Chapter 98 Ask her to bring the imperial seal with her
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered slightly, but immediately, as if nothing had happened, he lowered his head and took a sip of wine.
Zhu Xuan still looked at him with burning eyes.
"His Majesty!"
Zhu Feng smiled, then raised his head from his wine glass and said, "Why is Prince Jing so anxious? The Yanyun region is ravaged by war. If I grant you this region, wouldn't that mean you're being thrust into the midst of this war?"
“…”
"How can I bear this?"
Zhu Xuan frowned as he listened, and immediately said, "But Your Majesty, I have long desired the land of Yanyun, and I have already made this clear to Your Majesty."
“…”
"Your Majesty, do you wish to—"
He didn't finish what he was saying because he couldn't say it out loud.
After all, the emperor's words are golden and he cannot go back on his word.
But Zhu Feng just smiled and didn't continue the conversation - they had borrowed their three Doyan guards from Prince Jing and Prince Ning and promised them huge profits because the war situation was critical and they had no choice but to do so. But now that things have slowed down, it's naturally a different story.
The Land of Yanyun...
He smiled and said, "Sixth Brother, you are still too impatient."
At this moment, Zhu Xuan, who had been lingering on the backs of the departing dancers, finally withdrew his gaze, unfolded his fan, and said with a smile as he fanned himself, "Sixth brother, you are just too impatient."
“…”
"The Emperor has promised you, could he go back on his word?"
“…”
"If you do this now, won't it make people think that we brothers are still arguing over some fiefdoms?"
Zhu Xuan said, "If that's the case, then why doesn't Your Majesty just give the land of Yanyun to me?"
“…”
"Could it be that the Emperor feels that I, your humble servant, do not deserve that fiefdom?"
“…”
"Still, the emperor's words really can only be listened to——"
Zhu Feng's face darkened.
But immediately, the hand that was tightly holding the wine glass slowly loosened and put the glass back on the table.
He knew his sixth brother very well since he was a child. He was reckless and said whatever he wanted. However, his prestige in the army was extremely high. Moreover, he had made great contributions in the Jingnan Campaign. Now that the reign had just been established, he could not have any conflict with him.
Seeing this, Zhu Xuan, who was standing by, smiled and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Your Majesty, Prince Jing has this kind of temper. Besides, he's different from me who just sits around doing nothing every day. Tomorrow, he'll be returning to his fiefdom."
Zhu Feng looked at him again, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He said, "Well, if that's the case, I can issue the decree now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him, especially Xu Miaoyin and Ye Zheng, were stunned for a moment. Ye Zheng took a step forward and was about to say something when he heard Zhu Feng say, "Ye Zheng, go to the Shangbao Division now and call Si Nanyan over."
“…”
"Let her take the imperial seal with her."
“…”
The people around were stunned again.
Ye Zheng glanced at him in surprise. Zhu Feng had already turned around and said coldly, "Why don't you go now?"
"As you wish."
Ye Zheng's footsteps paused again, but he immediately turned around and left the Imperial Garden, hurriedly running towards the Shangbao Division behind the Wuying Palace.
As soon as he arrived at Shangbaosi and pushed open the door, he saw Si Nanyan sitting at the table, with her hands on her chin, quietly looking at the incense burner on the table and the light smoke rising up.
