Chapter 1222: It depends on his performance
"What? Failed again?"
In a quiet room in the southeast corner of Zhujian Academy, Xia Fuxiu's eyes were red after waiting for news all night, but what he waited for was not good news.
He frowned: "Surprisingly, failed again?"
Standing in front of him were the two students who had just left Qian Xiuwen's room - Su Erjun and Xie Weisheng.
The two of them also frowned, lowered their heads and said in a deep voice: "We didn't expect that boy to be so smart."
"I originally thought that after this night, they should have let down their guard, but in the end, he still stopped them from getting that bowl of chicken soup."
"this--"
Xia Fuxiu clenched his teeth tightly.
This can't go on!
From this point of view, the boy's medical skills are indeed very good, so he can take such perfect precautions. Qian Xiuwen will soon wake up under his care, and by then, they will have lost the initiative!
Absolutely not!
Su Erjun stepped forward and said, "Fu Xiu, what should we do now?"
Xie Weisheng said: "This morning, we saw that Qian Xiuwen looked better than before. He might wake up at any moment."
"If that's the case, they can clear their suspicion."
Xia Fuxiu said: "We must not let him wake up!"
"However, we were stopped twice. They are now very cautious."
"With just a few of us, I'm afraid—"
Xia Fuxiu said gloomily, "It's really hard for us to accomplish anything just by ourselves."
“…”
"It seems that I need to report to the master."

In Yikun Palace, Zhu Feng and Nan Yan also stood up.
Nan Yan yawned continuously after getting up because she had hardly slept well the whole night. Zhu Feng put on his clothes, looked back at her, and said with a half-smile, "Are you still sleepy?"
Nan Yan rubbed her eyes and said, "Not bad."
"There's nothing I can do about it. I don't have time to catch up on your sleep today."
“…”
After saying this, Ran Xiaoyu, who was making the bed in the room, and the palace maid sent from the imperial kitchen to set the dishes on the table, all fell silent and looked at them.
You know, when the emperor told his concubine that he didn't sleep well and couldn't make up for it, it usually meant -
Nan Yan's face suddenly turned red and she glared at Ran Xiaoyu.
Everyone immediately turned their gazes away, and she looked at Zhu Feng again: "What did the emperor say?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "I still have things to do today."
"What's going on?"
Before he could answer, Eunuch Yu hurried in from outside, bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
"What's up?"
"The Queen requests an audience."
“…”
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
You know, everyone in the harem is very discerning. They know that the emperor is staying overnight in the Yiku Palace, so no matter how big the matter is, they will not come to report and ask for an audience early in the morning. This is also the most basic way for concubines to get along with each other, and the queen is even more aware of this.
But she asked to see him early in the morning.
Nan Yan thought about it and immediately understood. She stood up and said, "Does the Queen know about the King of Wei?"
Eunuch Yu nodded and said, "Originally, no one told me, but the Empress would still send someone to Chengqian Palace every day to check on me. When she found that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei was not there, she came to ask me early in the morning. Now—"
Zhu Feng sighed and said, "I should have told her too, so she wouldn't worry. Where is she now?"
"In the imperial study."
"Okay, I'll go see her."
Although breakfast for two people was already on the table, since it was the Queen who requested an audience because of the Prince of Wei, Nan Yan certainly could not stop her. She could only walk to the door and bow to see him off.
Only after Zhu Feng left Yikun Palace did she sigh softly and walk to the table and sit down.
Ran Xiaoyu was beside her, and she comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I see that the Emperor isn't too worried either."
Nan Yan said, "You say you're not worried, but the King of Wei is still so young. It's just him and Li Bushang. How can we be at ease in a place like that, with the enemy in the dark and us in the light?"
Ran Xiaoyu picked up the bowl and chopsticks and handed them to her.
He consoled her, "Your Majesty is in control and will be able to handle everything."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at the dishes in her hand, then glanced at her again, smiled helplessly, and nodded: "Yeah."
Then, start eating breakfast.
Zhu Feng hurried to the imperial study. When he looked up, he saw Xu Miaoyin and her personal maid Chun'er standing in the middle of the study. When they saw him coming, they immediately knelt and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
Zhu Feng walked over, went around to sit behind the imperial desk, and then said, "Queen, please stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Chun'er beside her stood up, he also helped her to stand up.
Xu Miaoyin said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the King of Wei—"
"I know you're here to ask about him. Yes, the King of Wei has been detained by the people from the Bamboo Academy."
"How could this happen? How dare they treat the King of Wei like this?!"
Xu Miaoyin was so anxious that the corners of her eyes turned red.
Although he planned to find someone to replace the King of Wei because of Qin Ruolan's matter, everything has not yet been finalized; moreover, that was only out of consideration for interests. But emotionally speaking, after all, the child was the one he had raised for more than ten years, and it was impossible to completely give him up.
Seeing her anxious look, Zhu Feng told her what happened in Zhujian Academy.
Then he said, "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. I cannot shield him from this. Since he wants to stay, he should face it himself."
"But--"
Xu Miaoyin said anxiously, "I heard that the Jinyiwei entered the palace last night. Did they report on this matter? Is there any other changes?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
After a pause, he said, "Indeed, an assassination took place."
"emperor!"
"But it wasn't directed at him, but at the injured person. Besides, the matter was resolved."
Xu Miaoyin said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I really can't sit idly by and watch this happen. No matter what, the King of Wei represents the dignity of the royal family. Even if someone died, it should be handled by the government. How can someone from the academy detain the prince? I can't agree to this! I must take him back!"
Having said that, she was about to turn around and leave!
"stop!"
Zhu Feng shouted in a deep voice.
Although Xu Miaoyin was anxious, she hesitated for a moment when she heard Zhu Feng's voice, and her footsteps finally stopped.
She turned around and looked at Zhu Feng with red eyes.
"Your Majesty," she said, "No matter what, the Prince of Wei is your only son. He cannot be put in danger."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while, then sighed.
"Don't be impatient, Queen."
“…”
"I had originally planned to visit the Bamboo Academy today."
"Really?"
Xu Miaoyin looked at him in surprise: "Can you bring the King of Wei back?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "It all depends on how 'he' performs."
