Chapter 1828 The weather is warming
Hearing him say this, a smile flashed in Chu Xin's eyes.
But she turned and left without saying a word.
But when she turned around and left, the tips of her ears turned red and even her face felt slightly hot.
But Li Lai looked at her with a cold gaze.
He waited until Chu Xin's back completely disappeared before muttering softly, "Is there someone taking action in Bailong City? This matter must be reported immediately."
After saying that, he looked up at the sky again.
He let out a deep breath and turned back to his room.
In a blink of an eye, it was dark.
Although he had only been away for two or three days, a lot of things had been left in the study. After Zhu Feng finished dealing with them, he pondered over the map for a long time. When he went out again, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
It was pitch black outside.
As soon as he opened the door of the study, Zhu Feng immediately felt a gust of wind blowing.
But it’s not that cold.
Xiao Shunzi looked back at the coat hanging on the hanger and said softly, "Your Majesty, can you please let me add another piece of clothing for you?"
Zhu Feng originally had a hot body and was not afraid of the cold at all. At this time, he shook his head and said, "No need."
“…”
"If I put on more clothes, I'll feel hot."
Xiao Shunzi smiled and said, "I also thought that the emperor's health is better than that of the rest of the world. And the weather has warmed up a lot recently."
"Really?"
"Yes, the ice and snow have melted in many places."
"……oh?"
Originally, the warming weather was a good thing, but for some reason, when Zhu Feng heard that the ice and snow had melted, a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Xiao Shunzi was a little confused and didn't know what he had said wrong.
I can only look at him cautiously.
Zhu Feng stood at the door, frowning slightly as he thought about something. After a long while, he let out a deep breath and walked down the stairs.
Xiao Shunzi hurriedly followed him: "Where is the emperor going? Let me get a lantern."
"No need."
Zhu Feng just waved his hand and said, "I'll go see the imperial concubine."
“…”
"The road is short, no need for lanterns."
"yes."
Xiao Shunzi could only follow obediently.
As the two walked down the stairs, they heard a whistling sound above their heads. They looked up, but the dark sky made it almost impossible for them to see anything. However, they knew it was the sound of birds flapping their wings.
Xiao Shunzi smiled apologetically and said, "It's true that the weather has become warmer."
“…”
"A few days ago, there was no living creature to be seen, whether in the sky or on the snow. Recently, we can even see birds."
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, but didn't say anything. However, his eyes became darker.
He walked forward with a serious expression.
After a while, they arrived outside the imperial concubine's residence, but as soon as they reached the gate, Zhu Feng stopped.
Xiao Shunzi followed him with his head down, but he couldn't stop in time and almost bumped into his back.
He whispered, "Your Majesty, why don't you go in?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm not going in."
“…”
"Go, go see Gu Yiyou."
“……?”
Xiao Shunzi was a little puzzled. He was clearly here to visit the imperial concubine, so why didn't he go in as soon as he reached the door? The emperor had never done this before.
However, Zhu Feng had already turned around and walked to the other side.
Xiao Shunzi had no choice but to follow again.
As he walked, he looked back and saw that the light was still on in the imperial concubine's room, but it was dim and he could see the figure of someone inside. However, he didn't have time to see clearly and followed Zhu Feng away.
I felt very confused.
There is someone in the imperial concubine's room. Who is it?
Moreover, even the emperor came here and we still have to avoid him!
However, since even the emperor didn't say anything, he naturally didn't dare to say much. However, when he saw the emperor turn around and walk to the other side just now, the expression on his face didn't seem to be angry.
But his eyes looked very solemn.
I don’t know what it’s for.
Xiao Shunzi followed carefully.
On the other side, in Nan Yan's room, a candlelight kept flickering, making the room seem dim and unclear, but no one wanted to light another lamp.
Even Ran Xiaoyu just stood quietly in the corner.
Looking at Xue Ling's face with a complicated expression under the flickering candlelight.
Because she was standing in the corner, the weak candlelight could hardly illuminate Ran Xiaoyu's face, making her exude a gloomy aura.
It seemed as if he was about to reach out and punch the person in front of him to death at any time.
Xue Ling couldn't help but look at her.
At this time, Nan Yan, who was sitting on the couch, coughed lightly, which immediately brought her back to her senses. Nan Yan only glanced at the murderous look on Ran Xiaoyu's face with the corner of her eye, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
But he didn't say much, just said: "Why did you think of coming to see me?"
Xue Ling raised her head and asked, "Didn't the Queen ask me to come here at night?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "When did I say that?"
Xue Ling asked, "When the Majesty coughed three times in Chu Xin's room, didn't she ask me to talk about it at three o'clock in the morning?"
“…”
Nan Yan's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at her.
After a while, she smiled faintly and said, "As expected of a young lady from a wealthy family, you are indeed very thoughtful."
Xue Ling's eyes also flashed slightly.
Her expression seemed more serious than before, and she said, "How dare I flaunt my little thoughts in front of the Imperial Concubine?"
Nan Yan smiled.
Xue Ling asked carefully, "My Lady, when you came back today, have you already found the antidote from my brother?"
Nan Yan said: "If it weren't for your guidance, we wouldn't have been so successful."
Xue Ling smiled.
But immediately, Nan Yan added, "However, it was you who originally poisoned Ye Zheng. I will not thank you. This is just the first step in your repayment."
Having said this, Ran Xiaoyu, who had been silent all this time, let out a deep breath.
Xue Ling said carefully, "I understand."
Nan Yan said: "As long as you understand."
“…”
"However, although I have obtained the antidote, there is one thing I don't understand."
"What is there that you don't understand, Madam?"
"Since you are determined to detoxify Ye Zheng and also want to unite with us, why didn't you tell me from the beginning?"
Xue Ling glanced at her and said, "I must poison Lord Ye."
“…”
"Otherwise, he wouldn't survive."
“…”
She probably had guessed that Xue Yun would definitely tell them about her and Ji Santing, so she didn't say much gossip.
Nan Yan also understood and nodded.
Xue Ling continued, "But, since I was the one who poisoned her, then at that time, the Queen must have hated me to the core and wanted to kill me."
“…”
"Even if I tell her again, Her Majesty won't believe me."
“…”
"They will just think that I made up a story to gain the Empress's sympathy."
