Chapter 600 During that time, I was in Yikun Palace
Nan Yan slowly turned around and saw Xia Yunting.
Her face was pale, but her eyes were bloodshot and red, and her whole body was shaking with tension, like a bow that had been stretched to its limit.
She had felt it from just now.
Xia Yunting must have colluded with Wu Wan and the others again.
In fact, that was exactly the case. After suffering from illness in Shou'an Palace for so long, when Xia Yunting saw her again, he hated and feared her, and he also knew her methods very well.
Now, Si Nanyan has been canonized as a noble concubine. To kill her is as easy as crushing an ant.
She didn't believe at all that Si Nanyan would let her go.
So this time, when she heard that Wu Wan and Gao Yurong were going to take action against Si Nanyan, she agreed regardless of the consequences. After all, this was almost her last hope.
If you fail again—
She had already lost her chance to survive.
So at this time, she almost lost her mind when asking this question, and even Wu Wan and the others beside her frowned.
Nan Yan looked at her and smiled faintly.
"Does Consort Xia care so much about Master Jian?"
Xia Yunting trembled and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I am just concerned. Do you know where Master Jian went for such a long time after entering the palace?"
Nan Yan sneered, "How would I know?"
“…”
"During that time, I took a nap in Yikun Palace."
Xia Yunting was so anxious that he lost his mind and asked, "Can anyone prove it?"
Nan Yan looked at her calmly and said, "You are so brave."
“…”
"How dare a mere Zhaoyi question me?"
“…”
"Are you worthy?"
These words, like a sharp sword, pierced Xia Yunting's chest.
She took a trembling step back.
Nan Yan glanced at her coldly and said, "Unless the emperor asks me about this, it's not your turn to speak."
After saying that, she slowly turned her head and turned to Zhu Feng.
Everyone seemed to realize something and turned to look at Zhu Feng.
Inside Chengqian Palace, the atmosphere was a little subtle for a moment.
Also a little tense.
As for Zhu Feng, he didn't show any emotion from beginning to end.
That cold, ice-sculptured face was filled with a cold indifference as he said, "I will not ask."
“…”
"Because, during that time, I was in Yikun Palace."
What? !
Everyone was in an uproar again.
During that time, the emperor was in the Yikun Palace?
Just now, Si Nanyan said that she was taking a nap in the Yikun Palace during that time, and the emperor was also in the Yikun Palace——
Suddenly, the young Zhu Chengxuan blushed a little.
He lowered his head subconsciously.
Jian Ruocheng also calmly took the jade token back to his body.
At this moment, he knew that no one would care about what he was doing during the time he took the detour.
Everyone in the crowd had an expression of understanding.
Only Nan Yan was there. She looked at Zhu Feng with a complicated light in her eyes.
Zhu Feng also looked at her for a while, then said calmly, "Let's have dinner."
Everyone went inside immediately.
And everyone also understood that this banquet was over before it even began.
Throughout the dinner, the emperor and the newly-enthroned imperial concubine were unusually silent.
The Queen Mother naturally has the demeanor of the master of the six palaces. If she hadn't been there to hold things in check, I'm afraid this dinner party would have been unable to go on.
Because, Concubine Zhuang Wu Wan and Concubine An Gao Yurong were both in a state of disarray.
Zhaoyi Xia Yunting was even more terrified.
The three of them didn't eat anything the whole night, and when they spoke they looked dazed and their words were incoherent.
Especially Xia Yunting.
When the night banquet ended and everyone left Chengqian Palace, she was helped out by Fulan.
At this moment, Nan Yan walked past her.
She actually stepped on the threshold and fell down, breaking her head.
The imperial concubine turned around and left without even looking at her.
The night is getting dark.
The lights in Chengqian Palace gradually dimmed, and Zhu Feng was also walking back.
Jian Ruocheng was also by his side.
The footsteps of the two people seemed a little heavy in this quiet night, and seemed to carry some strange thoughts.
Zhu Feng said: "Ruocheng."
Jian Ruocheng said, "I am here."
"What do you think about what happened today?"
"Didn't the emperor say that I dare not ask any more questions about the affairs of the harem?"
"I mean, your business."
“…”
"Your jade token appeared among the imperial concubine's gifts. You stayed in the palace for a while longer."
"Your Majesty, do you wish to hear my explanation?"
"I'm just curious. When those people were questioning you, you remained silent."
“…”
"Aren't you afraid of really asking something?"
Jian Ruocheng lowered his head, a slight smile appearing on his calm face: "I am not worried."
"Oh? Why?"
"Because, I did pass by Yikun Palace."
“…”
"I also know that the emperor was in Yikun Palace during that period."
Zhu Feng's steps paused.
He turned around and looked at his minister: "How did you know?"
Jian Ruocheng also stopped, lowering his head and speaking calmly, "After conferring the title of Prince of Wei, the Emperor did not go to the Imperial Study to review memorials, and Lord Ye and the others did not follow him to the Wuying Palace."
“…”
"Your Majesty, of course I'm in the harem."
"Then how do you know that I didn't go to another palace, but to Yikun Palace?"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng looked at him quietly for a while.
Then he smiled faintly: "In the emperor's heart, there is only the imperial concubine."
“…”
After saying this, he saw that Zhu Feng's expression remained unchanged.
But his breath became heavier.
The two looked at each other in silence for a while. Zhu Feng slowly turned around and said as he walked away, "You did a great job today."
“…”
"Whether she is a blessing or a curse, it has nothing to do with you."
"I know."
“…”
"The Imperial Concubine's fortune or misfortune is solely related to the Emperor."
Zhu Feng seemed to laugh.
But that laughter didn't sound joyful at all.
The two walked for a while and arrived at the palace gate. Zhu Feng stopped and said, "You should go back early. Tonight's banquet is over, and many things need to start tomorrow."
"I understand. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Jian Ruocheng bowed to him, then slowly turned and walked away.
Zhu Feng turned around without waiting for his back to disappear, and walked towards Yikun Palace.
His steps were no lighter than when he came.
On the contrary, each step feels heavier than the last.
It was as if the stone pressing on his heart had now fallen on him.
Finally, he arrived in front of Yiku Palace.
But I saw that the door here was closed.
There wasn't even a light, and there was a thick shadow in front of the gate.
Without even turning his head, he simply said, "Go knock on the door."
Xiao Shunzi, who had been following him, hurried forward and knocked on the palace door in the dark shadows.
After a while, he came back.
Seeing Xiao Shunzi's slightly panicked eyes, Zhu Feng frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
“…”
Xiao Shunzi hesitated and whispered, "The Imperial Concubine has ordered that they rest."
“…”
"No one is allowed to disturb me."
