Chapter 172 Token of Love
Nan Yan shivered under the scorching sun, staring at him with wide eyes, and even forgot to greet him.
At this time, another rider slowly came over from behind. It was Prince Jing Zhuo, who was also dressed in tight clothes and had a bow on his back. The expression on his face could be seen clearly, and he was smiling.
But for some reason, there was a hint of ferocity in that smile.
He said, "Tong Jie, why are you here with the female official?"
At this moment, Tong Jie hurriedly knelt down and said, "This humble servant pays homage to His Majesty."
As soon as they heard him say this, everyone around them understood who the person riding on the horse was. They all knelt down and the whole street was quiet for a while.
The horse under Zhu Feng kept pacing impatiently. The sound of horse hooves seemed very hurried in the silent long street, as if it was going to crush something. He just looked at them coldly, said nothing more, and whipped the horse to rush out.
Zhu Xuan looked at his back, then at Tong Jie and Si Nanyan who were kneeling on the ground. He immediately turned around and ordered the attendant, "Take Master Tong and Lady Si back to the palace immediately."
After saying that, he also rode his horse and followed.
Nan Yan seemed to be still a little dazed at this time. Listening to the sound of horse hooves fading away, she slowly turned her head and looked at the cloud of dust raised by the horse's hooves.
Tong Jie stood up and helped her up. She was pale and couldn't say a word. The servant beside her helped her onto the horse and took her back to Prince Jing's Mansion on a bumpy journey.
As soon as they arrived at the palace, they saw Zhu Feng dismounting, throwing all the bows and arrows and prey on his body to the hands of the servants behind him, and walked all the way inside. When Nan Yan was helped to dismount, her legs were a little weak. Tong Jie wanted to come up to help her, but she pushed him away with a pale face.
As she walked in, she looked at the servants and maids passing by. Everyone was looking at them, as if there was some strange emotion in their eyes.
But--
What's going on?
She was just strolling on the street with Tong Jie. It wasn't a big deal.
After all, she was just a slave, a female official in the imperial court.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, raised her head and walked forward, and saw Zhu Feng walked into the lobby and sat upstairs, with Zhu Xuan also sitting beside him.
Even Princess Jing and several ladies came.
Princess Zhao Yan of Prince Jing saw their worried expressions and approached them carefully, "Weren't the Emperor and Prince Jing out hunting? Why are they back so soon?"
Zhu Feng sat there without saying a word.
Zhu Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Oh, I originally wanted to go to another hunting ground with the emperor, but on the way -"
As he spoke, he glanced at Nan Yan and Tong Jie who were slowly walking in, and said with a smile, "I ran into Lady Si and Tong Jie on the way."
"oh?"
Princess Jing's expression changed slightly. She turned to look at the two of them and said with an unsteady smile, "Young Master Tong and Lady Officer Si...how did they end up together?"
In fact, even if the two of them were together, it would only be a small matter, but when you say it this way, it doesn't feel right.
Nan Yan's brows were furrowed as she looked up at Zhu Feng, who had a gloomy expression.
She was about to say something when Madam Tong beside her suddenly laughed and said, "Ah Jie, have you already told the female official?"
"Say, what?"
Nan Yan looked at her in surprise.
Madam Tong smiled and said, "Ajie has always admired the Lady Official. This time when the Lady Official came, they specially arranged accommodation for her and also arranged for servants. By the way, two days ago you said you gave the Lady Official a token of love, and she accepted it."
