Chapter 690: I have my own plans for this matter
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"emperor."
Hearing the voice, it was Gu Tingqiu, the Minister of Works.
Ye Zheng immediately turned to look at Zhu Feng, only to see him say even calmer, "Come in.
Gu Tingqiu walked in from outside.
Ye Zheng looked at him attentively. He knew that Gu Tingqiu was the imperial concubine's uncle. It was because of the imperial concubine that he was highly valued by the emperor and had been supervising the construction of Beiping City.
What is he going to do this time?
"What is it?"
"Your Majesty, this is the progress of the new city's construction these days. I have specially prepared it for your review."
"Bring it here."
Xiao Shunzi immediately walked over, took the document from Gu Tingqiu's hand, and presented it to Zhu Feng.
He picked it up, looked through it for a while, and then nodded.
“You did a great job.”
“…”
"There are no problems with the new city construction now, right?"
"Only one thing."
"What?"
"Before, some bandits appeared in Henan Road and robbed passing merchants. Moreover, they affected the construction of the new city once or twice."
Zhu Feng frowned. "Didn't I already order the River Governor to handle this matter?"
Gu Tingqiu hurriedly said, "I also know that Duke Dingguo has already sent troops to attack that group of bandits."
"So what?"
"However, I heard that the gang of bandits was not completely eliminated, but was dispersed."
“…”
"Recently, there seems to be news that they are gathering together again."
Zhu Feng asked, "Are you saying that the bandits have gathered near Henan Road again?"
"It seems so."
"What do they want to do?"
"I don't know yet. I just feel that the construction of the new city cannot be affected in any way."
Zhu Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Ye Zheng."
Ye Zheng immediately stepped forward: "I am here."
"I'll leave this matter to you and Xu Shifeng."
"I obey the order."
After Ye Zheng received the order, he was about to turn around and leave when he heard Zhu Feng say to Gu Tingqiu, "You are thoughtful and conscientious. Very good."
Gu Tingqiu leaned forward and said, "The Emperor has entrusted me with such an important task, I cannot repay him with even the smallest reward."
Zhu Feng nodded: "Go down and do your job well."
However, Gu Tingqiu did not leave immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhu Feng again.
Zhu Feng's eyes had already fallen on the secret letter. At this moment, he felt that Gu Tingqiu seemed to have something to say, so he raised his eyes and looked at him: "Hmm?"
Gu Tingqiu mustered up his courage and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has been abducted to the Kingdom of Dian for a long time."
“…”
"I, your humble servant, would like to ask the Emperor what his plans are."
“…”
Ye Zheng immediately stopped and looked at Zhu Feng.
He felt really strange.
Before, just hearing that someone was trying to get his hands on the imperial concubine at the banquet in the Kingdom of Dian, Zhu Feng was already furious and wanted to destroy the entire Kingdom of Dian.
But this time, the Emperor of Neng State treated the Imperial Concubine——
Even if he didn't take any action, those actions were enough to make him suffer according to Zhu Feng's previous temper.
Moreover, the imperial concubine was taken to Baihu City, where the spies could not follow her and no news could be passed back.
Instead, he calmed down.
What's happening with Zhu Feng? Has he changed his personality?
And now, finally someone who is considered to be from the imperial concubine's family came to ask questions, and Ye Zheng also wanted to find out what Zhu Feng was thinking.
Sure enough, in the quiet study, the sound of Zhu Feng's breath subsiding could be clearly heard.
Ye Zheng and Gu Tingqiu almost held their breath involuntarily.
Two people looked at him carefully.
After a long silence, Zhu Feng spoke in a low voice, "I have my own plans for this matter."
“…”
"Just do your job."
“…”
"Don't ask about the concubine's affairs."
After saying that, he waved to Gu Tingqiu and asked him to leave.
Gu Tingqiu was still a little hesitant, but they all knew Zhu Feng's temper. It was a miracle that he could still patiently answer him after he asked the question.
He could only murmur "yes" and then retreat.
Ye Zheng also walked out of the study and the door was closed again.
The two people looked at each other.
After a while, Gu Tingqiu said in a deep voice: "Master Ye, what are your plans for the Imperial Concubine's matter?"
Ye Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I plan? Lord Gu just heard that the Emperor has asked me to deal with the bandits in Henan."
“…”
"It seems that the Emperor does not intend to discuss the Imperial Concubine's problem with anyone."
After saying that, he shook his head and turned away.
Gu Tingqiu frowned and looked back at the closed door.
He knew very well that his promotion, honor and disgrace, as well as the future of the Si family, all depended on Si Nanyan.
He was also well aware of the emperor's fondness for the imperial concubine.
But this time, the imperial concubine was abducted to the Kingdom of Dian, which was an unexpected accident that no one had expected. What was even more unexpected was that the emperor was followed closely by a concubine named Ning Fei, who was around him every day.
However, no one seemed to care about the imperial concubine's safety.
Is it true that the emperor's favor comes and goes quickly?
He couldn't help but feel anxious.
You know, being kidnapped is just the beginning.
If a concubine stays in an enemy country for a long time, she will no longer be just a victim of robbery, but will become a sinner!

In a blink of an eye, several days passed.
Under the dazzling sunlight, Nan Yan was riding a tall, snow-white horse on the racecourse.
Although she was sweating profusely, her face was full of excitement, even a somewhat excited smile. The sweat that fell on her body, when illuminated by the sunlight, also reflected colorful light.
It feels so good to ride on horseback.
Here, there is a horse farm that is larger than the one in Kulun City, because Baihu City is an important western town of the Neng people. When the Neng people want to transfer troops to the west, this place is a checkpoint fortress.
There are not many residents here, but there are many soldiers and horses.
A temporary palace, surrounded by guards.
Since coming here, Nan Yan has spent almost every day on horseback. After a few days of practice, she has become able to ride a horse skillfully.
After running for a long time, I feel a little tired.
She pulled the reins and trotted the horse back to the awning.
Monk sat in the pergola, with fruits and tea on the small table beside him. Since he came here to recuperate, he did not go horseback riding, but because Nan Yan liked it, he accompanied her here every day.
Seeing Nan Yan coming back, he smiled and said, "You are already a skilled rider."
“…”
"I've seen so many people ride horses, even Baoyin, but none of them learned as quickly as you did."
Princess Baoyin, who was sitting next to her, immediately pouted.
"Brother Monk, just praise her. Why are you comparing yourself to me? Am I that bad?"
Monk laughed.
Said: "I was just joking."
"snort!"
After saying that, Monk turned to look at Nan Yan again: "You are really a natural on horseback."
