Chapter 493: Men shed blood, not tears
"emperor?"
Looking at Zhu Feng's increasingly deep eyes, Nan Yan subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
She stood in front of Zhu Feng and whispered, "Arislan came to my house, and with him his jade pendant, is there something he cannot reveal?"
“…”
Zhu Feng looked into her clear eyes, was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
“…”
"He, and the country of Neng, have had some problems. It might be related to that jade pendant."
"ah?"
"But right now, I have no way of being completely sure about this."
"That--"
Seeing Nan Yan frowning and looking worried, Zhu Feng stroked her head with his warm hand.
Nan Yan swallowed the rest of her words when he pressed her head.
Zhu Feng said softly, "But don't think too much about this matter."
“…”
"I just need to ask clearly."
“…”
"All you have to do is take good care of your body."
Nan Yan looked at him with wide eyes and nodded obediently.
Zhu Feng then smiled with satisfaction, reached out to pick up the tea she brewed, took a sip, it was slightly hot, just right to dispel the chill in his body.
He stayed and had dinner with her, and after confirming that she had a good appetite, he felt relieved.
After giving her a few instructions, he left.
It was already completely dark at this time, but fortunately, the eaves of houses near and far were hung with lanterns, which could barely illuminate the path in the yard.
However, Zhu Feng didn't even look at the road.
After all, he had lived here for more than ten years, and he knew where he was even with his eyes closed.
When he stopped, he arrived at the east courtyard of the palace.
He walked over and pushed open the door, and saw the small figure sitting behind the desk. When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he was so scared that he closed the book in his hand.
"Father—no, father, emperor father…"
Zhu Feng walked over with his hands behind his back.
Zhu Chengxuan hurriedly retreated to the side of the chair, lowered his head, and dared not move.
Compared to how he was chatting and laughing freely in front of Nan Yan and Ran Xiaoyu during the day, he seemed much more dull when facing his father at this time.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Feng's already unhappy mood became even more unhappy.
"Why, have you forgotten that I have returned to Peking?"
"No, son, I just didn't expect that the emperor would come to see me so late at night."
Zhu Feng glanced at him, slowly walked behind the desk, and picked up the book he had just been reading.
"Seven Military Classics".
Turning his head to look at Zhu Chengxuan, the child smiled at him cautiously.
However, there was no smile on Zhu Feng's face.
He opened the drawer under the desk and found an open book inside.
When I picked it up, I found it was a medical book.
When he saw that he had discovered it, Zhu Chengxuan turned pale with fear and fell to his knees with a thud: "Father."
Zhu Feng's face darkened as he angrily said, "You, are you going to piss me off to death?"
“…”
"I have spent half my life on horseback, dealing with swords, but my son is busy with these bottles, jars, soups and herbs!"
“…”
"How could I have a son like you!"
Zhu Chengxuan knelt on the ground in fear, trembling: "Father, please calm down..."
After all, he was still young, and at this time he was so scared that he burst into tears.
However, when Zhu Feng saw him crying bitterly, he became even more furious.
"A man should shed blood, not tears. How can you behave like this?!"
Just as he was about to point at Zhu Chengxuan and curse, he suddenly saw a sentence that Zhu Chengxuan had underlined in the medical book -
It is necessary to supplement the tonifying qi with ingredients that dispel the evil, so that the evil will retreat and the righteous qi will grow stronger. The evil will dissipate without any struggle. The prescription is Zhuke Decoction...
