Chapter 2237 Where is he?
Was this person plotting against Xu Miaoyin, or him?!
Zhu Feng let out a deep breath, then slowly sat back down at the table, one hand resting on it. Nan Yan could see that he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Although that hand was not clenched into a fist, the veins on the back of the hand were constantly throbbing.
Nan Yan sighed softly, pushed the teacup closer to Zhu Feng's hand, and said softly, "Your Majesty, drink some tea first to calm down."
“…”
At this time, Zhu Feng felt a knot in his stomach.
I can't eat or drink anything at all.
But after hearing Nan Yan's gentle and soft words, he reluctantly picked up the teacup and took a sip. However, no matter how good the tea leaves were or how sweet the tea was, it only tasted bitter when it entered his mouth.
He frowned and said, "Now that the Queen is gone, Gao is completely unaware of this, and Wu is also dead. The only people who might be involved in this matter are... the Queen's family."
"yes."
"But if I were to investigate, I'm afraid it would only arouse their suspicion."
“…”
"Besides, you're right, this matter can't be spread outside."
“…”
"If anyone knew that the late Empress was murdered in this way, not only her, but also I, and the entire imperial family, would lose all their reputation."
Nan Yan nodded hurriedly.
What she feared most was that Zhu Feng would call the Xu family members for questioning in a rage. If this matter were to get out, it would have a very bad impact on the people.
The late Queen has just passed away, and people should not talk about it casually.
Then, she whispered again, "So, I have another unwelcome request."
Zhu Feng looked at her, his eyes clearer. He seemed to sense what she wanted to say, but he still said in a deep voice, "You go ahead."
Nan Yan looked at the bundle on the table and said, "If this was really done by someone in the Xu family, I'm afraid we'll have to investigate thoroughly to find out. We absolutely cannot let the news leak out. Just now, the emperor ordered someone to go to Sishan Gate and summon Madam Xu here, so that I can hand the things over to her."
"Um."
"I'm thinking of summoning all the members of the Xu family into the palace."
“…”
"I'll give them the things and see their reactions."
Zhu Feng hesitated for a moment: "You?"
You must know that the concubines in the harem cannot summon anyone into the palace to meet them at will. Even if they are their own family members, they must get the emperor's consent, not to mention that they are not their own family members.
Moreover, if we want to summon all the members of the Xu family who may be related to this matter, that would really be a whole family.
He believed that with Nan Yan's intelligence and wisdom, dealing with this would not be a problem.
only--
He said in a deep voice: "Can your body bear it?"
You know, Nan Yan is still in confinement after giving birth.
Before, she fainted in the Jiyan Hall, which shows that she is weak. Now she has to concentrate her mind to deal with this matter, and I am afraid her body cannot bear it.
Nan Yan originally thought that he was unwilling, but after hearing it, she realized that he was worried about his health.
My heart suddenly felt warm.
She said softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry."
“…”
"I fainted in the Jiyan Palace earlier because of the musk beads. It felt like a huge rock was weighing down my heart, and the sudden passing of the late Empress made me extremely sad, which is why I fainted. It had nothing to do with my health."
“…”
"Actually, my body is still in good condition."
Zhu Feng looked at her dull face and said solemnly, "Boast!"
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "But it's important to find out the clues as soon as possible during this period of time."
“…”
"What if the story of the Goddess of Childbirth gets out and gets to someone with ulterior motives? If we're prepared—"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng's expression froze slightly.
Nan Yan lowered her voice and said, "I'm afraid that even if I want to ask, I won't get any results."
“…”
This time, Zhu Feng fell silent.
After a while, he looked at Nan Yan again and said seriously, "Are you really okay?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
“…”
"I wouldn't joke about my own body."
After hearing her repeated assurances, Zhu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, that's fine. Tomorrow, after the mourning ceremony at Sishan Gate is over, I will issue an order for Madam Xu, and—and the Queen's two brothers, to enter the palace with their families."
“…”
"There's no need to do it in your name. Let them go to Chengqian Palace in the name of King Wei."
“…”
"The rest is up to you."
"yes!"
Only after the agreement was reached did Nan Yan finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But looking at Zhu Feng's expression, he didn't look relaxed at all. On the contrary, his eyes became even more gloomy.
Nan Yan knew that this incident had a significant impact on him.
When he thought about how he had been plotted against and murdered since he was a child, even by people around him, and that the queen had been unaware of it all these years and had silently endured the pain of being childless, he could not calm down the anger in his heart.
Can only suppress.
He needs the truth to release the anger in his heart.
And this truth is probably difficult for them to face.
Both of them remained silent. Nan Yan watched Zhu Feng drink tea in big gulps. When he had almost finished, she refilled his cup.
In this way, time passed slowly.
It was getting late, and suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside, as if someone was coming to the bedroom. Ran Xiaoyu, who was guarding outside, walked over and whispered a few words.
Nan Yan listened to the voice and felt it sounded familiar.
Then, Ran Xiaoyu walked to the door and said softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Ye Zheng requests an audience."
"Ye Zheng?"
Zhu Feng was slightly startled when he heard this.
Although Ye Zheng had the special permission to enter and leave the harem, he rarely used this privilege. Whenever he had something to do, he would go to the imperial study and wait for him.
Now, he actually came directly to the imperial concubine.
I'm afraid it's urgent.
He immediately said, "Let him in."
Soon, the door was pushed open, and Ye Zheng walked in with a gloomy face. He kowtowed to them and said, "Your humble servant greets the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."
Zhu Feng asked, "What's the hurry?"
Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment and also glanced at Nan Yan.
He was reporting on matters of the previous dynasty. This was the imperial concubine's place, so naturally the emperor's permission was required.
Zhu Feng waved his hand: "Just say it."
Ye Zheng lowered his head and said solemnly, "I have been ordered to search the city with Lord Ying for Wu Yingqiu's whereabouts. Just now, news arrived."
"oh?"
When Zhu Feng heard this, he suddenly became alert.
Nan Yan was also a little surprised.
Finally found it?!
After Wu Yingqiu was rescued at the Grand Altar, they sent people to search the entire city for him. After two days of no news, they almost thought that he had escaped from the capital.
Zhu Feng hurriedly asked, "Where is he?"
