Chapter 2882: Prince Wei is enthroned as Crown Prince
"The leader among them is called Long Tingyun."
"What!?"
Zhu Feng and Nan Yan were genuinely shocked, some unable to believe it. Zhu Chengxuan said calmly, "I heard that ever since your father visited Shazhou Guard, he has been searching for this man. After discovering his identity, I immediately had him tied up and rushed back to the capital."
"Where is this person?"
"Now, he has been taken to prison and can be tried at any time."
Zhu Feng and Nan Yan were both a little surprised.
You know, when Long Tingyun was in Shazhouwei, he instigated the bandits of Reyuewan to oppose the imperial court, which really gave them a headache; moreover, after leaving Shazhouwei, his whereabouts have been uncertain, and the people who were chasing him even went to the south, but still failed to catch him.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Chengxuan actually caught him!
Nan Yan looked at the child with some surprise - as expected, the child had made great progress after a little experience. Even on the way of "escape", he did not forget his duties and was able to pay attention to capturing the people from the Earth Immortal Society.
Nan Yan said: "Your Highness has done very well."
Hearing her praising him like that, Zhu Chengxuan lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.
Zhu Feng, on the other hand, looked at his son with a serious expression, neither praising him nor making any comments. He looked like he was deep in thought about something.
After a long time, he said in a complicated tone: "You have really grown up."
This sentence should also be a compliment.
But when Nan Yan listened, it seemed that there was a little more meaning than just ordinary praise. Zhu Chengxuan seemed to have heard it all. He looked up at Zhu Feng, but his experience was still not enough to dig out Zhu Feng's thoughts from his deep eyes. He could only lower his head.
"Thank you, Father."
Zhu Feng said, "Alright, I heard you've been traveling day and night to get back. Go back to Chengqian Palace and get some rest. After the Imperial Noble Consort's funeral is over, she will be buried in the imperial mausoleum tomorrow. She had no children, so you will be the one to escort her body. She also took care of you when you were a child, so this is your filial piety."
Zhu Chengxuan hurriedly said, "Your son obeys your order."
After saying this, he bowed and left the imperial study.
After watching him walk out and close the door, Nan Yan lowered her head to look at Zhu Feng and said softly, "Your Majesty, I think you can rest assured this time."
Zhu Feng said: "Hmm?"
"The King of Wei has truly grown up."
“…”
"In the past, people said that hair could turn white overnight, and I believed it, but when it comes to people growing up overnight, I never believed it. But this time, I really believe it."
“…”
"After this incident, the King of Wei has truly matured a lot."
Zhu Feng also nodded slightly.
But he immediately added, "He still has a long way to go."
“…”
"The current situation is not enough for me to take over this country—"
Having said this, he paused.
Nan Yan also glanced at him.
Although Zhu Feng had already appointed the King of Wei as the Jingzhao Yin, judging from the precedent of "Prince Yin Jing", the position of the King of Wei as the crown prince had taken shape. However, Zhu Feng had not made up his mind. Zhu Chengxuan was only one step away from the position of crown prince, but it was an insurmountable step.
This was the first time Zhu Feng brought up this matter. It seemed that he was really considering this issue.
Of course, we cannot ignore it.
This time he was assassinated and seriously injured and fell into a coma. If that unforeseen event really happened, who else could the empire be handed over to if not Zhu Chengxuan?
What's more, Xinqing has passed away now.
Almost all the people in the Prince of Yan's residence are gone...
Zhu Feng couldn't help but care about this son.
The two of them were lost in thought. After a while, Nan Yan looked up and saw Zhu Feng frowning slightly. She reached out and rubbed the wrinkles between his brows and said, "Your Majesty should be resting well now. Why is he so worried?"
“…”
"Look, wrinkles are coming out."
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng couldn't help but chuckle twice and said, "I'm already this old, I should have wrinkles a long time ago."
Nan Yan glared at him: "You make me sound so old!"
Zhu Feng laughed and said, "Didn't you complain to me about your spots before?"
Nan Yan couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.
Before, after giving birth to Cheng Jun, she did have some spots on her face. She had wanted to take good care of them. After asking around, she heard that eating pearl powder can remove spots, nourish the skin, moisturize the skin, and make women stay young forever. Nan Yan was a little interested in this, but unfortunately, not long after that, she followed Zhu Feng to the northwest to tour Handongwei, and the matter was forgotten.
After returning, there was the Earthly Immortals Conference and the army of the Neng Kingdom was approaching.
A while ago, when Zhu Feng was in a coma, she sometimes didn't even bother to wash her face every day when she got up. If Ruoshui and the others hadn't remembered to remind her, she would have gone out to do things with a disheveled appearance.
It can be seen that those who have time to do this kind of thing are all idle people.
So he hurriedly asked, "Do I still have many spots?"
Seeing her nervous look, Zhu Feng studied her for a while and said with a smile, "Well, it seems like quite a lot."
Nan Yan frowned immediately.
I secretly made up my mind that I must ask someone to get me a few cans of pearl powder when I get back.
Zhu Feng added, "By the way, go find me something sweet to eat. I don't know how much coptis root Wang Baizhi put in that medicine just now, but it still tastes bitter in my mouth."
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "How come the emperor is worse than Xin Ping and the others now? They are not afraid of hardship."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the cabinet next to him.
She was very familiar with the furnishings in the imperial study and immediately found the cups and plates. As before, she added chrysanthemum and rock sugar to the tea, but this time, she added two more pieces of rock sugar and handed it to Zhu Feng.
He drank it all in one gulp.
Then he sighed: "Hmm..."
Nan Yan took the cup and put it aside, then took the document from his hand and said, "You've been reading for so long, it's time to take a break."
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng didn't want to insist.
Indeed, after reading memorials for most of the day, his eyes were a little blurry.
Then he leaned back on the couch and asked Nan Yan to sit in front of the lower level man, saying, "Then you sit down too. I want to say a few words to you."
"Um?"
Nan Yan then sat down in front of him and said, "What does Your Majesty want to say to me?"
Although he said he had something to say to Nan Yan, when Nan Yan actually sat down to face him, Zhu Feng hesitated again. The joking expression on his face gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression.
Nan Yan looked at him.
Zhu Feng thought about it, and finally said, "I want to enthrone the King of Wei as the Crown Prince. What do you think?"
