Chapter 674: Can’t Lose Face
"What did you say?!"
Zhu Feng's low voice rang out in the study.
Although it was not a roar, Ye Zheng was already very aware of the anger hidden in the low voice after following him for so many years.
He said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, the news was spread as soon as I arrived in Peking."
“…”
"But our informants aren't completely free either. At least, they need some time to react and then report back."
“…”
“It really isn’t that fast.”
“…”
"so--"
Before he could finish his words, he heard a "clang" sound, and Zhu Feng swept everything on the table to the ground.
Some ceramic utensils were smashed to pieces.
Ye Zheng immediately shut his mouth.
At this time, if I speak again, I am afraid I will become the target of this fire-breathing dragon.
He stood aside with a frown on his face, the ground beneath his feet was a mess.
Zhu Feng supported himself on the desk with both hands, breathing heavily. The heat like fire almost burned him.
His whole body was tense.
It's like a bow stretched to its limit.
These past two days, it seemed like everything was challenging his limits.
Nan Yan was abducted and even taken away by the Emperor of Dian right in front of him.
He could only watch all this happen.
He actually had such a day!
He clenched his fists tightly and pounded them hard on the table, almost shaking the entire table.
Ye Zheng stood nearby and saw him like this. He kept thinking about how to calm him down, but it looked like he couldn't hear anything.
If only Si Nanyan were here...
Just thinking about this, he smiled bitterly.
Isn't it just for Si Nanyan that I'm doing this?
And that Concubine Ning...
When he thought of this, Ye Zheng showed a bitter smile on his face. No wonder Zhu Feng was so angry.
At this moment, the guard's voice suddenly came from the door, as if he was talking to someone outside. He must have known that Zhu Feng was angry inside, so he lowered his voice very low: "Empress Ning, please don't embarrass us..."
“…”
"Your Majesty, are you angry?"
Qin Ruolan was standing at the door, followed by Tong Yuhua, who looked a little confused.
He said calmly, "It's not me who wants to see the Emperor, but the Imperial Concubine's grandmother who wants to see the Emperor."
“…”
"You guys, pass the message."
“…”
"If the emperor is angry, I will bear all the consequences."
The guard at the door was still a little hesitant.
On one side is Concubine Ning, whom the emperor does not want to see; on the other side is the grandmother of the imperial concubine.
This puts them in a very difficult position.
At this moment, the tightly closed door was opened. Qin Ruolan looked up and saw Zhu Feng standing at the door.
Everyone knelt down.
She also said to Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng didn't even seem to glance at her. He just walked up to Tong Yuhua and leaned over and asked, "Why is the old lady here?"
Tong Yuhua looked at him, still a little confused. She reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "Where is my granddaughter?"
“…”
"Where did she go?"
Ye Zheng on the side sighed.
Since she woke up, the half-conscious old woman has been searching for her granddaughter.
She had questioned everyone in the entire Prince Yan's Mansion.
At this moment, he heard Zhu Feng gritting his teeth. He was worried that he would not be able to suppress his anger, but the next moment, he heard Zhu Feng speak, his voice even somewhat calm, saying, "Don't worry."
“…”
"I will find her back."
His words were concise but powerful. Usually, Tong Yuhua seemed not to listen to other people's words of comfort, but she seemed to understand what he said.
He nodded gently: "Then you must do what you say."
“…”
"They said you loved her."
“…”
"My granddaughter has suffered since she was a child. Don't let her suffer any more."
Zhu Feng's breath sank.
After a while, he said, "I will."
After saying that, he stood up and made a gesture to Ye Zheng. Ye Zheng then came over, supported Tong Yuhua, who was chattering non-stop, and took her away.
Zhu Feng looked at her back for a long time before he turned around silently and returned to the study.
And Qin Ruolan also followed in.
I saw the mess on the ground.
She thought about it, bent down, and reached out to pick it up, but before she touched it, she heard a heavy voice from above her head -
"Get out."
The slender jade fingers froze for a moment when they touched the broken pieces of the teacup.
Immediately, the tender skin was pierced.
The blood coagulated into a blood bead.
Qin Ruolan's heart twitched slightly in pain, then she slowly raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, do you hate me so much?"
“…”
"If that's the case, why don't you kill me?"
“…”
"What if it's all over?"
Zhu Feng supported himself with both hands on the table. Normally, when he did this, he looked arrogant and looked down upon the world, but at this moment, it seemed as if he was using both hands to support himself.
After a while, he slowly said, "Do you think I don't want to?"
“……!”
Qin Ruolan's fingertips trembled again.
After a long time, she slowly stood up, turned around and left the room dejectedly.
Zhu Feng raised his head and looked at her back. The complicated expression in his eyes seemed to strangle him to death.

What is Zhu Feng doing now?
Nan Yan sat in front of the window, watching the dusk fall and the dark sky in the distance, thinking secretly in her heart.
But when she thought of this, she couldn't help but think of Concubine Ning Qin Ruolan. The cold expression on that beautiful face seemed to be becoming her nightmare.
She closed her eyes tightly and shook her head.
I want to get her and everything I said to her out of my mind.
At this time, the voices of two maids who came to serve her came to her ears: "Noble Concubine Si, the dinner to welcome you is about to begin. Let us dress you up."
Nan Yan opened her eyes and looked out the window again.
The palace in the distance was already brightly lit, and faint voices could be heard. It seemed that the banquet was about to begin.
So she went to wash her face, then sat in front of the dressing table and asked two maids to put on makeup and comb her hair.
Although she was captured, she still represented Yan Country.
Can't lose face.
After a while, the makeup was done.
The two maids sighed at her in the bronze mirror, "The Imperial Concubine is truly a beauty of the country."
"Yes, it's beautiful."
Nan Yan smiled awkwardly.
Although she tried her best not to lose face, she was still very clear about her appearance.
There is really no need to "blow with eyes closed" like this.
After putting on a gorgeous long dress and making sure that she had not behaved in a disrespectful manner, she walked to the hall where the banquet was being held.
It's already crowded here.
As soon as Nan Yan appeared, the emcee chanted, "Noble Concubine of Yan State, Si Nan Yan has arrived!"
