Chapter 1185 Bamboo Academy
Nan Yan said, "So, it's the students from these academies who are causing trouble?"
Zhu Feng said, "Yes, but there is a college that is taking the lead."
"What academy?"
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment before he looked into Nan Yan's eyes and said with a complicated expression, "Bamboo Academy."
"Bamboo House—Academy?"
Nan Yan frowned slightly and repeated these words, her expression gradually becoming solemn.
There was a brief but strange silence between the two people.
After a long while, Zhu Feng said, "Okay, don't think too much. I will naturally deal with these things after I get there. By the way, do you have anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."
When Nan Yan heard this, she quickly knelt up and looked forward.
"Well, I just finished lunch."
"You eat early. Ask them to bring some more, and you can eat some more with me."
Nan Yan originally wanted to say that she couldn't eat anymore, but when she turned around, she saw several deep wrinkles between Zhu Feng's eyebrows, so she said, "Yes."
He immediately gave orders and the imperial kitchen sent some food.
Zhu Feng had been handling government affairs in the imperial kitchen these days and had no appetite. But today his appetite was a little better. He ate two large bowls of rice, half a rabbit, and a plate of vegetables.
Nan Yan also accompanied him and ate half a bowl of rice with soup.
Zhu Feng said, "You should eat more, otherwise you'll become too weak to walk anywhere."
Nan Yan didn't ask him where he meant "where to go", but just smiled.
"I obey the emperor."
Zhu Feng nodded and felt a little tired, so he lay down on the couch and took a nap. When Eunuch Yu came to report that another memorial had been delivered, he left the cold palace.
Nan Yan walked him all the way to the door before turning around and walking back.
But when Zhu Feng's back disappeared, the gentle smile on her face also disappeared. Ran Xiaoyu looked at her solemn expression and said softly: "My lady, what are you thinking about?"
“…”
Nan Yan acted as if she didn't hear her and didn't even turn her head, but Ran Xiaoyu saw her lips slightly opening and closing, as if she was muttering something.
When I got closer, I heard her whispering, "Zhujian Academy? Zhujian... Zhujian..."

Once spring comes, the weather gets better and better.
After Nan Yan entered the cold palace, she naturally had "nothing to do". Every few days, the queen would bring Mingxin and Xiaoxinping to see her here. After a few times, the two children became very familiar with this place.
Nan Yan also took the time to finish embroidering the sachet.
However, she still hadn't fully figured out what the spices inside were. After smelling it for so long, she had already analyzed several familiar ingredients, but there were still some strange scents that didn't seem to be the spices she knew.
Perhaps, it's exotic spices.
If this is the case, it would be a bit strange. Empress Chen had never been to foreign countries, so why would she wear such a sachet?
As she thought about it, she took the half-mixed spices and put them under her nose to smell. Indeed, the taste was still wrong.
We have to find another way.
Just then, Nian Qiu walked in with tea in hand. Seeing her like this, she said, "Have you finished embroidering the sachet, Madam? Are you going to give it to the Emperor?"
Nan Yan glanced at her and just smiled.
Nian Qiu pouted: "But, why has the emperor come less and less frequently in the past two months?"
She was still the same as an ordinary palace maid, caring about whether her master was favored or not. Although she knew that Nan Yan had moved to the cold palace, the empress often came to take care of her, and the emperor also stayed here from time to time, and she did not look like she had fallen out of favor, she was still frightened every time the emperor came less.
Nan Yan just smiled and said, "The Emperor has been busy lately."
"What are you busy with?"
Nian Qiu said, "What happened in Peking recently? Haven't all the previous issues been resolved?"
“…”
Nan Yan stopped talking.
The so-called solution is only temporary.
She knew very well that they had used a trick to frame the Jian family and Prince Ning, and in fact, they had lied to the whole world.
She knew in her heart that this matter was never completely resolved.
If you lie, you will have to pay for it.
Just like these days, the increasingly tense situation in the south, and the "Zhujian Academy" that took the lead in causing trouble, are asking for retribution from them.
Although she had "nothing to do" in the cold palace, she was actually counting the days.
Zhu Feng had said before that they would go to Jinling after something was completed, and he also revealed that he would take him with him.
It's been more than two months.
What is Zhu Feng waiting for?
Just as she was thinking about it, Nian Qiu, who was standing beside her and staring at the sachet in her hand, suddenly had his eyes lit up: "The Emperor is here!"
"ah?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment. She hadn’t even noticed it, so how did she know?
Nian Qiu said, "I heard footsteps."
As soon as the voice fell, the figure outside the door was already seen. Nan Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "Are your ears so sharp?"
As she spoke, she stuffed the sachet into her sleeve. As soon as she stood up, Zhu Feng walked in.
Nan Yan stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty."
"Get up."
Zhu Feng came over, grabbed her arm with his right hand and helped her up.
Nan Yan saw at a glance that he was holding something like a letter in his left hand. The opening was new, and it was obviously some news that had just arrived.
Nan Yan smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty has arrived early today."
Although Zhu Feng has not been coming here as often these days, he usually comes back around noon to have lunch after finishing his morning government affairs, and then takes a nap; sometimes he will come here in the evening and stay overnight.
But today he came before noon.
Zhu Feng said: "Well, I just received the news, so I have something important to tell you."
Nan Yan looked at him quietly.
Zhu Feng said, "I am planning to return to Nanjing. I will leave in five days. You, the Queen, and all the concubines above the second rank in the harem, including Prince Wei and Xinping, will all go with me."
“…”
Nan Yan was a little surprised.
Zhu Feng had let the cat out of the bag a long time ago, so she knew he would take herself and the queen with him, which was understandable, but why did he also take concubines of the second rank and above, as well as the King of Wei and Xinping?
Before, he would not bring so many people with him.
Nan Yan knew there must be a reason, so she asked, "Your Majesty, is there something important happening in Jinling?"
Zhu Feng handed the letter in his hand to her.
Nan Yan took it, unfolded it and took a look——
Your Majesty, I, Du Qianqiu, hereby report that I have been ordered by Your Majesty to oversee the construction of the Da Ci'en Temple, to honor Your Majesty's benevolence and filial piety. After several months of construction, it is finally completed, fulfilling Your Majesty's wish...
Nan Yan understood immediately without finishing reading the rest.
She raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng with wide eyes: "Da Ci'en Temple?"
