Chapter 2203: The Military Token is Lost
"But Weichen——"
Li Bushang paused for a moment and said, "I haven't moved since I saw the military order."
“……!”
Hearing this, Nan Yan shuddered violently and turned to look at him, while Zhu Feng's face suddenly darkened.
He suddenly said, "Take Cheng Jun out, and the princess out too."
Aunt Tongyun and Nianqiu responded hurriedly. One of them held the newly born prince Chengjun in her arms, and the other held Princess Xinping's hand. They immediately walked out of the main hall and went to the backyard where the princess lived.
He also closed the door.
Once they left, there were only three people left in the room.
The heavy rain made the atmosphere inside even more tense and oppressive.
Zhu Feng asked, "You, didn't you see the military token?"
"yes."
"and you--"
Li Bushang knocked his head to the ground and said, "I originally led my men to guard Yuehua Gate, waiting for the appearance of the military token, and I didn't dare to make any moves. But last night, Longfu Gate opened, and people and horses entered the harem. When I heard the sound, I was extremely anxious, but I didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order. Until later-"
"What happened next?"
"Later, there was a fire in Yikun Palace."
“…”
"Your Highness and I are well aware that the Imperial Concubine is pregnant with the Dragon's offspring, and no mishaps can be tolerated. Furthermore, the six palaces, east and west, are in chaos, and if we don't act now, I'm afraid the situation will be difficult to reverse."
“…”
"So, so I dare to..."
Zhu Feng asked, "You just brought people in?"
Li Bushang said, "I did not lead people into the harem immediately, but entered the West Six Palaces alone first. As a result, I saw Ran Xiaoyu in the back alley of Yikun Palace."
"Xiaoyu?!"
When she heard Ran Xiaoyu, Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "How is she?"
Li Bushang said, "To answer your Majesty's question, when I saw her, she had already fallen to the ground, unconscious."
“…”
"When I rescued her, I saw wounds on her body, and the wounds showed signs of poisoning."
"Poisoned?"
"Yes, later I led my men into the Six Palaces and put down Concubine Hui's rebellion. I discovered that the weapons of her troops had been poisoned on their swords."
When Nan Yan heard this, she clenched her teeth.
These people are indeed extremely cruel.
To deal with me, they not only want to rush into the harem and cause chaos, but also poison the weapons. If last night, without Zhu Feng's arrangements, without the King of Wei's desperate protection, without my quick wit and the method of fighting fire with fire, they would have been allowed to break in -
I'm afraid that now, I am more sad than death.
However, this is not the most important thing.
She asked hurriedly, "You said you didn't see the military token?"
"yes."
"But the military token is with her. I gave it to her and asked her to go to Yuehua Gate to mobilize troops."
Li Bushang looked up at her.
Just one glance at her, seeing her pale face and haggard expression, his heart felt like it was stabbed by a poisoned knife.
The severe pain from the poison.
But it makes people enjoy it.
He lowered his head again and said in a deep voice, "I rescued her, but I didn't find any military token on her."
“…”
"However, seeing the fire in Yikun Palace and her behavior, I thought that the Queen asked her to seek help, so I immediately led people to break into the harem to redress the grievances."
“…”
"But the military talisman—"
Having said that, he looked at Zhu Feng carefully.
“No.”
Zhu Feng's face darkened.
Nan Yan's face also became a little paler than before.
It’s not just about Ran Xiaoyu being poisoned, the more important thing is - the military talisman!
How come the military token disappeared?
Her heart felt like two huge rocks were pressing down on her at the same time, and she couldn't even breathe properly. She hurriedly said to Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, then, then-"
Zhu Feng's face was gloomy. He was silent for a long while before speaking, but his voice was relatively steady.
He just said to her, "Don't worry about this matter."
“…”
"Rest well first and take good care of your body first."
"But the military talisman—"
"I've sent people to search everywhere in the palace. She took it out. If it was really lost, it should have been lost along the way."
Having said this, his eyes became dark and lifeless.
As we walked along, we found that all the corpses in the palace had been cleared out. Although the military token was not big, it was not small either. If it was really lost along the way, it would be impossible not to find it.
The scariest thing is being picked up by someone...
Because until now, no one has come to offer the military token.
Who picked it up?
After putting away the military token, what do you want to do next?
Zhu Feng's breath subsided, but when he spoke to Nan Yan, his voice was still very gentle. He only said, "You should rest."
"emperor……"
Nan Yan was in so much pain that she didn't even care about the pain in her body.
Military talisman...
She was not one of those brainless women who only thought about the emperor's favor and which woman had slept with the emperor every day. She knew very well how important the military token was to the emperor.
In fact, this time, it was very inappropriate for Zhu Feng to hand over the military token to her.
For her own safety and for the baby in her womb.
He took a risk.
But he didn't expect that he actually lost the military token!
What if someone picked up the military token and manipulated the imperial army at a critical moment, causing chaos? What should we do then?
Her eyes were red.
"I, I—"
Zhu Feng looked at her and knew that she was feeling extremely guilty.
After a long while, he let out a deep breath, reached out and stroked her thin shoulders, and said, "Don't worry so much, I will naturally have a way to deal with it."
“…”
"It's just that this matter cannot be known to others."
“…”
"You must never let anyone see this expression, understand?"
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and nodded vigorously.
Zhu Feng turned his head again and looked at Li Bushang who was kneeling on the ground.
"You, did you hear what I said?"
Li Bushang lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I understand."
“…”
"Last night, I only had people follow me into the harem, but I didn't let them know. I didn't see the military token, so this matter—"
So, there were only three of them involved in this matter.
And the person who picked up the military token knows.
Zhu Feng said, "You can go down. If anyone else knows about this, it will be because of you."
Li Bushang lowered his head and said, "I understand."
After saying that, he bowed, stood up and walked out.
Zhu Feng kept watching his back as he left the gate and walked out of Yiku Palace. Then he turned around and saw Nan Yan biting her lower lip tightly, almost biting it through.
He sighed softly, reached out and pinched her chin, telling her to stop abusing her lips.
He just said, "I will take care of this matter."
“…”
"But if you keep doing this, there's no guarantee that others won't notice."
“…”
"At that time, I will be in trouble."
Hearing his words, Nan Yan hurriedly shook her head, as if trying to get rid of the frustrated look on her face, although her eyes were still full of gloom.
"I know."
