Chapter 681 She is coveted by others!
Ye Zheng glanced down and his face suddenly turned pale.
Zhu Feng looked at him: "Hmm?"
Ye Zheng stammered, "Also, also, at the banquet—" As he recited, he looked at Zhu Feng tremblingly, looking extremely frightened.
Zhu Feng frowned: "What happened at the banquet?"
"emperor!"
Ye Zheng fell to his knees with a plop, his face mournful, "I dare not read any further."
“…!?”
Zhu Feng's thick eyebrows knitted into a knot. He immediately stood up and walked over, snatching the paper from his hand. Ye Zheng was still frightened and said, "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng unfolded it and took a look. Suddenly, his eyes turned red.
There was a line of words written clearly on it.
"The ruler and ministers of the Kingdom of Dian have decided to keep the imperial concubine in Dian and change her title to the Imperial Concubine of Dian."
With a snap, something in his brain was broken at that moment. He clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the table.
clang!
With a loud bang, he actually created a crack on the table top.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Ye Zheng guessed that Zhu Feng would be furious when he saw that sentence.
"This matter did not come to pass. The Imperial Concubine did not agree..."
"Does she need to agree?!"
Zhu Feng said angrily: "She is in their hands now!"
“…”
"What do they ask her to do? Is she capable of refusing?!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down!"
Ye Zheng said hurriedly: "The Imperial Concubine is very resourceful. Even if she falls into the hands of the people of Dian, it is not certain that they will be able to gain an advantage."
“…”
"If the Emperor acts rashly, His Majesty will put His Majesty in danger!"
Upon hearing that Nan Yan was in danger, Zhu Feng took a deep breath and calmed down a little.
Yes, Nan Yan’s safety.
Now, her safety is the most important thing.
She fell into the hands of the people of Dian, and now she is still an envoy. If she really takes any action, her "mission" will not be able to continue.
But--
She is in someone else's hands!
She is coveted by others!
Some people want to take her away from them!
Just thinking about this, he felt that the scorching heat brought by the fire in his body could not be released, and his blood was boiling.
It made him feel like he was on fire.
Seeing that he still had some rationality left, Ye Zheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there seem to be two more sentences in the letter. Please read them before making a decision."
“…”
"Don't be impulsive."
“…”
"The safety of the Imperial Concubine is of paramount importance."
Zhu Feng then took a deep breath, slowly loosened his clenched fists, and slowly unfolded the paper that had been crumpled into a ball.
Above, there are a few lines of words behind——
"The change of title failed, but Meng Ke mentioned the background of the imperial concubine, and her biological mother might be Princess Tana of the Kingdom of Dian.
This is unconfirmed and remains doubtful.”
…
Zhu Feng's brows furrowed again, but this time, his anger really subsided slowly.
My heart sank as well.
Could Nan Yan's biological mother be Princess Tana of the Kingdom of Dian?
Princess Tana?
How come I haven't heard of such a person?
He stared at the words on the paper and said in a deep voice, "Ye Zheng."
Ye Zheng hurriedly said, "I am here."
"Is there such a person as Princess Tana from the Kingdom of Neng?"
"Princess Tana?"
Ye Zheng frowned: "I've never heard of it."
Ever since Zhu Feng started guarding Peking more than ten years ago, in order to deal with the Kingdom of Dian, they naturally had to know both themselves and their enemy. Moreover, as for the affairs between the two countries, they had already known everything about the people and affairs of the royal family of the Kingdom of Dian.
But Princess Tana—
This person, however, is a stranger.
Zhu Feng held the paper tightly and said in a deep voice, "The letter says that this Princess Tana might be Nan Yan's biological mother."
"What?!"
Ye Zheng's eyes suddenly widened.
Before, Zhu Feng had asked him to look for the imperial concubine's biological mother, but there was no clue at all in the land of Yan State. Later, in the enthronement hall, a letter from Si Zhongwen exposed the fact that Si Nanyan might be from the Neng State, so they all suspected that her mother might be from the Neng State.
But, I didn't expect that it would be the Princess of Dian Kingdom!
Moreover, she was the Princess of the Kingdom of Dian, whom they had never heard of.
Ye Zheng asked doubtfully, "How is this possible?"
“…”
"We had no idea this princess existed!"
Zhu Feng thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Nan Yan said that she hasn't seen her mother since she was a child. Plus, we've never heard of this princess before. I'm afraid she's missing or dead."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zheng frowned.
Speaking of which, their people were only sent over a few days ago, and the task assigned to them was to investigate the political affairs of the Kingdom of Dian, and they were not asked to investigate the secrets of the royal family.
It's not surprising that they didn't notice this.
but--
He murmured, "This situation is somewhat similar to that person."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Feng glanced at him.
Of course I understand.
Very similar to Marquis Bowang.
Moreover, he has been missing for decades and there is no news of him.
Could it be that the imperial concubine is the princess of the Kingdom of Dan and the daughter of Marquis Bowang?
If that's the case—
Ye Zheng shuddered inexplicably.
Of course, he knew that Zhu Feng didn't care that Nan Yan might be from the Kingdom of Dian. However, if she was the daughter of the Princess of the Kingdom of Dian, then she would be a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Dian...
How could he not care?
How could Nan Yan not care?
Before, just knowing that she might be from the country of Dian had caused an uproar among the ministers in the court. If they knew that the emperor's most beloved concubine was actually a member of the royal family of the country of Dian,
The sky is about to fall!
Thinking of this, he looked up at Zhu Feng.
There was no expression on that stern face at this moment.
There is no temperature at all.
He took one last look at the note, which contained the last sentence:
"The king and his ministers of the Neng Kingdom have decided to wait for the wizard to return to the country before determining the imperial concubine's origins."
In fact, Ye Zheng also saw this sentence just now.
Zhu Feng said: "Give the order——"
Ye Zheng looked at him nervously.
Zhu Feng took another deep breath and said, "Tell those people to stay put."
“……!”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Zheng's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally settled down.
However, he was also a little hesitant: "Then, our previous plan-"
"Don't act rashly."
“…”
"Let them investigate this matter first."
"yes!"
It seems that the imperial concubine's life experience is indeed a knot that cannot be untied.
Ye Zheng agreed, but just as he reached the door, Zhu Feng said again, "Wait a moment."
Ye Zheng turned around and looked at him.
Zhu Feng sat in the chair, his whole body emitting a heavy, gloomy atmosphere that seemed visible to the eyes.
He didn't say anything, and Ye Zheng kept waiting.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally spoke, his voice low and a little hoarse, saying, "Tell them that no matter what happens, the safety of the imperial concubine must be guaranteed first."
“…”
"Don't allow anyone to hurt her."
Ye Zheng looked at his eyes, which were red again, and said quickly, "Yes."
