Chapter 1872: No kidding!
"Greetings, Emperor—"
Before Xue Ling could finish his words, he felt a gust of wind passing by him.
Zhu Feng didn't even pause before walking straight into Nan Yan's room. Xue Ling opened her eyes wide in shock, but there was no one in front of her.
Zhu Feng's anxious voice was heard from the room.
"Nan Yan, how are you?"
Xue Ling turned around with a complicated expression and saw Zhu Feng had already walked to the bedside. Seeing Nan Yan leaning against the bed, her face still a little pale, he hurriedly sat down and stroked her shoulder with one hand: "I have heard about it. Are you hurt?"
Nan Yan raised her head calmly and smiled at him: "Your Majesty, do you think I'm hurt?"
“…”
"The imperial guards are all here, who can hurt me?"
Zhu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, Nan Yan's face darkened. She looked at him and said with resentment, "Speaking of this, I'd like to ask the Emperor."
“…”
"The imperial guards are all here with me. How many people did the emperor take with him when he went to supervise the battle?"
Knowing that she was safe, Zhu Feng had already breathed a sigh of relief.
Who cares about anything else.
Seeing her asking like this, he just smiled and said, "I have nothing to do."
"emperor!"
Nan Yan reached out and knocked the hand that was touching her shoulder away. With a hint of anger on her face, she said angrily, "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. He is entrusted with the mission of heaven and the well-being of the people. How can you be so careless about me? And how can you put yourself in such a dangerous situation?"
“…”
"Isn't the lesson from last time enough?"
“…”
"What if the Emperor is really injured tonight, or something unexpected happens—"
When she said this, she shuddered and couldn't continue.
Her eyes turned red when she thought of that possibility.
Gritting her teeth, she said, "What should I do if the emperor wants me?"
“…”
"What should I do with the child in my belly?"
Zhu Feng was originally full of confidence about what happened last night and the battle, but seeing her so aggrieved and angry, he couldn't help but feel a little short of breath.
Indeed, if he hadn't calculated correctly last night.
If those bandits' other target was me—
The few personal soldiers around him really couldn't stop anything.
But these things no longer happened. Facts proved that his judgment was correct. The few personal soldiers around him were not used at all. Ying Shao led the personal soldiers of the imperial camp to catch the sand bandits who planned to attack the Duwei Mansion.
However, the only thing that surprised him was the purpose of those sand bandits.
From the last fight, it can be seen that there is a smart person among those sand bandits. In fact, Xue Ling also told him that there is a military advisor in the Hot Moon Bay. This person is not a sand bandit, nor is he an ordinary person. He suddenly appeared from somewhere else and cooperated with Wu Lun and others.
He was the one who made all the plans for the previous attack on Shazhou Wei, including the plot to injure Ye Zheng, lure the emperor here, and the last battle.
Zhu Feng guessed that during this siege of Hot Moon Bay, the military advisor would not just sit there and guard.
A smart person would definitely take advantage of the weakness in Shazhou Wei's defense to launch a surprise attack.
This is to criticize the arrogant and attack the false.
Therefore, he did not let Ying Shao lead people to attack the route given by Li Lai, but asked him to stay in the Duwei Mansion to protect Nan Yan. No matter what the sand bandits did, Nan Yan could not have any accidents.
But I didn't expect it.
Those people did come, but not to launch a sneak attack.
Their target was actually Nan Yan!
Thinking of this, he wanted to rush to the dungeon and chop into meat paste those bandits who had been tied up and locked up by Ying Shao.
At this time, he still held his breath and reached out to support Nan Yan's shoulders.
She said softly, "Okay, I made you worry this time. It's my fault."
“…”
"I won't do that next time."
Nan Yan looked at him, aggrieved and somewhat helpless, and said, "The Emperor always promises well, but when has he ever really done it?"
Zhu Feng squeezed her hand.
"You are not joking!"
“…”
Nan Yan glared at him again.
In fact, she also knew that no matter what Zhu Feng said, "A king's words are not a joke," once faced with a war, the military blood in his body would burn and boil.
By that time, he would no longer remember the saying "a king's words are not jokes", let alone the promise he made to himself.
She could only sigh.
Hearing his sigh, Zhu Feng knew that he had passed this level. He reached out and gently stroked her cheek and said, "Why do you look so unhappy?"
Nan Yan said: "Nothing."
"Nothing, why do you look so bad?"
"That's right. I was waiting for news from the Emperor last night until just now."
"You didn't sleep all night?!"
"……yes."
"you--"
Zhu Feng was so angry that he wanted to twist her. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Where were you when those bandits rushed in just now?"
"Yes, at the door."
Zhu Feng's face turned pale.
"So you waited until the bandits broke into the Duwei Mansion before returning to this room?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat, and Ran Xiaoyu beside her quickly interrupted, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the queen was not frightened. It was this servant who took her back to her room."
Zhu Feng turned around and looked at her.
"Yeah?"
"Yes. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask Miss Xue. She has been here the whole time."
Zhu Feng then noticed that Xue Ling was still standing at the door.
Ran Xiaoyu immediately turned around and glared at Xue Ling with sharp eyes: "Ms. Xue, please speak."
Xue Ling said with a complicated expression: "Yes, yes."
Zhu Feng then turned around with relief.
Ran Xiaoyu also felt relieved.
Xue Ling stood at the door, one hand on the door frame, watching the emperor's meticulous concern for the imperial concubine, his heart a complicated mess.
Of course she didn't want to be a gossip and talk nonsense.
But the scene just now, when the young man named Li Bushang held the imperial concubine as if she were the most precious treasure in her life, was like a huge stone pressing down on her heart, making her feel a little breathless.
She felt like she couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to turn around and leave, but seeing Zhu Feng coming back, she had been looking forward to this moment all night.
So he bravely and cautiously asked: "Your Majesty, what's the situation in Thermidor Bay? Santing, he—"
Nan Yan was also worried about this.
He quickly grabbed Zhu Feng's hand and asked, "Your Majesty, has Thermidor Bay been taken?"
Zhu Feng said, "Don't worry."
Just two words and Nan Yan understood.
A smile immediately appeared on his face, and even Ran Xiaoyu beside him and Xue Ling at the door started laughing.
“That’s great!”
"That--"
Nan Yan sat up straight and wanted to ask something, but at that moment she was overwhelmed with thoughts and concerns about so many people and things that she didn't even know what to say or what to ask.
Seeing Xue Ling at the door, she asked for her: "How is Ji Santing?"
Xue Ling's heart was in his throat.
