Chapter 622 The Imperial Concubine's Trip
Nan Yan's throat choked, and she whispered, "Your Majesty, please find a way to protect Grandmother, no matter what."
“…”
"Although I am not from the Si family, she is still my relative."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her solemnly for a long time.
Then he said in a deep voice: "I know."
“…”
"Next, it depends on what they are going to do."
“…”
"If they want to use your grandmother to negotiate with me, I have my own way to deal with them."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Watching his tall figure disappear into the distance, Nan Yan stood there for a long time, unable to move. Until the night wind chilled her whole body, Ran Xiaoyu held her hand and whispered, "My Lady, please go back first."
“…”
"The Emperor will definitely find a way."
"……Um."

This night was more tormenting for Nan Yan than any previous difficult juncture.
Whenever she thought of her frail old grandmother being kidnapped and leaving Jinling City, not knowing what she would have to go through on the road, her heart felt like it was being fried in a frying pan.
Aunt Tongyun and the others also knew about this.
Everyone is very worried.
I barely slept a wink that night.
Early the next morning, Nan Yan got up early, washed up, ate something quickly, and went to Wuying Palace.
When we arrived, Zhu Feng had just stood up.
He was still wearing thin pajamas, which made him look tall and muscular.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, with only a coat draped over his shoulders, he was reading a letter in his hand.
Nan Yan walked in and said anxiously, "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng looked up at her: "You're here."
"Your Majesty, is there any news about my grandmother?"
As he spoke, he stared at the letter in Zhu Feng's hand.
Zhu Feng's breath stagnated for a moment, then he said, "Yes. They just sent back a message."
"how's it going?"
"They—crossed the river."
"Cross the river?"
Nan Yan was a little stunned for a moment.
Nan Yan couldn't help but feel a little concerned when she felt Zhu Feng's tone was particularly heavy when he said these two words.
Cross the river?
What does this mean?
The next moment, she gasped violently.
Cross the river!
Before, they had always been wondering what the purpose of those Dian people was in kidnapping Tong Yuhua.
And yesterday, after returning to the palace, Zhu Feng also said that if they wanted to use the grandmother to negotiate with him, he would find a way.
But now, they have crossed the river.
Crossing the river proved that their goal was not within the city of Nanjing, and they did not want to negotiate any conditions with the emperor.
Their target is the grandmother!
Zhu Feng looked up at her and saw that she was slowly calming down.
Nan Yan said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have an unwelcome request."
Zhu Feng said, "You say."
"I want to follow their trail and look for them."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her: "Are you going to leave the palace?"
"yes."
"Wherever they go, you're going to follow them?"
"..." Nan Yan said softly, "That's my grandmother."
“…”
"Concubine, there is no way I can ignore her."
When she said this, her voice trembled slightly.
Because she was afraid that Zhu Feng would refuse. After all, a woman who had been canonized as a concubine and had just become a noble concubine could no longer go out freely like she did when she was a female official in the Shangbao Palace.
That's against the rules.
However, Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then said, "Okay."
Nan Yan was surprised and delighted: "Really?"
Zhu Feng said calmly, "You are not joking."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Nan Yan felt sad and relieved at the same time. She was at a loss for what to do. Then she said, "Then I will go and prepare now. I want to ask the emperor for a team of soldiers."
"Can."
Zhu Feng said calmly, "I can arrange this for you."
“…”
"You, go down and get ready. We'll leave tomorrow."
Nan Yan didn't expect that he would agree so readily and even set the departure time for her.
He hurriedly thanked her and turned away.
Zhu Feng sat by the bed, looking at her back, silent for a while, then said to Xiao Shunzi beside him: "Go and call He Yi and Jian Ruocheng to me."

Although we say we are preparing, there is actually nothing to prepare.
After all, it's not a tour, nor is it a visit to relatives.
This is to save people.
Nan Yan went back and told everyone in Yiku Palace that she would only take Ran Xiaoyu with her and asked them to stay and take good care of themselves. Then, she packed her luggage.
There is no need for any fancy clothes or jewelry.
Nan Yan only asked her to pack two simple sets of clothes, and she didn't need anything else.
Then, there was a night of tension and sleeplessness.
The next morning finally arrived, and news came that people were already waiting at Nangong Gate. Nan Yan couldn't wait to rush over with Ran Xiaoyu.
At this time, it was just three quarters past the hour of Mao.
It was still dark when they arrived at the gate and saw two carriages with some guards following them.
Ran Xiaoyu recognized a familiar figure among those people at a glance.
"Ye Zheng?"
Her brows were twisted into a knot, and her face was full of disgust.
Ye Zheng was pretending to be a horse and giving instructions to the people around him. When he heard her voice, he turned around and a smile flashed in his eyes.
But he immediately walked in front of Nan Yan: "Your Highness."
Nan Yan said: "Ye Zheng, you——"
"I will accompany you."
“…”
Unexpectedly, Zhu Feng asked him to go along.
This is really great. Ye Zheng followed Zhu Feng from the military camp since he was a child. He is alert and smart. It is great to have him participate in this kind of thing.
Nan Yan said softly, "Thank you for your hard work this time."
Ye Zheng bowed and said, "Your Highness, your words are too kind."
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Ran Xiaoyu who was standing aside.
"Tsk tsk, you're going too?"
Ran Xiaoyu's face darkened: "What?"
"Nothing," Ye Zheng simply said, "I'm just worried that something bad might happen to you."
When Ran Xiaoyu heard this, her nose was about to burst into flames, but because Nan Yan was beside her, she couldn't argue with him. She just gritted her teeth and said, "Say it again?!"
Ye Zheng looked at her clenching her fists and the crackling of her knuckles, and shrank his neck.
Ran to the side.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "Humph!"
Nan Yan couldn't help but sigh: "Why do you two always quarrel as soon as you meet?"
"Who made trouble with him?"
"You'd better not do this along the way."
"Don't worry, Madam, I know."
Just at this time, everyone was ready, and everyone was asked to get on the horse or get on the carriage. Ran Xiaoyu was about to help her get on the carriage.
Nan Yan subconsciously looked back.
Zhu Feng didn’t come.
I thought that no matter what, he would at least come and take a look.
But immediately, she shook her head and put that sadness behind her - it was not easy for him to allow her to leave the palace like this.
So, he held Ran Xiaoyu's hand and got on the carriage.
Who knew that as soon as he opened the curtain, he saw a familiar figure sitting in the carriage.
