Chapter 725 The answer lies in these two people
This matter makes sense in terms of cause and effect, and also makes sense in terms of common sense.
But, it is too common, which makes people feel a little strange.
Moreover, Nan Yan had been in Kulun City for such a long time and had been with him day and night, but Monk had never mentioned this matter.
Now that it has been done, there is no need to hide it.
Or, he did it, but for some reason he can't admit it?
This matter is either as simple as that, or it is much deeper and more complicated than the current situation.
Which one should they believe?
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Feng said in a serious tone, "We need to investigate this matter further before we can come to a conclusion. But the answer may lie with these two people."
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
The pigeon on the table was still pecking at the pastry crumbs she had just sprinkled on it carefree, cooing carefreely. Nan Yan reached out and gently stroked the pigeon's smooth feathers.
Zhu Feng looked at her: "You, don't you want to take a break?"
Nan Yan shook her head. "Xiao Yu told me I've been sleeping for two or three days now, and my bones are almost stiff. I want to get up and move around."
"That's fine. But you're only allowed to walk around here."
“…”
"After all, you had a miscarriage before. Now is not the time for you to move around freely."
"I know."
Nan Yan nodded in agreement, then looked at him and whispered, "Your Majesty, are you planning to stay in Prince Yan's Mansion in Beiping for a whole year this time?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and asked, "Did they tell you?"
"This is a big deal."
"Yes, that's right. I have already issued an order to use Prince Yan's Mansion as a temporary palace. For the next year, all government affairs will be handled here."
"I'm afraid the ministers in the court won't be so easy to appease."
"So what?" Zhu Feng said coldly, "I'm already in Peking. They can't come and kidnap me back to Nanjing."
“…”
"It's just that it takes longer for memorials from the south to arrive here. However, affairs in the north are much easier to handle. And—"
"And what?"
"Besides, I am not as constrained here as I was in Jinling."
After hearing this, Nan Yan immediately understood a little.
Zhu Feng has been in Peking for more than ten years since he was enthroned as King of Yan at the age of eighteen, and his roots are also in the north.
So, when he arrived in Jinling, although it was in the capital, the people and things there were all forced upon him. As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. He would definitely encounter many obstacles in doing things.
But it’s different in Beijing.
Even the areas around Peking, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi and Shandong, were all his confidants.
Shandong...
Henan...
Nan Yan frowned, and something came to her mind.
Zhu Feng said, "That's just right. I can also keep an eye on the construction of Beiping City."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Nan Yan, only to see that she was frowning, as if she was trying very hard to think about something. He immediately reached out and rubbed her brow, saying, "Don't frown."
“…”
"Do you want your child to be born with a wrinkled and miserable face?"
“…”
"You must be happy every day for me and not act like this."
Unexpectedly, he was even considering this.
Nan Yan was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry. She quickly relaxed her brows to show that she was not sad at all, and then said, "Your Majesty, I just suddenly remembered something and forgot to tell you."
"Oh? What's up?"
"Arslan took me out of Xingluo Lake and headed north along the Grand Canal. However, at the Shandong border, where the Grand Canal meets the Yellow River, he brought us ashore."
When Zhu Feng heard this, he frowned.
He said, “I know this.”
“…”
"Not long after you left, I led my men along the canal to chase your boat. That's why I know where you landed."
"Then, does the Emperor know where we went later?"
"That's it. My people didn't follow."
“…”
"However, I guessed that he would definitely take you further north, and Peking was the only way to go, so I rode straight to Peking at full speed."
No wonder he was able to arrive so coincidentally at that time, and even had the gates of Peking closed when they were about to leave the city.
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
She said, "However, we didn't go directly to Beiping. Instead, we went to Hecheng."
"Crane City?"
Zhu Feng frowned.
"What are you going to Crane City for?"
Nan Yan said, "He took us to a mansion, but that mansion had no name. We stayed there for two days, and Arslan seemed to have met someone there."
“…”
"But I couldn't find it."
“…”
"Besides, he was almost killed."
"Killed?"
"That's right."
Zhu Feng's expression became more serious.
"Where is that house?"
“…”
Nan Yan thought hard for a while, until her head ached, but she still couldn't remember. She could only say dejectedly, "I don't know, because it was already dark when I arrived, and I'm not familiar with that area, so—"
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhu Feng carefully.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
“…”
Zhu Feng was originally frowning and thinking about this matter, but when he heard her say this, he glared at her again.
"Did I blame you?"
"Uh, no."
"snort!"
Nan Yan stuck out her tongue and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, is there any problem with this?"
Zhu Feng looked at her and said calmly, "Even the King of Beili has controlled so many wealthy businessmen within our country. It's inevitable that the King of Nanli and his men will use such tactics as well."
“…”
"But, who could they be?"
At this point, his tone became a little subtle.
Nan Yan's heart seemed to become a little clearer.
Hecheng is located on the border between Henan and Shandong.
An ownerless house.
Someone was trying to assassinate him there. Obviously, it must be someone who had a grudge against him.
Could it be——
Her breathing quickened slightly.
The two of them were so close that Zhu Feng immediately sensed her slightest movement and turned to look at her.
But, no one asked.
After a very brief silence, he only said: "I know about this matter."
“…”
"Don't worry, I will take care of it."
"Um."
Nan Yan nodded obediently.
Maybe it was really because of her pregnancy that she couldn't remember to tell Zhu Feng about many important things right away. However, she wanted to tell him everything while she could remember.
So, she was still trying hard to think of what else had happened in the past few days that she had not thought of telling Zhu Feng.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Zhu Feng say, "Aren't you going to reply?"
"Why?"
Nan Yan looked up at him in surprise: "What?"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows: "Your 'cousin' sent you a letter, so you won't reply to him?"
