Chapter 58 The King Doesn’t Want to See Her Today
This sentence seemed to poke Zhu Feng again. He looked up at He Yi coldly. He Yi still smiled and said, "It's getting late. Your Highness, it's better for you to make a decision soon."
Zhu Feng said, "Let Ye Zheng follow."
“…”
He Yi was stunned: "Just him?"
"Didn't you say that the fewer people there are, the better, so that others won't think I'm bullying them?"
"but--"
"That's all right."
After saying this, Zhu Feng stood up from the table and said to Ye Zheng, "Pack your things and follow me out of the palace immediately."
Ye Zheng put his things away and hurried over: "Yes."
Watching their figures going away, He Yi shook his head gently. At this moment, Eunuch Yu walked in and looked at He Yi and said, "Master, is the prince going out?"
"Um."
"When will you be back? Can you prepare dinner for the prince?"
He Yi smiled faintly: "Get ready, I'll be back soon."
Eunuch Yu felt that his smile was a little teasing, but after all, this man had been following His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan from the Prince of Yan's Mansion, so his words were still trustworthy, so he gave the order.
Sure enough, at night, Zhu Feng came back with a dark face.
He Yi smiled and asked, "Your Highness, how is it?"
Zhu Feng didn't say anything. Ye Zheng said dejectedly, "Stop talking. I've been knocking on the door for ages, but no one came out to answer. Could it be that all the people in the Jian residence have gone out?"
He Yi said, "Maybe. You can wait until tomorrow to go and have a look."
Zhu Feng glanced at him and said coldly, "Go tomorrow."
After dinner, he quickly returned to Wuying Palace to rest. Ye Zheng hesitated whether to ask Si Nanyan to come over for the night shift, but he heard Zhu Feng lying on the bed say coldly: "No need, I don't want to see her today."
After hearing this, Ye Zheng didn't dare to say anything more and just sat obediently in the corner.
After a night of tossing and turning, they went out early the next day and headed to Zhaowenfang again. When they arrived outside Jian's mansion, it was just dawn. Zhu Feng was still riding on horseback and asked Ye Zheng to dismount and knock on the door.
But this time was better than the last time. After calling for half a day, a white-haired old man finally came out. He was a gatekeeper, but his hearing was not very good. After talking to him for a long time with gestures, he finally understood that the man was here to visit Jian Tongguang.
However, he said, "The master went out early this morning and will not be back today. Please go back."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Ye Zheng blinked his eyes and turned around embarrassedly, only to see that Zhu Feng's face had become extremely ugly. He pulled the reins, turned his horse's head and rode away. Ye Zheng hurriedly mounted his horse and chased after him.
It was just past noon when we returned to the palace.
After hearing about this, He Yi smiled and said, "In ancient times, sages would visit the thatched cottage three times before leaving the seclusion. Your Highness might as well go again tomorrow."
Zhu Feng's face was gloomy. After a long while, he said, "Okay, tomorrow, I will go one last time."
He Yi said, "Your Highness, there's no need to be angry. Scholars tend to have bad tempers. Your Highness, please be magnanimous and forgive me."
Zhu Feng said nothing, but pushed the door open and walked into the Huagai Palace.
The heat in the hall made him even more irritable.
He Yi walked behind him and whispered, "Your Highness, did you not sleep well these past two nights?"
Zhu Feng was already irritable, and his expression darkened even further at this moment: "Why do you care about this?"
He Yi laughed and said, "If you don't sleep well, you'll naturally feel tired. If you don't feel tired, how can you do things smoothly?"
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered slightly.
