Chapter 3738 Someone recognizes the Emperor
Zhu Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip. He glanced at him again and said, "You came very quickly today."
Li Bushang said, "I heard that the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine might have been discovered while traveling incognito. I was worried that someone might harm the Emperor, so I rushed there immediately."
“…”
"But I still frightened the emperor. Please forgive me."
Zhu Feng said calmly: "You did very well."
Then he looked at him for a while, then said, "Go down."
Li Bushang said, "I will take my leave."
After saying this, he left the imperial study.
It was already late at night. He closed the door after leaving and looked back at the starry sky. At this time, Eunuch Yu came up from the side. Ever since Li Quan returned to the palace, he had dragged him away and beaten him. Now he came up to serve. Seeing Li Bushang, he said softly, "Master Li, you have worked hard today."
Li Bushang glanced at him and said, "Eunuch Yu, Eunuch Yu should keep a closer eye on his men. If they instigated the Emperor and even took the Imperial Concubine out of the palace, no one would be able to bear the consequences if something happened!"
Given his age and qualifications, he was not qualified to speak to Eunuch Yu in this way, but at this time, Eunuch Yu could only smile bitterly and reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
What happened today also scared him a lot.
If something really happened, let alone chopping Li Quan to pieces, even if he skinned and dismembered him, he would still be blamed.
Eunuch Yu said, "Our family will keep a close eye on these bastards."
Li Bushang nodded, then said, "Goodbye."
After saying that, he left.
As soon as he left, Zhu Feng also walked out of the imperial study. Upon seeing Zhu Feng, Eunuch Yu immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to admit his mistake. Zhu Feng just curled his lips and said, "Never mind. I just wanted to leave today on a whim. You can go back and beat up Li Quan. Let him recover and come back to serve."
Eunuch Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."
Zhu Feng waved his hand and walked towards Yonghe Palace.
At this time, Nan Yan had already showered, changed her clothes, and lay down at the head of the bed, but she still couldn't sleep. Thinking back to what happened during the day, scenes flashed before her eyes like a kaleidoscope.
Zhu Feng walked in: "Are you still not asleep?"
"emperor!"
As soon as she saw him, Nan Yan hurried over to salute.
Zhu Feng took off his clothes and handed them to her, then walked over and lay on the bed, his hands behind his head, half-closed his eyes and said, "Why aren't you sleeping yet? You're exhausted all day, and you're still so energetic?"
Nan Yan hung up her clothes and walked to the bed and sat down.
She whispered, "I can't sleep."
Zhu Feng opened his eyes and looked at her, saying, "Are you still thinking about what happened during the day?"
When this was mentioned, Nan Yan's expression grew serious, and she lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, is there someone who wants to harm you? Otherwise, why would Li Bushan bring so many people here?"
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath and then told her that the Jinyiwei had sent a message to Li Bushang asking him to come and pick them up.
When Nan Yan heard this, her brows furrowed.
"The Earthly Immortal Society again, and them again. What do they want to do?"
“…”
"Could it be that they still want to assassinate the emperor?"
"We're still unsure what they're up to. After all, nothing happened today, and Li Bushan only came here after hearing a tip-off, so he can't find any evidence."
Nan Yan said, "Do you want to check again?"
Zhu Feng said: "There's no rush now."
"Why?"
"The news was brought back by spies sent by the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards have come with such a large force to support you and me. If the Earthly Immortals Society really has some conspiracy, they must have discovered it."
“…”
"If the Jinyiwei makes any more moves, that person will be discovered."
“…”
"To find out who is behind the Earthly Immortal Society, we must remain patient."
Nan Yan suddenly understood and nodded gently, saying, "That's right. If we can't find the person behind this, even if we eliminate the people under the Earthly Immortal Society, it will be in vain. The person behind this will definitely find other ways to incite the people."
"Um……"
Zhu Feng sighed and narrowed his eyes again.
But Nan Yan sat beside him, her expression not relaxed. She frowned and pondered for a long time, then said softly: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I find a little strange."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng opened his eyes again, looked at her, and said, "What's the matter?"
"How did the people from the Earthly Immortal Society find us?"
"Come to us?"
“…”
"Judging from the current situation, this Earth Immortal Society is deliberately trying to win over people's hearts and minds, and has even recruited so many young and strong men. Their intentions are despicable. I'm afraid the mastermind behind this is targeting the imperial court. It's not surprising that they would come to me."
"No, that's not what I meant."
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "What I mean is—how did they find us?"
“…”
"In the past, when the emperor or other princes and nobles were assassinated while traveling, it was because the itinerary had to be planned in advance, and the news leaked. Some people with ulterior motives made arrangements in advance and waited in that place, ready to act as soon as the person appeared."
"Um."
"But Your Majesty and I decided to leave the palace today on a whim. We didn't notify anyone beforehand, and there was no one outside the palace to greet us. Going to Zuixianju for dinner after returning to the city was also a last-minute decision. Besides, we were all wearing casual clothes."
“…”
"In other words, they shouldn't have come here knowing that we were in Zuixianju."
Hearing this, Zhu Feng sensed something and looked up at her: "What do you want to say?"
Nan Yan said, "I suspect there might be someone in the Earthly Immortal Association who recognizes the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng took a deep breath.
His eyes, which had been a little dazed due to sleepiness, became sharp again.
He murmured, "Could their people recognize me?"
Nan Yan said, "I'm not sure, I just have this suspicion."
“…”
"How can ordinary people recognize the emperor?"
“…”
"And if I think about it carefully, this earth immortal would do these things so deliberately, obviously aiming at the imperial court. I'm afraid the mastermind behind this is not an ordinary person. It's very likely, very likely—"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and his eyes became serious.
Said: "You say."
"It's very likely that he has fought against the Emperor. Even—"
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "It's even possible that they are the same group of people who fought against us in Shazhouwei and Hot Moon Bay before?"
Nan Yan said, "Before I find out the truth, I dare not say anything."
“…”
"I just have this suspicion."
“…”
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and said softly, "This is indeed very possible."
After saying that, he looked at Nan Yan again.
The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were all filled with a smile, and he said, "Well, not bad."
