Chapter 298: Unspoken Feelings
Nan Yan lay on the windowsill, looking at the gate outside, waiting for Ran Xiaoyu to come back and tell her the results of her investigation.
Even if nothing is found, as long as she comes back safely, that's fine.
At this time, a familiar figure walked in from outside.
She stood up suddenly, but when the person came closer, she saw that it was not Ran Xiaoyu.
"Ye Zheng?"
She looked at Ye Zheng in surprise as he walked to the window with a frown on his face, and asked in astonishment, "Why are you here?"
Although he had known for a long time that she was under house arrest in the Ye Ting, and knew that she must not look very good, but seeing the locked door, two wooden boards nailed to the window, and her lying in front of the windowsill with her eyes wide open, Ye Zheng still felt a little sad.
Why does this girl look so pitiful?
He said, "How are you?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood: "Are you asking about my illness? Don't worry, I haven't contracted that disease."
“…”
"I'm fine, and the fever is gone."
“…”
"They misunderstood, but it doesn't matter. Once the doctor comes to check again, they'll know I'm fine and can get out."
Nan Yan finished speaking hurriedly, then looked at him and said softly, "Your Majesty, how have you been lately?"
She was always worried about Zhu Feng, and she hadn't been able to see him once in these days.
I went to Shangbaosi that day, but I didn't see him.
I can only see his face in dreams, but dreams are always so vague.
Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Emperor—because of something, he's been in a bad mood and very angry."
"It's because of the epidemic, right?"
“…”
"I know, people have already started dying. If the imperial doctors and their colleagues can't find a solution, I'm afraid—"
“…”
"But the emperor must also take care of his health."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "You said he has a bad temper? Let me tell you a way..."
Seeing her eager look, Ye Zheng frowned even more tightly.
He suddenly said, "Why did you say those words to Master Jane?"
"……ah?"
Nan Yan was interrupted by him and was stunned: "What?"
Ye Zheng took a deep breath and said, "You want to leave the palace and go to Master Jian's house, right?"
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in shock: "You, how did you know?"
When he heard her say this, Ye Zheng immediately understood that this was true.
He heard it from Eunuch Yu. When he heard that Jian Tongguang went to the palace and said those words to the emperor, the emperor was furious. Only then did he understand where the murderous intent in his heart came from.
Si Nanyan actually wanted to leave the palace secretly, and go to the Jian family.
Although, as a female official, it was normal for her to want to leave the palace, and even her marriage was allowed, but——
He understood too well the secret feelings in Zhu Feng's heart that he was unwilling to express.
It would be strange if the emperor wasn’t angry after knowing this!
Nan Yan didn't expect him to ask this, and she didn't expect him to know about this. She said foolishly: "You, how do you know? I haven't told anyone, and I have already refused-"
Before he could finish his words, a group of people suddenly walked in from outside.
Looking up, I saw a group of guards.
Ye Zheng was startled.
Although these guards were there to protect the imperial palace, they were not allowed to walk around the harem without permission, and of course they were not allowed to enter the palace at will.
He hurried forward: "Why are you here?"
The leader, Ying Shao, bowed and saluted upon seeing him, then said, "Master Ye, we are following the Emperor's order to arrest all the palace maids in the Ye Ting and imprison them to interrogate them regarding this case of harem evildoing."
"What?!"
