Chapter 348 Is it shameful for me to be with you?
Zhu Feng's hand suddenly grabbed nothing and he couldn't help but frown. After Nan Yan subconsciously pulled back her hand, she remembered what she had done and immediately opened her eyes wide in fear.
"Your Majesty, I—"
“…”
Zhu Feng wanted to get angry, but seeing how cautious she was, he couldn't bring himself to do so.
After a while, he swallowed his anger and said to the outside: "Ask the Queen to the Wuying Palace to see the Emperor."
When Xiao Shunzi heard this, he quickly turned around and left.
Zhu Feng turned back to look at her and said unhappily, "What are you afraid of?"
“…”
"Is it shameful for me to be with you?!"
“…”
Nan Yan lowered her head deeply.
Of course it’s not shameful, they didn’t actually do anything.
However, she just didn't want others to see it, perhaps because, as a slave, Xia Yunting was favored by him and was given the status of Zhaoyi and the nickname of "bed climber". She didn't want to be like that no matter what.
Seeing her hiding her hands behind her back and looking a little stubborn, Zhu Feng felt angry but also a little bit uneasy.
After a while, he said, "Wait here!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
Nan Yan didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he left the imperial study and the door was closed again.
His warmth seemed to still remain on her fingertips. She carefully rubbed her fingers behind her back and couldn't help but smile softly.

Entering the Wuying Palace, Xu Miaoyin had already prostrated herself on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have come to apologize."
Zhu Feng waved his hand to let her stand up, then sat down on the chair: "What do you mean by that, Queen? What crime have you committed?"
Xu Miaoyin, still kneeling on the ground, said, "I have heard everything that just happened in Jianfu Palace. I didn't expect it was that maid Liyun. My failure to manage the harem effectively led to such a disaster. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment.
In the past, the queen would have been unable to escape this punishment.
But just now, he himself had figured it out a little bit. In the final analysis, this matter was because of his indiscriminate killing in Yongzhou.
Even if words can't explain it, he can't escape it in his heart.
So he sighed and said, "The Queen, get up first."
Xu Miaoyin then apologized and stood up.
Zhu Feng said, "In this matter—the Queen is indeed guilty of not managing the harem properly, but you have just ascended the throne and have to take care of so many things, so it is inevitable that there will be some shortcomings. Just treat this as a training."
“…”
"From now on, we must govern well."
"……yes."
Although she agreed, Xu Miaoyin was still a little surprised.
Of course she knew in her heart that Zhu Feng would not punish her severely for this matter, but he should give her a small punishment as a warning. After all, he came from the military, and clear punishment has always been his style.
Why this time——
What made him change?
Zhu Feng raised his head and met Xu Miaoyin's puzzled gaze. He understood a little, and couldn't help but smile. Then he said, "It's a good thing you're here. There are two things I want to tell you."
Xu Miaoyin hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please give your instructions."
"This matter has been investigated. The palace maids in the Ye Ting are all innocent. Send someone to comfort them."
"yes."
"Also, the New Year is coming soon——"
Zhu Feng looked at the Wuying Palace and said, "This is my first year since ascending the throne. So many things have happened this year. You should take good care of it."
When Xu Miaoyin heard this, she said happily, "Yes."
But the next moment, she said carefully: "Your Majesty, since the New Year is almost here, shouldn't we send the Crown Prince——"
