Chapter 2941 Who is the enemy?
Nan Yan said, "The prince is also here to plead for He Yi?"
"also?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengxuan's eyes lit up and he said, "The Imperial Concubine is also...?"
Hearing this, Zhu Feng glanced at Nan Yan.
Nan Yan shook her head and said, "No, this is a matter of the previous dynasty. The harem cannot interfere in politics, so I dare not ask too much. I just heard that many ministers have come to plead for mercy recently."
“…”
Hearing this, Zhu Chengxuan looked at Zhu Feng cautiously again.
He said softly, "It can be seen that this is what people want."
Zhu Feng's face originally showed no emotion, but when he heard this, his expression suddenly darkened. He said, "Why, the people's will is what the Crown Prince thinks, that what I did is against their will?"
Zhu Chengxuan had originally said this with great courage, and it really aroused Zhu Feng's anger. He hurriedly said, "Your son dare not."
"Don't dare?"
Zhu Feng sneered, "You can even say the words 'people's wishes'. What are you thinking? Can't I guess it?"
“…”
"Now, you are the one who has won the hearts of the people."
“…”
"Should I follow the will of the people and give up the throne to you?" If his anger had only made Zhu Chengxuan uneasy just now, this sentence was enough to make Zhu Chengxuan, the crown prince, lose his soul. He was so scared that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Father, please forgive me. I never meant that. Please forgive me!"
"snort!"
Nan Yan had already walked over to Zhu Feng's desk and saw the Crown Prince trembling with fear. It had been a long time since she had seen this child like this. Honestly, although he was also her biological son, a little history reading and hearing would reveal that few emperors truly loved a "Crown Prince." After all, facing an heir who waited daily for his death to take over everything was a very complicated feeling.
Therefore, the princes of every dynasty lived in fear even if they were only one step away from the throne.
For some time before, the relationship between father and son had eased a lot, but now, after becoming the crown prince, Zhu Chengxuan had to be cautious. One wrong word could really be a disaster.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan couldn't bear it.
He softly advised, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would never have such thoughts. Your Majesty, please do not wrong him."
Zhu Feng glared at her.
But in the end, he didn't say much, just waved his hand and said, "Go away!"
Zhu Chengxuan originally came to plead for He Yi, and still had many things to say, but at this time, when he heard what the emperor said, and the imperial concubine standing beside him gave him a look, indicating that he should not annoy the emperor again, he had no choice but to kowtow and retreat.
After he left, Nan Yan walked to Zhu Feng's side.
She said softly, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten Wang Baizhi's instructions again? You can't get angry."
As he spoke, he placed the bowl of ginseng tea in his hand next to him on the table.
Zhu Feng still had some anger left: "Then why are you still speaking up for him?"
Nan Yan laughed and said, "If I don't speak up for the Crown Prince, then he'll just stand there and continue to anger the Emperor, won't he?"
“…”
"I did this to prevent the emperor from getting angry again."
"snort!"
Although he knew that she was just trying to comfort him, Zhu Feng had no intention of getting angry again. He just got angry for a moment, but he felt a tightness in his chest and an indescribable dull pain, as if someone was cutting his heart with a blunt knife.
Just as he closed his eyes to rest, he felt Nan Yan walking towards him again.
He didn't open his eyes either.
In this world, if there is anyone who can approach me when I am completely unconscious without making me feel hostile, probably it is only Nan Yan.
A small hand reached out and touched his chest, kneading it gently.
Helping him to calm down.
I don’t know if she used any special technique, but even though she only rubbed it twice, it seemed like the stuffiness in Zhu Feng’s chest was really relieved by her.
He let out a long sigh.
Then, Nan Yan was heard saying softly, "He Yi has remained silent. What is the Emperor going to do next?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then slowly uttered a sentence:
"Of course we have to solve the problem where it happened."
Although it was just a simple sentence, it made Nan Yan's heart sink.
In fact, this sentence was not surprising to Nan Yan.
It should be said that after seeing the letter sent by Xu Shifeng at the Prince's Mansion, she already had this premonition in her heart. Ye Zheng died in Jiangnan, and Xu Shifeng wrote clearly in the letter that they were trying to investigate the source behind the civil unrest, and the source was most likely from Xingluo Lake.
so--
Nan Yan whispered, "Your Majesty is going to Xingluo Lake?"
Zhu Feng still closed his eyes and rested.
Said: "Not bad."
After saying this, he looked up at Nan Yan, and clearly saw the hesitation and uneasiness in her eyes. He said, "I know you don't want me to go, but you should also know that I have to go."
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan smiled bitterly.
This was probably why she realized the matter as soon as she saw the letter, but in the past few days, no matter what Zhu Feng did, or what happened in the front court and the harem, she never said a word of advice.
If it were someone else, if it were something else, she would still give them advice.
But Ye Zheng...can't.
Perhaps others only knew that Ye Zheng had been with Zhu Feng since childhood and was his confidant, and they could not understand the special position Ye Zheng held in Zhu Feng's heart, but how could she not understand?
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "Your Majesty...is he going to mobilize troops?"
Zhu Feng said, "We should have mobilized our forces several years ago."
“…”
"At that time, it was because the timing was not right."
“…”
"Later, there was the relocation of the capital, the rebellion of the Seventh Prince, the Shazhou Guard, the Handong Guard, the Western Regions... all these things left me no time to take care of them. I kept thinking that one day I would be able to deal with them. As long as they didn't cause trouble, I would give them one more day."
“…”
“But I didn’t expect…”
Having said that, he clenched his teeth tightly.
Nan Yan couldn't help but frown.
Of course she remembered what happened on Xingluo Lake. In fact, Zhu Feng had already sent troops to occupy two Langya Islands and was preparing to launch an attack on the pirates in Tiangang Lianhuanwu.
However, at that moment, he was kidnapped by Arslan.
Because of this, Zhu Feng gave up on continuing to use troops in Xingluo Lake.
Later, the two Langya Islands were taken back by the pirates. If they really wanted to use military force this time, it would obviously be a lot of trouble.
But most importantly—
Have they figured out who the enemy is?
