Chapter 1914 Someone is in trouble
Ran Xiaoyu said: "But today, the emperor is leaving."
“…”
Nan Yan blinked.
Only then did she remember that last night, when she fell asleep with Zhu Feng by her side, she vaguely heard him telling her that he would be leaving tomorrow, and if she didn't want to get up, she didn't have to see him off.
It really is!
Nan Yan immediately put down her chopsticks and asked, "Where is the emperor?"
Nian Qiu said hurriedly, "When I came here just now, I saw Master Gu going outside. I guess he is preparing to gather his men and leave the Duwei Mansion."
Nan Yan stood up immediately after hearing this. Aunt Tong Yun said anxiously, "Have dinner first, Madam."
But how could she listen?
Although they knew that this was not a big deal and Zhu Feng would not be away for ten days or half a month, it was a rare time for the two of them to be alone together during this period of time. No one else came to interfere, and there were no chaotic things happening in the palace.
Although they seldom have sex, their relationship has become much better.
He was going to leave, even if it was just for a day, even if it was not a long distance, but it gave Nan Yan a very uneasy feeling.
She walked out in a hurry. Aunt Tongyun couldn't catch up with her, only Ran Xiaoyu followed her immediately.
After a while, they walked outside.
Before I even walked out of the gate, I saw people gathering outside the gate. It was very lively, but when I looked closely, there were really not many people.
There was only Ye Zheng with a few personal soldiers and dozens of Jinyiwei.
Although they were all riding horses and looked like elites, there were very few such people and horses when the emperor traveled.
Nan Yan looked around and saw that Zhu Feng had not come over yet.
Then he said to Ran Xiaoyu beside him: "Go and see Ye Zheng first and ask him if these are really the only people there."
Of course, what she said was to give Ran Xiaoyu and Ye Zheng a chance to be alone together.
Ran Xiaoyu blushed, but went there immediately.
When she walked over, Nan Yan heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Zhu Feng walking towards her.
When I looked up, I saw Nan Yan standing here.
He came over immediately and asked, "Why are you here?"
Nan Yan looked at him eagerly: "I thought the emperor left without even saying goodbye."
Zhu Feng laughed and said, "It's only been a day or two since we've been here, why are you still acting like a spoiled brat?"
Having said that, he had already taken Nan Yan's hand.
Fortunately, this place is still some distance away from the gate, and there is a tree at the corner, so people outside cannot see the affectionate look between His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine.
Nan Yan turned her head and looked outside.
Then he said, "But the emperor brought too few people."
Zhu Feng also took a look, his eyes flickering slightly, then smiled at Nan Yan and said, "This time, we're only going to meet with the visiting envoys. How many people are needed?"
“…”
"The other side chose a location outside of either side's sphere of influence precisely because they were worried about our overwhelming power. If I were to bring so many people with me, I would be doing more harm than good."
"But the Emperor is traveling, how can we just rely on such a small number of people?"
Nan Yan said worriedly, "Although the matter with Thermidor has been resolved, what if there are still accidents?"
Zhu Feng comforted her, "There aren't that many accidents."
“…”
"If there really is one, I can handle it."
"Can--"
Nan Yan was so worried that she wanted to say something, but Zhu Feng gently squeezed her hand and said, "Why, you still don't believe me?"
After hearing what he said, Nan Yan didn't know what to say anymore.
Indeed, if she had to say that the person she felt most at ease with in this world was Zhu Feng, if even he couldn't solve a problem, then others would probably be helpless.
She could only say, "No matter what, Your Majesty must be careful about everything."
Zhu Feng said: "Of course."
As she spoke, Nan Yan looked at him again and couldn't help but frown.
Zhu Feng was wearing a navy blue robe today, decorated with dark gold cloud patterns. He looked gorgeous and restrained. He wore a jade-colored belt, which was tied tightly around his waist, which made his figure more elegant and particularly handsome. If it were any other time, Nan Yan would definitely not be able to help but exclaim in admiration.
But when she saw his decorations today, Nan Yan immediately said, "Why isn't the emperor wearing a dragon robe?"
"Well--"
Zhu Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "I've thought about it and there's no need to go through so much trouble."
"How can that be?"
Nan Yan turned around again and looked outside. Ran Xiaoyu was talking to Ye Zheng. Although Ye Zheng tried his best to avoid her, he seemed unable to help but join in the conversation. His expression seemed contradictory and funny - and he was wearing an official uniform.
Nan Yan said, "Even Ye Zheng is wearing his official uniform, and the rest of the Jinyiwei and the imperial guards are also wearing their uniforms, but how can the emperor only wear this?"
“…”
"The envoy has arrived, but he still doesn't know who the emperor is!"
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "I brought the dragon robe with me, but I didn't want it to be public, so I asked them to pack it up and put it on when we get there and meet."
"That's more like it."
Nan Yan kept nagging for a long time, but since it was getting late, she stopped dragging him along.
He only repeatedly warned: "Your Majesty must be careful. The weather is bad today. Don't delay on the road."
"I understand."
Zhu Feng also reminded her: "I will only be gone for a day or two. Eat well and don't worry too much. I will be back soon."
"Um."
Nan Yan stood at the door, and Ran Xiaoyu returned to accompany her.
Soon, Zhu Feng got on his horse and led everyone out of the Duwei Mansion.
Nan Yan looked up until their backs disappeared at the end of the long street.
But, just as they worried.
Less than two hours after Zhu Feng and his companions left, the weather changed.
The crimson glow in the sky gradually turned black, and dark clouds soon gathered in the sky, covering the sky and completely blocking out the sunlight.
Then, a drizzle of rain began to fall.
If this kind of rain happened in the Duwei Mansion, it would be a beautiful sight, but in the vast wilderness, there was not even a place to shelter from the rain.
They were all riding horses.
Seeing that the horses were unable to open their eyes due to the rain and several people fell down, Zhu Feng could only ask everyone to stop and set up tents to barely shelter from the rain.
Gu Yiyou stayed by Zhu Feng's side.
He said, "Even if the rain stops soon, Your Majesty, please tell everyone to be careful."
"Why?"
"There's always loose soil on this wasteland. If it gets soaked by water, I'm afraid you'll sink if you step on empty space."
Zhu Feng nodded and was about to give orders to draw everyone's attention, but at this moment, a personal soldier who had been scouting the way ran back from the front and kowtowed to him.
"emperor."
Zhu Feng asked, "What's wrong?"
The guard pointed at the vast rain curtain ahead and said: "Something happened up ahead."
