Chapter 248 I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!
"Your Majesty, can you please not—don't kill so many people from now on?"
Zhu Feng's breath immediately became heavy.
Then, he glanced around and said, "Are you trying to say that I shouldn't have killed everyone in Prince Jing's Mansion?"
“…”
"You know, treason is an unforgivable crime!"
"But..." Nan Yan said carefully, "It's impossible that all the people in Prince Jing's Mansion are traitors. Many of them are just poor and sold themselves into slavery to work here."
“…”
"How could His Royal Highness Prince Jing let everyone know about such a big thing?"
“…”
"Your Majesty, there must be many innocent people among them."
Not even some.
The vast majority are innocent.
"So what?" Zhu Feng said coldly, "I don't have the time to interrogate everyone one by one. At a time like this, I'd rather kill the wrong person than let him go!"
“…”
Nan Yan was frightened by his words, "I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go." After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "Your Majesty, I really don't understand big things, but I am just worried about you."
“…”
"I'm worried that the people will misunderstand the emperor if he does this."
When Zhu Feng heard this, he looked at her coldly: "What misunderstanding?"
“…”
"You misunderstood me as a tyrant? Or, am I a tyrant from the beginning?!"
As soon as she heard the word "tyrant", Nan Yan knew that he was angry, so she immediately shut her mouth and looked at him with some panic.
But Zhu Feng had already turned around and left.
Nan Yan stood there biting her lower lip, watching his back as he suddenly left, and for a moment she was still a little dazed.
I made him angry again.
Sure enough, shouldn't I say these things?
However, I really said those words for his own good. The fact that he massacred Prince Jing's mansion could not be covered up. When it got out, rumors of his brutality and bloodlust would spread among the people.
Besides, didn’t he tell me that if I had something to say to him, would he listen?
result--
Nan Yan looked at his disappearing figure in the night with a sense of grievance, muttering softly: "You still didn't listen..."
Although she felt aggrieved, she looked down at the brocade box and the key in her hand, then she carefully closed the box, put it in her arms and went back.

The next day we left Yongzhou and headed back to Nanjing.
Nan Yan squeezed into Jian Ruocheng and Li Bushang's carriage. Jian Ruocheng looked at her in surprise: "The emperor didn't let you ride with him?"
Nan Yan smiled awkwardly.
When she left the military camp and went to Prince Jing's Mansion, she was still sitting in Zhu Feng's carriage, but now——
Jian Ruocheng looked at her with bright eyes and said with a smile, "You, have you made the emperor angry again?"
Li Bushang sat aside, looking at Nan Yan and then at Jian Ruocheng.
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "It's my own fault. I spoke too much."
"What did you say?"
“…”
Nan Yan repeated to Zhu Feng what she had said to him last night.
However, she did not tell anyone that Zhu Feng had given her the key to Shangbaosi. She did not want to share this kind of thing with anyone.
That belongs to you alone.
After hearing her words, Jian Ruocheng pondered for a long time.
Nan Yan sighed and said, "It's my fault. I made the emperor angry."
Jian Ruocheng turned to look at her and said with a smile, "Actually, I had originally planned to discuss this matter with Lord Heyi after returning to Jinling, and to advise the Emperor."
“…”
"I didn't expect you to get there first."
