Chapter 3293 Why not lock him up?
"If he really wants to go—he's still young, and together with Cheng Jun, they're just two kids who haven't experienced much, so the situation will be more complicated."
Nan Yan broke out in a cold sweat when she heard Zhu Feng's words.
She whispered, "This child, wouldn't he be so stubborn?"
Zhu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Before, because Cheng Jun ran around, he was beaten once. It must have left a deep impression on him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent the entire afternoon looking for Cheng Jun in the Duwei Mansion, and finally led a horse out of the city to look for him. If he really knew that Cheng Jun was captured by Arslan, he might really want to find a way to save him himself."
Nan Yan just felt a headache.
The last time she beat Wen Bieyu, she just wanted to teach him a lesson, and at the same time kill a chicken to scare the monkey, to scare Zhu Chengjun so that he wouldn't run around. Who knew, the chicken was killed but the monkey wasn't scared. Now, Wen Bieyu might really do something stupid because he was afraid of being punished by them.
She couldn't help but put her hands up to support her aching head.
"I, I really am—"
Seeing her regretful expression, Zhu Feng sighed, grabbed her hand and held it in his palm, saying solemnly, "It's too late to say anything now. We can only cut the Gordian knot and resolve this matter sooner so that they can escape danger sooner."
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and asked, "Your Majesty means that the war should be started earlier?"
Zhu Feng said: "It's not considered early."
"Um?"
"Arslan's army has been fully mobilized out of White Tiger City, and the altar for praying for rain that my uncle requested has been prepared. The other items have been sent over, and he will also be there tomorrow."
“…”
"Whether this happened or not, what needs to be done is right in front of us."
Nan Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Although what Zhu Feng said was correct, no matter whether Zhu Chengjun was captured by Arslan or not, what had to be done would not change. Moreover, even if they did not fight, Arslan would mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, so it would not be a wasted trip.
However, once the war breaks out and everything is in chaos, what should Zhu Chengjun do?
Nan Yan frowned and thought for a long time, then said, "Then, I will go there with the old uncle tomorrow."
Zhu Feng frowned when he heard this: "Are you going too?"
If it were normal times and there was a war outside, if Nan Yan asked to leave the city, he would definitely refute it immediately, or even scold her directly. But this time, he did not object immediately, but just looked at Nan Yan with a serious expression.
Nan Yan said, "Your Majesty also understands my thoughts. At this time, I have no way to stay peacefully in the Duwei Mansion."
“…”
"No matter what, I will go there."
Zhu Feng thought silently for a while, and finally just sighed and said, "Well, I know that if I ask you to stay in the Duwei Mansion at this time - let alone whether you will do it, I am afraid that by then, I will lose you too."
What he said was obviously referring to the battle of Peking City that year. He had clearly sent Nan Yan back to the Prince of Yan's Mansion, but this young woman still secretly left the mansion alone and ran to the city wall where the fierce fighting was taking place.
At that time she was just a little palace maid, and it was impossible to control her, let alone now.
Especially now, Cheng Jun is missing.
Zhu Feng said, "In that case, I will send more people to escort you there, but you have to promise me not to act recklessly, otherwise—if a war breaks out, you know what will happen. I don't need to threaten you with anything, you know how powerful I am."
Nan Yan said, "I understand."
The night passed quickly.
The next day, Nan Yan got up before dawn. In fact, she had not slept the whole night. After all, her son was missing, and no mother could rest easy.
Ruoshui and the others were originally worried that Nan Yan might have no appetite to eat, but after breakfast was delivered, Nan Yan still forced herself to sit at the table and eat some. No matter how difficult the time was, she always understood that as long as she didn't fall down, many problems could be solved.
Ruoshui, who was serving beside him, also breathed a sigh of relief.
But just then, she heard a loud noise coming from the yard outside.
It's so early in the morning and many people haven't even woken up yet, why is it so noisy?
Seeing Nan Yan also frowning and glancing outside, she said, "Your Majesty, please have your meal first. I will go out and take a look."
After saying that, he turned and walked out. It was still dark outside. Only the light from the house shone through the window, barely illuminating a few people standing at the gate, talking loudly. Ruoshui walked over and said, "Delu, you deserve a beating too, don't you? You're making such a fuss here while the queen is still having her meal."
De Lu immediately said, "You've come at the perfect time. This crazy person must come over to look for someone."
Ruoshui walked over and saw that the person standing at the gate was none other than Wen Bieyu's crazy and stupid uncle Wen Wuyu.
After arriving here, Chen Zixiao arranged a place for him to live separately, and someone was watching him, so no one paid much attention to him. Unexpectedly, he ran to the imperial concubine's residence early in the morning before dawn.
Ruoshui frowned: "What are you doing here?"
Wen Wuyu stood in the darkness, his face dull and his eyes lifeless. He said blankly, "I want to find Bie Yu. Where is he? Where is he?"
Ruoshui and Delu looked at each other.
After arriving at Handongwei, Wen Bieyu would go to accompany him almost every day. Obviously, he was anxious because Wen Bieyu didn't go to see him yesterday.
The two of them didn't know what to say for a moment, and Wen Wuyu was about to rush in, saying non-stop: "I want to find him, let me find him."
How could they let him break into the imperial concubine's residence, so they hurriedly stopped him. Wen Wu Yu also became anxious and struggled while shouting.
Just when everything was in chaos, Nan Yan walked into the yard and asked, "What's going on?"
Ruoshui hurried to her and told her what happened.
Nan Yan frowned upon hearing this, thought for a moment, and then said to Wen Wuyu, "Wen Bieyu—he's out on business, and isn't in the mansion right now. Don't make a fuss, I'll bring him back later."
Wen Wuyu was still dumbfounded, shaking his head and muttering, "I want to find Bie Yu, I want to find him, you let me find him."
De Lu frowned and said, "My Lady, why don't you lock him up?"
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment.
This guy is really pitiful. He can't understand anything. If he is locked up again, who knows what will happen to him.
At this moment, a deep voice came from outside the courtyard gate: "What are you doing? Why aren't you getting ready yet?"
When everyone looked back, they saw that it was the old king's uncle standing there.
Nan Yan was going to set off with him today, so he prepared everything early. Seeing that this side was not ready yet, he came over to urge them.
When Nan Yan saw him, she immediately went over to pay her respects, but at this moment, she discovered that Wen Wu Yu, who was originally standing at the gate of the courtyard and closest to the old uncle, suddenly shivered and hid behind her.
