Chapter 2902: The person has been caught
The night was as deep as a thick black curtain, surrounding them. Not only was it pitch dark, but it also gave people a feeling of oppression and difficulty breathing.
Eunuch Yu was holding a lantern and walking beside Zhu Feng.
Because he didn't know which way to go, he walked very slowly. Sure enough, after leaving the imperial study, Zhu Feng did not return to the bedroom, nor did he go to Yonghe Palace. Instead, he turned many small roads and walked to a quiet palace gate.
Cold Palace.
Eunuch Yu held his breath.
No wonder, because he was old, Zhu Feng rarely asked him to serve him at night, but today, he asked him to follow.
When Eunuch Yu walked to the door with a lantern, he held his breath.
Zhu Feng said calmly: "Go open the door."
"yes."
Eunuch Yu did not ask any more questions. He walked forward, opened the door, and walked in front with a lantern. This time, he seemed to know where they should go and took the initiative to lead the way. Zhu Feng, just as he had expected, walked all the way to the depths of the cold palace.
It was midsummer at this time.
The palace was overgrown with vegetation, and the sun blazed down during the day, only at night could the heat dissipate and bring a bit of coolness. However, the situation in the cold palace was completely different. The weeds here were abundant, and they grew lushly in season, but this lushness gave people a feeling of overgrowth. Moreover, the entire cold palace was extremely cold. Even though he knew it was the height of summer, Eunuch Yu shivered as he walked inside, subconsciously shrinking his neck.
Only Zhu Feng was walking on the quiet path, completely unaware.
His entire body exuded a chill that was no less than that of the cold palace.
After a while, they came to a dilapidated house.
Although it is shabby, it at least has a roof, doors and windows. Even the door is cleaned and the grass is trimmed. It is not as dirty as other places, giving people a lively feeling.
But when Zhu Feng looked at it, he frowned instead.
Eunuch Yu whispered, "Your Majesty, do you want me to knock on the door?"
Before Zhu Feng could reply, a light suddenly lit up nearby. A man holding a candle came over and shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing there so late?!"
Eunuch Yu frowned and immediately responded with a lantern in hand.
The one who came over was Nanny Su, who was guarding the cold palace.
She originally thought that some crazy and convicted palace maid in the cold palace was causing trouble at night, but when she saw the lanterns, she felt something was wrong, so she came over to take a look. When she saw Eunuch Yu, she was shocked.
When I looked up again, I saw a tall figure standing at the door. Who else could it be but the emperor?
He was so scared that he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng put his hands behind his back and didn't look at her.
Eunuch Yu stood in front of her and whispered, "You have nothing to do here, please go down."
"ah?"
Nanny Su was still a little hesitant, and she looked up and glanced at Zhu Feng carefully. Eunuch Yu frowned and said, "Didn't you hear me talking to you? Get out!"
"……yes."
Nanny Su didn't dare to stay any longer, so she could only kowtow and stand up to leave.
Eunuch Yu watched her disappear into the night before turning back to Zhu Feng and whispering, "Your Majesty, would you like me to knock on the door?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "No need."
After he finished speaking, he also stopped moving, just staring straight ahead, as if he was making up his mind. After a long while, he said again: "Just wait outside."
"yes."
Eunuch Yu nodded in response and took a step back.
The lantern in his hand was shaking, and the light could only illuminate the small space in front of him. Zhu Feng took a few steps forward and felt that it was pitch black in front of him. He walked to the door of the house and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door when suddenly, a little light came from the crack of the door.
Although it was just a little bit, it could be seen through the originally dark door in such a dark night.
But it gives people a dazzling feeling.
Zhu Feng frowned slightly, and before he could even react, the dilapidated door made a long, hoarse creaking sound and slowly opened from the inside.
A faint light illuminated Zhu Feng's eyes.
He subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw the woman standing in front of him.
Qin Ruolan.
She opened her eyes wide as if in disbelief, but she could see clearly that the person standing in front of her was none other than Zhu Feng, the man she had been thinking about day and night, even in her dreams.
After staring blankly for a long time, she murmured in disbelief, "Your Majesty...?"

In Chonghua Palace, Lipin Yao Ying was already kneeling on the ground, her already disheveled black hair draped over her head, some of it falling to the ground.
She knelt there, shivering as if she was very cold.
The two shoulder blades on his back were raised high, making him look even thinner, more helpless, and more pitiful.
However, this scene did not stir any emotion in Nan Yan. Of course, this was also because all her thoughts were focused on the piece of paper in her hand.
There were many tiny characters densely written on it, and the content was familiar.
A heartfelt eulogy.
Nan Yan read it from beginning to end, then looked at Yao Ying and said, "Is this the eulogy?"
Yao Ying said, "Yes."
"You're not lying?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you. This is truly the eulogy. I am not lying, absolutely not lying!"
As she spoke, she even started to kowtow, and her forehead hit the floor with a thud. In such a quiet night, it made people's hearts tremble.
Nan Yan slowly folded the eulogy according to the previous traces and put it into her sleeve.
He glanced down at Yao Ying again and said calmly, "Don't be afraid."
“…”
"I've said before, in front of me, even if you say something unpleasant, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is, don't tell lies."
“…”
"I cannot bear to hear even a single word of falsehood."
Yao Ying knelt before her and trembled as she said, "I dare not. I will never again deceive the Empress."
Nan Yan nodded slightly.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Nan Yan gave a wink to Ruoshui who was standing beside her. Ruoshui was originally dumbfounded by what had just happened, but at this time she reacted quickly and immediately went over to open the door. Tingfu, who was guarding outside, walked in.
He saluted Nan Yan and said, "My Lady, the man has been caught."
"oh?"
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Where is it?"
"He has been taken back to the palace."
"good."
Nan Yan slowly stood up. Although she was thin and not tall, at this moment, the shadow she cast completely covered Yao Ying. Yao Ying knelt on the ground with an expression of astonishment and fear on her face.
"Let's go,"
Nan Yan said, "Let's go and take a look."
