Chapter 3144 The Best Road
Hearing this, Lu Linchuan's expression changed.
Nan Yan's face flushed red as she looked at him, a look of anger emerging from her face. Although the two of them had been at loggerheads all the way to Xingluo Lake when he had escorted Nan Yan, she had never seen him look so angry.
Nan Yan was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"
“…”
Lu Linchuan glared at her for a long time, then suddenly sneered and said, "When you ask me this, it's obvious that you want to say that I am a traitor to Tiangang Lianhuanwu. I betrayed Tiangang Lianhuanwu and my adoptive father, right?"
“…”
"So, in the eyes of the Imperial Concubine, I am this kind of person."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan was even more surprised.
To be honest, it was an indisputable fact that the imperial court sent troops into Xingluo Lake and Tiangang Lianhuanwu was destroyed. However, as Luo Xingwen's adopted son, he stayed well by Zhu Feng's side and even had plans to work for the imperial court. It was not groundless for him to make such a guess.
Why is he so angry?
Dare to do it but not take responsibility?
Lu Linchuan sneered again and said, "If that's the case, then there's nothing more for me to say to the Imperial Concubine."
After all, he was young and energetic, and he was Luo Xingwen's adopted son. He had probably never suffered such injustice in Xingluo Lake since he was a child, so he just turned around and walked away.
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at his back, speechless for a moment.
Ruoshui immediately said, "This person is so rude! How dare he speak to you like that!"
“…”
"We should tell the Emperor and punish him for disrespect!"
Nan Yan came back to her senses and chuckled, "Why would you bother with him?"
After all, Lu Linchuan was born in Xingluo Lake, and he probably hadn't been to any other place since he was a child. He didn't know the rules of the court, let alone that he would have been beaten with a stick if he spoke to the imperial concubine with such an attitude. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. Nan Yan didn't really want to frame him from now on, but she was a little surprised by his sudden anger.
How on earth had I wronged him?
Thinking so in her mind, but not wanting to go up and ask again, Nan Yan didn't feel like walking around anymore. She strolled a few steps and went back to her room. Guessing that Zhu Feng should be back, she asked the kitchen to prepare some food. After a while, the people below brought up some light soup and rice. Nan Yan had just sat down when Zhu Feng also walked in from outside.
Seeing the food on the table, he smiled and said, "I'm just hungry."
Nan Yan immediately asked him to sit down and served him food. Neither of them had eaten since last night. He didn't feel hungry before because he was nervous, but now that he relaxed, his stomach was really empty. Zhu Feng took the bowl, ate a bowl of rice with a few side dishes, and put down his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction.
Nan Yan asked, "Your Majesty, won't you eat a little more?"
Zhu Feng said: "That's enough."
Nan Yan shook her head: "The emperor's appetite is much smaller now than before. Two years ago, he used to eat several bowls of rice in one meal."
Zhu Feng wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "When you get older, you have to know how to take care of yourself. Being greedy and lazy is not a good thing, and the same goes for you."
Nan Yan nodded obediently.
Seeing that Zhu Feng seemed to be in a good mood, she thought for a moment and asked, "Did the emperor just go over and see Jian Ruocheng?"
When "Jian Ruocheng" was mentioned, Zhu Feng's originally curled lips slightly curled up.
Glanced at her.
Then he said coldly: "I saw it, so what?"
Seeing him like this, you can tell that he is still feeling upset and can't even speak properly. Nan Yan doesn't get angry with him and just holds the bowl and eats slowly.
She stopped asking, but Zhu Feng became a little uneasy. After finishing his meal, he still sat at the table, watching Nan Yan eat.
Nan Yan raised her eyes and glanced at him.
"Your Majesty, why are you always looking at me?"
Zhu Feng asked, "Why don't you ask?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"Ask—ask what I said to Jian Ruocheng."
Nan Yan snorted, "How dare I ask more questions? The emperor's words are like a knife. If he doesn't know what he said is wrong, my life will be in danger."
Hearing her obviously sarcastic words, Zhu Feng wanted to laugh, but he tried to hold it back. He pursed his lips into a thin line and said after a long while, "If you want to ask, just ask. Am I the kind of person who would look for trouble?"
Nan Yan snorted loudly.
Seeing the two people arguing but not arguing, Xiao Shunzi and Ruoshui, who were serving beside them, were a little overwhelmed. After a long while, Zhu Feng finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "I talked to Jian Ruocheng for a while. I already know everything about his past. But what matters most to me is where he plans to go and what he plans to do next."
Nan Yan was still eating, but when she heard this, she put down her bowl and chopsticks.
He asked seriously, "What did he say?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "He plans to become a monk."
“…”
"Why are you so calm?"
Nan Yan looked up at him and said with a half-smile, "Your Majesty, how do you want me to react?"
Seeing that Nan Yan wasn't surprised at all, Zhu Feng frowned slightly, but immediately came to his senses: "Did Miao Ming tell you?"
Nan Yan said, "Master Miao Ming just told me that."
"oh……"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a while, and nodded again: "What do you think?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "This is Mr. Jian's own business. As a noble concubine, I can only manage the small area of the harem. Where a person goes and what he does is still decided by him alone."
Zhu Feng said: "Of course I know that you can't be his master."
“…”
"I'm just asking you, do you think his choice is good?"
“…”
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said softly, "Actually, I hope he can stay in the court and serve the emperor with what he has learned and understood. However, after so many things have happened, I think the trauma in his heart will be difficult to heal..."
Hearing this, Zhu Feng's expression also became gloomy.
The whole family was wiped out.
This kind of pain would be heartbreaking for ordinary people just by hearing about it, but since he had experienced it personally, he could only say that the fact that he was still conscious and able to do things showed that he had a very determined character.
However, after a great revenge is achieved, many people will feel extremely empty in their hearts.
Some people may even commit suicide.
At this time, letting him return to the court would definitely not be a good thing.
Nan Yan said softly, "I already know how Taoist Miao Ming feels about him. Even if we don't talk about love, it's a good thing for him to have someone like this by his side to guide him. Besides, Taoist Miao Ming usually preaches everywhere. It's the best way for Second Master Jian to be with her and teach her."
