali Temple Minister go to the Prince's Mansion to arrest the Prime Minister of the dynasty. This kind of thing is impossible for anyone else.
Ye Zheng is different from others.
Even, he is different from her, Si Nanyan.
For Zhu Feng, losing Ye Zheng was not just losing a minister or an ordinary follower. Just like Xin Qing, a part of Zhu Feng's life was forcibly taken away by him in a bloody way.
He will do whatever it takes to seek justice for Ye Zheng and avenge him.
only--
How did all this happen? How did Ye Zheng die? And why did Zhu Feng arrest He Yi immediately afterward?
There were countless doubts in Nan Yan's mind.
But now that Zhu Feng was like this, she didn't know whether she should ask.
However, Zhu Feng seemed to see through her heart. He put his hand on his chest and coughed twice. Nan Yan was afraid that his violent coughing would reawaken his old injury, so she hurriedly patted his back to help him breathe. Zhu Feng took a few breaths and then said, "Don't worry, I won't fall down because of such a minor injury. Before I fall, I will pave the way for the prince, I will see the King of Han become a man of great talent, and I will see our daughter grow up happily..."
When he said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"I will also seek justice for Ye Zheng!"
Nan Yan supported him with one hand and used the other to rub his back to soothe his breath. She said softly, "Then, why did the Emperor order the people from the Dali Temple to arrest He Yi?"
“…”
"Could it be that he has something to do with this matter?"
Zhu Feng's eyes became deeper and colder.
He said solemnly: "Maybe, maybe not."
“…”
"But I should have arrested him long ago."
Nan Yan's brows furrowed even tighter.
"It should have been long ago"? Could it be that the arrest of He Yi this time was not just about Ye Zheng?
The uneasiness hidden in her heart became more intense at this moment. Even the hand that was rubbing Zhu Feng's back trembled slightly uncontrollably. She whispered, "Your Majesty, are you talking about the bottle of antidote that He Yi gave me in advance when I accompanied Your Majesty on your tour of Shazhou Guard that year?"
Zhu Feng looked up at her.
"You still remember."
"How could I not remember?"
“…”
"Ye Zheng was poisoned, but no one in the court knew about it at the time. The Emperor only knew he was injured. However, He Yi, who was far away in the capital, was able to prepare an antidote pill while I was accompanying the Emperor on his journey. Furthermore, it was the exact antidote that Ye Zheng had contracted."
“…”
"This matter has always been on my mind."
Zhu Feng took a deep breath and said, "That's right. This matter has always been on my mind."
“…”
"However, I did not arrest him immediately because I... could not believe it yet."
“…”
"It was he who came to my Prince of Yan's mansion and took the initiative to assist me. Every step of the Jingnan Campaign was informed by his advice. Without him, even if I were able to ascend the throne, it would not have been so smooth and so fast."
“…”
"At that time, besides Ye Zheng, he was the person I trusted the most."
“…”
"After I ascended the throne, he served as the Left Chancellor of the Secretariat, already the chief minister of the court. I can't imagine what he was planning behind my back."
“…”
"So, I haven't touched him yet. I just gave him the cold shoulder, hoping he would understand my intentions and confess why he prepared Ye Zheng's antidote before he knew about the Shazhou Guards."
Nan Yan said softly: "But he never did."
"good."
"So, the Emperor is arresting him this time...?"
"No, it's more than just these two things."
"More than that?"
Nan Yan was startled and looked at Zhu Feng with wide eyes: "Is there anything else?"
Zhu Feng turned to look at her. Perhaps due to his fluctuating emotions, his face had turned even paler. Nan Yan was afraid that he might be unable to breathe, so she hurriedly rubbed his back. Zhu Feng shook his head, took her hand away, and held it in his palm. Then he slowly said, "Do you remember the night Cheng Jun was born two years ago?"
"ah?"
Nan Yan didn't know why he mentioned that night.
She nodded hurriedly: "Of course I remember. That night, the Emperor took the ministers to the Grand Altar, while I stayed in the harem and gave birth to Chengjun."
“…”
"What does this have to do with him?"
"Do you still remember what I went to the Great Altar for that time?"
Nan Yan said: "The emperor wants to eliminate the power of Duke Cheng."
"good,"
Zhu Feng said, "The trap set up that night was for Wu Yingqiu. Unfortunately, even after setting up everything inside and outside the palace, they still failed to capture Wu Yingqiu alive."
When Nan Yan mentioned this incident, she also recalled it and said, "That night, someone suddenly rushed into the heavily surrounded altar and rescued Wu Yingqiu, who was originally trapped in the jar—"
Having said this, she suddenly froze.
Then he looked up at Zhu Feng and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty means--"
Zhu Feng looked at her, was silent for a while, and nodded gently.
"It's He Yi."
