Chapter 1156 Bring Prince Ning to me
"I've been wondering these past few days how the Jian family, who didn't have any enemies, could have suffered such a tragic annihilation."
“…”
"The only possibility is—"
"What is it?"
"He took it from the ship."
Zhu Feng frowned, and the faint lines between his eyebrows appeared even deeper under the flickering candlelight.
Nan Yan said, "Although I don't know what it is, he used the identity of a negotiator for Prince Ning to board that ship, and then abandoned his own elegant gentleman's identity to steal something from the mysterious ship owner. It must be very important."
Zhu Feng was silent for a while before he said, "I also want to know what that is."
“…”
"That's why we kept Prince Ning here until now."
Nan Yan's heart trembled slightly, and she looked up at him.
Zhu Feng said, "I have many things I want to ask him."
“…”
“This is one of them.”
For some reason, his words and the gleam that suddenly flashed in his eyes at this moment made Nan Yan feel a little uneasy.
She subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, what else do you want to ask him?"
“…”
Zhu Feng glanced at her but said nothing.
Just when the two fell silent, Ran Xiaoyu walked in.
Like those people, she did not go in directly, but just stood at the door and said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, everything outside has been cleaned up."
The commotion just now almost demolished the Jian family's mourning hall.
Therefore, Zhu Feng asked the officers to arrest those who came to cause trouble, and at the same time asked Ran Xiaoyu to take some people to reorganize the Jian family's mourning hall.
Zhu Feng said, "Have someone stay here and don't allow anyone else to come in."
"yes."
After everything was settled, Zhu Feng looked down at her again.
"We should go back."
“…”
Nan Yan nodded without saying anything, and prepared to stand up with the help of the handrail, but a dull pain in her ankle made her fall back down.
“Hmm!”
Upon seeing her appearance, Zhu Feng frowned, quickly squatted down and held up her ankles.
Nan Yan suddenly became anxious and wanted to pull her hands back, but he held her tightly and wouldn't let go. She lifted the corner of her clothes and saw that her ankles and knees had been kicked in the chaos. She had been holding it in without saying anything, but now they were swollen.
Zhu Feng's brows knitted into a knot: "Why don't you say it?"
“…”
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and remained silent.
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath.
He didn't say anything more, but stretched out his hand and picked her up.
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat, but looking at his firm chin and cold eyes, she did not refuse anymore. She just leaned in his arms with her head lowered.
Zhu Feng carried her out.
When they walked out, the house, which was originally empty, returned to peace again.
However, in the dark night, a pair of eyes darker than the night were following them.
Until the figure disappeared into the night.
The thin figure slowly turned around and blended into the night.
Everything returned to silence again.

The carriage drove into a long corridor, and the palace gate was in front.
Ran Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
The people around also breathed a sigh of relief.
Too many thrilling things happened tonight. Although the assassin failed, it is inevitable that he will make a comeback, so a large number of people were dispatched to escort the emperor and the concubine back to the palace.
Finally, I returned to the palace safely.
She looked back at the carriage with its doors and windows closed.
Although the emperor suddenly appeared and rescued the imperial concubine when there was turmoil in the mourning hall, which indeed moved them all, she even thought that since the two of them had been in a cold war since they were in Hecheng, perhaps their relationship could be eased a little.
But, judging by their expressions, it seemed that they didn't.
All the way, she sat outside, listening to the sound of the wheels knocking on the ground, trying to hear the sound inside the carriage, but she could not hear anything.
They seemed to be talking, but also seemed to be silent.
Finally, the palace gate opened.
Unexpectedly, I saw several people at the palace gate.
It was Empress Xu Miaoyin and the Left Prime Minister He Yi. They were standing at the bottom of the steps looking over here. They had obviously received news from outside and came here specially to welcome the emperor.
The carriage stopped and Zhu Feng got off immediately.
"emperor!"
Xu Miaoyin walked forward and saw the bloody bandage wrapped around his arm. She exclaimed in surprise, "The Emperor is injured!"
Zhu Feng glanced down and said calmly, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."
At this time, Ran Xiaoyu also helped Nan Yan get off the carriage. Seeing that she was not standing steadily, Xu Miaoyin asked, "Is the imperial concubine also injured?"
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Queen, for your concern. I'm fine."
Seeing that both of them had similar opinions, Xu Miaoyin knew it clearly and didn't say much.
Zhu Feng said: "Crane clothes."
He Yi had been standing aside in silence until he stepped forward: "I am here."
"Has the Dali Temple handled it?"
"Your Majesty means—"
"Prince Ning."
He Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "The Dali Temple is still investigating."
"Is Prince Ning's injury healed?"
He was referring to the injury to Prince Ning's throat that he had suffered before, which was the same as when Nan Yan fell into the sea. It almost endangered his life and he had been unable to speak.
He Yi said: "It hasn't fully recovered."
"That is to say, some of it has been recovered."
"this--"
Zhu Feng turned around and glanced at him: "I will interrogate Prince Ning tonight."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around was shocked.
Nan Yan's breath hitched slightly, and she turned to look at him. He Yi's brows knitted together, and he subconsciously said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid..."
Zhu Feng said coldly: "He Yi, and Queen, I know that you have something that you have been hiding from me."
“…”
As soon as the words came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
From Heyi, to Xu Miaoyin, and even to Nanyan, everyone's expressions froze for a moment.
Zhu Feng looked at them, his eyes calm but with a hint of thorns. He said coldly, "But you must understand one thing: I am the emperor."
“…”
"What I want to do and what I want to know are not under your control."
He Yi and Xu Miaoyin were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.
"I dare not."
"I dare not."
Although Nan Yan had already planned to turn around and return to the cold palace, she stopped at this moment and said subconsciously: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng didn't look at her, but only looked down at Xu Miaoyin and He Yi with a calm gaze. He said, "Whether you dare or not, it doesn't matter. But what's happening now is no longer something you can manipulate or control."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the imperial study.
From afar, his words were heard on the night wind——
"Bring Prince Ning to me."
