Chapter 3585 What's his next move?
Nan Yan immediately said, "Do we even need to guess? Ruoshui hasn't done enough, has she? Could it be that she needs to tear a heart apart and crush it before she can understand?"
“…”
"Do you know how difficult it is for a girl? If it succeeds, you'll be laughed at. If it fails, your reputation will be ruined. You won't be able to hold your head up high for the rest of your life."
“…”
"I think Lu Linchuan is narrow-minded!"
“…”
"Hmph, when I first went to Xingluo Lake with him, I thought he was narrow-minded and unforgiving. Now it seems I was right. I still feel uneasy about marrying Ruoshui to him."
Zhu Feng frowned when he heard this: "Come on, you took my words seriously."
“…”
"They are two people who have a deep affection for each other. Why are you interfering in the middle?"
Nan Yan pouted.
Zhu Feng picked up the teacup and took another sip, then asked, "So, after he said that, what did Tongyun say?"
Nan Yan pouted for a while, but couldn't hold it back any longer, so she turned around and said, "Of course I told him it wasn't true, but he still didn't believe me."
Zhu Feng frowned: "That's where he's wrong."
Nan Yan immediately nodded and said, "That's right!"
"And then?"
"And then? Fortunately, Tongyun was considerate and let him know that Ruoshui had made a box of snacks for him that day, which was more attentive than others. He was stunned and sat there motionless, as if possessed by someone. He didn't even see Tongyun off when she left."
Zhu Feng laughed and said, "Perhaps, this is also a good thing that he could not have imagined."
Nan Yan snorted, but couldn't help laughing, saying, "It seems like these two people are in love with each other."
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "In my opinion, this is a good idea. Since both of you are interested, let's find someone to mediate and choose a suitable day to get it done."
Nan Yan said, "No rush. After all, I haven't spoken to Ruoshui about this matter yet. She should be told about this important matter of marriage. Besides, we'll be leaving for the capital in two days. We should give them some time to spend together on the way. We can get down to business after we get back to the capital."
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "That's fine."
He thought for a moment and then said, "Since you've already made such plans, you should also look at the people around you. If Ruoshui really gets married, her position will have to be filled by someone else. Don't let those unscrupulous people get close to you."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I understand. I will pay attention to it."
So the two of them made a decision.
In the next few days, the entire South Courtyard was busy preparing for the Emperor's return to Beijing. Because Zhu Feng had completely relaxed and rested for a few days, his injuries were much better than before. At least the external injuries had healed a little, and he no longer needed help even when moving, so they set the departure date as the fourth day of October.
The day before departure, the King of Han was reluctant to leave, so he came to ask the Emperor and the Concubine for permission to take a few of his men out for a walk.
In fact, Zhu Feng had already stopped caring about this. Seeing him asking, he just waved his hands in annoyance: "You ask me about all kinds of things, big or small. Can't you make your own decisions? Get out of here!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengjun stuck out his tongue and retreated in shame.
As soon as he went out, he was so happy that he jumped and ran away like a pony that had broken free from its reins.
Nan Yan gently fanned Zhu Feng with a fan and said with a smile, "The Prince of Han came to ask the Emperor for instructions, and he was also obedient. Why is the Emperor scolding him instead?"
Zhu Feng said: "Boys need to know the rules, but they can't be too rule-abiding."
“…”
"He is the man I place great hopes on to protect our country in the future. If he still follows the rules on the battlefield, then every step he takes will be calculated by others. How can he survive?"
Nan Yan thought about it and realized that was true. This time, Zhu Feng's battle with Li Wushang wasn't even about force, but about wits and minds. Zhu Feng always fought outside the box, which was how he always won. In this respect, Nan Yan had never seen anyone surpass him.
Even Li Wushang, the person he trained himself.
Nan Yan said, "Take your time."
Zhu Feng said, "Take it slow? He's not a kid anymore."
Nan Yan laughed and said, "This is only my first time in battle, and I haven't embarrassed the Emperor. Why is the Emperor holding me so tightly?"
Zhu Feng wanted to say something, but suddenly frowned again.
Nan Yan had been able to spend so much time with him these days that she was naturally familiar with his every move. Just one look at his expression told her he was short of breath. Although his injuries had healed, Nan Yan noticed he was often short of breath. While the heat wasn't ideal for recuperation, the cold in the room made him uncomfortable, which was quite frustrating.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan was about to call for the imperial physician, but Zhu Feng raised his hand to stop her. He took two deep breaths before recovering, then said, "It's no big deal, don't be nervous."
Nan Yan frowned and leaned against him, reaching out to gently rub his chest.
"Does it still hurt?"
Zhu Feng said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
But if you look closely at his temples, you can still see some sweat.
Nan Yan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, what better than worrying less?"
Zhu Feng remained silent for a while, and when he felt a little better, he said, "If an emperor doesn't have to worry about anything, can he just lie down and enjoy himself every day? If I were that kind of emperor, there would be no days for enjoyment in this world."
Nan Yan said, "I'm not talking about that, but - Your Majesty, please don't be too anxious about Cheng Jun's matter."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her for a moment, hesitant to speak, and after a long silence, he said, "I don't want to be anxious either, but if I'm not anxious, there will always be someone who will be anxious."
Nan Yan frowned when she heard this: "What do you mean?"
Zhu Feng asked, "With such a big battle with Yue Kingdom this time, do you think Dian Kingdom won't receive any news at all?"
When Nan Yan heard about the Kingdom of Dian and thought of Monk and the wound he had left on Zhu Feng, a hint of murderous intent immediately flashed in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Why, is the Emperor worried about what he might do next?"
Zhu Feng said, "He has definitely been wanting to make a move, but the previous incident damaged his vitality. My arrow not only injured him, but also frightened his officials. That's why they haven't made any moves in all these years."
“…”
"But Monk is not someone who will settle down so easily."
When Nan Yan heard this, her brows furrowed even more tightly, and she asked, "What has Monk done now?"
Zhu Feng didn't speak immediately. Instead, he glanced at her, thought for a moment, and then said in a nonchalant tone, "Nothing."
Nan Yan asked, "What is nothing?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "It's nothing. Don't ask too much. I will tell you when the time comes."
