Chapter 2938 He Yi's Confession
She said she understood this man because she had known him for so many years. Even when Zhu Feng broke into Jinling City and massacred the imperial city, it was because of his advice that he held back and she saved her life. She said she didn't understand him because this man was always calm and aloof, as if he was easy to get along with. But when she thought about it carefully, she had known him for so long, but from beginning to end, she had no idea what he was thinking.
It seemed as if it was expected that he would be valued by Zhu Feng and become the Left Prime Minister of the Secretariat.
He did not show any joy when he became the chief minister of the cabinet.
Despite being treated coldly by Zhu Feng, he never showed any sign of loss or unhappiness.
Even when Gu Tingqiu replaced him as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, he did not seem to be disappointed. Instead, when Zhu Feng was seriously injured and unconscious after being assassinated, he once again offered advice to help him overcome the difficulties.
Is he good or bad?
And now, recalling what Ye Zheng had experienced before, Nan Yan couldn't believe it even more.
She could still remember that when He Yi and Ye Zheng were together, the two of them joked around casually, Ye Zheng bossed him around, and he always looked indulgent, even doting.
The two of them are so good.
Could it be that all the pain Ye Zheng suffered along the way was caused by him?
Then, why did he give me that bottle of detoxification pill?
If it wasn't him, where did the antidote come from? How could he have foreseen that Ye Zheng would be poisoned like that?
In an instant, too many doubts and confusions, even heartbreaking speculations, flooded into Nan Yan's mind, and she felt like her brain was about to explode.
At this time, a hand was raised and gently rubbed Nan Yan's eyebrows.
It’s Zhu Feng.
His thumb was rough but powerful. When he gently stroked the center of Nan Yan's eyebrows, he seemed to want to smooth out the wrinkles between her eyebrows. He said softly, "It's already happened. Don't think about it."
“…”
At this time, he came to comfort himself.
Moreover, the action he was taking now was clearly what Nan Yan had often done in the past.
At this moment, looking at his pale and lifeless face, Nan Yan felt heartbroken. She held his hand against her cheek and said softly, "I don't want to think about it, and Your Majesty, don't think too much about it."
Zhu Feng lowered his eyelids and said, "Of course I don't think too much about it."
“…”
"We've only detained him. We haven't gotten any information yet. There's no point in overthinking it."
“…”
"Besides, there is only one thing I can think of right now."
Nan Yan looked at his downcast eyes. Although he looked frail at the moment, the incomparably strong will in his eyes remained unchanged. Nan Yan knew that this was Zhu Feng, the man who would overcome all difficulties to achieve what he wanted, no matter how great the difficulties or obstacles.
This is the real him!
There was nothing else for him to think about.
There is only one thing - revenge for Ye Zheng!
Nan Yan held his hand and said softly, "If that's the case, Your Majesty, please don't think too much about it for now. Once the Dali Temple has thoroughly investigated the matter and the case files are handed over, it won't be too late for Your Majesty to worry about it."
"……Um."
"Then Your Majesty, shall I ask Wang Baizhi to come and take a look?"
"No need,"
Zhu Feng waved his hand: "I don't want to see anyone right now."
“…”
Seeing him like this, although Nan Yan was worried, she could not go against his wishes. Ye Zheng's death was too much of a blow to him. Perhaps the blood he just spit out was just caused by anger. If he didn't want to see other people, then let's not see them for the time being.
Nan Yan whispered, "Then, Your Majesty, please sleep a little longer?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, still shaking his head.
He slowly closed his eyes. The setting sun shone through the window onto his pale face, making him look especially pale and thin. When his eyelashes drooped, Nan Yan could even see a bit of crystal-like stuff between his eyelashes.
It's tears.
Zhu Feng, you can't allow yourself to cry.
However, people are people, and there are some things in life that are irresistible.
Zhu Feng could control himself from crying out loudly, but he couldn't control his heart and had to endure such heart-wrenching pain. The tears he shed were probably the sadness that came out of helplessness.
"emperor……"
Nan Yan called him softly, but Zhu Feng just sat on the head of the bed.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and the tears lingered for a long time before finally dripping from his face.
However, just like a drop of rain falling into dry land, it quickly disappeared. Zhu Feng only allowed himself to shed this one tear. The remaining sadness was like the burning magma under the dry land. Even if it was boiling, Zhu Feng could not allow himself to reveal even a little bit of it.
Nan Yan looked at him and felt filled with bitterness.
But at this time, she couldn't do anything.
I can only sit next to him and accompany him quietly.
I don’t know how long it took, but it was dark.
The entire Yonghe Palace was silent, and Nan Yan leaned on Zhu Feng's shoulder, listening to his heavy breathing and heartbeat filled with invisible pain. She didn't know when this sentence would end. Finally, she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.
Tingfu walked to the door and whispered, "Your Majesty...? Your Majesty?"
There was no sound in the room, and he was worried that everyone had fallen asleep.
But upon hearing his voice, Zhu Feng's narrowed eyes immediately opened, and now, a calm and clear look flashed in them. He said, "Come in."
Nan Yan also stood up immediately.
She stood by the bed, only to see Tingfu walk in from outside, kneel down and bow, then say: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Minister of Justice, Ruan, wishes to see you."
Logically, the emperor should not meet with ministers in the harem, but should go to the imperial study.
But at this time, I can't care about so many things.
Zhu Feng immediately said, "Let him in."
"yes."
Tingfu went out and after a while, he led Ruan Hengzhou in.
Ruan Hengzhou lowered his head, holding a document in his hand. He walked to the center of the room but didn't dare to move forward. He just knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Feng on the bed and Nan Yan standing beside him, saying, "Your humble servant greets the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."
"stand up."
When Zhu Feng spoke to him again, there was no trace of weakness in his tone. Instead, there was a hint of coldness, even a sharp chill, like a sword drawn from its sheath.
Anyone could feel the murderous intent emanating from him.
Nan Yan stood aside and couldn't help but clench her hands covered in cold sweat. She had almost no doubt that as long as there was any problem with the results of He Yi's interrogation, Zhu Feng would not hesitate to take the first step to avenge Ye Zheng!
He asked, "He Yi has been in court. Has he found out anything?"
Ruan Hengzhou lowered his head and presented the document in his hands with both hands. Tingfu hurried over to take it, turned around and presented it to Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng frowned slightly, reached out to take it, opened it and took a look——
Suddenly, Nan Yan saw his face darken.
