Chapter 276 Contagious Disease
Nan Yan was lying on the bed with her head resting on the pillow. Just then, a ray of moonlight was shining on the edge of the bed in front of her, cold and bright.
The moonlight in winter is like a layer of frost.
Tomorrow, he will be back.
Although so many bad things had happened and the pain in her body had not completely subsided, she became happy as soon as she heard that he was coming back.
Tomorrow, I will see him.
But, what about the future...?

Early morning, the great altar.
Zhu Feng stood in front of the two gates with his hands behind his back. The sunlight broke through the clouds and illuminated the mottled gold-painted paintings on the gates.
The auspicious clouds make people feel like they are falling into the clouds.
At this time, Xu Miaoyin walked behind him and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to return to the palace."
"Um."
The two men walked out and found the convoy waiting. After getting on the carriage, Zhu Feng saw Xu Miaoyin sitting opposite him, hesitant to speak, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Miaoyin was silent for a moment before she said, "I heard that some ministers in the court have submitted a memorial requesting the emperor to depose Concubine Du and also to dismiss her brother from his post."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows.
Xu Miaoyin said hurriedly: "Of course I dare not interfere in government affairs, but Concubine Du's matter concerns the harem, and I want to hear the emperor's opinion."
Zhu Feng remained unmoved. He placed his hands flat on his knees and said calmly, "What do I think?"
“…”
"This is all my family affairs."
“…”
“Those officials, they have no control over it.”
As the carriage swayed slightly, Xu Miaoyin's heart also felt a little turbulent.
Since Zhu Feng ascended the throne as emperor, he has naturally been honored by countless people. However, compared to the former King of Yan who was decisive and invincible on the battlefield, the current emperor seems to be more difficult to understand.
Before, she thought he was interested in Si Nanyan.
The news coming back from Yongzhou also confirmed this idea, but in such a short time, he suddenly began to favor Du Siyao.
Moreover, Du Siyao's brother was promoted to the Ministry of Works.
Although Xu Miaoyin never interfered in politics, she knew that the job in the Ministry of Works was very lucrative and many people in the court, including her own family, were eyeing it.
The people of the Du family had long ago become followers of Concubine Kang's father, Wu Yingqiu.
Isn't the Emperor very averse to ministers forming factions? Doesn't he care about this?
I was confused, but didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The carriage traveled for most of the day and finally returned to the palace.
The welcoming ceremony was naturally grand. Zhu Feng got off the carriage and scanned the crowd.
Si Nanyan did not appear in the crowd.
Of course, she was just a female official in charge of imperial ceremonies and did not have to be among the crowd welcoming the emperor.
Even on the day he left, he didn't let her see him off.
But since he couldn't see her, his brows unconsciously frowned.
Ye Zheng hurriedly asked the eunuchs around him, then walked over and said softly, "I heard that the female official is feeling a little unwell."
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned slightly, but his expression immediately darkened as he said coldly, "Did I ask her?"
Ye Zheng stuck out his tongue and stepped aside.
Not feeling well.
Is she sick again?
At this time, the Queen also got off the carriage, and all the concubines hurried forward to pay their respects. She nodded to them, then said to Wu Wan, "Sister Kang Fei, I hope nothing has happened in the palace since the Queen was away these few days?"
“…”
Wu Wan didn't speak immediately, but glanced at Du Siyao out of the corner of her eye.
Xu Miaoyin sensed something: "What's going on?"
Du Siyao hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, there may be a contagious disease in the harem."
