Chapter 724 Cousin, are you okay?
Gray pigeon!
Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Only then did she remember that the biggest discovery she made when she went to Kulun City in the Kingdom of Dian, apart from her own life experience, was this gray pigeon!
It’s just that I had just woken up and everything was still a mess. Plus, I suddenly found out that I was pregnant, so I was so happy that I forgot about those things.
I just remembered now that I haven’t had time to tell Zhu Feng about the gray pigeon!
As a result, another one flew over.
Could it be that, like before, it brought some important information?
Who sent it? The lonely Empress Xiuyun in the deep palace, or Monk, who also used gray pigeons to deliver messages?
Nan Yan's heart was pounding, and she walked forward hurriedly with confusion. The pigeon seemed to be well-taught. When it was picked up, it only flapped its wings twice and then lay still.
And there was indeed a ring on its foot.
Nan Yan walked back to the room holding it, grabbed some cake crumbs and sprinkled them on the table for it to eat, then took a note from the anklet.
Expand and see.
Above, only the simplest words were written in the language of the Dian Kingdom:
"Cousin, are you okay?"
…
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and looked for a long time.
She rubbed her eyes and looked again, and it was still the same words; she thought about it, sprinkled some water on it, and put it on the fire to roast for a long time.
Still only those few words.
Is it really just a simple letter of greeting?
She held the small piece of paper for a long time and couldn't help but smile.
This person really doesn't look like an emperor.
I felt it from the first time I saw him, and now, he sent a pigeon to fly so far, but it did not bring any important message or orders to the Princess of Nanming County, but just a simple greeting.
Cousin, are you okay?
He is just a relative, a cousin of Monk.
As Nan Yan smiled, she felt a slight warmth rising in her heart.
She had never been cared for like this by a brother.
When they were young, Simuyun was very contemptuous and hostile towards her. Even now, they had common interests and could live in peace with each other, but there was no brotherly love at all.
Monk, on the other hand, did not reject his cousin who showed up unexpectedly. Instead, he took good care of her in every way.
This time on the beacon tower, if it weren’t for him, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have been so easy to leave.
This brother, apart from anything else, is really good to me.
Nan Yan was holding the paper and smiling when Zhu Feng walked in from outside and saw her smiling face.
Immediately frowned: "What are you looking at?"
"emperor!"
As soon as Nan Yan saw him, she stood up immediately.
Zhu Feng walked in a few steps, saw the note in her hand, took it and looked at it: "What is this?"
"Well, this, this is from Monk."
"Monk?"
Upon hearing this name, Zhu Feng's expression became even darker.
"What is this he wrote?"
"Nothing, just a greeting."
"What greetings?"
"He said - 'Cousin, are you all right?'
“…”
Seeing Zhu Feng's ugly face, Nan Yan panicked and said hurriedly, "I didn't lie to you, Your Majesty. There are really only these few words on it. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone in the palace who knows the Neng language to take a look."
“…”
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth even harder.
It was these few words that made him angry.
If Monk had written to bribe Nan Yan, or simply asked her to do something, he would not be so angry.
But, this sentence——
Cousin, are you okay?
What's the meaning? !
Who is he trying to get close to by acting like a loving older brother?!
Zhu Feng stared at the piece of paper, wanting to crumple it up and throw it into the fire. However, seeing Nan Yan's nervous expression, he had to suppress his anger.
She is pregnant now and cannot be scared.
So, he took a deep breath, sat down, and said coldly: "What does he mean by sending this to you?"
Nan Yan thought about it, then said, "Maybe, he's just concerned about me."
“…”
"Well, my mother, Princess Tana, is his aunt."
"snort!"
Seeing that the more he talked about this matter, the worse Zhu Feng's mood became, Nan Yan didn't dare to say anything more. Just at this moment, the pigeon perched in the room made a cooing sound, and Zhu Feng immediately turned around to take a look.
His brows furrowed immediately: "Pigeon?"
"By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing I haven't had time to tell you."
"What's up?"
Nan Yan pointed at the pigeon and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that more than half a year ago, during the Battle of Peking, I received a message from a gray pigeon."
“…”
"That's why I thought of using a fake imperial seal to disrupt the morale of King Beili's army."
Zhu Feng's expression gradually became serious.
Of course he remembers.
As soon as he saw the gray pigeon, he remembered everything.
Nan Yan said, "This time, when I go to Kulun City, the capital of the Neng Kingdom, I will try to look there to see if anyone raises these gray pigeons."
Zhu Feng asked: "Monk?"
"The first person I discovered was a lady named Xiu Yun, who lived in the harem."
"Concubine?"
"Yes."
"If it was a concubine, how could she possibly send you such a message?"
"But," Nan Yan said softly, "that concubine was not selected to enter the palace."
"Um?"
"It was given to the emperor by the King of Beili."
“…”
When Zhu Feng heard this, his eyes flickered slightly.
As an emperor, he was certainly very clear about this matter. In the beginning, when power was unstable or control over government affairs was not strong enough, the emperor did need to form alliances and marry into the families of powerful ministers.
Just like back then, when he was still the Prince of Yan, Wu Yingqiu gave him Wu Wan and Gao Yurong.
As for Munch, perhaps the same principle applies.
only--
He murmured, "King Beili? His people shouldn't send that message."
Nan Yan nodded.
This was exactly what she had always found strange.
Although she saw the pigeons raised by Empress Xiuyun in the palace of the Kingdom of Dian, her suspicion was reduced a lot when she heard that they were given to Monk by King Ashige of Beili.
How could the people of King Beili send messages to help them defeat King Beili?
Zhu Feng said again: "Then this——"
"This one is from Monk."
Nan Yan continued, "He took me to White Tiger City. When we were waiting for the wizard, I discovered that he was also using these gray pigeons to deliver messages."
"Could it be him?"
Zhu Feng felt depressed when he thought about it.
In that battle, King Beili wanted to go to Yan State to find the whereabouts of the jade seal. If he found the jade seal of Neng State, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So, as an emperor, Munch must have hoped that he would fail.
In this case, it would be understandable if it was said that Munch conveyed the message.
