Chapter 2291 Punishment
Zhu Feng walked all the way to the bedroom with a gloomy face. As soon as he entered the garden gate, he saw the little palace maid named Nian Qiu coming out with a basin of water.
When she looked up and saw the emperor, her eyes widened in fear.
“Emperor, Emperor…”
Zhu Feng's face darkened and he looked at her coldly. Nian Qiu was so frightened by his intimidating gaze that her legs went weak and she almost dropped the basin of water in her hand. She hurriedly knelt at his feet.
"Your Majesty, this servant pays homage to His Majesty."
Zhu Feng glanced at her coldly.
He vaguely remembered that this girl was the one who was appointed as the Imperial Concubine when Nan Yan was first canonized. He was worried about the old people in the palace, so he promoted her from among the newcomers. Because she was close to Nan Yan, he specially asked Eunuch Yu and others to check her out.
This girl has a clean family background and no bad deeds.
That's why I felt at ease letting her follow Nan Yan.
Unexpectedly, over the years, Tongyun has been carefully and properly protecting Nanyan, and Ran Xiaoyu has also become mature and steady under Nanyan's guidance.
But she...
But it flows downwards.
Seeing her kneeling at his feet, trembling, Zhu Feng could hardly hold back his urge to kick her over.
But in the end, I still endured it.
He only said solemnly: "Where is the imperial concubine?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, she, she, she is sick."
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The imperial concubine is ill, so what are you doing?"
"This—, this servant has failed in his duty."
"How can I forgive you for being so careless!"
After saying this, he turned his head and ordered: "Drag her away, give her twenty lashes, and deduct half a year's salary from her!"
Xiao Shunzi behind him hurriedly said, "Yes."
At the command, several young eunuchs came forward and dragged Nian Qiu away. Nian Qiu still begged for mercy, but Zhu Feng said coldly, "If you cry, you will get ten more strokes of the cane!"
“……!”
When Nian Qiu heard this, she was so scared that she bit her lower lip and dared not shout anymore.
The person was taken away.
Zhu Feng watched the messy footsteps fade away, then he let out a deep breath through his nose, continued walking forward, pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom.
Ran Xiaoyu was sitting by the bed. She had finally helped Nan Yan lower her temperature a little and she felt a little better. She had just breathed a sigh of relief when she turned around and saw the door being pushed open.
Who barged in without saying a word?
She immediately stood up and walked over, only to see Zhu Feng standing at the door. She opened her eyes wide in shock: "Emperor——"
Zhu Feng didn't wait for her to react or kneel down to salute, he just said solemnly: "Get out!"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu was still in a daze.
The imperial concubine didn't let anyone tell the emperor about her illness, so the emperor didn't come for the past two days out of spite, but this time, he suddenly came.
Could it be that he turned around and told Zhu Feng what he had just said to Ye Zheng?
Thinking of this, Ran Xiaoyu came back to her senses, hurriedly knelt down and saluted Zhu Feng, then turned back to look at Nan Yan who was still lying on the bed, and then hurriedly walked away from Zhu Feng's side.
As soon as I went out, I felt the cold wind hitting my face.
The door to the bedroom was heavily closed behind him.
Ran Xiaoyu paused and looked back. Because Nanyan could not see the wind and the windows were closed, she could only vaguely see the flickering candlelight. Zhu Feng's tall figure was projected on the window, slowly walking towards the bed.
Ran Xiaoyu said in her heart: This Ye Zheng has such a big mouth!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile.
Turned around and left.
