Chapter 3402: Is everything okay in Jinling?
She sat on the edge of the bed, carefully wiping Yongping's forehead with a handkerchief soaked in cold water, and said to Nan Yan, "Your Majesty, do you feel that the Master Chen who came today seemed to be hiding something?"
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
Speaking of which, Concubine Yi and Chen Xuan seemed to have never even met each other, but she could immediately feel that there was something hidden in Chen Xuan's words.
It seems quite obvious.
In fact, Nan Yan had been thinking about this matter all the way. Based on her understanding of Chen Xuan, this person should not be someone who is so good at doing things and saying polite words, but today he seems to have been infected with these "bad habits".
Moreover, when they heard that they had encountered an "accident" on the ship, his and the officials behind him looked clearly a little strange.
Concubine Yi tucked in the quilt for Yongping, then turned to look at Nan Yan and said cautiously, "Are there any problems with them?"
She probably knew that such a big incident had happened in Nanjing before, so she was still a little cautious when following the emperor this time. If there was any rebellion again, it would really cost lives, so she couldn't help but worry a little more.
Nan Yan immediately said, "Sister, don't worry about this."
"ah……"
"I can't say much about other matters, but regarding my loyalty, Lord Chen, there is no need to doubt it."
"oh."
"He was raised by the old uncle of the emperor, and he is actually the emperor's brother. When Jinling City was attacked, he risked his life to put down the rebellion. For this reason, I still trust him."
Concubine Yi immediately smiled and said, "It seems that I was worrying too much."
Nan Yan said: "It's better to be safe than sorry. It's not a bad thing to think more. Besides-"
When she said this, her eyes flickered slightly.
Concubine Yi asked, "What's the matter?"
Nan Yan was silent for a moment before she said, "I also feel that he does seem to be hiding something."
Concubine Yi immediately said: "Then Your Majesty——"
Nan Yan laughed and said, "If even the two of us have seen it, how can the emperor not see it? Since he didn't say it, he must have other plans."
Concubine Yi said, "That's true. It seems I was worrying too much."
Nan Yan smiled.
The two chatted for a while. Seeing that Yongping's condition had improved for a while, Nan Yan gave him a few more instructions, and then he left Jianfu Palace accompanied by Ruoshui and Delu.
While walking towards Yiku Palace, Nan Yan couldn't help but look around.
Ruoshui whispered, "This place is still different from five years ago."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Of course."
In fact, the Jinling Imperial Palace did not suffer too much damage. Even when it was renovated, Chen Xuan used the old drawings. But from this perspective, everyone felt that everything was different from the past.
Maybe it’s because my mood is completely different from when I walked here five years ago.
Nan Yan asked as she walked, "Where is the emperor?"
De Lu took two steps forward and said, "The Emperor has called Mr. Chen and the others to the Imperial Study. It seems like he has something to discuss."
"oh?"
De Lu said softly, "My Lady, would you like me to go over and take a look?"
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "The Emperor and Master Chen are talking about serious matters, so it's not for me to interfere. You guys should keep quiet."
De Lu immediately said, "Yes."
When they returned to Yiku Palace, Xinping had already fallen asleep under the care of several maids. Nanyan went over to watch over her for a while. Seeing that she was not frightened sick like Princess Yongping, she felt a little relieved. So she returned to Yiku Palace. It was already very late at this time. She washed up and went to bed.
However, it was the first night back in Jinling. Although she was a little tired from the long journey, Nan Yan just couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned until it was almost midnight. She heard a very light sound of footsteps outside.
It was Zhu Feng who brought Xiao Shunzi here.
Ruoshui immediately bowed and greeted him outside. Zhu Feng lowered his voice and asked, "Where is your queen?"
Ruoshui said, "Your Majesty, the Queen has already gone to bed. Do you want me to wake her up to welcome you?"
Zhu Feng said, "What are you making such a fuss about? All of you, get out of here."
Ruoshui retreated.
Then she heard Zhu Feng push open the door and walk gently to the bedside. Nan Yan originally thought that he might not come tonight, but she didn't expect him to come so late. She was a little happy in her heart, but she deliberately didn't get up and pretended to be asleep to tease him.
But just as Zhu Feng walked to the bedside and was about to bend down to look at her, he suddenly coughed twice, unable to hold back.
He immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
Nan Yan stood up and said, "What's wrong with the emperor?"
Zhu Feng waved his hand, coughed twice before stopping, and turned to look at her: "Did I wake you up?"
Nan Yan smiled embarrassedly and said, "No. I heard the emperor come in."
Zhu Feng knew what she was going to do the moment he heard it, and couldn't help but reach out and poke her on the forehead: "You're such a grown-up, and you're still trying to play this trick on me!"
Nan Yan took his hand and squeezed it in her palm, then said with some concern: "Why is the emperor coughing again? Is he feeling unwell? Should we ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"
Zhu Feng sat down beside the bed and said with a smile, "What's the big deal? I'm just a little tired today. It's not a big deal to call the imperial physician for this."
Nan Yan said: "The emperor's dragon body is not a big deal."
Zhu Feng said, "I'm fine."
Although he said he was fine, Nan Yan felt uneasy when she recalled what Master Shangshan said to her when they left the Imperial Mausoleum Temple. Zhu Feng seemed to see her worry and deliberately changed the subject, saying, "I just went to Jianfu Palace to take a look. Yongping seems to be feeling better. How is Xinping? She was also frightened. Is there anything wrong?"
Nan Yan immediately smiled and said, "I just went to take a look. This girl is very tough and is sleeping soundly."
Zhu Feng also smiled.
But he said with great pride: "That is like me."
After saying that, he was no longer as gentle and cautious as before, and directly called Xiao Shunzi and others outside the door to bring hot water for him to wash up. Nan Yan muttered in a low voice: "Like you, you still cough every day."
Xiao Shunzi and the others brought in hot water and towels, and quickly helped Zhu Feng wash up. Only then did he go to bed.
Although it was a bit hot, Nan Yan rolled over and hugged his waist.
Then he asked, "What did the Emperor talk about with Master Chen and the others in the Imperial Study for so long today?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her sideways and said, "Haven't you heard that the harem can't interfere in government affairs?"
Nan Yan rolled her eyes at him.
It was too funny for him to say such things, or for him to say them to himself.
Zhu Feng himself couldn't help but smile.
Nan Yan continued, "Is everything okay in Jinling?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then said, "Nothing."
Without waiting for Nan Yan to ask any more questions, he closed his eyes and said, "Okay, we still have to go to Da Ci'en Temple tomorrow, so go to bed early."
