Chapter 3570 Nan Yan wants to return the arrow to him!
When Zhu Feng got off the carriage, the group carefully sent him to the pergola. Because he was injured, the pergola was decorated very thoughtfully, with thin white gauze hanging all around to prevent mosquito bites. As soon as he sat down, someone brought up the ice plate they brought with him. After a while, the pergola became slightly cool, with occasional breeze blowing. It was a comfortable place to stay.
Zhu Feng slowly sat down on the couch. Although it was only a short distance from the carriage to here, he still broke out in a cold sweat.
Nan Yan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off his face, whispering, "Your Majesty shouldn't have come here."
Zhu Feng said, "Stop talking nonsense."
Nanyuan glared at him resentfully, but still turned back and ordered someone to bring tea and place it next to him. Then he turned back and ordered Zhu Chengjun and Xinping: "You two, do not leave this pavilion. Guard your father well. Do you understand?"
This time when Zhu Chengjun came out, he even had a knife on his waist.
He said solemnly: "Don't worry, mother."
Nan Yan nodded. At the same time, Cui Yuanmei and his men were already waiting outside the shed. His subordinates were holding a tray in their hands, and in the center of the tray was the most important thing of the day.
Letter from Yan State.
Zhu Feng glanced outside and said, "You go. Ying Shao—"
Ying Shao immediately walked outside the pavilion and said respectfully, "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng said: "Follow the Imperial Concubine. No matter what time, you must not take your eyes off the Imperial Concubine."
Ying Shao said, "I understand."
In fact, exchanging letters of credence is a very simple matter, especially since the outcome of this war is so obvious, there is no need to go to so much trouble. However, because the imperial concubine insisted on exchanging the letters of credence in person, everyone felt like they were facing a great enemy. After Nan Yan walked out, Ying Shao immediately followed her only three steps away, and on the other side was Cui Yuanmei. Behind each of them was a team of people, and they followed the imperial concubine to the platform in front.
Zhu Feng lay on the couch in the pergola, quietly looking at Nan Yan's back.
The two children, standing by his side, couldn't help but grow nervous. At this moment, Xinping whispered, "Father, why did Mother have to personally deliver the letter? Didn't they always say that the harem couldn't interfere in government? Isn't Mother a concubine?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and smiled calmly, "The harem can't interfere in government because most of the concubines are illiterate. They've only learned knitting and spinning since childhood, and their minds are filled with romantic relationships. If such people were to take on government, they would naturally be short-sighted and unlikely to achieve anything. But your mother—is she such a person?"
Xinping immediately said, "Of course not!"
“…”
"Even the teacher said that Mother's knowledge is much greater than that of some ministers, not to mention that of other women."
Zhu Feng frowned unconsciously.
Liu Yueze, Xinping hadn't mentioned this person for a long time. Mentioning him at this time reminded Zhu Feng of what happened in the past, and it was like plucking a thorn in his heart.
He said indifferently, "You haven't forgotten your teacher yet."
Xinping's heart trembled slightly.
She had not mentioned Liu Yueze over the years because when she was unconscious, she heard Nan Yan whisper in her ear that Liu Yueze could have joined the cabinet, but because of her relationship, the emperor forcibly transferred him to Shu, and it was very likely that he would never be able to return to the capital again. She felt guilty, and after waking up, the little girl secretly made up her mind to never mention Liu Yueze easily again in her life and never hurt him again.
Now that it was mentioned casually, it unexpectedly brought back unpleasant memories for the emperor.
She immediately lowered her head and said softly, "My son, I just remember this teacher. I don't mean anything else."
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, but he didn't seem to be furious. He simply said, "Your teacher's kindness cannot be forgotten. This is your good point. However, some people don't need to be remembered for years. After all, he now has a wife and children, and there are many people who care about him. He doesn't need others to worry about him anymore."
Xinping opened his eyes slightly.
After a while, he lowered his head again and said softly, "I know."
Speaking of that little bit of affection she had shared as a child, she had long forgotten it. After all, she was still young at that time, so how could she really understand what love was? It was just that when she suddenly heard Zhu Feng say this, she felt a little lost. It turned out that after so many years of absence, this teacher had already started a family and established a career.
On the contrary, it seems that he is still useless and even drags down his father and mother.
She sat there with her head down, looking extremely aggrieved.
Zhu Chengjun, standing by, cautiously glanced at his sister, then at his father. He knew nothing about the "teacher," but he keenly sensed that this was something that would displease his father, who might even blame his sister. He thought for a moment, then cautiously said, "Father, let Mother deliver the letter. What exactly will it say?"
Zhu Feng then turned around and looked at him.
Then he said, "You participated in this battle personally, and you know the whole story. If you were to draft the letter, what would you write?"
Zhu Chengjun blinked: "I...?"
At the same time, Nan Yan had already climbed onto the three-story platform.
It had rained for several days in a row, and all the rain from heaven had gone. Now the sky was clear without a cloud in the sky. The scorching sun shone directly on the earth, and the ground was like a red-hot stone slab. Although the soldiers standing around the platform did not dare to move, they were all tanned red and black, and sweating profusely.
However, when Nan Yan walked onto the platform, her face was pale and there was not even a drop of sweat.
Li Wushang, who had been sitting on the platform waiting, raised his head. When he met her gaze, he even felt a chill coming over him, which spread throughout his limbs in an instant.
His heart trembled.
Nan Yan slowly walked up to him and sat down opposite him.
She was as cold as ice. Even without looking into her eyes, one could feel the emotionless coldness emanating from her.
And after the cold, there is pain.
Li Wushang slowly closed his hands on the table and clenched them into fists.
But even so, the dull pain still came in waves, as if someone was constantly stabbing his heart with a knife. He finally understood why there was news from Yan Kingdom this time. The letter was actually sent by this imperial concubine. Nan Yan, who had never taken the initiative to see him, would come to meet him this time at the risk of the world's condemnation.
It wasn't just because he stabbed Zhu Feng with that sword.
It’s also because Nan Yan wants to return the sword to him!
