Chapter 1522 Why is this happening?
At this moment, Simulan suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I didn't just discover this. I also discovered that the Imperial Concubine—she also bought some things that the imperial court had previously banned!"
“……!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Yan's heart sank.
Zhu Feng frowned slightly and said, "Something that is expressly prohibited by the imperial court?"
"Yes."
Seeing the emperor asking this question, Simulan's cheeks flushed with excitement, as if she had been saved from a desperate situation. Even her eyes were red. She hurriedly said, "I saw with my own eyes that the imperial concubine was swaggering down the street, talking to strangers, and then she bought some spices from a small vendor."
"Spices? What spices?"
Simulan said anxiously: "Benzoin!"
“…”
Zhu Feng's breath also sank slightly.
He subconsciously glanced at Nan Yan, and Simulan thought she had caught Nan Yan's handle, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, benzoin was previously banned by the court and private trading is not allowed. But the Imperial Concubine actually bought such a thing herself."
“…”
"Your Majesty, I saw this with my own eyes!"
Nan Yan's expression became increasingly ugly.
When Zhu Feng heard the word "benzoin", he showed a hint of surprise, but he was not angry.
Instead, he turned to look at Nan Yan and said, "Benzoin?"
“…”
"Is it—the sachet?"
“…”
"Have you figured that out?"
Nan Yan gritted her teeth. At this moment, her eyes were red from staring at Si Mulan. But when Zhu Feng came to ask her, she could only admit, "Yes."
“…”
Zhu Feng took another deep breath.
His expression became solemn.
Obviously, he had not forgotten this incident, but Nan Yan did not want to mention it for the time being, and even more so, she did not want him to remember it.
It is the sachet left by the late Queen Chen.
Ever since Zhu Chengxuan identified that the sachet contained benzoin, and Nan Yan found that incense on the streets of Jinling and copied the sachet herself, she never told Zhu Feng. Firstly, it was because he was busy with the opening ceremony of Da Ci'en Temple at that time, and secondly, it was because Nan Yan still had some concerns in her heart.
Later on...
During that period, she certainly had no way to tell him about it.
Later, on her way back to Beijing, she was kidnapped by Li Bushan and met the mysterious man again. He told her about the old grudge between Zhu Feng and his father, and also told her that she had a trump card that could guide Zhu Feng to Yumen Pass.
It’s that sachet!
However, I still couldn't make up my mind.
So much so that, on the day of the winter solstice, Zhu Feng took her out for a trip and they met the mysterious man in the restaurant. When he urged her to quickly lead Zhu Feng to Yumen Pass, she still delayed using the excuse that Feng Qianyan had not yet given birth to a child.
Even now, she is still wavering and has not made up her mind.
It's not just because the truth is revealed.
It wasn't because Zhu Feng was as gentle and considerate to her as before.
All this cannot constitute a reason for her heart to be won back, although she does crave the warmth he gives her. After living for so many years, he is the only one who can enter her heart and make her heart beat, and the two of them have been entangled for so long.
More importantly—
She never forgot that Zhu Feng was not only her man, but also the emperor of the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
He, ruling the world, is ambitious and working hard to lead the Great Yan Dynasty to prosperity and ultimately achieve the dreams of both of them.
That dream of a prosperous age.
Therefore, her hesitation and delay again and again almost tore her heart into pieces.
But he didn't expect that at this time, this Si Mulan - the damn Si Mulan, actually mentioned benzoin in front of Zhu Feng. He couldn't hide it anymore and could only tell him.
Zhu Feng was afraid that—
Thinking of this, Nan Yan became extremely angry. She gritted her teeth and stared down at Si Mulan.
From childhood to adulthood, Simulan had never seen Sinanyan so angry. Even when she bullied her as a child, even when she disrupted the ceremony of her canonization as a concubine, she never had such an angry look in her eyes, as if she wanted to tear her into pieces.
She immediately began to tremble.
This time, Zhu Feng no longer controlled his anger.
If before, he just thought that the woman in front of him was stupid and ridiculous, of course, it was not the first time he had witnessed her stupidity. Naturally, someone had told him about the events of the imperial concubine's enthronement ceremony, and he remembered a lot of them.
But now, when Simulan started biting people like a mad dog, the image of Feng Qianyan kneeling at his feet that day seemed to reappear in his eyes.
They are all the same.
In order to achieve their own goals and get what they want, they will do whatever it takes to harm the woman around them.
She was originally protected by herself.
But there are so many mad dogs biting her without knowing the consequences.
Thinking of this, Zhu Feng gritted his teeth and sneered, "You are so bold that you even dare to frame the Imperial Concubine. Do you think that I have room for people like you?!"
Upon hearing this, Simulan suddenly stiffened.
She stiffened her neck and stared at Zhu Feng with wide eyes, unable to believe her ears.
What's going on?
Why is this happening?
Everything she said, every word she said, was reporting to the emperor about the imperial concubine's misconduct. Why didn't he blame Si Nanyan, but instead said this about herself?
She said foolishly: "Your Majesty, I, this humble girl, told you the truth for Your Majesty. I don't want Your Majesty to be -"
"shut up!"
Zhu Feng angrily said, "How dare you slander and frame the Imperial Concubine?!"
At this moment, everyone present knelt down.
Although Gu Tingqiu had already made up his mind not to say a word or beg for mercy for his niece, what they were most worried about was whether they would be implicated by this woman who was as stupid as a pig.
What’s more worrying is that Gu Tingchun, as a mother, will do something stupid.
Fortunately, Si Muyun had been standing behind his mother. At this time, he held Gu Tingchun's hand tightly, pulled her to her knees, and kept whispering: "Mother, if you don't want our entire family to be executed, don't say a word!"
Gu Tingchun was about to cry.
Just then, Nan Yan's voice rang out in the lobby.
"Wait a minute."
Her voice was so cold that it sent a chill down one's spine, and everyone lowered their heads even lower.
Nan Yan said, "Your Majesty, can you leave this matter to me?"
