Chapter 2032 Your Majesty, I am guilty!
Zhu Feng asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Zheng waved his hand, asking the soldier to withdraw, then immediately walked to the front of the pavilion, saluted them, and then said, "Your Majesty, the Empress is here."
"What?"
When these words were spoken, Zhu Feng and Nan Yan were both shocked.
The Queen? She's coming?
Zhu Feng frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
Ye Zheng hurriedly said, "How dare I, a humble official, take on such a major matter?"
“…”
"That person just came back and told me that there's a Peach Blossom Town ahead. The Empress has already arrived in the town and has prepared everything, waiting for the Emperor to arrive."
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned even more tightly.
Nan Yan, who was standing by, was also stunned.
You must know that without the emperor's summons and permission, concubines cannot enter and leave the palace at will, especially the empress. The greater her power in the harem, the more restrictions she will face.
Just like this time when Zhu Feng was patrolling the northwest, the queen had to ask for permission in advance if she wanted to go home to visit her family. Only with Zhu Feng's permission could she take action, but she would also be moving around in the capital.
So over the years, Nan Yan, as a noble concubine, was able to travel around the country with the emperor.
The queen spends most of her time in the palace.
As Zhu Feng's legal wife, Xu Miaoyin has always followed the rules since she became the Princess of Yan. After becoming the Queen, she has become even more cautious and prudent, never making a wrong step.
This time, she was a bit surprising.
Zhu Feng murmured, "I didn't send her an order to come and receive the emperor."
“…”
"Why did she end up here?"
Ye Zheng said, "I am also puzzled by this."
"what else?"
"I also asked, and it turns out that only the Queen and some of her entourage came. General Xu sent a group of people to protect them. No one else came."
The "others" he mentioned naturally referred to other concubines.
Zhu Feng remained silent.
Nan Yan looked at his gloomy expression, thought for a moment, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the Empress has always been steady. This time she left the palace to meet Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's something important."
“…”
"Why don't we hurry up and go to Taohua Town first to take a look."
Zhu Feng looked at her: "Are you okay?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "It's just hot. Ask Xiaoyu to fan me for a while."
In fact, she was also weird.
The queen's decision to drive him out like this was not only a violation of the harem's taboos, but also an act of violating the moral code of a woman.
I'm afraid she would only act like this if something really big happened.
I just don’t know, they have been away from the capital for more than half a year, what big thing has happened to make the queen like this?
Zhu Feng thought about it and said, "Okay, let's go."
So everyone got on their horses again, and Ran Xiaoyu hurried over to help Nan Yan get on the carriage.
He also did not forget to say: "Master Xue, follow closely."
Xue Yun hurriedly said, "Yes."
She mounted her horse and followed closely behind Nan Yan's carriage.
If it were any other time, Nan Yan would have smiled bitterly, watching Ran Xiaoyu as if she were guarding against a thief, but at this moment, she couldn't care less.
All I could think about was Xu Miaoyin.
Why on earth would she leave the palace and come so far to welcome the emperor?
The convoy was moving very fast this time. After about an hour, Ran Xiaoyu lifted a corner of the curtain and saw a peach forest in front of her.
This is mid-July, and the peach blossoms have all fallen.
The treetops and branches are full of plump peaches, so many fruits that they bend the branches.
Although peach blossoms are gorgeous and much more beautiful than simple peaches, Nan Yan prefers to see these plump fruits bending the branches. It is not only a beautiful reincarnation, but also means that hard work will be rewarded by God.
Such scenery is pleasing to the eyes.
But at this moment, she was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery, and just looked forward eagerly.
On the main road, there was a large memorial archway with a large plaque on it, inscribed with three large characters:
Taohua Town.
Although the scenery is beautiful and there are many peach trees, Taohua Town is just a small town on their way back to Beijing. In fact, when Ye Zheng and his team were planning the route, they did not even set it as a rest stop.
So this time I came here, I was not familiar with the road.
But it didn't matter, because soon they saw a few familiar people on the side of the road.
Standing by the roadside waiting.
Ye Zheng immediately rode forward. When a few people saw him, their eyes lit up. Then they saw the team behind him and hurried over to salute him. Ye Zheng raised his hand to stop them.
He said softly, "The Emperor doesn't want to reveal his whereabouts."
After hearing what he said, several people did not dare to act rashly.
He just whispered, "Yes."
Ye Zheng asked, "Where is the Empress?"
One of them said, "The Queen has booked a manor up ahead and is waiting for the arrival of the Holy Emperor."
"lead the way."
"yes."
So the group continued walking along the road.
There are not many people in Taohua Town, and it is not a place with convenient transportation or prosperous businesses. When they suddenly saw such a large group of people coming, many villagers came over curiously to watch and point.
Nan Yan didn't even dare to lift the curtain to look outside.
I just heard the wheels moving forward for a while, then turning into an alley, and it became much quieter here.
Finally, the sound of horse hooves ahead stopped.
Zhu Feng jumped off his horse.
The carriage also stopped. Ran Xiaoyu immediately helped Nan Yan get out of the car. Seeing Xue Yun still following, she said, "The Queen is inside, don't follow her for now. I'll have someone take you to find a place to rest. Don't come here casually. Otherwise-"
Xue Yun didn't understand what was going on at first. He was just wondering why they had stopped to rest before, but suddenly started to rush again.
And in such a hurry.
Now they had arrived at a place that was not in their plan. She was about to ask a question when she suddenly heard the word "Queen". Her eyes widened in surprise.
He whispered softly, "Empress...?"
The Queen is here too?!
Nan Yan glanced at her, thought for a moment, and then reminded her, "With your status, you can't go directly to see the Empress. Let someone take you down first. After the business is done, I will introduce you to the Empress."
"yes."
Tingfu came over immediately and took her to the other side.
Zhu Feng brought Nan Yan into the manor.
This manor seemed to have been built by a local squire. Although it was not very luxurious, it was elegant and quiet. A main road led directly to a hall inside.
From a distance, I could see someone inside.
Zhu Feng walked over with Nan Yan. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Queen Xu Miaoyin in a formal dress, with her personal maids, eunuchs, and all the people who followed her, all kneeling on the ground.
When Zhu Feng saw her like this, he frowned: "Queen, you——"
Xu Miaoyin kowtowed to the ground and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
