Chapter 1274: His Majesty the Emperor, Who Enforces Laws Like a Mountain
Nan Yan suddenly understood.
Asked: "Is it, Ran Xiaoyu?"
The steward then nodded cautiously and said with a mournful face, "Miss Xiaoyu is making soup in there and she chased out the people who were working on the stove. No one dared to go in."
“…”
"I don't know why just now——"
“…”
Nan Yan suddenly didn't know what to say. She turned her head carefully and saw Zhu Feng with a stern face, looking at her with a look of contempt that said "let's see what you say".
Nan Yan immediately smiled guiltily and said, "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng said lazily, "Who said before that if she burned down the kitchen, she would use her monthly salary to compensate for it?"
“…”
"Give the money to the cashier yourself."
“…”
"I will check it out."
Nan Yan never thought that what she had just said as a joke would come true.
I could only smile bitterly and say, "I obey your command."
Seeing her look of self-pity, Zhu Feng found it a little funny, but he couldn't really laugh. He just turned around and walked towards the wing room.
Nan Yan was about to follow, but after taking two steps, Zhu Feng stopped again.
"Where else do you want to go?"
"well?"
"Your men burned the kitchen. Why don't you go over and deal with the mess over there? Do you still want to follow me to watch the fun?"
"……Well."
Nan Yan was speechless.
Yang Dai and the officer in charge of the Duwei Mansion, who were kneeling in the middle of the yard, both opened their eyes wide in shock.
Although they did not work for Zhu Feng, they had heard of the Emperor's harshness and cruelty. This time, even the kitchen was burned down. In folk terms, this was considered an offense to the Kitchen God.
If this is the case, everyone inside and outside the kitchen will be implicated.
Even if he doesn't behead you, he will definitely be beaten with a stick.
However, seeing the emperor's attitude just now, he didn't seem to be furious, nor did he want to kill Ran Xiaoyu. He just asked the imperial concubine to handle the matter.
Isn't this an intentional cover-up?
This was a complete subversion of the image of the Emperor, who was already familiar to them, and who came from a military background and enforced the law with strict discipline.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.
Nan Yan could only watch Zhu Feng walk towards the wing room. She sighed deeply, then walked over to Yang Dai and said, "The Emperor is going to look after the people that Yi You and the others brought back. You should also go over and keep an eye on them. Make sure nothing unexpected happens."
When Yang Dai heard this, she kowtowed and said, "Yes."
After saying that, he stood up and followed.
Nan Yan asked the steward to stand up again and said, "Take me over to have a look."
The steward said, "Madam, the fire over there has just been put out, it's still hot."
"It's okay. It's winter, how hot can it get?"
"yes."
So the manager took Nan Yan along the winding path and walked to the kitchen. As expected, as soon as they got close, they smelled a hot smell of smoke and the air was full of the smell of burnt things.
The black smoke was still billowing upwards.
In the smoke, some people had dry mouths and kept coughing, and some even had hoarse voices.
Upon seeing this, Nan Yan also frowned.
Asked: "Where's Xiaoyu?"
The steward raised his head, looked around, and said, "Miss Xiaoyu, I think I saw her here just now. Miss Xiaoyu, Miss Xiaoyu!"
Just after calling twice, I heard a hoarse voice from the side -
"My Lady."
