Chapter 628: That’s the only thing on my mind
Nan Yan became nervous when she heard this.
Zhu Feng's expression also became very serious, and he reached out to take the simple secret letter handed to him by the servant.
When he opened it, his brows furrowed slightly.
Nan Yan subconsciously asked, "What happened to them?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then slowly folded the letter back and said, "The spies reported that the Neng people approached the shore once but did not land."
“…”
"Instead, it supplemented a lot of food."
"What?"
Nan Yan frowned in surprise.
In fact, this news did not have any substantial meaning. There was not even a word about her grandmother. After hearing it, she just felt confused.
There is nothing worth reporting about this kind of thing.
It would be better to find out what the people on the ship are doing.
However, Zhu Feng didn't seem to think so. His face was serious, and he looked at the shimmering river surface under the setting sun, lost in thought.
At this time, Ye Zheng stepped forward and said softly, "It seems that the emperor's concerns are right."
Nan Yan turned her head and looked at him: "What do you mean?"
Ye Zheng looked at Zhu Feng and saw him pinching the bridge of his nose, as if trying to focus more. He said, "Before these people from the Neng Kingdom came, or rather, before they boarded the ship, they should have prepared everything before they took action and kidnapped your grandmother."
Nan Yan nodded: "Yeah."
Of course.
After all, she had been canonized as a noble concubine and had a distinguished status. Since her grandmother had been kidnapped, the imperial court would definitely send people to track her down.
Therefore, before they take action, they must plan everything and try to minimize the time they spend on the way.
However, they stopped at the shore to replenish food.
Why didn’t you bring enough before?
It's only been a few days.
Zhu Feng said solemnly, "This proves that the current route is not the one they had planned."
“…”
"Their original route was to cross the river, disembark, and then travel by land."
“…”
"But now, they should take the water route."
“…”
"It looks like there's still a long way to go."
Nan Yan frowned, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She whispered, "Yes, what happened?"
Zhu Feng looked down at her.
After staring at each other for a long time, he slowly said, "Maybe it was influenced by your grandmother."
"grandmother?"
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise and immediately said, "Could it be that they threatened Grandma to show them the way?"
“…”
"Pointing to what?"
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Right now, I can't be sure."
“…”
"But I guess so."
"Will they harm my grandmother?"
This is what Nan Yan is most worried about now.
Seeing her worried look, Zhu Feng said seriously, "If they really followed your grandmother's instructions along the way, then they would be even more afraid."
“…”
"Not only do I not dare, I'm afraid I'll have to provide her with good food and drink."
“…”
"This way, you can rest assured."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan felt a little relieved.
Thinking back to Arslan's words and actions when he came to the Si family, although he didn't like this person, to be fair, he should not be a despicable person who would hurt innocent old people.
Looking at the two of them, Ye Zheng, who was standing beside them, made a relieved expression.
He raised his eyebrows at Ran Xiaoyu.
Ran Xiaoyu snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at him.
Ye Zheng shrugged his shoulders, while Zhu Feng turned his head and looked at the river ahead, muttering, "Now I just don't know where they will go."
Hearing what he said, Ye Zheng took a step forward.
He said softly, "Your Majesty, last night, I asked the boatman and others who are familiar with this area."
Zhu Feng looked at him: "How?"
"They said that the water transportation in this area is very developed."
“…”
“As you go up the river, different tributaries converge and even lead to different waters.”
“…”
"so--"
Zhu Feng frowned and muttered, "If they don't intend to go directly north along the Grand Canal, they might take any tributary or enter any body of water."
"right."
“…”
"This way, we can't go too fast."
“…”
"Because they might turn around and we'd be over the top before the news reaches me."
Zhu Feng nodded: "Send the order and ask them to control the speed."
"yes."
Ye Zheng went down immediately.
Nan Yan gradually felt that this matter was really not simple.
It wasn't just the Dian people who kidnapped my grandmother.
It is even difficult to say what the grandmother has experienced and where she is leading them.
I don’t know what awaits them next.
After standing on the deck for a while, the sun gradually set.
The blood-red sunlight shone on the surface of the river, reflecting a dazzling ripple of light that was almost blinding. Nan Yan was so blinded by the light that she could hardly open her eyes.
And the wind was much stronger than before.
The boat began to shake noticeably. Zhu Feng stood there for a while, his expression gradually becoming grim, and he grabbed the fence tightly with both hands.
Seeing him like this, Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please go back to the cabin and rest."
“…”
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
No words, just nodded.
Nan Yan supported him and slowly walked back to the cabin.
A servant came in and brought him hot water for him to wash up and change into a more comfortable gown. Then Zhu Feng lay back down on the bed.
Look, everything has been sorted out.
Nan Yan said softly, "I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he turned and left.
But just as she turned around, a hand with scorching heat reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
When she turned around, she saw Zhu Feng with his eyes lowered, not looking at her.
But his hand was tightly holding her wrist.
…
Both of them were silent.
After a long time, Nan Yan still didn't move, but Zhu Feng seemed a little angry. He pulled her onto the bed and hugged her tightly.
Nan Yan was startled when she felt the heat in his chest.
She is not mentally prepared for this yet.
Although she knew how energetic he was, the two of them had not slept together since the misunderstanding that night.
He didn't seem to have looked for anyone else.
but--
She was held tightly by his iron-like hands, and his hot breath blew across her neck, giving her goosebumps.
Nan Yan trembled and whispered, "Your Majesty..."
“…”
"Grandmother hasn't been found yet, I don't want to—"
Hearing her words, Zhu Feng's breath sank.
He pushed her down, leaned over and glared at her, saying harshly, "Do you think that's all I have on my mind?!"
