Chapter 321 How can I let you leave?
This time, even He Yi was stunned.
Zhu Feng simply didn't know whether he should be amused or angry. A group of people came to persuade him not to allow Si Nanyan to live in his palace, but as soon as he agreed to send her back to the palace, Ye Zheng said no.
He slowly leaned back in his chair and sneered, "What? Do you think I'm easy to manipulate?"
Ye Zheng and He Yi both knelt down: "We dare not."
Ye Zheng continued, "I say this because I'm worried that the female officials might be infected with the disease."
Zhu Feng frowned.
"What did you say?"
Ye Zheng said, "The Emperor ordered me and Ying Shao to investigate the perpetrator of the evil spell in the palace. I am incompetent and have yet to find the perpetrator. Therefore, the Ye Ting—and even the harem—are not completely safe now."
“…”
"As for the female official, she has been suffering from old illnesses and new injuries, and her body is already extremely weak."
“…”
"I have heard from Doctor Chen that the human body contains vital energy, which is like a wall in relation to injuries. If the vital energy is not damaged, the wall is strong and cannot be invaded by injuries. But now, the female official is so weak. If she enters the palace again, what if——"
He didn't dare to say the rest.
Zhu Feng's expression also became even gloomier.
He forgot this.
Indeed, she was so sick and weak, and had just been to the gates of hell. If she really caught some disease again, it would probably be difficult to cure.
But in this case, how would he place her?
Thinking of this, Zhu Feng's brows suddenly twisted into a knot.
Ye Zheng and He Yi looked at each other carefully, then looked up at him, only to see Zhu Feng's face was gloomy. He didn't know what he remembered at this moment, and his hands on the table clenched into fists.
Neither of them dared to speak anymore.
After an unknown amount of time, they heard Zhu Feng let out a long sigh. When they looked up again, they saw that his hand had loosened slightly, but the blue veins on the back of his hand were still bulging.
He said, "Okay, I know what to do."
“…”
"Ye Zheng, go and tell me the message."

Nan Yan curled up at the head of the bed, watching the sunlight outside the window slowly move from east to west as the sky darkened.
She didn't go anywhere all day.
Of course, they were afraid of Zhu Feng’s threats. What if they didn’t obey and he really put those palace maids in jail again?
Besides, she was too embarrassed to go out.
Now, there are countless people gossiping about her outside, and the concubines in the harem—
She simply couldn't bear to think about it.
Although she had been working beside Zhu Feng as a court lady in the Imperial Court these days, she had never felt as deeply as she did now the meaning of the saying, "To serve the emperor is like serving a tiger."
Just as she was hugging her knees in a daze, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Of course, there is no one else who would come in without saying hello.
Nan Yan trembled, raised her head, and saw Zhu Feng walking in from outside.
He still carried the cold air from outside, and as soon as he approached her, Nan Yan subconsciously shivered from the cold.
Zhu Feng frowned: "Are you cold?"
The heater in the hall was already burning very hot. He walked in from the windy area and started sweating in just a short while. However, he also remembered that Nan Yan was still injured, so it was normal for her to feel cold in winter.
He subconsciously grabbed her hand.
The pale, slender little hand in his palm really looked like a piece of ice.
Feeling that her fingertips were also cold, Zhu Feng frowned.
"How can I let you leave without worrying about you being like this?"
