Chapter 2134 Do you think he came here sincerely to seek refuge?
When I walked into Yonghe Palace, it was so quiet that even the leaves of the willow tree in the courtyard were motionless.
The two little palace maids had nothing to do, so they sat in the corner and dozed off.
Bihe and Chun'er had just come out of the house. When they saw Zhu Feng coming, they hurriedly came forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, your servants greet you!"
When the two little palace maids heard this, they were frightened awake and hurried forward to kowtow.
Zhu Feng asked, "Where is the Queen?"
Chun'er said, "The Queen has just taken her medicine and gone to bed."
But just as she finished speaking, Xu Miaoyin's somewhat weak voice came from the room, saying: "I haven't rested yet, Your Majesty——"
Hearing this voice, Zhu Feng waved to them and walked into the main hall of Yonghe Palace alone.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xu Miaoyin struggling to sit up.
But because she was a little weak, she would sweat profusely if she moved a little. Zhu Feng walked over and personally supported her shoulders, let her sit against the head of the bed, and took a cushion to put behind her.
Xu Miaoyin said, "I have not been able to pay my respects to the Emperor. I hope the Emperor will forgive me."
Zhu Feng said accusingly, "You're still telling me this?"
Xu Miaoyin smiled.
The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and there was also an indescribable smell that only a patient's room could have, which made people feel a little heavy. Xu Miaoyin herself felt something similar, and fearing that Zhu Feng would feel uncomfortable, she immediately asked someone to open the window.
Zhu Feng only asked: "How is your health now?"
Xu Miaoyin said, "It's gotten much better now."
"If you can move around, you should get up and move around more often. It's not good to lie down all day long."
"That's right, I also want to move more."
As she spoke, Xu Miaoyin looked up at him and said, "I heard that the emperor has already prepared for the late emperor's birthday at the end of the month."
Zhu Feng said: "You know it too."
"The palace is so busy, it's a pity that I can't share the emperor's worries."
"You've already done a good job before. Yufu is just picking up what you've done, so he's taking the credit for nothing."
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. Yufu has also worked hard. In fact, I want to ask Your Majesty for something."
"What's up?"
Xu Miaoyin looked up at him and said softly, "I want to take Chengxuan with me and go to the Grand Altar with the Emperor."
“…”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence in Yonghe Palace.
Zhu Feng asked, "You, want to go to the Great Altar to attend the Emperor's afterlife?"
"yes."
"But your body—"
"I'm fine." Xu Miaoyin struggled to sit up straight again and said, "Didn't the emperor just tell me to go out for a walk more often?"
“…”
"I have been preparing for the late emperor's birthday, and I want to go too."
“…”
"Let the late emperor see the grown-up Cheng Xuan."
When she said the last sentence, she was extremely cautious, almost as if she was begging.
Although as an emperor, he had seen many people begging him, but Zhu Feng remembered that the queen seldom asked him for anything, and she was indifferent to many people and many things.
Only Cheng Xuan's matter——
She was uncharacteristically persistent and had not given up even at this point.
Perhaps it was because after the King of Wei said those words in front of him that night, he had been dragging his feet and not dealing with it, which made everyone suspicious and also made Xu Miaoyin worry too much.
Zhu Feng was silent for a while before he said, "Is your body really okay?"
Xu Miaoyin hurriedly said, "I can."
“…”
He thought about it and said, "Okay, go ahead."
"Then, King Wei—"
"Let him go too."
Hearing that Zhu Feng finally gave in, Xu Miaoyin breathed a long sigh of relief and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
Zhu Feng felt an indescribable feeling in his heart when he saw her like this.
He just said, "Okay, take a good rest. You shouldn't be worrying about this. You should relax."
After saying that, he patted her shoulder, stood up and left.
Looking at his back, Xu Miaoyin felt a little lost. After a long while, she murmured, "If I don't worry about it now, when will I worry about it?"
After Zhu Feng left Yonghe Palace, he looked even more lonely.
Eunuch Yu asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, where are we going now?"
“…”
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the imperial study."
"yes."
The two of them walked back quickly, and just as they reached the door of the imperial study, Xue Yun also arrived.
He kowtowed to Zhu Feng and said, "Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
"Well, you're here."
Zhu Feng just raised his hand and walked directly into the imperial study without saying anything else. Xue Yun followed him in.
Eunuch Yu also consciously retreated to the door.
Zhu Feng walked over to the table and sat down. Xue Yun was about to come forward to give him acupuncture, but at this moment, Zhu Feng suddenly said, "Don't move yet."
“……?”
Xue Yun was stunned and looked up at him.
Zhu Feng was seen sitting in the chair, not moving, but leaning back with his eyes closed.
Like - taking a rest.
Speaking of which, it has been some time since Zhu Feng started serving in the palace, and Xue Yun seems to have never seen him rest. He always seems to be full of energy, whether he is attending court or handling government affairs in the imperial study, he has never been seen to show any signs of fatigue.
But this time, although he didn't say it, his slightly furrowed brows revealed an indescribable look of fatigue.
Xue Yun suddenly didn't dare to do anything.
I dare not say anything.
Just standing aside, waiting quietly.

At this time, Wu Yingqiu was the only one left in the lobby of the Duke's Mansion.
He was still sitting in the chair, but his eyes were not closed. Instead, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Wan Liangchou and the others came over from the side hall.
After hearing their conversation, everyone was still a little dazed for a while. Only Wan Pengkun walked to the lobby door and watched Liu Yueze's back disappear on the path ahead.
He has already said goodbye and left.
Wan Pengkun frowned, turned around and said to Wu Yingqiu, "Uncle, are those things that Liu Yueze said true?"
“…”
"He said that the emperor openly asked General Yu to supervise the sacrificial ceremony at the Grand Altar, but secretly sent Xu Shifeng and his men there as well. Is this true?"
Wu Yingqiu looked up at him but said nothing.
Wan Liangchou frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Come to think of it, I really didn't see Xu Shifeng in the court today."
Everyone was shocked when they heard it.
Someone said, "He can mobilize troops without going through the Ministry of War. If he is also asked to supervise the Grand Altar Sacrifice Ceremony, does that mean the Emperor is planning to do something there?"
Wan Pengkun immediately said, "What are you afraid of? Since we already know, why should we be afraid?"
After saying this, he looked at Wu Yingqiu and said, "Uncle, it seems that Liu Yueze intends to come and join us."
Wu Yingqiu gave him a cold look.
Then he said, "Do you think he came here sincerely to seek refuge?"
