Chapter 1944: Isn’t it the concubine’s fault?
Zhu Feng said: "Also, send someone back overnight to tell the imperial concubine. Just say -"
Having said this, he paused.
Ye Zheng and Xue Yun couldn't help but hold their breath and looked at him.
Zhu Feng looked down at his arm, which was wrapped in thick gauze, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Just tell her that my talks with the Parthian envoy weren't going very smoothly, and I'll have to stay for another day or two."
Ye Zheng immediately said, "Aren't you going to tell the truth to Her Majesty?"
Zhu Feng shook his head: "Don't say it, don't say a single word."
"But in this case, will the queen have wild thoughts?"
"Send someone smart enough to tell her the truth. Don't say a word about my assassination. She must not know."
Ye Zheng said, "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be concealed."
"Why can't you hide it?"
"Early tomorrow morning, Ying Shao will send someone to escort Quincy and his men back. The Empress will definitely know about this. She's not stupid. If she thinks about it, she'll know that the Emperor has been assassinated."
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Then don't escort him back to Shazhouwei."
"Why?"
"Send him directly to the capital."
Ye Zheng opened his eyes wide: "This, this is against the rules."
Zhu Feng glared at him: "I am the rule!"
“…”
Ye Zheng suddenly didn't know what to say.
According to government regulations, the bandits caught by Shazhou Wei will indeed be taken back to the capital and handed over to the Ministry of Justice for punishment, but a case must be kept here first so that it can be filed in the future.
This is also the rule set by Zhu Feng after he ascended the throne.
But now, this gentleman wants to change, who can say anything?
Ye Zheng couldn't help but snort in his heart - he glared at him because of what he said during the day, but what happened in the end?
It’s all because of the favorite concubine!
But as a "honest minister", Ye Zheng still had to do his best.
So he asked carefully, "But the Emperor is clearly trying to fool the Empress by doing this. If we go later, she'll still find out. Then, won't she still be worried and angry?"
Zhu Feng glared at him again.
Then he said, "You're the only one who knows?"
“…”
"When I return and see that I'm unharmed, her worry and anger will be limited. But now, if I don't go, and she finds out that I was assassinated here and that the house was burned down, how can she not be worried and angry?"
“…”
"What if she takes it upon herself to come over again?"
At this point, he sighed and said, "She's pregnant. This time she followed me to the northwest, she's been worried the whole time. She's been vomiting a lot lately. I can't let her worry like this anymore."
“…”
"Anyway, keep it a secret from her until you go back."
Hearing what he said, it makes sense.
Ye Zheng said, "Then I will go down and make arrangements right away."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out again, but this time when he turned around, he carefully glanced at Xue Yun who had been standing next to Zhu Feng.
Somehow, this "Mr. Xue" looked a little pale.
It was obviously not like this when he first came in. When he first came in, he saw that Xue Yun's face seemed to be a little red, but now, his expression seemed a little confused.
It seemed like he had suffered a great blow.
Ye Zheng said nothing, turned around and walked out.
After he left, Zhu Feng turned around and looked at Xue Yun, saying, "What did you want to say to me just now?"
“…”
Xue Yun raised his somewhat dazed eyes and looked at him.
Those pure eyes seemed to be about to cry.
That look made Zhu Feng's heart sink.
