Chapter 1296 Sure enough, it’s the imperial concubine again?
The rain is still falling.
Eunuch Yu returned to the imperial study with a few young eunuchs. Although Zhu Feng did not allow them to follow him, he had some idea where he was going.
I felt relieved, but also a little worried.
As for the emperor, he had followed him for so many years and knew how deep his feelings for the imperial concubine were. It was understandable that the emperor was angry when the imperial concubine had a miscarriage this time, but the two were still young after all and had many opportunities. They should not cut off all the love and happiness in the future because of one mistake.
Therefore, Zhu Feng is willing to meet her. It would be a good thing if the two of them could reconcile.
However, his worry also came from this incident.
Even he knew that although the emperor was angry, he still had feelings for the imperial concubine. How could Concubine Ning not see it?
It is obvious, so how could she encourage the emperor to visit the imperial concubine in the cold palace?
Is there any conspiracy behind this?
Just as he was thinking, the door of the imperial study behind him was pushed open. Because the door was pushed too hard, it hit the walls on both sides with a loud clanging sound. Eunuch Yu was startled and his hand shook, almost knocking over a teacup on the table.
He put the teacup down with both hands and looked back, only to see Zhu Feng walking in.
My whole body was soaked by the rain.
Eunuch Yu was terrified and hurried forward: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng's face was gloomy, his body was soaked, and there was rain on his face. No one knew where he came from, but at this time he didn't seem to feel cold at all. As soon as he walked in, he sat down behind the table.
When the young eunuchs saw this, they all stood there cautiously, not daring to breathe.
Eunuch Yu looked at them, waved his hand, and asked them to go out.
Several people left the imperial study as if they had survived a disaster, leaving Eunuch Yu alone. Although he had served Zhu Feng for many years and knew that he was not a good-tempered person, it was still rare to see him like this.
He said carefully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been caught in the rain. Would you like me to have someone prepare a bath?"
“…”
"Or, change your clothes to avoid catching a cold."
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything.
His heavy breath echoed in the quiet imperial study.
It was clearly just the sound of breathing, but it faintly carried the sound of a wild beast's growl, which was frightening.
Eunuch Yu gritted his teeth and could only speak to himself, "Then, let me make a cup of hot tea for His Majesty to drive away the cold."
After saying that, he held the teacup that was almost broken just now, walked to the other side, brewed a cup of hot tea, and then came back to put it next to Zhu Feng's hand. He didn't dare to urge him, so he just held his hands and stood beside him.
The imperial study became quiet.
Zhu Feng's breath gradually calmed down, but the violent storm outside showed no sign of stopping.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Feng reached out and held the teacup.
He did not drink the tea, but stared at the tea in it with a gloomy look, as if he wanted to see a hole in the teacup. Eunuch Yu was standing by, not knowing what to say, when suddenly, he heard a "clang".
The teacup cracked in his hand!
"emperor!"
Eunuch Yu screamed in fear. Zhu Feng actually crushed the teacup!
The boiling hot tea spilled on his hand, and a few pieces of tea fell through his fingers and shattered on the ground. Eunuch Yu was so scared that he hurried forward to hold his hand and was about to shout for someone to call the imperial physician.
But Zhu Feng remained calm and said coldly, "Alright, get out."
"emperor."
"go out!"
His voice was low and calm with a sense of repression, as if a wild beast was trying hard to control the murderous intent in his heart. After experiencing the previous incident, Eunuch Yu knew too well that Zhu Feng must not be provoked at this time. He could only let go of his hand, saluted tremblingly, and walked out.
However, just as he was about to reach the door, Zhu Feng suddenly called him.
"Give the order and return to the capital the day after tomorrow!"
"ah?"
Eunuch Yu was shocked again.
Before, everyone was worried about his schedule to return to Beijing, but Zhu Feng never let anyone know. Everyone thought he would stay in Jinling for a while, but they didn't expect that he would suddenly return to Beijing.
But, so soon——
Eunuch Yu hesitated for a moment, but seeing Zhu Feng's expression, he didn't dare to ask more questions. He responded hurriedly and went down to give the order.
Zhu Feng's words immediately threw the entire Jinling Palace into chaos.
Naturally, no one dared to disobey the emperor's order. Even the queen in Yonghe Palace started to get busy, packing their luggage and preparing to return to Beijing.
The next day, Ye Zheng was also shocked when he heard the news.
He entered the palace originally to see the emperor, but when he heard the news suddenly, he turned around and headed towards the cold palace.
He knew that no one was in charge of the cold palace now, and no one would notify them. Now he had to tell Ran Xiaoyu quickly and let her prepare, so as to avoid being in a hurry and suffering on the way.
However, as soon as he reached the door of the cold palace, he was stopped by the guards standing there.
Ye Zheng said doubtfully, "I went in to see Ran Xiaoyu. The emperor allowed it."
The two guards said expressionlessly, "Master Ye, please forgive me. The emperor has just issued an order that no one is allowed to enter the cold palace."
"What?"
Ye Zheng frowned: "I can't go in either?"
The guard remained expressionless: "No one is allowed to do that."
“…”
Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment, feeling something was wrong.
Before, Zhu Feng had let him in to see Ran Xiaoyu, and even turned a blind eye to him bringing in food and drinks. Now he suddenly doesn't allow him to go in. Did something happen?
He hurried back and arrived at the imperial study, but found the door closed.
Eunuch Yu and the others were standing outside.
Ye Zheng hurriedly asked, "Where is the emperor?"
Eunuch Yu pointed inside, and the people around him didn't even dare to move or breathe.
Ye Zheng couldn't help but lower his voice: "Can't go in?"
"Who dares?"
“…”
"It's been the whole night, and there's been no sound. Even when the Queen came over, they ignored her."
“…”
It seems that something went wrong.
Ye Zheng frowned and said, "What happened? Why did the emperor suddenly want to return to the capital, and—"
Eunuch Yu carefully glanced inside, making sure Zhu Feng hadn't come out. Then he whispered in his ear, "Today, after offering sacrifices at the Da Ci'en Temple, the Emperor returned to the palace and went out alone. I suspect he went to the cold palace."
"Cold Palace?!"
"Yeah, but when I got back, that's it."
“…”
Ye Zheng's eyes flickered slightly.
Sure enough, it’s the imperial concubine again?
It seems that only the imperial concubine could cause him to have such a big reaction, but what exactly happened?
