Chapter 317 But, it is not in accordance with etiquette
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered slightly.
His voice dropped. "How did the Queen know?"
Xu Miaoyin said, "Ever since the case of the evil spirit technique occurred, the emperor imprisoned the palace maids in the palace, and I have been keeping an eye on them. Last night, the emperor personally entered the prison and brought out the female official... I also know about this."
“…”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Feng's expression and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said, "What crime has the Queen committed?"
“…”
"This matter is not a big deal; it is not a crime for the Queen to know about it."
He looked at Xu Miaoyin and saw that she had kept her head down and hadn't raised it, so he asked, "Does the Queen have anything else to say?"
“…”
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Xu Miaoyin hesitated for a moment, then finally said softly, "It's not a big deal for the Emperor to let the court ladies live in Wuying Palace... but it's against etiquette."
Zhu Feng frowned.
After saying that, Xu Miaoyin was no longer so nervous. She said, "Your Majesty, I have never been jealous. I have always felt that the female official is intelligent and virtuous. I hope Your Majesty can take her into the harem."
“…”
"But now, her status is still a slave."
“…”
"It's against etiquette for a slave to stay in the emperor's residence. If word gets out to the harem, I'm afraid the sisters will also..."
She didn't dare to finish what she was going to say, so she just bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."
“…”
Zhu Feng fell silent.
These words were unpleasant to the ears, but at this moment - after experiencing the anger that had consumed his mind in the past few days, he really didn't have any more anger.
Although it may be unpleasant to the ear, it is honest advice.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, I understand what the Queen means."
“…”
"I will take care of it."
Xu Miaoyin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty is wise."
After saying these words, she knew it was inconvenient for her to stay any longer, so she took her leave.
Zhu Feng watched her figure disappear in the sunset. He paused for a while, then turned around, walked to the front of Wuying Palace and pushed open the door.
He moved very quietly, also worried about waking up the people inside.
But when he walked into the hall and looked up, he found a slender figure standing by the bed.
He thought that the person was still lying in bed resting. His face was pale, and his long hair was scattered behind his head. Because of his injuries, he was shaky and could only hold on to the bedpost with two trembling hands to keep himself standing.
His brows immediately furrowed: "Why are you up?"
His voice was loud and powerful, and when it suddenly sounded, it startled Nan Yan so much that she trembled and almost fell down.
He quickly stepped forward and held her in his arms.
"What are you doing?!"
Feeling the slender body in his arms getting a little cold, and not knowing how long she had been standing like that, Zhu Feng felt a surge of anger rushing to his head.
Nan Yan fell into his arms, feeling his hot body temperature, and couldn't help but shiver.
She turned her head away, avoiding his gaze, and said in panic, "This slave deserves to die."
"What the hell?"
These two words made Zhu Fengguang even more angry, but looking at her flashing eyes, he thought about it again and began to understand.
She heard everything that was said outside just now.
Nan Yan said softly, "Your Majesty, the Empress is right. This servant should not stay in Your Majesty's chambers. It is against etiquette. Please allow this servant to return—ah!"
Before she could finish her words, she let out a gasp.
Because at this time, Zhu Feng had already picked her up sideways.
