Chapter 2986 Why not mention Li Bushang?
Zhu Feng also looked at her: "Hmm?"
Nan Yan was sitting upright on the edge of the bed, her hands on her knees, looking serious as if she was about to give a long speech. Zhu Feng naturally knew that she had been holding it in since she was in Jiuqu Tower. After coming back, she even waited until the two of them had washed up and sent everyone away before speaking.
It means not giving people time to disturb you.
So, he sighed softly, then looked up at her: "What's wrong, are you going to 'lecture' me?"
Nan Yan said with a sullen face, "Why didn't Your Majesty tell me in advance?"
Zhu Feng asked, "Does this matter?"
"certainly!"
Nan Yan's voice rose a few notches, and she sat closer to him, staring at him intently. "If I had known that the Emperor's method of dealing with Xingluo Lake was to get in first, I would never have agreed to let the Emperor go to Jiuqu Tower!"
Zhu Feng said, "Nan Yan, the harem cannot interfere in government affairs!"
"The harem cannot interfere in government affairs, but that doesn't mean the imperial concubine can just sit back and watch His Majesty the Emperor do whatever he wants."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng's face darkened.
The four words "acting recklessly" can be used to describe an emperor, which can be said to be very serious. Throughout the dynasties, few people dared to say so.
He said in a deep voice: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Normally, if Zhu Feng got angry, Nan Yan would have to give in no matter how right she was. But this time, she was utterly fearless. Without blinking, she met Zhu Feng's gaze, even glaring back, and said, "Of course I know what I'm talking about."
“…”
"But, the Emperor probably doesn't know what he's doing!"
"you--"
"Does the Emperor know that he is supreme? Does he know that a son of a wealthy family should not sit idle in the palace? Does he know that the slightest movement from His Majesty will cause chaos throughout the world?"
“…”
"Your Majesty said the harem cannot interfere in government affairs, but that doesn't mean I can't care about state affairs. Even I know how dangerous Xingluo Lake is. Even a wise and powerful emperor like Emperor Gao spent so many years trying to take it down. Now that Your Majesty has entered alone, do you still expect to escape unscathed?"
“…”
"Your Majesty's actions are not only shallow and ignorant of his own strength, but also irresponsible to himself, his ministers, and even the country of the Great Yan Dynasty!"
She originally just wanted to advise Zhu Feng not to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, but as she spoke, she became angry and gave a long speech, leaving Zhu Feng unable to get a word in. The last few words made Zhu Feng's face change.
He was also a little angry.
He stared at Nan Yan's furious look for a long time. After thinking for a while, he sighed and reached out to grab Nan Yan's arm: "Alright, alright, why are you angry?"
Nan Yan shook his hand away.
Zhu Feng reached out and patted her shoulder, but she turned away to prevent him from doing so.
After several times, Zhu Feng became angry.
He said with a sullen face, "Why, do you still want to be serious with me?"
Nan Yan still didn't say anything, just stared at him.
Normally, when she encountered such a situation, she said everything she needed to say. Even if Zhu Feng was really angry, she knew when to quit and would just act coquettishly and it would pass. Generally speaking, Zhu Feng would listen to what she said.
But this time, she also insisted on not backing down, and the two of them just confronted each other.
Watching Nan Yan's eyes slowly turn red under the flickering candlelight, Zhu Feng's heart moved slightly - he really hadn't been angry for too long, and he almost forgot what he should be like and what he should do when he was angry. Instead, seeing the aggrieved and angry look of the young woman in front of him, the anger that had been rising suddenly cooled down.
He sighed deeply and said, "Okay."
“…”
"I'm not angry with you for saying these things, but you're feeling aggrieved?"
“…”
"Okay, if you make trouble again, I will be really angry."
His words undoubtedly softened his attitude and gave Nan Yan a way out. Nan Yan then sniffed and reached out to grab Zhu Feng's hand.
But he still said stubbornly: "No matter what, the emperor cannot go."
It would have been easy to pull his hand out of her grasp, but feeling her fingers stubbornly trying to hold him in place, Zhu Feng didn't do it. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then tell me, who should go?"
Nan Yan said, "No matter who goes, it shouldn't be the emperor."
"Anyone?"
“…”
"Do you think that anyone can take over Xingluo Lake?"
“…”
"If that's the case, then Ye Zheng——"
Having said that, even though it had been so long, and even though everyone thought that the sadness should have subsided, Zhu Feng's voice suddenly became hoarse, and he even found it difficult to continue speaking.
Nan Yan looked up at him.
In an instant, Zhu Feng's eyes also turned red.
Nan Yan knew that he was taking a gamble this time, even going so far as to take the risk of going to Xiajiang Town in person. It was not only because Xingluo Lake was a cancer entrenched in this place, but the biggest reason was Ye Zheng's death.
In order to avenge him, Zhu Feng would do anything.
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "I know how important Ye Zheng is to the Emperor. Not only the Emperor, but I, too, want to avenge him, but there are always priorities. The Emperor is the highest authority, and he really shouldn't take risks like this so easily. The Emperor has many talented people under his command, so it's impossible that there isn't anyone he can send."
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said calmly, "Who else is there at this time?"
“…”
This question really stumped Nan Yan.
In order to hide their identities and avoid being discovered by the Hang Seng Bank people, all the people who came this time had clean backgrounds. Anyone who had appeared in the south before, including Xu Shifeng and Zhu Feng, was not brought with them.
Right now, there are only a few of them.
Although Xiao Shunzi is smart, he is just a little eunuch after all. It is impossible for such a thing to happen to him, and he cannot afford it.
Ran Xiaoyu, not to mention.
She didn't even have the strength to stand up now.
Who else, who else could it be?
Who should go?
Who can shoulder such an important responsibility?
At this moment, Li Bushang's figure flashed through Nan Yan's mind, and her heart suddenly sank. Immediately, she nipped the bud in the bud.
no!
Feeling her breathing become disordered for a moment, Zhu Feng looked up at her, his eyes calm but with a hint of scrutiny, and said slowly: "Nan Yan, what's wrong with you?"
Nan Yan's eyes were also a little confused, and she subconsciously avoided his gaze.
"What? I, I'm fine."
"Nothing?"
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while and said, "Then why don't you mention Li Bushang?"
