Chapter 1155 Are You Not Wrong at All?
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside. Zhu Feng turned around and saw several Jinyiwei coming back. They stood at the door and did not dare to come in again. They all knelt on the ground.
Zhu Feng asked, "Where's the assassin?"
"I was incompetent and let him get away."
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned.
Although he had seen what had just happened, and that the assassin was so cruel and cunning, actually injuring people indiscriminately in the crowd, causing chaos and waiting for an opportunity to escape, he still felt a surge of anger when he heard that he had not been caught.
Nan Yan was almost stabbed by him!
Moreover, this assassin could not have appeared here to assassinate the imperial concubine for no reason. He must have come with some purpose.
Perhaps, the tragedy of the Jane family was related to him.
If they can catch one, it will be a help to their current predicament.
But I didn't expect——
He said in a deep voice: "Useless thing!"
Several Jinyiwei knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads: "Your Majesty, please punish me."
"After you return, you will go back to the Northern Pacification Division to confess your crimes."
"yes."
The Jinyiwei naturally knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to say much. After receiving the order, they retreated.
The house, which was already so quiet that there was not a sound at all, fell into silence again.
Nan Yan raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng's face.
Probably due to blood loss, his lips were a little pale, but the murderous aura between his brows was rising.
Everything that happened tonight happened so suddenly.
Even she herself, her heartbeat has not yet returned to normal. If Zhu Feng had not appeared, she was afraid that she would really -
After a long silence, she said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
“…”
Zhu Feng looked down at her.
He was silent for a while, but then asked, "Why do you think I came here?"
“…”
"Are you still angry with me?"
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and said nothing.
Zhu Feng's breath became heavier: "Or do you still think that I was responsible for what happened to the Jian family?"
When he said this, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
As he exerted force, the wound on his arm was torn again, and blood gushed out again, directly staining the collar of the clothes that Nan Yan had bandaged for him red.
"emperor!"
Nan Yan felt her heart tremble, and her teeth couldn't clench tightly. She quickly reached out and pressed his arm: "Your injury!"
Zhu Feng didn't even glance at it: "What is this?"
“…”
"Do you think I care about this little injury?"
“…”
Nan Yan's eyes were red again, but she didn't dare to look up at him. She just lowered her head, tore off a piece of her underwear, and bandaged him again, saying in a deep voice: "You don't care, but——"
Just then, footsteps were heard outside again.
But it was those officials.
As soon as they arrived, they knelt at the door, trembling: "Your humble servant greets the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."
The voice was also trembling.
They never imagined that a dead Jian Tongguang could have such great power and cause such chaos. Today, the imperial concubine was almost assassinated here, and the emperor was directly injured.
They're probably going to lose their heads.
They kowtowed one after another and said, "Your Majesty, please spare us. We are late in protecting you. Please forgive us."
Zhu Feng still had a hint of murderous intent in him, and when he spoke, his voice was filled with suffocating pressure: "Have you done everything I asked you to do?"
"In reply to the Emperor, some of the people who participated in the chaos tonight—the little people—have been apprehended."
Caught some.
That is to say, some people still ran away.
In fact, this is no wonder. The situation was so chaotic before. Nan Yan was only accompanied by Ran Xiaoyu and a few Jinyiwei. Zhu Feng came alone. How could he possibly control everyone?
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "Useless thing!"
A group of people were kowtowing outside, making loud noises.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, but murderous intent was already visible in his eyes.
Before, Nan Yan was almost assassinated, and the chaos among those people had made him feel that someone was clearly manipulating everything behind the scenes. The extermination of the Jian family seemed to be just the beginning.
There seemed to be no way to quench his rage except by killing.
But at this moment, Nan Yan's gentle voice sounded in my ears——
"Your Majesty, arresting those people is not a solution. Interrogate them. If there are no problems, we should release them as soon as possible."
Zhu Feng frowned and looked at her.
Although Nan Yan was still a little shaken by the feeling of having "survived a disaster", her mind was surprisingly clear. She said, "Originally, they had already complained about the court because of the Jian family's affairs. Now that the emperor has arrested them, I'm afraid even more people will start to talk nonsense."
“…”
"The imperial court cannot afford to make any more mistakes."
Moreover, she could clearly feel that some people in the crowd were deliberately provoking her and inciting the people. These people must have been prepared in advance, and even if they were caught, she was afraid that she would not be able to catch them.
Therefore, those who were actually arrested were probably just some instigated students and ordinary people.
This is also a very sensitive time.
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did you all hear that?"
The people outside hurriedly said, "I heard everything."
"Go down and do it."
"Yes, yes."
The group of people kowtowed repeatedly as if they had escaped death, then stood up and left.
Zhu Feng then slowly turned around and looked at her. Nan Yan looked at the silent room and the candlestick on the table, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "Do you still think that I was responsible for the Jian family's affairs?"
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and did not answer the question. Instead, she looked up at him and said with a sob, "Then, Your Majesty still believes that he has done nothing wrong?"
“…”
“…”
After saying this, both of them fell silent.
Nan Yan looked straight into his eyes. Even though tears were welling up in her eyes and she was almost burned, she refused to retreat at all. She just stared at him stubbornly, as if she was determined to wait for a result.
After a long while, Zhu Feng said, "You still want to say that Jian Ruocheng is innocent?"
“…”
This answer made Nan Yan's heart sink.
I thought to myself: After all, you are still unwilling to admit where you went wrong.
However, facing the tragic situation of the Jian family, she could only endure the severe pain and said, "Jian Ruocheng was innocent to begin with."
“…”
"He came to Prince Ning's side not out of genuine loyalty to him, but for a purpose."
“…”
"I've been wondering these past few days how the Jian family, who didn't have any enemies, could have suffered such a tragic annihilation."
“…”
"The only possibility is—"
