Chapter 1285 Let some people feel fearless!
After a while, he suddenly said, "Yufu."
"The servant is here."
"Send the people from the Ministry of Rites here. I want to enthrone Concubine Kang as my consort!"
Although he was talking about the enthronement, which was a happy event, there was no expression of joy on his face, and even his tone was cold.
Eunuch Yu was suddenly shocked.
"ah?!"
Although he was used to the ups and downs of life around the emperor, he was still stunned when he heard the news. He knelt on the ground, raised his head, and looked at Zhu Feng in astonishment.
Seeing his expression, Zhu Feng's face became even gloomier.
"Ah what?!"
"Well--"
"Why don't you go now?!"
“Yes, yes!”
Eunuch Yu used his hands and feet to get up from the ground, but because he was too shocked, his hands and feet were weak and he almost fell back. He stumbled out and soon disappeared in front.
Zhu Feng coldly watched his back as he walked away, then lowered his head and looked at Li Bushang.
"You're here."
Li Bushang lowered his head even lower. "For what happened yesterday—I have come to take the blame."
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered slightly.
Said: "Come in and talk."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the imperial study, and Li Bushang hurriedly followed him.
Walking into the imperial study, I saw Zhu Feng had already walked over to the desk and sat down. Normally, he sat in a chair, even with a padded backrest, his back straight, as if never tired. But today, he was leaning back in the armchair, one hand even resting on his forehead, vigorously rubbing the deep wrinkles between his eyebrows.
It seems like I'm very tired.
However, I heard that he spent a night in Jianfu Palace and must have had a good rest. Concubine Kang tried her best to sleep with him, so she must have served him very well.
Why do you look so tired?
Li Buxin thought for a moment, without much hesitation, and walked to the table and said to him, "Your Majesty, I have come to confess my guilt."
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything.
Instead, he rubbed his eyebrows with his thick fingers for a long time before slowly raising his eyes.
If Li Bushang's eyes were like wolf's eyes, often giving people a bloodthirsty and frightening feeling, then Zhu Feng's eyes were naturally filled with a domineering aura that made people dare not look directly at him. Even if he was tired, the might of a tiger was still there. Just one glance from him was enough to make Li Bushang's breath catch.
Lower your head immediately.
The imperial study was silent for a long time before Zhu Feng spoke, "I have been preparing for this for so long, letting you set up a trap around the prison. However, not only did you fail to capture the prison breakers, but they even took Jian Ruocheng away."
“…”
"Why?"
Although he was accusing, his tone was surprisingly calm.
Although his tone was calm, it was still so oppressive that it made people feel suffocated. Li Bushang unconsciously clenched his hands, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "It was my negligence that I didn't expect the Imperial Concubine to suddenly appear—"
When Zhu Feng heard the words "Royal Concubine", his face darkened again.
"She shows up? If she shows up, you won't do anything?"
"Because," Li Bushang was still young after all, and under his strong pressure, he could not hold on any longer. He said in a deep voice, "Because the Imperial Concubine is injured."
“…”
"Your humble servant, your humble servant dares not neglect."
Zhu Feng looked at him gloomily.
At this moment, even though the sun was shining brightly outside, even scorching hot, his whole body was still cold.
Because there was ice in Zhu Feng's eyes.
He stared at Li Bushang for an unknown amount of time before saying coldly, "You heard what I just said, but you'd better remember it. Remember it all the time. Remember it forever."
Li Bushang was stunned and looked up at him in surprise.
Zhu Feng said word by word: "What does she have to do with you?"
“……!”
Li Bushang's face darkened, as if someone had stabbed his heart with a knife. In an instant, his heart contracted violently, making his breathing become short.
His throat was choked for a while, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Yes."
Zhu Feng glared at him coldly again, then slowly raised his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and covered his eyes.
However, that suffocating feeling of oppression still hangs over my head.
Li Bushang stood before him, silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, do you need me to lead the Jinyiwei to continue searching the city?"
"In the city?"
Zhu Feng said coldly, "Even if they succeed, will they stay in the city?"
"Then I can immediately lead my men out of the city to search and make amends."
"Leave the city? Jinling City is well connected. Do you know where they will go?"
“…”
"Or do you think they'll stay on the road for you to hunt?"
“…”
Li Bushang was speechless after hearing his question.
Zhu Feng peered through his fingers, gazing at him gloomily. He said coldly, "Don't think you're great just because you've gone through trials and tribulations and become the commander of the Imperial Guard. There's a lot you don't understand, and there are many who can replace you."
“…”
"You, take care of yourself!"
Listening to his scolding, Li Bushang lowered his head, his face slightly pale.
"……yes."
He was still young after all. Even though he appeared calm and composed, he couldn't help but feel depressed when facing Zhu Feng's scolding. He also felt a sense of humiliation that he couldn't express. However, he gritted his teeth and endured it, saying, "Your Majesty, this matter—"
"I will have someone handle it myself, you don't need to ask any more questions."
“…”
"You don't need to come to the palace to answer questions these days. Go back and reflect on your mistakes!"
"yes."
He saluted and prepared to leave, but when he reached the door, he looked back hesitantly. Zhu Feng put one hand on his forehead and said coldly, "Anything else?"
"No, no."
As soon as Li Bushang turned around, he saw Eunuch Yu walking in with the Minister of Rites Yan Gu and two vice ministers.
They gave him a quick bow and went inside.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
Zhu Feng still maintained his tired posture, not even raising his hand, and said coldly: "I want to enthrone Concubine Kang as my consort. You go down and draft the decree, and do it immediately!"
After saying that, he stopped talking.
Yan Gu and the others were all stunned.
You know, conferring a concubine is still a big deal, especially since the sacrifice at Da Ci'en Temple just now failed to be completed. In such a short time, Zhu Feng wants to confer a concubine again. This -
Yan Gu asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, is this too hasty?"
“…”
"The old palace is not fully equipped, so it's not suitable for the enthronement ceremony."
Zhu Feng said coldly: "There is no need for a grand ceremony, just a decree to canonize her as a concubine will be enough."
At this point, he seemed to grit his teeth and snorted coldly, "My harem of concubines is indeed withering, which is why some people are so confident!"
