Chapter 1094 I'm Not Wrong
Qin Ruolan looked at him carefully again and said, "It's just—"
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth: "Just what?"
"However, he has been out of the spotlight ever since he was dismissed from office a few days ago. Everyone originally thought he would never get involved in officialdom again, but unexpectedly, he actually served under Prince Ning."
"What?"
Qin Ruolan said softly: "Of course, this is also - a wise bird chooses a tree to roost in."
Although the words were good, a "confidant" who was dismissed from office by him turned around and joined the army of Prince Ning. Moreover, Prince Ning had now openly rebelled. This sentence made Zhu Feng feel very uncomfortable.
He gritted his teeth faintly.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Why was he dismissed from office?"
"this--"
Qin Ruolan showed an embarrassment on his face. He did not speak immediately, but lowered his head.
Zhu Feng frowned and looked at her, his eyes becoming even more gloomy.
"Why, can't you tell me?"
"No, it's not."
"Then why are you hesitating?"
"It's just that this matter - it involves the imperial concubine, so -"
"Noble Concubine?"
Although hearing the word "imperial concubine" no longer gave him a splitting headache like in the past and a blank in his mind afterwards, Zhu Feng now seemed to prefer to have a headache himself.
Because among the reasons why Jian Ruocheng was dismissed from office, if one of the reasons was because of the imperial concubine, then I am afraid that—
He gritted his teeth: "Why?"
Qin Ruolan lowered her head and said softly, "It was before. When the Emperor brought the Imperial Concubine and the concubines from Beiping to the Golden Tower, the Imperial Concubine seemed to have nearly fallen."
"Nearly fell? What does that have to do with him?"
"this--"
Qin Ruolan's eyes flickered as she stammered, "Although I was present at that incident, I didn't see it clearly. I only remember that Second Young Master Jian was very close to the Imperial Concubine."
“…”
"As a result, the emperor dismissed him from office on the spot and drove him away."
“…”
"I don't know if it's because he couldn't support the concubine."
“……!”
Zhu Feng's breath suddenly became very heavy.
Jian Ruocheng, Si Nanyan!
Between the two of them—
How could an ordinary official get close to the imperial concubine? Even if he didn't support the imperial concubine, it was the fault of the palace maids and eunuchs serving around her. How could he blame a minister!
Just thinking about this made him furious and he wanted to kill the person.
But at that time, he did not kill him, but only dismissed him from his post.
However, he did not expect that after being dismissed from office, he immediately went to join Prince Ning, and not long after, Prince Ning openly rebelled against him. The reason behind this is self-evident.
The second son of the Jian family, Jian Ruocheng.
No wonder I have such conflicting feelings whenever I think of Jian Ruocheng. I want to kill him. Perhaps deep in my memory, there is still resentment towards their relationship.
Good job, Jian Ruocheng!
What a great Si Nanyan!
He clenched his fists tightly, and his palms could feel the stinging pain from his nails digging into his flesh.
He thought about it, then suddenly looked at Qin Ruolan solemnly and said, "Is everything you said true?"
These words also made Qin Ruolan feel a little hurt.
Her face was pale, but with her head lowered, one could only see her long feathery eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was feeling uneasy at the moment. She said softly, "This matter is of great importance. I dare not deceive you. Your Majesty, you can ask anyone about what I just said. I am not lying."
Zhu Feng looked at her solemnly again.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance, shaking the earth.
Both of them were startled. Qin Ruolan cried out in fear and rushed to Zhu Feng's side: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Zhu Feng just glanced at her.
However, the initial panic quickly faded from his eyes, and he immediately regained his composure. He saw several servants hurriedly running towards him.
"emperor!"
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "Have Prince Ning's troops arrived?"
"Yes! We're already outside the city."
They had just heard the news from Pegasus outside and immediately came in to report.
Zhu Feng glanced ahead and said, "Here they come, pretty fast."
The attendant hurriedly said, "As soon as the rebels arrived, they immediately began to attack the city. Lord Wen has led his troops to resist at the city gate."
"Um."
Zhu Feng nodded lightly.
Zhu Xuan's eagerness was not unexpected to him.
After all, only if he captured and killed himself, his rebellion would be considered successful, otherwise -
Several attendants looked at Zhu Feng cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?"
Those who knew him well knew that he had been stationed in Peking for more than ten years, and whenever there was a war he would personally fight the enemy, without hesitation. However, this time, there were not many troops in Hecheng, and everyone was afraid that he would "lead the army in person" again. By that time, it was feared that all the troops would not be enough to protect him.
But Zhu Feng said calmly: "Nothing."
"ah?"
"After the battle is over, let Wen Ye come to see me."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards Liuhe Hall.
Several servants were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that he was so confident in Wen Ye that he even didn't allow them to report the battle situation at any time.
So, he immediately turned around and left.
Qin Ruolan stood there, watching Zhu Feng's back as he left, feeling conflicted and painful.
After a long while, she murmured, "I, I'm not wrong."
“…”
"I didn't lie to him. I told him the truth."
“…”
"I just want him to come back to me. I—I'm not wrong."
After saying that, he walked away in a daze.

The sky gradually darkened.
The offensive outside the city gate gradually weakened.
Wen Ye stood on the city wall, watching the soldiers below who had been attacking for most of the day and were already exhausted gradually withdraw from the battle circle. The city was in a mess, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, I got through this.
In fact, compared with the battles he had fought with Zhu Feng against the people of Dian in the past, today's battle was just a small scene. In fact, King Ning and his subordinates were not good at attacking cities, so the casualties in this battle were not many.
only--
He slowly walked down the city wall and saw that there were many damaged areas on the city gate.
Although their offensive was not as powerful as the attack by the Kingdom of Dian, Hecheng was obviously not as strong as Beiping City.
I can handle this game today.
I can handle it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
But how long can it last?
He was silent for a moment, then turned to look around at the wounded soldiers and immediately gave orders: "Let everyone heal their wounds and rest quickly, recuperate, and prepare for tomorrow's battle."
"yes."
At this time, several attendants came forward and said, "Master Wen, the emperor wants you to go to the other garden to see him."
"oh?"
Wen Ye thought about it and made some arrangements. He asked his deputy general to lead the troops to guard the city to prevent King Ning's troops from counterattacking at night. After a little tidying up, he immediately jumped on his horse and galloped towards Jinlou Villa.
