Chapter 2544 I don’t care about these things
Hearing these words, a light seemed to flash in Li Bushang's eyes.
After a long silence, he slowly lowered his head and said softly, "That's good."
The voice seemed to tremble slightly.
Nan Yan couldn't help but look up at him. She didn't know whether his words meant that he was relieved, happy for her, or had some other emotion. But at this moment, she couldn't care less.
The most important thing at the moment was what the dancers had just said, which made her a little worried.
A gust of wind blew over, and the grass rippled, as if it would swallow them both. The two men on horseback did not move.
Li Bushang looked at her quietly for a long time. Seeing that her brows were slightly furrowed and her eyes were dazed, he knew that she was thinking about something.
He whispered, "You are still thinking about what those people just said."
“…”
"Someone seemed to know that the emperor's carriage would pass through there, and also knew that the postmaster would prepare songs and dances to please the emperor. So he paid these dancers to go to the front post station to solicit business. This person is really not simple."
Nan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Although the emperor's visit to Handongwei is not a major event, it is not completely secret. When the news spread here, it is not surprising that someone knew that the emperor's carriage would pass through the post station."
“…”
"And there is no official in the imperial court who doesn't want to please the emperor, let alone a small postmaster. Even if he doesn't want to please him, he wouldn't dare to be disrespectful. It's not difficult to guess that he would want to prepare songs and dances to entertain the emperor."
That being said, things seemed to follow a logical course of events.
Li Bushang asked, "Then what are you thinking about?"
Nan Yan said, "I'm wondering what this person's purpose is."
“…”
"The postmaster's goal is naturally to please the emperor; the dancer's goal is nothing more than to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix."
“…”
"But what is his purpose?"
“…”
"If it's to please the Emperor, then this person obviously hasn't revealed anything. In fact, I don't even know if the Emperor has noticed this."
“…”
"Why would this person do this?"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the carrier pigeon letter of unknown origin. With only four words "Chaganbala", Zhu Feng was led to Handongwei. If she guessed correctly, it should be the same person who hired the dancer.
He led Zhu Feng to Baihu City, obviously because of the big event that was about to happen in Baihu City.
But what is the purpose of bringing a few dancers here?
Could it be that after caring about national affairs, he also wants to care about what happens on the emperor's dragon bed?
Although she has lived in the deep palace over the years, she has not made no progress. Understanding people's thoughts and guessing their ideas are what the concubines in the harem are best at. She has gradually mastered this "craft". From a person's behavior, she can roughly infer the person's purpose and even vaguely guess the other person's character.
But these things in front of us are puzzling.
This person's actions are sometimes open and sometimes covert, sometimes good and sometimes evil. Not only is it impossible to see through his temperament, but even his purpose is completely unpredictable.
Just as she was thinking hard, the sound of a large army came from the General Logistics Department.
Looking back, Ruoshui was riding a pony and leading a caravan towards them.
Everyone was left far behind by their horses and was getting a little anxious. Fortunately, Miss Ruoshui ran back to lead the way. Several young eunuchs ran forward, knelt in front of Nan Yan, and cried, "Your Majesty, please don't do this anymore. If Your Majesty really encounters any danger or something goes wrong, the Emperor will definitely chop off our heads. We might as well just die headfirst in front of Your Majesty, wuwuwu."
Seeing them like this, Nan Yan smiled bitterly.
Said: "Okay, I will get back in the car."
After saying that, he turned over and dismounted.
But she didn't expect that the grass on the ground was so thick and slippery, and she almost fell. Fortunately, Li Bushan, who was standing next to her, was quicker to get off the horse and supported her.
"careful!"
Nan Yan glanced at him, said nothing, and just pulled her hand back.
Li Bushang held on tightly.
Nan Yan's brows knitted together, and she said in a deep voice, "You, let go!"
Li Bushang said, "The grass here is thick. I wonder if there are rocks or even snakes. I will help the queen get into the carriage."
He still refused to let go, and Nan Yan didn't want to pull him away, for fear of attracting everyone's attention, which would be even worse.
I could only be supported by him and walk towards the golden chariot.
As they got in the car, Nan Yan thought for a moment, then whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don't spread this matter for now. Let's talk about it when we get to Handongwei."
Li Bu Shang supported her arm and let her get into the car, saying expressionlessly: "I don't care about these things."
“…”
Nan Yan's heart sank slightly again.
He was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Although the status of the other commanders in the court was not as high as those high-ranking officials, everyone knew that they were all the emperor's confidants.
But this "confidant" clearly said that he did not care about the emperor's affairs.
Nan Yan didn't know what to say to him.
After she got into the car, Li Bushang gently let go of her hand, looked up at her, and then lowered the curtain.
He turned around, mounted his horse, and waved his hand: "Forward."
The people in the caravan finally put their minds at ease and rode their horses to continue on their journey.
The blood-red sunset in front slowly fell to the ground, just like bright red blood, gradually blending into the earth.

Zhu Feng's clenched hands slowly loosened after he felt a chill on his head.
Xue Yun pulled out the last silver needle of the day from the acupuncture point, looked down at Zhu Feng's reaction, and said softly: "Your Majesty, today... I am healed."
"Um."
Zhu Feng just responded.
But still closed his eyes.
Even though the silver needle had been pulled out of his body, and even though the illusions that had emerged in his mind during the acupuncture and detoxification process had disappeared at this moment, the almost real feeling of suffocation still made it difficult for him to extricate himself.
Until this moment, he was still holding his breath.
Seeing his face flushed and teeth marks on his cheeks, Xue Yun whispered again: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
Zhu Feng then opened his eyes.
Eyes, still a little red.
Xue Yun said worriedly, "Your Majesty...if Your Majesty really can't hold on, you can stop temporarily. The Imperial Concubine also said--"
"No need,"
Before she could finish, Zhu Feng had already let out a long sigh and said solemnly, "Just listen to me."
Xue Yun glanced at him with a complicated expression and could only respond softly, "...Yes."
Ever since the last time the emperor and Lord Chen Zixiao rode out with a few personal soldiers, they came back in a somewhat strange mood. They had originally agreed to temporarily stop the acupuncture and detoxification, but brought it up again.
