Chapter 3274 True God
Zhu Feng also smiled, but his expression gradually became serious. He said, "Old Uncle King came to the northwest at this time. Why did he come? Why did he come at this time? The reason behind it must be complicated. He must be hiding something from us!"
Hearing the last sentence, Nan Yan nodded slightly.
She thought for a moment and said, "Then leave this matter to me. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about this. Just focus on dealing with White Tiger City and don't be distracted."
Zhu Feng looked at her with a smile.
If it were any other time, he would have teased her, but the situation was indeed complicated right now, and he didn't have much mood to chat with Nan Yan, so he just smiled and said, "Okay."

Because the old uncle had just arrived in Handongwei, although Nan Yan was itching to go, she did not go over to disturb him immediately. She just called Xiao Shunzi over in the afternoon and asked about the arrangements there. The old uncle was indeed a cultivator. The original wing was simple enough, and he had people move out all the unnecessary furnishings. There was only a lonely bed, a table, and a chair left in the room.
Xiao Shunzi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't even want two more teacups."
Nan Yan asked, "Is it so austere?"
Xiao Shunzi said, "It's obvious that they don't want anyone to disturb them. If anyone goes in, there won't even be a place to sit."
“…”
Nan Yan listened, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will ask the old uncle to have someone bring the chair in himself."
Xiao Shunzi looked at her in confusion.
Nan Yan didn't say much, just waved her hand and let him go. Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Nan Yan dragged Han Wang Chengjun out of bed.
Unlike his sister who was grumpy when she woke up and no one dared to wake her, Zhu Chengjun, despite being young, did not cry or make a fuss when he was woken up. He just rubbed his eyes and yawned while drowsily speaking with his hair in a mess. "Mother, why did you wake me up so early? I'm sleepy!"
Nan Yan sat aside drinking tea, watching his personal maid helping him dress, fidgeting with the little man until he was wobbly, and said with a smile, "Get up and walk around, and you won't feel sleepy anymore."
After Cheng Jun finished washing up, he hurriedly stuffed two bites of food into his mouth.
Then, Nan Yan took him to the door of the east wing.
Looking at the tightly closed door and windows in front of him, not even a crack was open, just like a solid fortress. Moreover, since no one lived in the east wing, after the old uncle moved in, he was a cultivator, and Chen Zixiao had expressly forbidden outsiders to come here and disturb him. Therefore, the entire east wing was so quiet that there was not even a sound of wind, and there was an invisible sense of majesty that made people dare not be presumptuous.
If an ordinary person came here, even if he wanted to see the old uncle, he would just stand at the door and return home in disappointment.
And Nan Yan didn't have enough courage to knock on such a closed door.
However, with her little son standing by her side, Nan Yan felt much braver.
Zhu Chengjun whispered, "Mother, is this the place you are talking about? What should I do there?"
Nan Yan bent down and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhu Chengjun nodded, then coughed twice to clear his throat. He walked forward and banged on the door, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Uncle, open the door!"
In such a quiet east wing, the sudden knock on the door and his voice were like a thunderbolt.
A sound was heard in the quiet house, and there was obviously a moment of panic, then the door opened. The old prince, who was as tall and strong as a black iron tower, was standing at the door in a Taoist robe, looking down at the child who had disturbed his meditation.
"Um?"
Zhu Chengjun smiled with his eyes curved. Facing such a child, no one could be so hard-hearted as to refuse him. The old uncle slowly squatted down and looked at Zhu Chengjun: "You are——"
At this time, Nan Yan stepped forward, saluted him and said, "Uncle."
The old uncle looked up at her, his eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "It's the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan said, "Uncle, he is the emperor's youngest son, Zhu Chengjun."
"Cheng Jun..."
Just now, he was banging on the door and shouting, so rude. This time, Zhu Chengjun took a step back and bowed respectfully to the old uncle: "Greetings, Grandpa Uncle!"
His voice was crisp and tender, and it made my heart feel sweet when I heard it.
The old uncle couldn't help but smile.
"It turns out to be His Royal Highness the King of Han."
He reached out and patted Cheng Jun's shoulder, then looked at Nan Yan. Nan Yan immediately said, "Actually, I should have brought him here to pay his respects to my uncle yesterday. However, my uncle had just arrived in Handongwei and must have been very tired, so it would be difficult to disturb him. Moreover, my uncle needed quiet time for his cultivation, so the emperor didn't allow me to bring him here. But I thought, as a junior, how can I not come and pay my respects to my elders? Cheng Jun also wanted to get closer to my uncle, so I brought him here today."
Having said that, who can refuse?
What's more, when Zhu Chengjun saw the old uncle, he smiled with his small white teeth showing, as sweet as malt candy. The old uncle was not a heartless person, not to mention that he came to Handongwei this time with a little selfishness. Once a person has selfishness, his heart can never be as strong as a fortress.
That's why his door was immediately opened by Xiao Chengjun.
And his heart seemed to open up as well.
So, he reached out and held Zhu Chengjun's hand: "Okay, come and get close to your uncle."
Then he invited them into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, as Xiao Shunzi had reported before, the rather spacious wing room only had a bed against the wall, a table and a chair next to the bed. The whole house seemed extremely empty. Even Xiao Chengjun was startled when he walked in. He looked up at the old uncle and said, "Uncle, why is there nothing in your room?"
The old uncle smiled and said, "Uncle, you don't need so many complicated things to practice."
Zhu Chengjun blinked: "But, there's not even a place to sit."
The old uncle took a look and saw that there was only one chair. He couldn't let the imperial concubine sit on his bed. Even if he was a cultivator, this taboo still had to be observed.
So, the old uncle patted little Chengjun on the head, asked him to wait a moment, and then walked out.
Xiao Shunzi and the others had been waiting outside for a long time. When they saw him leave, they immediately came to greet him and asked, "What do you want, old uncle?"
The old uncle said politely, "Please help me move two chairs over."
Xiao Shunzi's eyes lit up.
He quickly replied, "Yes!"
Looking at Nan Yan who was standing at the door with a smug look on her face, he sighed in his heart, "It's amazing!", then turned around and went downstairs to move the chair.
