Chapter 2131 is the only one who is "victimized"
"Don't go over there this time."
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan immediately pouted.
She muttered softly, "Before, when there were bandits in the northwest, and there were so many other things going on, I was allowed to go there. Why not this time?"
Zhu Feng burst out laughing: "You weren't pregnant at that time!"
“…”
"If I had known you were pregnant at that time, I wouldn't have let you go to the northwest. Fortunately, the journey was safe and the fetus was not affected."
“…”
"Besides, you're in such a state now that your waist hurts even after taking a few steps. How can you leave the palace and go to the Grand Altar?"
“…”
"This time you must be obedient and not go anywhere. Stay in the palace."
Nan Yan looked at him disappointedly.
Zhu Feng added, "Looking at the date, you're about to give birth, so just be content."
Nan Yan could only calm down.
Of course, she herself knew that she was about to give birth. At this time of year, any slight movement could cause her to go into labor prematurely. It was even possible that she herself would go into labor prematurely. If this happened on the road or in the grand altar, it would be difficult to deal with.
However, hearing the words "Grand Altar" made her feel vaguely uncomfortable.
You know, Zhu Feng lost his memory because of the "Grand Sacrifice Altar" that year.
Even though he didn't remember anything now, and even if he returned to the Great Altar again, it would not cause any fluctuations in his memory, but Nan Yan was somewhat averse to the people and places that caused Zhu Feng to lose his memory.
She thought about it and could only ask, "Then who will the emperor take with him?"
Zhu Feng said, "Originally, I only planned to take the Queen, you, and a few others with me. But now the Queen is ill, and you can't move, so naturally, I won't take anyone else with me. The only person I'm planning to take is Concubine Shun."
Nan Yan nodded: "Yes."
Concubine Shun was a maid who had served Zhu Feng since she was a child. In fact, she was given to him by Emperor Gao. To the late emperor, there was a master-servant relationship between them, so she should be allowed to pass as well.
She asked, “When are we going?”
"I'll go at the end of the month."
As he spoke, he placed his hand on Nan Yan's shoulder and rubbed it gently: "Remember to rest well and take good care of yourself."
Nan Yan found it amusing and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is true. The Grand Altar is not far away, and we can still make the round trip on the same day. Why are you still talking about this?"
Hearing this, Zhu Feng also laughed.
Although she said so, Nan Yan still reached out, pulled Zhu Feng's hand that was on her shoulder, and gently rubbed it on her cheek.
Speaking of which, the two of them can be considered an "old couple", and it is a bit corny for them to do such intimate actions.
But she still wanted to have skin-to-skin contact with him.
Even if it's just touching each other.
It's like owning each other completely.
But just as Nan Yan was quietly enjoying this moment, a faint, barely noticeable medicinal fragrance came from Zhu Feng's hand and passed by her nose.
"……Um?"
Nan Yan was slightly stunned.
Zhu Feng looked down at her: "What's wrong?"
“…”
Nan Yan touched his hand, was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "It's okay."

In the following period of time, the harem became temporarily calmer.
In the previous dynasty, a memorial from Chen Yilu and Zhu Feng's promise threw a huge stone into the court, causing a huge uproar for a while.
During the morning court session, some officials had already confronted Chen Yilu directly.
Some people even cursed him: He spread false rumors to confuse the people, caused discord between the emperor and his ministers, and shook the order of the court. He should be executed!
When he heard this, Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
However, he did not say much while sitting on the dragon throne.
Gu Tingqiu, as someone who had already explicitly supported this policy in the cabinet, naturally had to stand up and speak out. As a result, the entire court was in an uproar.
Without He Yi to take charge of the situation, it was obvious that their momentum was weaker.
Even after several sieges by the enemy, they had already shown signs of decline.
At this time, Zhu Feng held the armrest of the chair, glanced at the faces below with different expressions, and then asked: "Huh? Why don't you see the Duke today?"
Everyone suddenly fell silent and looked at each other.
Speaking of which, the Duke hasn't attended court for several days.
At this time, a man stepped out from the ranks of the ministers. It was Wan Liangchou, the Minister of War and the brother-in-law of Duke Wu Yingqiu of Cheng. He respectfully addressed Zhu Feng, "The Duke is unwell and has applied for sick leave."
"Oh, that's it."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I remember that he seemed to have been in poor health since returning from the northwest."
Everyone below should be.
Wan Liangchou's face looked a little ugly.
Although he was the Minister of War, he was too old to go to the northwest like the young people. But seeing his brother-in-law dying of illness and bringing with him a nephew who was almost dead, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Hearing that they were framed by villains, he was even more furious.
But at this moment, I can only endure it.
Wan Liangchou said in a deep voice: "Yes, the Duke is old and frail, and has been recuperating at home these days."
Zhu Feng said, "If that's the case, then I should send someone to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Wan Liangchou quickly knelt on the ground and said, "On behalf of the Duke, I thank the Emperor for his great grace."
Zhu Feng waved his sleeves lightly.
Then he looked at the people around him.
In fact, the focus of everyone's dispute was nothing more than the Duke. After all, now, the other princes and nobles who would oppose this matter were either eliminated by Zhu Feng, or they simply did not dare to speak out in resistance, or they simply did not care about this matter.
The Duke was the only one who was "victimized".
But without him, it seemed meaningless for everyone to argue.
So, the people from the Duke's faction looked at each other and fell silent.
Everyone also secretly agreed with each other in their eyes that after the court was dismissed, they would meet at the Duke's Mansion to discuss this matter.
While watching the heated debate among the crowd, Zhu Feng only showed a cold smile in his eyes.
The people below couldn't see his face at all.
Not to mention seeing the smile in his eyes at this moment.
The emperor then said, "Since all the ministers are so divided and so divided, let us put this matter aside for the time being. We can discuss it again once a conclusion has been reached."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the back.
Eunuch Yu immediately raised his voice and said, "Dismiss the court!"
Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live Zhu Feng". When Zhu Feng's back disappeared from the hall, everyone slowly stood up.
The people who had just argued still had hostility on their faces.
Wan Liangchou's son Wan Pengkun and several other officials gathered together.
Wan Pengkun said, "Father, what should we do now?"
Wan Liangchou whispered, "Let's go back first and talk to your uncle's house."
After saying that, he hurriedly left the hall and the palace with a few others and went to the Duke Cheng's Mansion.
