Chapter 491: Can’t be so “honest”
When Nan Yan heard that Zhu Feng and Ye Zheng had left Beiping City, she was worried.
Unfortunately, the two never came back.
There was heavy wind and snow.
She stood by the window, looking at the door of the courtyard outside. She felt like she was about to be blown into an ice sculpture by the cold wind.
It was not until the evening that I finally saw that familiar figure walking in from outside.
"emperor!"
Nan Yan hurried over, opened the door and rushed out.
Zhu Feng, with a cold air all over him, had just walked into the courtyard when he saw a nimble figure rushing towards him, almost bumping into his chest.
He quickly reached out and caught her.
"Nan Yan?"
Nan Yan was held by his arms, looked up at him, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you are finally back."
“…”
"Are you okay?"
"I, of course I'm fine."
Seeing her anxious expression, and then her finally relieved expression, Zhu Feng understood a little: "You knew I was out, so you kept waiting?"
"Um."
Nan Yan nodded and smiled, "I hope the emperor returns safely."
“…”
Zhu Feng was a little speechless.
Looking at the little face that was blown pale and the nose that was red, I didn’t know how long I had been waiting.
Especially when he grabbed her arm and felt her body getting cold, Zhu Feng wanted to curse again.
However, he still reached out and wrapped her tightly, then took her a few steps back to the room.
Entering the house, Nan Yan helped him take off his thick windbreaker and hung it on the hanger beside him. Zhu Feng loosened his sleeves and turned around to see her busying around, not slacking off at all. He said, "You—you look much better."
"Well--"
Nan Yan was afraid that he would know that Zhu Chengxuan had given her medicine, so she hurriedly said, "I have had a good rest these past two days, and coupled with the great medical skills of Li Lang, I am much better now."
Zhu Feng's deep eyes flickered slightly as he stared at her.
Nan Yan was afraid that he would notice something, so she asked, "Why did the emperor take so long?"
Zhu Feng said, "I went to the iron foundries that Jie Shi and his men controlled before, and then I went to the Xishan camp."
"West Mountain Camp?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
If I remember correctly, this is where the Queen's brother, General Xu Shifeng, is stationed.
What to do in the military camp?
Zhu Feng looked up at her, was silent for a moment, and then felt that he should let her know, so he said, "Beiping, there may be a war."
"What?!"
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in shock.
Although she knew that there were many battles in Peking, knowing was one thing, but the fact that the war broke out just two days after she arrived here still caught her off guard.
She whispered, "Really? With whom?"
"Deng Kingdom."
"Aren't they here to negotiate peace?"
"Peace talks are one thing, but when war comes, all the peace terms are worthless."
Zhu Feng said calmly, "Not only them, I will do the same if it is beneficial to me."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
Although it is said that a man cannot stand without trust, the interactions between countries cannot be so "honest" and must be handled with means.
Nan Yan is not pedantic on this point.
She went to make a cup of hot tea for Zhu Feng - of course, she used an ordinary porcelain cup.
Zhu Feng looked at her busy back and his heart suddenly felt warm.
However, after feeling warm, I suddenly remembered something.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Nan Yan, didn't Arslan come to your house the last time he came to negotiate peace?"
Nan Yan was slightly startled and looked back at him: "Yeah."
Why are you saying this suddenly?
