Chapter 1216 I Want to Confess My Crime to the Emperor
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud "clang", as if the entire Yiku Palace was shaking.
The cup in Zhu Feng's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Nan Yan looked up in shock, only to see his face livid. He angrily shouted, "What? They dared to detain my son! How dare they!"
"emperor--"
"Someone come!"
With a roar, the guards outside immediately walked in. Nan Yan was too frightened to stand up. She knelt on the ground, took a few steps forward, and hugged Zhu Feng's knees: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Eunuch Yu was so frightened that his face turned pale. Like Ran Xiaoyu, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The two guards walked in and were also shocked when they saw this scene, especially when they saw that the imperial concubine was actually kneeling in front of Zhu Feng and was about to kowtow. They were so scared that they dared not speak.
For a moment, the atmosphere was stagnant.
Zhu Feng's rage erupted at that moment, almost setting the entire Yikun Palace on fire. However, when he lowered his head, he saw Si Nanyan, the little girl, lying on his knees, trying to comfort him with a terrified look on her face, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please listen to me first..."
The fire of karma in my heart seemed to subside a little.
He took a deep breath.
He first waved at the two guards and said, "Get out first."
"yes."
The two guards hurriedly retreated again.
Zhu Feng lowered his head to look at her again, his eyes slightly red due to the anger. When he looked at Nan Yan, she felt a sense of suffocation and oppression.
He said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Tell me clearly."
After hearing that there was at least some rationality in his words and that he had dismissed the guards, Nan Yan finally let go of his knees, knelt down and took a step back, kowtowed again, and then told him everything that had happened in Zhujian Academy.
“…”
Zhu Feng remained silent, his eyes becoming even darker.
"So, the King of Wei is innocent."
"certainly."
Nan Yan said hurriedly, "Even if the emperor doesn't believe anything else, he will always believe his own son. He just did a 'bad thing' with good intentions."
"Good intentions? Bad intentions?"
The corners of Zhu Feng's eyes twitched slightly.
He clenched his fists tightly, let out a deep breath, and then said, "You, just let him stay there?"
Nan Yan quickly knelt straight up and said, "This is also what I want to confess to the emperor."
Ran Xiaoyu, who was kneeling behind, panicked and wanted to look up and say something. Fortunately, Eunuch Yu beside her was quick-witted and grabbed her.
At this time, no one can interrupt.
Nan Yan lowered her head and whispered, "I did agree to let His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei stay, because I know that the Emperor attaches great importance to the law and has said that if a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. If this matter is not resolved, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei will always bear the stigma of being a murderer. I'm afraid the Emperor can't just sit back and watch."
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "If he stays, can he clear his name and reputation?"
Nan Yan said, "Because of this, I still believe in the medical skills of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei."
At this point, Zhu Feng's expression turned even uglier. He said coldly, "Medical skills? He's my son. Even if he doesn't learn the art of being an emperor, he should at least learn the art of governing a country and the art of war. But he chose to learn these nonsense, and now he's brought disaster upon himself! You still dare to say you trust him?"
“…”
Unexpectedly, even though he had lost his memory, he still felt so disgusted with Zhu Chengxuan's love for medicine.
It seems that human nature is really hard to change.
But at this moment, Nan Yan could not care about this and could only say, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei also has good intentions. Now we can only prove everything and calm the anger of the students in the academy by waiting for that person to wake up."
As she spoke, she raised her head and whispered, "Your Majesty, didn't Your Majesty come south this time to deal with the affairs of the academy? Now, although the matter of His Royal Highness Prince Wei was sudden, perhaps it will be an opportunity."
"Opportunity?"
"Let them see your highness's kindness, and also let them see the emperor's integrity and tolerance."
Zhu Feng's eyes twitched slightly. "Merciful? Tolerant? Are you asking me to completely ignore this matter and just watch the King of Wei being detained by them?"
Nan Yan said, "Your Majesty, to be honest, the King of Wei is not detained."
"Um?"
"He stayed voluntarily. Li Bu Shang also stayed."
Zhu Feng said coldly: "So what?"
Nan Yan said, "This time when I entered the academy, I also discovered some unusual things inside."
"Strange? What's strange?"
"Besides the students, there are some other people in the academy. Although they are also wearing student clothes, they are obviously different from ordinary students. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei did this because someone was instigating things, which made the students so angry."
“…”
"I can't help but wonder if this is also the case with the many rumors and opinions that these students have spread that are unfavorable to the Emperor."
"You mean," Zhu Feng said, "someone is trying to instigate this?"
"good."
"Can you find out who it is?"
"It's hard to find someone among the students because there are so many of them. However, there's a minor named Xia who seems to be at odds with Jian Ruocheng. He's got some issues and doesn't look like a scholar. I suspect that only the students are under Jian Ruocheng's supervision, but the other half, the actual management power, is in this man's hands."
“…”
Zhu Feng fell silent.
His eyes flashed, but his expression became increasingly calm. After a long while, he looked at Nan Yan again: "Then, King Wei will stay there--"
"There may be danger," Nan Yan said hurriedly, "but the possibility is very small. Besides, Li Bushang is here. I believe he can protect His Highness the Prince of Wei."
“…”
"Also, I am worried about one thing."
"What's up?"
"Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is of noble status, he has never been the students' target. The rumors they spread previously did not involve the Prince of Wei. However, if they want to use the Prince of Wei to attack the Emperor, it is still possible. This incident is their opportunity."
"Is that student dead or alive?"
"good,"
Nan Yan nodded solemnly and said, "If the King of Wei returns with me, that student will be completely in their hands. Jian Ruocheng—I know him, of course, he is a gentleman and would not do anything despicable, but those people are different."
“…”
"If anything happens to that student, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei will be convicted of murder!"
Zhu Feng took a deep breath.
It turns out that this is what Nan Yan really considered and what she was worried about for him!
