Chapter 988 Who can ride?
Nan Yan looked at his gentle eyes and nodded gently.
Only then did Jian Ruocheng turn around and walk out.
Before leaving, he whispered, "I'm right next door to you. Call me if you need anything."
"knew."
After saying that, Nan Yan closed the door, and Jian Ruocheng paused at his door for a moment, sighed inexplicably, and then returned to his room next door.
And just as Nan Yan closed the door, she felt a sudden gust of wind behind her.
When I turned around, I saw the familiar tall figure right in front of me.
"No harm."
Nan Yan wasn't even surprised these past two days because she was always around. She just looked at him frowning and staring at her and said softly, "You're too impatient. What if someone finds out?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Bushang grabbed her hand.
"Why are you hurt again?"
What I said...
Nan Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. In recent days, she was indeed scarred, both physically and mentally.
She could only explain it to him once.
Knowing that there had just been a misunderstanding and that he was not seriously injured, Li Bushang's expression eased a little, but his frown remained.
"I don't want to see him touch you."
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then she remembered how Jian Ruocheng had just helped her apply the medicine, and she didn't expect that this had also been seen by Li Bushang.
This child is controlled more strictly than Zhu Feng.
Could it be that, as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he was watching over me on behalf of Zhu Feng?
Nan Yan could only comfort him softly, like comforting a child: "He was just helping me apply the medicine."
Li Bushang frowned: "I just don't want to."
“…”
More like a child.
Nan Yan could only comfort him with soft words for a few times before she finally coaxed him into silence.
Nan Yan smiled bitterly, but couldn't help but think of her daughter Xinping who was still far away in the imperial city.
It had been so many days since Zhu Xuan kidnapped me. I hadn't seen my mother for so many days. Was she sad now? Did she need someone to comfort her?
Seeing her face darken, Li Bushang immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"I miss my daughter."
“…”
I must find a way to get back from here alive and see my daughter.

The next morning.
It was still dark, but lights were already shining everywhere in the royal city.
The emperor, accompanied by the empress and Lady Qin, who failed to be enthroned this time, set out for Prince Ning's fiefdom - Jiaodong.
Accompanying them were Ye Zheng, and the Queen's brothers, General Xu and Xu Shifeng.
Lord Heyi unexpectedly stayed in the capital.
Originally, when we received the news yesterday that the emperor was going to inspect Jiaodong, everyone thought that Heyi would definitely accompany the emperor this time. After all, in the past few days, Heyi was almost always by the emperor's side.
Among those who were seeing him off, everyone looked at him with doubt.
Under these doubtful and even suspicious gazes, He Yi found Ye Zheng and said in a deep voice, "You absolutely cannot let your guard down this time. You must protect the emperor."
"Don't worry."
Looking at him, He Yi was still worried, but when he saw General Xu Shifeng on the other side, he felt a little more at ease.
It’s a pity that I can’t go with him this time.
After all, he is no longer the staff member of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and what he has to guard is not a small Prince of Yan's Mansion, but the entire capital, the entire Peking, and even the entire court.
After all, Prince Wei Zhu Chengxuan is still too young to fully assume the responsibilities of regent, so I have to stay by his side.
So, Heyi walked to Xu Shifeng and raised his hand to salute.
Smiling, he said, "I hope the general will take good care of me on this trip."
Xu Shifeng said calmly: "The Queen has already explained the pros and cons of this matter clearly. Lord Zuo Cheng, please rest assured."
He Yi nodded.
But behind him came the voice of Eunuch Yu: "The Emperor has arrived, and the Empress has arrived."
Everyone immediately knelt down to worship.
It was a rare occasion that Zhu Feng traveled with the Queen, and behind him followed closely that slender figure, Qin Ruolan. However, many people couldn't help but think of the Emperor's previous tours, when he was always accompanied by imperial concubines.
This situation is really sad.
Looking at Qin Ruolan's back, Concubine Kang Wu Wan was even more furious. She gritted her teeth and said, "She can't even earn the title of a concubine, yet she has the nerve to follow the emperor on tours. Isn't she afraid of being laughed at for not knowing her status as a concubine?"
Gao Yurong sneered: "She is like that, so she doesn't need to be afraid of being laughed at."
"That's true. If you're thick-skinned, you won't be afraid of being laughed at."
Their voices were neither too loud nor too low, just reaching Qin Ruolan's ears.
Her face was a little pale, but she could only pretend not to hear.
When I looked up, I saw Zhu Feng’s tall figure walking in front of me.
For him, she could endure anything. At this point, there was nothing she couldn't endure.
Only one thing——
She couldn't be separated from him anymore, couldn't bear to see him go back to someone else.
Even Si Nanyan.
So on this trip, no matter how many people mocked him behind his back, he would just turn a blind eye. She could endure all this pain.
"As long as you don't leave me again..."
Zhu Feng had just walked to the golden carriage and was about to get in when he seemed to hear something and turned around to look at her: "What are you talking about?"
"No, nothing."
Qin Ruolan shook his head to conceal his mistake.
Zhu Feng looked at her again, but because he had his own thoughts, he didn't ask any more questions and just turned around and got into the car.
Just as Qin Ruolan was about to get in the car, Zhu Feng said, "I have arranged another car for you."
"ah?"
Qin Ruolan hesitated for a moment.
Sure enough, the young eunuch Xiao Shunzi came forward, bowed respectfully to her, and said, "Madam Qin, your carriage is over there."
Qin Ruolan turned around and looked at Zhu Feng.
I originally thought that since he was so close to her these days, he would definitely ride in the same car with him, but I didn't expect that he had no such plans.
Seeing this, Wu Wan and the others standing on the steps to see him off immediately sneered, "Do you understand the rules of the palace? Can just anyone ride on the emperor's trip?"
Qin Ruolan's face turned red and white.
Indeed, the emperor’s travels were not casual and anyone could ride on his horse, but Si Nanyan had always ridden with Zhu Feng on his previous trips.
Why can't I do it?
Is it that he still remembers Si Nanyan, or...
Zhu Feng had already sat in the carriage. He turned around and saw her standing below with a dazed look on her face. After a moment of silence, he said, "I want to be alone and think about things."
Qin Ruolan could only lower her head and said softly, "I understand."
After saying that, she followed Xiao Shunzi to her carriage.
Soon, the emperor's carriage left the palace in a grand manner.
The sky in the distance is gloomy.
