Chapter 3631 Put your mind right
Zhu Feng said with a sullen face, "Do you still have me in your eyes?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him calmly for a while, then turned her head to look out the window and said expressionlessly, "Whatever the emperor says."
Although the conversation was still relatively calm at this point, it was already filled with tension, and an argument could break out at any moment. However, Zhu Feng did not show any real anger. Even when he heard Nan Yan's deliberately provocative words, he just looked at her calmly.
After a while, he sighed.
Although he didn't say anything, Nan Yan moved again and turned to look at him.
"Your Majesty hasn't set foot in the Yikun Palace in the past few months. Did you come here today just to scold me?"
Without waiting for Zhu Feng to speak, she continued, "Go ahead and scold me. I have no complaints. But this time, I must follow the emperor, and the emperor will never get rid of me."
“…”
"Even if the emperor wants to beat or kill me, we can wait until he comes back."
When she mentioned the words "after coming back", Nan Yan's breath subconsciously weakened a little, and even Zhu Feng's eyes flickered. The two of them subconsciously looked at each other, and then subconsciously looked away.
The two people fell silent.
However, this time the silence was not as peaceful as before, but instead revealed an indescribable feeling of suffocation.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Feng finally broke his composure and slowly said, "I received a letter from Ye Zheng today."
"Ye Zheng?"
Nan Yan was startled and turned to look at him: "Him?"
A faint smile flashed across Zhu Feng's face, and he said, "It's him."
Seeing the smile on his face that she hadn't seen in a long time, Nan Yan's originally gloomy mood relaxed a little at this time, but then she frowned in confusion and said softly, "He has been gone for all these years and never sent a letter back. Why did he send a letter this time?"
At this point, her brows furrowed again: "What did he say?"
Zhu Feng said calmly, "He said he wanted to come back and see me."
“…”
"It's just that Ran Xiaoyu is pregnant, so he can't leave."
"ah?"
Nan Yan said in surprise: "Xiaoyu, she is pregnant?"
Zhu Feng's smile deepened as he said, "From the way Ye Zheng sounded, she must be about to give birth, which is why she didn't have time to come back."
At this point, he rubbed his knees with his palms and said with a hint of regret and blame, "They really are so clueless. Now that they have a child, they should have come back sooner, at least to give birth to the child in their own place. Now I don't know where they are in all the places in the world, and whether there is anyone to take good care of them."
Speaking of this, Nan Yan's heart suddenly sank.
Yes, Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu had no idea where they were now, but suddenly such a letter was sent back. Obviously, Ye Zheng knew that Zhu Feng was preparing to use military force against the State of Dian this time.
Does he want to come back to see Zhu Feng, or does he want to stop him?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan subconsciously looked up at Zhu Feng and said softly, "Then, will the emperor wait for them to come back?"
Zhu Feng said calmly, "The army will set out tomorrow. There's no point in delaying the war just for him."
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan's heart tightened even more.
She said softly, "Well, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet again this time."
“…”
"If I don't see you this time, I don't know when I'll be able to see you again."
Zhu Feng rubbed his knees gently with his palms again and said slowly, "It won't be difficult to meet him. His letters have all come back, and he should be here soon. You stay in the capital and get everything ready. When they return, everything will be ready. Isn't it better to prepare at the last minute?"
Nan Yan's face immediately darkened.
After all, Yiku Palace is her place. When she changed her expression like this, there was a suffocating feeling of oppression in the whole room. Now that Zhu Feng came here, there was a feeling of a strong dragon trying to defeat a local snake.
Nan Yan looked at him with a cold face and snorted.
Even Zhu Feng couldn't help but look up at her, only to see Nan Yan say coldly, "We'll all be leaving tomorrow, and the Emperor's mind is still here."
Hearing her cold words, Zhu Feng remained calm, but sighed softly.
It’s like a person walking on a road, and after walking for a long time, he finds that it is a dead end and he can’t go any further, so he has to go back feeling powerless.
When he received Ye Zheng's letter, he was happy, but he also understood why Ye Zheng had never asked to come back in all these years, but wanted to come back this time. He immediately thought of using this matter to keep Nan Yan.
But I didn't expect that she wouldn't even give me a chance.
So the two fell silent again.
After a long silence, Zhu Feng said, "You just have to follow me."
Nan Yan turned her head to look at him and was about to say something when Zhu Feng interrupted her and said calmly, "Since you must follow me, then put your mind back and don't think too much about other things."
"What did the Emperor say?"
"Don't you know what I said?"
“…”
Nan Yan frowned subconsciously, but before the dark cloud in her mind could take shape, she saw Zhu Feng raise his hand, take something out of his sleeve and throw it into her arms. She picked it up and took a look, and her face changed immediately.
"this--"
That was a letter.
A letter sealed with wax, secretly sent a month ago, should have been delivered to Zhu Chengjun by now.
But now, it is back in her hands.
Nan Yan's face turned pale instantly, and she looked at Zhu Feng breathlessly: "Your Majesty——"
Zhu Feng said coldly: "I said, if you want to follow me, then you should set your mind right."
“…”
"Just because I allow you to discuss government affairs with me doesn't mean you can interfere in them, especially not in the major events of the previous dynasty."
“…”
"The Prince of Han is not only your son, but also an official appointed by the imperial court. The imperial court sent him to the south for their own purposes, as well as for his own mission. If he wants to return to the imperial court, it should be an imperial order, not just a word from you as a mother."
“…”
"If I had still wanted my sons to handle the affairs in the north, I wouldn't have led the army in person at this time. You've followed me for all these years, and if you don't even understand this, then it's truly a shame that you've followed me for nothing."
Nan Yan held the useless letter in one hand and slowly crumpled it into a ball, just like her mood at the moment.
It felt like there was a stone in my throat, I couldn't swallow it down, and I couldn't choke it out.
After struggling for a while, she whispered, "I know I was wrong."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her for a long while before slowly standing up and saying, "Since you want to go, then prepare well and set off early tomorrow morning." After that, he turned and left.
