Chapter 2891: Shouldn't Scold Concubine Yao
Zhu Feng asked, "Why, do you have something to ask me?"
Nan Yan said, "Yes."
"What do you want to ask?"
“…”
Nan Yan didn't ask immediately. Instead, she looked into Zhu Feng's eyes for a moment, then asked, "The emperor went to interrogate Long Tingyun, right?"
“…”
The atmosphere in Yonghe Palace seemed to be quiet again.
Zhu Feng looked at Nan Yan. Although his expression did not change, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of unknown emotion flashed in his eyes.
He said, "Why, have you been keeping an eye on me?"
Nan Yan immediately said, "It's not for anything else, it's just that the emperor's injuries haven't healed yet, and I'm worried that he won't take care of his body again, so I asked people to keep an eye on him."
Zhu Feng said, "You should be more restrained."
“…”
"When I was unconscious, I could at least say you were in charge, and I could ignore what the censors said. But now that I'm awake, you're still behaving like this. Won't that lead to a memorial to accuse you?"
Nan Yan pouted: "I understand."
Although she knew Zhu Feng disliked those censors, the rule of "no offense, no offense" was established by Emperor Gao, and it did help officials monitor the emperor's every word and action. It was just that these people were too sharp-eyed, and Nan Yan had recently come to the fore, so many things had been exposed to them. Naturally, these people filed memorials to accuse her one after another.
If they were to catch her again, the Imperial Concubine would monitor the Emperor's whereabouts—
That would be enough to make her drink a pot of wine.
She could only secretly decide to go and say hello to Tingfu and the others after coming down, and no longer have to keep an eye on Zhu Feng every day.
Although, she was really worried about his injuries.
Nan Yan then asked, "Then, did the emperor go to interrogate Long Tingyun?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Said: "Yeah."
Nan Yan immediately shifted her sitting position and turned to face him: "So, how is it? Did you find out anything during the interrogation?"
Zhu Feng looked at her again.
Then he said, “Yeah.”
“…”
Nan Yan blinked.
She felt that when talking about the interrogation of Long Tingyun and the results of the interrogation, Zhu Feng's mood seemed a little off. Although he couldn't be said to be unhappy, he always looked at her with a complicated look, which felt a bit strange.
Nan Yan whispered, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, as if he had been thinking deeply for a long time, and then he said, "Don't ask about this matter for now."
“…”
"I will take care of it."
Nan Yan frowned.
You know, Zhu Feng took her with him on the previous tour of Shazhou Wei, and she knew the whole story of the elimination of the sand bandits in Reyuewan. As for the matter of the Earthly Immortal Society, Zhu Feng also told her from the beginning. In fact, in some of his spare time, he even specifically told her about some things in the court and taught her how to deal with them.
If she were a prince, she even had reason to believe that Zhu Feng would want to enthrone her as the crown prince.
Zhu Feng never hesitated to talk about state affairs in front of her.
Even the saying "the harem cannot interfere in politics" was nothing to him. He always guided himself to learn how to handle state affairs.
But why, she knew everything about Long Tingyun all along, but when she finally caught him and got some results from the interrogation, Zhu Feng didn't tell her?
Nan Yan frowned slightly: "Is there something that I can't know?"
“…”
"Or—"
Speaking of this, Nan Yan's eyes flickered slightly.
She said in a complicated tone: "Your Majesty, you don't even believe me?"
Zhu Feng looked up at her for a while, but did not say anything immediately. Instead, he raised his hand. However, because of the wound on his chest, if he sat like that, raising his hand would pull on the wound, so he could only raise his hand halfway.
Nan Yan understood and extended her hand.
Then, it was held at the fingertips.
Just like before, his hands were still warm and rough. When he held my fingertips in his hands and gently kneaded them, I had an indescribable feeling, as if everything from my fingertips to my heart was soothed.
Zhu Feng said: "Don't let your imagination run wild."
“…”
"I don't disbelieve you—you are the only one I can trust."
"That--"
"But I want to solve this matter alone."
Although he said this in a light tone, his eyes were solemn. For a moment, Nan Yan even had an illusion that she saw the bloodthirsty Prince Yan who was holding a bloody long knife and killing his way into Jinling City, the Imperial Palace, and Jiaotai Hall when they first met.
Who was he thinking of in his heart?
Nan Yan thought about it and said nothing, but just held his hand with her backhand.
She whispered, "Your Majesty, please do whatever you want. I will always be here."
“…”
"The only thing I'm worried about is the emperor's health and safety."
“…”
"No matter what, as long as Your Majesty can take care of myself a little more, I will be relieved. For everything else, I will listen to Your Majesty."
Hearing her say this, Zhu Feng nodded slightly.
As if talking to himself, he murmured, "Don't worry."
“…”
"If I can beat him once, I can beat him a second time."
Hearing this, Nan Yan's fingertips trembled slightly.
But she simply lowered her eyelids calmly, and her long eyelashes hid the faint flicker in her eyes.
The two of them sat quietly for a while. The sun outside slowly moved from the ground to Zhu Feng's feet. He looked down and said, "Okay, nothing much here. I have to go to the cabinet to discuss matters with them."
Nan Yan then withdrew her hand, stood up and walked with him to the door.
He asked, "Will the Emperor come over for lunch?"
Zhu Feng shook his head.
"And tonight?"
Zhu Feng turned around and glanced at her, then said, "I won't be coming over for the next two days."
Nan Yan said, "Oh."
She seemed a little lost, and as if she was thinking about something, with her head lowered.
Zhu Feng looked at her slightly pointed chin. She had gained some weight in the past few days, but it had all been lost during this period. Although he had let her have a good rest in the past two days, it would take time to recover her strength and energy.
Zhu Feng said: "Eat well and have a good rest."
"yes."
After thinking for a while, Zhu Feng continued, "There's one more thing."
Nan Yan asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything else you would like to order?"
Zhu Feng said, "Don't move over there at Jingyixuan."
“…”
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Zhu Feng continued, "It's nothing serious, so don't call anyone over and scold them."
Nan Yan looked up at him and whispered, "Your Majesty, are you saying that I shouldn't scold Concubine Yao?"
