Chapter 1787: Acting like a spoiled child and getting jealous
She was his wife, a pregnant, coquettish, and jealous woman.
So he waved his hand and said, "Get out. If you can't serve tea, don't serve it!"
Hu Ji felt aggrieved and wanted to leave, but she was reluctant to leave the handsome man. After all, although there were many rich people coming and going in this place, such an outstanding man was rare.
Besides, how can this woman serve a good man with a big belly?
My beauty is not inferior to hers.
Thinking about it, he mustered up his courage, looked at Zhu Feng pitifully, and said softly, "Young Master..."
Seeing her like this, Nan Yan became even angrier and said, "Get out, get out. What does this young master thing have to do with you?"
Hu Ji couldn't bring herself to do that, so she had to leave in shame.
Only after the door was closed did Nan Yan let out a sigh of resentment. When she turned around again, she saw Zhu Feng leaning against the window frame, still holding the cup of tea in his hand, looking at her with a smile.
He said, "Ma'am, this is amazing."
“…”
Nan Yan couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.
Of course she knew that as a woman, as a concubine, she could not drive away the women around the emperor so rudely, but at that moment, she was like a she-wolf, defending her territory with all her ferocity.
What would Zhu Feng think?
In the past, he had promised himself that when they were just two people, he would allow himself to be jealous.
So what now?
She walked up to Zhu Feng with some trepidation and anxiety: "Your Majesty, are you angry?"
“…”
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, just looked at her.
His eyes moved to her belly again.
Then, with a slight smile on his lips, he reached out his hand to the top of her head and rubbed it hard.
Obviously, she was already a pregnant woman, a royal concubine of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the mother of Princess Xinping, but his actions were as if he were still a child.
Nan Yan shook her head when he rubbed her.
Then he looked at him and asked, "Is the Emperor angry?"
Zhu Feng just smiled.
Then he turned around, opened the window and looked outside.
As soon as the window opened, the noisy sounds from the street poured into the house again. Nan Yan couldn't help but walk over and stand by the window with him, looking at the bustling crowd below.
Nan Yan took a step forward and whispered, "Your Majesty...?"
At this time, Zhu Feng pointed across the street in the distance and said, "Look."
Nan Yan hurried to his side, placed her hands on the window frame, and looked in the direction of his finger. Not far ahead was a small building, a large shop with six doors all open. On the central door hung a plaque with three large characters written on it -
East and West Halls.
Nan Yan immediately opened her eyes wide: "That's it!"
Bailong City, Xue family.
The first two clues on the note Xue Ling gave her have already been found, so the third clue is -
Nan Yan took out the note from her sleeve and unfolded it.
The last two words are Xue Yun.
"Xue Yun..."
Zhu Feng silently repeated the name, then said, "Who is this Xue Yun? Is he Xue Ling's father? Or one of her brothers or sisters?"
Nan Yan shook her head: "She didn't say anything, and I don't know either."
Zhu Feng said, "We've already arrived in Bailong City and found the Xue family. Why can't we just go and look for the antidote? Why do we have to find this person?"
Nan Yan said: "Perhaps there are some twists and turns in it."
“…”
"Xue Ling only said that if we want to cure Ye Zheng's poison, we must follow the clues she gave us."
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let Xiao Shunzi go over first to investigate and see how deep the Xue family is, and find out who Xue Yun is. If there's no danger, we can come forward."
Nan Yan nodded: "That's right."
So Zhu Feng turned around and called Xiao Shunzi in.
Nan Yan stood by the window, listening to Zhu Feng's instructions while looking at the gates of the East and West Halls in the distance, where people kept coming in and out. After Zhu Feng finished his instructions, Xiao Shunzi took the order and went out.
After a while, he had changed his clothes and left the inn with a few people.
Nan Yan stood on the second floor, watching them walk down the long street toward the East and West Halls. She couldn't help but ask, "Can they make it?"
Zhu Feng said, "Let's take a look."
“…”
"Shunzi may not be good at other things, but he is very smart when it comes to this kind of thing."
"Um."
At this time, Ran Xiaoyu had asked the store owner to prepare some food and send it over. When they looked at it, they found that it was food they had never seen before. A lot of spices were added to it. As soon as it was delivered, the whole room was filled with a strong smell.
They felt it was novel, so they sat down and ate some.
The taste is hard to describe.
Although Nan Yan did not have any severe pregnancy reactions after becoming pregnant, eating something so strong and strange made her feel stuffy in her chest, and she immediately wanted to spit out what was in her mouth.
But when I turned around, I found that there was not even a spittoon in the room.
"evil--"
Nan Yan was about to vomit, and Ran Xiaoyu was also anxious and flustered: "What should I do?"
At this time, Zhu Feng stretched out his hand to her mouth and said, "Spit it out."
“…”
Nan Yan glanced at him and was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Feng said: "I'm about to vomit!"
Nan Yan opened her mouth and spat something fishy and smelly into his hand.
Zhu Feng didn't think it was dirty. He just wrapped the thing in a handkerchief and threw it aside. Then he said, "If you're not used to it, don't eat it. Wait a little longer and eat the food we brought with us."
“…”
Nan Yan looked at him quietly, took the cup of water offered by Ran Xiaoyu, took a sip and rinsed her mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Shunzi walking in from outside.
Both of them were a little surprised: "Why are you back so soon?"
Xiao Shunzi walked in dejectedly and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I messed up my job."
Zhu Feng asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Shunzi said, "I followed the emperor's instructions and disguised myself as a merchant selling medicinal herbs. I went into the store and asked the owner to buy some of their herbs. But they told me they didn't sell them to outsiders."
"What?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment: "Aren't they medicinal herb merchants?"
"yes."
Xiao Shunzi said, "But they only buy medicine from people who come in with prescriptions, and they don't do such large-scale business."
Nan Yan and Zhu Feng looked at each other.
That's strange.
Just now, that Hu Ji said that the Xue family only does business with big people and ignores small people. If the Xue family thinks Xiao Shunzi is a small person and looks down on such business, then wouldn’t the business of dispensing medicine according to prescriptions be even smaller?
What is going on here?
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and then said, "Well, have you asked Xue Yun?"
