Chapter 3737 Someone wants to murder me?
"emperor?!"
Nan Yan felt a little uneasy and was about to say something, but Zhu Feng had already held her hand and said, "Come here."
Nan Yan was led by him back to the table and sat down.
Zhu Feng held her wrist with one hand and placed the other hand on the table. His back was also straight, like a pine or cypress that could not be blown down by wind and rain. No matter what happened, he would stand firm.
Nan Yan, who was originally feeling a little uneasy, actually calmed down after seeing him like this.
No matter what happened, he was there.
As long as he is here, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Thinking of this, she let out a long sigh, and even her expression relaxed. She just sat quietly beside Zhu Feng, looking at the closed door.
After a while, heavy footsteps came into the restaurant from outside, and immediately a group of people were heard going upstairs, making the stairs clatter. Then, the footsteps went straight to the door of their private room.
Li Quan at the door also saw it, and said in astonishment: "You——"
Then a deep voice was heard: "Is the Emperor in there?"
"Yes, the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine are both inside."
The people outside seemed to gasp, and then they heard the sound of many people kneeling down in unison.
"emperor!"
This voice belongs to Li Bushang!
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, but remained calm and said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open cautiously, and sure enough, Li Bushang was seen standing at the door. Behind him was a large group of Jinyiwei, all of them were dressed neatly, with long swords on their waists, and kneeling on the ground.
Li Bushang walked in and kowtowed to them, saying, "Your humble servant greets the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."
Zhu Feng asked, "Why are you here?"
Li Bushang said, "I have learned that the Emperor and His Majesty have come here incognito, so I have come to protect them."
He lowered his voice and said softly, "This restaurant is crowded with people and eyes, which is always detrimental to the safety of His Majesty and His Majesty. I implore His Majesty and His Majesty to return to the palace."
Zhu Feng paused for a moment and then stood up.
"Let's go."
Nan Yan also stood up immediately and followed him out.
The Jinyiwei outside the door immediately stood up and split into two lines, following the two of them down the stairs. Once they reached the first floor lobby, Zhu Feng stood on the steps and took a look. He saw the shop owner and several waiters kneeling outside the counter, trembling, while the guests at the other tables were also frightened and stood against the wall.
Outside the gate, some people had already seen these gorgeously dressed Jinyiwei coming, and were guessing what had happened here, so they crowded into the gate.
When Zhu Feng led his men out, several Jinyiwei guarding the door were chasing them away.
"Scatter, scatter!"
Everyone stepped back, but didn't leave. They saw the restaurant owner and waiter kowtow repeatedly to the tall, handsome man who came down from the upper floors. They seemed to understand what was going on and asked, "Is it the Emperor? Is that His Majesty?"
All of a sudden, everyone bowed to the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor".
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Long live the emperor!"
Zhu Feng brought Nan Yan to the door. Looking at the people kneeling at his feet, a faint smile appeared on his face. He said, "Don't be afraid. I am traveling incognito today just to see how you are living. I also want to see how the crops in the fields are growing during the Spring Equinox."
Everyone kowtowed and said, "We are all doing well, and the crops are doing well too."
Zhu Feng nodded.
At this time, the carriage had already arrived. Li Bushang immediately stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace as soon as possible. I wonder who is outside."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng looked up.
I saw that the second floor of the tavern opposite was full of people just now, but now, all the people have left.
He pondered for a moment, then took Nan Yan to the carriage. As soon as they were seated, he said, "Let's get going and return to the palace."
The carriage immediately drove towards the palace.
Li Bushang waved his hand, and the Jinyiwei mounted their horses to protect the emperor's carriage. The people on both sides of the road knelt on the ground, watching the carriage disappear at the end of the long street. A few people who had just mixed in with the people looked at each other and immediately dispersed.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Feng asked Nan Yan to go back to Yonghe Palace to rest first, and he went to the imperial study. After sitting down, his face darkened. Looking at Li Bushang standing in front of him, he said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Li Bushang said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Zhu Feng said, "I'm not trying to convict anyone right now. I want to know exactly what happened."
“…”
"Why did you suddenly bring people to Zuixianju? Who asked you to go?"
Li Bushang lowered his head and said, "It's Tao Jianbai."
"Tao Jianbai?"
Zhu Feng frowned and said, "Is that the person you sent to the Earthly Immortal Society?"
"yes."
"He asked you to go to Zuixianju?"
"He sent a beggar to my house to tell me that he wanted me to take people to Zuixianju to protect the emperor. He said that if I didn't go, something terrible would happen."
"What a big deal?"
Li Bushang looked up at him and said carefully, "I suspect he might be referring to the safety of the Emperor... and the Imperial Concubine."
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You mean, someone wants to murder me?"
"I'm afraid, yes."
"Are they from the Earthly Immortal Society?"
"It must be them. Otherwise, Tao Jianbai wouldn't be so anxious to send a beggar to deliver a message to me, and even say something like 'a very big matter'."
“…”
Zhu Feng pondered for a moment, and recalled the somewhat depressing silence he felt in Zuixianju today.
Also, those people who appeared on the second floor of the tavern opposite disappeared shortly after the Jinyiwei people entered Zuixianju.
I think it must be someone from the Earthly Immortal Society.
Zhu Feng snorted lightly, as if sneering, and slowly said, "They are actually plotting against me."
“…”
"It seems that the goal of this Earthly Immortal Association is not just the imperial court."
“…”
"They actually set their sights on me. What do they want to do?"
Li Bushang said in a deep voice, "I will find a way to pass the news to Tao Jianbai about this matter and ask him to investigate it as soon as possible."
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "No need to rush him."
"ah?"
Li Bushang was stunned.
I thought that after what happened today, Zhu Feng would definitely urge them to find out the truth as soon as possible.
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "You all came to pick me up suddenly today. The people from the Earthly Immortal Society will definitely become suspicious. If he makes any further moves at this time, he will be easily discovered."
“…”
"Don't rush him for now."
Upon hearing this, Li Bushang immediately said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Zhu Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip. He glanced at him again and said, "You came very quickly today."
