Chapter 1244: Message
Ye Zheng stood at the door and couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.
"Oh, my eyes are going blind."
As soon as he finished speaking, his foot was stepped on hard.
“Ouch!”
He cried out in pain and turned to see Ran Xiaoyu. Because Nan Yan was pregnant, many of the incense sticks she had used before could no longer be used. She packed up a box and prepared to put it away while she found new incense sticks.
"Stop getting in the way here."
Ye Zheng was originally grimacing in pain, but as soon as he saw her, he immediately put on a playful smile.
"Oh, this box must be very heavy. Come, let me help you carry it."
"Don't I have hands?"
"I'm afraid you're tired."
"Who are you to me? What does it have to do with you whether I'm tired or not?"
Ran Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him, but Ye Zheng seemed to have gotten used to it these days. He still laughed and wanted to follow her. However, he had just taken two steps when Zhu Feng's voice came from Yikun Palace again.
"Ye Zheng."
He had no choice but to stop and watch Ran Xiaoyu walk away, then turned back aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Zhu Feng looked up at him and said, "Send someone to Zhujian Academy to inform them. I will give them three more days to consider and let Jian Ruocheng think it over."
"Yes. I will be there right away."
"You don't have to go."
"That--"
Ye Zheng was also a little confused. He was asked to give the order, but was not allowed to go to Zhujian Academy. Who should he ask to go?
A gleam of light flashed in Zhu Feng's eyes.
He coughed lightly, stood up and walked to the door. Ye Zheng hurried over and Zhu Feng whispered a few words in his ear.
“…”
Nan Yan was still sitting on the couch, looking at the two of them. She saw that after Ye Zheng heard what Zhu Feng said, he was stunned for a moment and looked at her with complicated eyes. She was also a little confused in her heart - what happened?
Then Ye Zheng said, "Your Majesty, let him go?"
"Well," Zhu Feng said, "tell him clearly that the imperial concubine is pregnant, so the ceremony will be postponed for three days. Also have him explain this to the people at the academy."
"……yes."
Nan Yan looked at Ye Zheng and a bitter smile flashed across his face, then he turned and left.
When Zhu Feng walked back to her side, Nan Yan asked, "Your Majesty, what did you say to Ye Zheng?"
"nothing."
Zhu Feng reached out and smoothed her hair: "Are you still hot? Do you want to rest for a while?"
"No need. Your Majesty thinks I am too weak."
"snort."

The news spread quickly.
In just one day, everyone in the imperial court and the harem knew that the imperial concubine was pregnant, and for her sake, the emperor postponed the date of the grand ceremony to open the Da Ci'en Temple for three days.
Naturally, everyone has their own thoughts.
At Zhujian Academy, the atmosphere was still very heavy because it was the last day of the previous agreement.
Jian Ruocheng sat by the window.
The doors and windows of his Heguang room were tightly closed. He could feel the bright sunshine outside, but a heavy air of death hung in this quiet abode.
He sat by the window without saying a word.
At this moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the door.
Jian Ruocheng frowned slightly.
These days, the academy has been closed and students cannot leave, but they are still very orderly and attend classes and rest as usual. Although some people are worried about what decision I will make, they just peek outside the Heguang room and do not disturb me.
And these footsteps—
Jian Ruocheng seemed to have heard something, and at this moment, the footsteps stopped at the door.
A deep voice sounded: "Master."
“…”
really.
The voice is familiar.
Jian Ruocheng asked, "What's the matter?"
"I am here to deliver the Emperor's message."
Jian Ruocheng slowly stood up and walked over, opening the door. When the sunlight came in, he also saw the pair of eyes that were facing away from the light and looked particularly gloomy, like a wolf.
Li was not hurt.
Jian Ruocheng looked at this young man who was obviously different from the skinny and helpless boy back then. He seemed like a different person, but his gaze, or rather, what his gaze was chasing, remained unchanged.
Jian Ruocheng asked, "The emperor asked you to come and ask me for my answer?"
"no."
"No? Then what does he want?"
"His Majesty the Emperor has decreed that the grand ceremony opening the Great Ci'en Temple will be postponed for three days. Master, you, your academy, and the students within it have three days to consider this."
“……!”
Jian Ruocheng was startled.
After all, he had been the Right Prime Minister of the Secretariat for so long, and he knew Zhu Feng's personality very well. He was a man of his word. Moreover, the opening of the Da Ci'en Temple was of great significance to him, so why would it be suddenly postponed, and for three days?
He frowned and said, "Why is this happening?"
When asking this question, Jian Ruocheng clearly saw a needle-like thorn in those wolf-like eyes.
Li Bushang's tall body was actually shaking a little at this moment.
An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness welled up in Jian Ruocheng's heart.
He said, "What happened?"
Li Bushang looked at him and was silent for a long time before he said solemnly, "Because the imperial concubine is pregnant."
"What?!"
Jian Ruocheng could hardly believe his ears. He stared at Li Bushang with wide eyes: "What did you say? Say it again!"
"The Concubine is pregnant."
Li Bushang spoke word by word, almost bursting out from between his teeth, and each word was like a nail, deeply driven into Jian Ruocheng's heart.
He suddenly felt suffocated.
For a moment, both of them fell silent.
They stood facing each other at the door. They were obviously two completely different people, one practiced martial arts, the other studied literature. One exuded the bloodthirsty and gloomy aura of a lone wolf, the other exuded the gentle and jade-like aura of a gentleman. But at this moment, they were suffering the same pain.
It turns out that some moods are really the same.
“…”
Jian Ruocheng was silent for a long time, and a smile appeared on his pale face. He thought for a moment and said, "It was His Majesty the Emperor who asked you to tell me, right?"
Li Bushang glanced at him and agreed.
Jian Ruocheng's smile deepened.
It's also a little more bitter.
I know clearly that this is already the fact and cannot be changed, but when I hear the news, my heart still aches.
Li Bu Shang looked at him in silence for a long moment, then said in a deep voice, "The message has been delivered. You have three days to consider it. I should leave now."
After saying that, he turned and was about to leave.
"Wait a moment,"
Jian Ruocheng called him, Li Bushang frowned slightly, stopped, and looked back at him.
He took a deep breath and said, "It won't take three days. I'll give you an answer now."
