Chapter 3332: Is this the end of this matter?
He turned around and said to Zhu Feng in surprise, "Grandpa Uncle is no longer in the Duwei Mansion."
"What?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then hurried over: "Not in the Duwei Mansion?"
In fact, as they entered through the main gate, they noticed that the servants and guards within the palace, though solemn, were not in mourning, which was a bit strange. Of course, they must have had their concerns, after all, the Emperor was still present, and they might not dare to wear mourning clothes for the old uncle. Nan Yan even wondered if the mourning hall was set up in the side rooms and planned to go over to take a look.
But unexpectedly, the person was no longer in the Duwei Mansion.
Nan Yan asked, "What about the others?"
Zhu Chengjun said, "The day before yesterday, Master Chen returned with me and others. He packed up a bit and then sent someone to send my uncle away."
Nan Yan asked, "Sent away? Where did he go?"
Zhu Chengjun thought for a moment and said, "I heard they sent someone to escort the coffin back to my great-uncle's place of cultivation. He said that monks don't need such grand funeral rites, so they just sent it back to the mountain in a simple manner and buried it with my great-uncle's fellow cultivator."
Nan Yan couldn't help but look back at Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng didn't say much after hearing this. He was silent for a moment, then waved his hand: "Alright, I understand. You can go down."
Zhu Chengjun bowed and turned to leave.
Nan Yan glanced at Zhu Feng cautiously.
In reality, she also understood that Chen Zixiao couldn't be careless. With his intelligence, he probably guessed at some clues from the old uncle's last words. Even if he couldn't, there was He Yi involved; this might not have been He Yi's idea. Everyone was afraid of offending the emperor, so they didn't dare breathe heavily when passing by. If the old uncle were to set up a mourning hall in the Duwei Mansion and hold a grand memorial service, it would probably only inflame the emperor's wrath.
So, it is right to send him away early.
only--
She couldn't help but feel a little bit of worry in her heart for some unknown reason. Is this matter over?
Although it seems that the last person who knew about this matter, the old uncle of the emperor, has passed away, this matter may really be forgotten. No matter whether Zhu Feng will be tortured by nightmares in the future, no matter how many unspeakable words are hidden in He Yi's heart, this matter may really end here.
But for some reason, Nan Yan couldn't let it go.
Thinking of this, she looked up at Zhu Feng's still pale face, his expression also lost. She walked over and gently sat beside Zhu Feng, and asked softly, "What is the emperor thinking about?"
Zhu Feng said: "I'm thinking about what to do next."
"What's next?"
Nan Yan became a little nervous when she heard this and asked carefully, "What does the emperor intend to do—"
Zhu Feng said, "Since my uncle has been sent away, there are no other important matters at the Duwei Mansion. I can send Chen Zixiao to do another job."
Nan Yan asked, "What does the emperor want Master Chen to do?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "According to the date, the Parthian Empire's special envoys will arrive in about half a month."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.
She thought Zhu Feng was still immersed in the previous incident, and that what he was going to send Chen Zixiao to do must be related to that past event, but she didn't expect that he was actually thinking about the Parthian Empire's special envoys.
Seeing her bewildered face, as if she had just woken from a dream, Zhu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "The only thing on your mind is the matter of your uncle. You have forgotten everything else, right?"
Nan Yan couldn't help scratching the back of her head.
"I really forgot."
"You."
Zhu Feng reached out and poked her on the forehead.
Nan Yan was shaken by his prodding, and she patted her forehead in a daze. Then she looked at Zhu Feng carefully and said softly: "I thought that the emperor would be upset for a long time because of my uncle's incident. The emperor was like that that night, just like before. I was really worried-"
Zhu Feng smiled calmly.
Then he said, "You should thank Xue Yun."
“…”
"If it weren't for her, I might not know what I would be like now. But I'm fine now."
“…”
"As for that matter—"
At this point, a subtle hint of sadness flashed across his eyes, and he said calmly, "I have indeed been troubled by that incident over the years, but it is, after all, a thing of the past. If I had only dwelled on the pain of the past, I would have been unable to move on. No matter how important this matter is, it is not as important as the present."
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
This is where Zhu Feng is clear-headed.
No matter how much he wanted to find out the truth from many years ago, it never affected what he was doing at the moment. In fact, although he was troubled by the amnesia he suffered in his youth, it never affected the direction he wanted to go.
This is the decisiveness that a person who accomplishes great things should have.
Compared with Zhu Feng, it was Nan Yan herself who couldn't let go of this matter.
Nan Yan sighed softly, then said, "So, regarding the matter of the Parthian envoy, how does the Emperor intend to have Chen Zixiao arrange it?"
Zhu Feng said, "The last time, we summoned the special envoys to White Dragon City. This time, I still plan to meet them there."
Nan Yan said, "Is that the Lotus Heart Hall?"
"Um."
"Isn't that burned down?"
"It's been fixed long ago."
Zhu Feng said, "After Yan Ye gave me the deed to that place, I sent people to take over Bailong City and also took over the Lotus Heart Hall. I also sent people to renovate it. Although I have never been there, I always thought it might be of some use. Now it seems that it is really useful."
Nan Yan glanced at him and just said "hmm" without saying much.
If it were any other time, she would definitely be unhappy if she heard Zhu Feng mention Xue Yun and talk about the Lianxin Club, and she would have to criticize Zhu Feng. But this time, she swallowed her unhappiness and just listened obediently.
Zhu Feng, on the other hand, felt that she was too well-behaved and couldn't help but glance at her.
He immediately noticed the awkwardness on her face, and felt a little sad and a little amused. In the end, he just reached out and pinched her: "You."
Nan Yan also let him twist it obediently.
After a moment of silence, Nan Yan spoke up, "Since the Parthian Empire's special envoys are about to arrive, shouldn't we go to Bailong City ahead of time and make some preparations? The Emperor nearly suffered a loss there before, so this time, we must send more people and not let them take advantage of us again."
Zhu Feng smiled.
In fact, at the moment, Zhu Chengjin's forces have been destroyed, and Arslan's White Tiger City has also been destroyed. For the time being, he will not face too much danger.
But since Nan Yan said so, he naturally had to listen.
So he said: "That's why I plan to let Chen Zixiao go over and make preparations first."
Nan Yan said, "Then, when will the emperor take me over to take a look?"
