Chapter 214 What a string of "lovesickness"!
Ye Zheng put the medicine bowl on the table in panic and knelt at his feet: "Your humble servant has been too talkative again. You deserve to die!"
Zhu Feng slowly walked up to him and looked down at him.
"Ye Zheng, you are becoming more and more courageous now."
“…”
"Do you think I won't punish you?"
"I dare not."
“…”
"However, this time the Emperor has injured his body, and I am afraid that upon returning to the palace, I will be skinned alive by those ministers, and even more so by the Empress."
Zhu Feng looked at him kowtowed repeatedly with a sullen face. Although he was still a little angry in his heart, he really couldn't vent his anger on this confidant who had been with him since childhood. He really knew him too well, and their every word and action were too familiar to each other.
After a long time, he said, "Get up."
Ye Zheng then carefully got up from the ground and looked up. Zhu Feng was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the map on the wooden rack.
It is a map of the State of Yue.
Ye Zheng asked cautiously, "Your Majesty...are you planning to use military force against the Kingdom of Yue?"
“…”
"I was just about to report to His Majesty that the spies we sent out reported that the 200,000-strong army of Yue has begun to assemble and seems to be preparing to launch an attack on us."
“…”
"I heard that Xiahou Jiu has gone blind in one eye."
Zhu Feng was not surprised at all. After a moment of silence, he said, "Whether he is blind or not has no influence on what measures I will take."
"Then the Emperor intends to—"
"Call the commanders of Taining Guard and Fuyu Guard to me."
"yes."
Ye Zheng hurriedly turned around and walked out.
Zhu Feng was about to turn around and look at the map over there, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of the bowl of medicine still steaming on the table.
He walked over slowly.
The turbid medicine gave off a faint bitter smell that slowly diffused in the tent. He smelled it, but didn't find it pungent or unpleasant.
Maybe it’s because I feel even worse inside.
He thought of Si Nanyan again. The image of her being pressed under him in the morning, with disheveled clothes and a dazed look in her eyes was still almost imprinted in his mind, causing a fire to burn faintly in his heart, but he had to suppress the flames.
But there was no way he couldn't help but feel angry.
When he thought about how she had been taken away last night - it felt like someone had forcibly and bloodily dug out a piece of flesh from his heart.
He had never felt such intense anger.
As for the bracelet named "Lovesickness", he had felt it a long time ago, but he was too embarrassed to ask clearly. Today, Jian Ruocheng finally explained it clearly.
He bought it for Si Nanyan with his own money.
He said he borrowed it, but he never returned it. So what’s the difference between that and giving it to him as a gift?
Lovesickness...
What a string of "lovesickness"!
Thinking of this, he became even more furious. With a wave of his hand, he swept the bowl of medicine to the ground. With a clang, the bowl shattered again, and the medicinal juice that Nan Yan had spent several hours boiling spilled all over the ground and soon soaked into the soil.
When Ye Zheng walked in with the two commanders, he saw the mess on the ground again, and his heart sank suddenly.
Zhu Feng's face was as cold as ice, and he said coldly, "Let someone clean up this place."
Knowing that he was angry again, Ye Zheng didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly sent someone in to clean up the mess. Then Zhu Feng asked them to sit down and said to the two commanders, "I want to know how many times the Great Yan Dynasty has used troops against the Kingdom of Yue over the years, as well as the victories and defeats, and some specific circumstances. Please tell me."
