Chapter 984 Your Majesty, You Can’t Do That!
At this moment, a slender figure appeared at the door of the imperial study.
Qin Ruolan's voice sounded outside the door.
"emperor……"
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Zheng and Xu Miaoyin frowned unconsciously. However, He Yi turned around and glanced at her, then said calmly, "Since Madam Qin requests an audience, we will take our leave first."
Zhu Feng waved at them.
Xu Miaoyin was still a little hesitant, but Heyi winked at her, and the three of them bowed together and left the imperial study. When they reached the door, they saw Qin Ruolan standing outside.
Xu Miaoyin met her gaze, both of them showing a hint of coldness.
There's also a hint of threat.
Qin Ruolan naturally saw it too. Although her attention wasn't on Xu Miaoyin, she understood something when she saw her eyes. She was silent for a moment, and when Xu Miaoyin and the others left, she raised her head, looked into the imperial study, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I beg to see you."
“…”
The imperial study was quiet for a while.
"emperor……"
"Come in."
Zhu Feng's voice finally rang out, deep and with a hint of fatigue.
Qin Ruolan walked in.
Looking at her back, Ye Zheng's eyes were filled with more gloom, but there was nothing he could say. They walked to a pavilion some distance away from the imperial study. As soon as they stopped, Xu Miaoyin frowned and said, "Heyi, why didn't you let me stop Qin Ruolan from entering the imperial study?"
“…”
"The situation is already very chaotic, and if she continues to interfere—"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
He Yi bowed to her and said, "My humble servant thinks that Madam Qin must also be very reluctant for His Majesty to go to Prince Ning's fiefdom, because what she has now is what she can only get after the Imperial Concubine leaves. If His Majesty goes to Prince Ning's fiefdom and meets the Imperial Concubine, we don't know what will happen, but it will definitely not be a good thing for Madam Qin."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin raised her eyebrows slightly: "She will definitely stop the emperor."
"good."
"However, I saw that the Emperor's expression just now was even more resolute than before. I am afraid that no one else can persuade him."
"If you really can't persuade him, then your Highness and I should consider a practical matter."

As soon as I walked into the imperial study, I saw Zhu Feng sitting behind the desk. He was tall and always kept his back straight whether he was sitting or standing, like a spear, giving people the aura of not bending even under the pressure of a mountain.
But at this time, he was half leaning back in his chair.
One hand supports the forehead.
Just by looking at his figure, you can feel his tiredness at the moment.
Qin Ruolan slowly walked forward, knelt before him without saying a word, and whispered, "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng slowly took his hand off his forehead and looked down at her.
"you--"
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me."
"Punishment..."
Zhu Feng slowly repeated the two words, then looked at Qin Ruolan's face, which looked even thinner and more pitiful under her gorgeous makeup, and said lightly, "What crime have you committed?"
“…”
"Could it be that what the head of the Ministry of Justice just said is true?"
“…”
"You once falsely accused the King of Wei with anti-Wei poetry?"
"No!" Qin Ruolan immediately raised her head and said to Zhu Feng, "Your Majesty, I don't really want to harm the King of Wei. I just—"
"Just what?"
"I did that to protect the King of Wei."
"Protect the King of Wei?"
Zhu Feng's deep eyes gleamed with a sharp glint as he asked, "What is your relationship with the King of Wei? Are you admitting this false accusation just to protect him?"
"this--"
Qin Ruolan was about to blurt out the words in her heart, but just as she was about to speak, Eunuch Yu who was standing outside the door coughed lightly.
Although it was just a light cough, it sounded like a bolt from the blue to her ears.
She suddenly froze.
The gloomy expression on Xu Miaoyin's face in the hall before flashed before his eyes again.
She knew very well that it was under Xu Miaoyin's protection that Zhu Chengxuan had come this far over the years, and was even able to be enthroned as King of Wei, and might even be very close to the throne of the crown prince.
If I suddenly recognize him, what will the queen do?
She might become her enemy from then on, and more likely, she would suppress the King of Wei in the future.
Losing himself in the harem might not be a big deal for the King of Wei, but if he lost the protection of the Queen, his road would be really difficult.
Thinking of this, Qin Ruolan's throat became blocked.
"I……"
"Why do you want to protect the King of Wei?"
Zhu Feng looked at her gravely.
Meeting his gaze, Qin Ruolan felt even more ashamed. She bit her lower lip and slowly lowered her head.
Silence means there is nothing to say.
“…”
Seeing her silence, Zhu Feng did not press her any further, but just smiled faintly, with a hint of sarcasm and indifference in his smile.
"You're just like them."
“…”
"Whenever I ask you something, you choose to remain silent."
“…”
"You know I need you, so you never disobey me. But you also never make things clear in front of me. How long do you want to keep me guessing?"
"emperor!"
Qin Ruolan raised her head and looked at him painfully: "I——"
She had thousands of words to say, but she couldn't express them. She could only kneel on the ground, her slender body trembling slightly, like a fragile branch in the wind and rain, which made people feel pity.
“…”
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng still felt a little bit reluctant in his heart. He slowly stood up, walked to her, and stretched out his hand to help her up.
"Get up."
"emperor."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I won't blame you."
“…”
"You were not crowned today, and I have wronged you."
After hearing this, Qin Ruolan slowly stood up, leaned against him softly, and said softly: "It doesn't matter if I'm wronged. As long as Your Majesty doesn't doubt me, I'm sincere to Your Majesty."
"Um."
Zhu Feng nodded.
Although she felt really uncomfortable, Qin Ruolan gradually calmed down in his arms, breathing in the familiar, intoxicating scent from him, and said softly, "As long as the emperor believes in my sincerity, it is more important than anything else."
Her words were full of affection.
But at this moment, Zhu Feng no longer had the energy to indulge in such a "land of comfort". After experiencing the changes of this day, he had more things to think about.
He said calmly, "I have decided to go to Prince Ning's fiefdom tomorrow."
Qin Ruolan opened his eyes wide when he heard this: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't do this!"
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
