Chapter 1042 His and Her Common Secret
Qin Ruolan looked at her in silence, then slowly stood up and looked at Nan Yan with a complicated expression, saying, "Will it always be like this, or is it just temporary?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her silently.
I didn't answer because I was speechless.
She didn't have the energy to answer any questions from others.
However, her silence was like an invisible, huge stone, pressing heavily on Qin Ruolan's heart. At this moment, she felt almost as suffocated as Nan Yan, and was about to lose her breath.
The two of them sat in silence for a while, and Qin Ruolan suddenly said, "No matter what, I will definitely have someone cure you."
“…”
"Lian'er, ask the store owner to find a doctor immediately."
"this--"
"Go quickly!"
"yes."
Lian'er could only turn around and leave.
Nan Yan was a little confused by her eagerness, or "concern", and Qin Ruolan stared at her with a heavy look in his eyes.
He murmured, "I will make you speak again."
During the days when Zhu Feng left the imperial carriage and acted alone, she was suffering almost every day and every moment, worrying about his safety and afraid that something might happen to him.
But she didn't expect that after seeing Zhu Feng again and seeing that he was safe and sound, her heart would be even more tormented.
Because Zhu Feng was actually with Si Nanyan.
These days, when she was unable to sleep or eat because of him, he was with Si Nanyan all the time. This feeling was like a blunt knife cutting her heart.
She asked Zhu Feng what had happened these days, but Zhu Feng was unwilling to say, and Si Nanyan was injured and unable to speak.
Could it be that I will never be able to figure out what happened between them and what they experienced during these days?
Then, it became a secret between the two of them.
She had always believed that the memories she shared with Zhu Feng made her different from other women in the harem. No matter how favored Si Nanyan was during that period, or how close Zhu Feng was to her, what she had was something Si Nanyan could never compare to.
But now—
The two of them also have a common memory, but no one else knows about it, not even they themselves.
This realization made her a little annoyed.
She bit her lower lip and murmured repeatedly: "I will definitely make you speak."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at her in silence.
At this moment, she was in a very miserable mood.
Qin Ruolan had just returned to Zhu Feng's side, and it had only been one night, but Zhu Feng's attitude towards her had completely changed.
Even though he had forgotten all the past, he had never forgotten her.
so--
Am I really the superfluous person?
She lowered her head bitterly.

In the next room, when Zhu Feng walked back with a gloomy face, he saw Li Bushang and Wen Ye standing by the table.
Although he tried his best to restrain himself in those wolf-like eyes, he could still see the anxiety in them.
If someone hadn't stopped him just now, he would have rushed over again.
Zhu Feng's breath sank and he walked over and sat down.
Wen Ye looked at him, then at Li Bushang beside him, and felt even more uneasy, fearing that the emperor would get angry and take this matter to heart.
But Zhu Feng said, "Sit down first. I want to continue talking to you."
"Huh? Yes."
Wen Ye hurriedly bowed, then apologized and sat down.
Li Bushang naturally sat down as well, but his expression seemed somewhat distracted.
Wen Ye hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, just now the Emperor mentioned the three strategies of best, middle and worst. Naturally, it is our responsibility to let Prince Ning choose the worst strategy. However, Prince Ning has been actively preparing for rebellion during this period. Moreover, he seems to be colluding with certain forces and purchasing a large amount of ironware."
“…”
"Under such circumstances, how can we allow him to stay in Changqing City?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind. Then he said, "First, we need to make him think that we are afraid of him doing this. Second, we need to make him feel that it is necessary for him to do this."
“…”
"If both internal and external factors are present, this choice will become normal."
"That--"
Zhu Feng raised his head, looked at him, and said, "Have all your men been detained by Prince Ning?"
When this was mentioned, Wen Ye became furious.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's my fault that I didn't take adequate precautions. Also, yesterday was Prince Ning's birthday, so I only brought a few close associates to the Prince Ning's mansion to celebrate. The others stayed at the Governor's Office as usual, and now they've all been locked up."
Zhu Feng said, "That's fine. I just want to ask you, are these people trustworthy?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Ye immediately puffed out his chest and said, "Your Majesty can rest assured about this. Although the people in the Governor's Office, especially Governor Zhao, are fawning over Prince Ning, I, your humble servant, am very clear-headed and have not been bribed by Prince Ning's favors."
"In other words, as long as you can see them and raise your hand, they will follow you?"
"certainly."
"Are you sure?"
Wen Ye immediately stood up and said, "I can guarantee it with my life!"
“…”
Zhu Feng raised his head, looked at him for a while, and then nodded slightly.
He said, "I don't doubt you, but this matter is very important and I need to confirm it."
Wen Ye's eyes flickered, and he said, "Your Majesty is saying that the matter of having Prince Ning choose the 'worst option' should be left to me and my men?"
"good."
Zhu Feng said, "Ruolan brought about a hundred people into the city this time. Now we can rely on this group of people."
"That requires—"
"Today, I will hand these people over to you. You will take them to the governor's office and rescue all your people."
Wen Ye's eyes lit up immediately.
But the next moment, he frowned again and said, "But, Prince Ning's Mansion has sent a large number of soldiers to guard the Governor's Office. I'm afraid..."
Zhu Feng said, "You can rest assured about this. The Queen is also worried about my safety, so the people she handed over to Ruolan are all elite soldiers from the imperial camp. The fighting power of these one hundred or so is enough to resist a thousand-man army."
"Oh! That's great."
"Besides rescuing your people, what you need to do is spread some news to the ears of those guarding the Governor's Office."
Wen Ye hurriedly asked, "What news?"
Zhu Feng looked up at him and said, "Changqing City is Prince Ning's fiefdom. His power is deeply entrenched here. What I fear most is that he will refuse to leave. If that happens, I will be completely helpless against him. Therefore, I will use my troops, along with yours, to engage him in Changqing City and break it from the inside!"
