Chapter 3424 Anger Attacks the Heart
Nan Yan was chatting and laughing with Concubine Yi when she suddenly heard a noise coming from not far away. She turned around and saw a group of people gathered under the pine tree over there.
What's wrong?
Just when she was wondering, she suddenly realized that she could no longer see her daughter.
She said, "Where's Xinping?"
At this moment, one of the Jinyiwei who had followed came over quickly and whispered a few words in Zhu Feng's ear. When Zhu Feng heard it, he immediately stood up and ran over there.
"Emperor!"
Nan Yan didn't know what was going on. She looked at Concubine Yi and hurriedly followed.
When they parted the crowd, they saw Xinping collapsed on the ground. Her face was as pale as paper, and there seemed to be traces of tears in the corners of her eyes. The young monk Mingxin half-knelt beside her, shaking her arm anxiously, and whispered, "Wake up, wake up quickly."
"What's going on?"
Hearing the voice behind him, he turned around and saw that it was Zhu Feng. He immediately said, "She, she fainted."
Zhu Feng frowned and squatted down. He picked up his daughter and held her in his arms, saying softly, "Xinping, Xinping, wake up."
Xiao Xinping was completely unconscious.
At this time, people had already gathered around, pointing and talking at them, not knowing what was going on. Nan Yan and Concubine Yi pushed through the crowd to take a look and were immediately shocked. Nan Yan quickly squatted down and reached out to grab Xin Ping's hand: "What's going on? What happened to her?"
Zhu Feng frowned and turned to look at Ming Xin: "What just happened?"
Mingxin was also panicking and said, "I don't know either. Just now, the princess was picking up pine cones here. Suddenly, she stopped moving for some reason. When I looked at her again, she had fainted."
Zhu Feng frowned and looked around, but there was no trace of the assassin.
And Xinping was obviously not injured and fainted.
He immediately lifted his daughter up and held her in his arms, then stood up and said, "Return to the palace!"
At this moment, Fang Buyuan and the others did not care about anything else and immediately surrounded the emperor to make way. The people around him only came to their senses at this time. The wealthy man in front of them, who looked either rich or noble, and the two beautiful wives and concubines beside him, seemed to have extraordinary identities, but -
Everyone laughed and knelt down in fear.
Zhu Feng ignored them completely and quickly walked down the mountain with his daughter in his arms.
Nan Yan was also very confused at this time, and she got on Zhu Feng's golden carriage directly. Concubine Yi couldn't follow her, so she could only take Mingxin and Yongping on their carriage. The group hurriedly left Xishan and returned to the palace.
No one expected that a good incognito trip would end like this.
When the Emperor strode back to the Yiku Palace holding the unconscious Princess Xinping, the palace maids and eunuchs serving around were all stunned with fear and dared not breathe. As soon as Nan Yan returned to the palace, she immediately called the imperial physician to take the princess's pulse.
The two people stood by the bed, staring at Xinping's pale face.
After a long while, the imperial physician finally let go of his hand.
"how?"
Nan Yan couldn't wait to ask, "How is she? Is she injured or poisoned?"
The imperial physician said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is not injured, and judging by her symptoms, she is not poisoned."
"Not injured, not poisoned?"
Nan Yan became anxious when she heard this: "Then why did she faint? Why did she faint when she was perfectly fine?"
Zhu Feng reached out and pressed her shoulders, saying in a deep voice, "Don't be anxious."
After saying that, he looked at the imperial physician and said, "Tell me clearly, why is the princess unconscious?"
The imperial physician said softly, "From my humble opinion, the princess's pulse is showing signs of anger."
"What?!"
This time, even Zhu Feng frowned.
How could Xin Ping be so worried? Besides, they were out incognito today, clearly having a great time at the top of Xishan Mountain. How could she have been so "angry" and fainted over a single mistake?
He said in a deep voice: "Are you telling the truth?"
The imperial physician said bitterly, "How dare this humble official deceive the emperor?"
Nan Yan frowned and murmured, "As long as she's not injured or poisoned, it's fine. No matter what, let her wake up first. It won't be too late to ask her clearly after she wakes up."
The imperial physician said, "Yes, I will have someone prepare the medicine right away."
Zhu Feng asked, "Can I just take some medicine?"
The imperial physician said, "I will first administer a dose of medicine. If it can clear the princess's consciousness, that would be best. If the decoction is ineffective, I will then try acupuncture and moxibustion."
Zhu Feng nodded: "Go quickly."
The imperial physician immediately prepared a prescription with the accompanying eunuch, adding or subtracting a couple of strong herbs before going down to prepare the medicine. Zhu Feng slowly walked to a chair nearby and sat down, his brow furrowed. Nan Yan anxiously sat by the bed, looking at her daughter's pale face, the tears still etched in the corners of her eyes. She couldn't help but choke back a sob and said, "What's going on? She's fine, why is she so angry?"
Zhu Feng suddenly asked, "Did anyone tell her anything today?"
Nan Yan said, "She came over early in the morning to dine with us, so why would anyone say anything? Concubine Yi and I were watching them all the way, and there was nothing unusual."
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Come here, go get Ming Xin."
Xiao Shunzi took the order and sent someone there immediately.
After a while, the young monk Mingxin was brought in by a young eunuch. He walked carefully into the Yikun Palace, took a look at Xinping lying unconscious on the bed, and immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng said with a serious face, "Just now on the mountain, when you followed Xinping to play nearby, what did you say to her?"
Mingxin immediately said, "I don't have any."
"No?"
Nan Yan, who was standing by, became anxious and walked over to ask, "Then why did she faint for no reason?"
Mingxin lowered his head and dared not speak.
Zhu Fengwei squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while, then suddenly asked, "Since you didn't say anything to her, did anyone else say anything when you were over there?"
Mingxin's thin shoulders suddenly twitched.
Zhu Feng's brows immediately furrowed.
He said in a deep voice, "If you don't answer my questions honestly, you're deceiving the emperor. Do you know what the consequences of deceiving the emperor are?"
Mingxin's little face gradually turned pale as paper, and beads of cold sweat dripped from her head.
Nan Yan immediately sensed something. She walked over to Ming Xin, looked down at him, and said seriously, "What did you hear? Tell me!"
“…”
Mingxin hesitated for a long time, and finally raised his head to look at Zhu Feng, and said softly: "Her Royal Highness—Her Royal Highness, she fainted after hearing what others said about what happened in Longkou Valley."
Longkou Valley!
Upon hearing these three words, Zhu Feng's face suddenly darkened.
