Chapter 1082 "Others", it's time to leave
When their boat reached the shore, a group of people on the shore immediately came forward.
It was Empress Xu Miaoyin, who, with her guards, prostrated herself on the ground, saying, "Greetings to the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Zhu Feng stepped forward and helped her up from the ground.
Looking closely, tears welled up in Xu Miaoyin's eyes, and her expression was not as calm and indifferent as when she was in the palace. Instead, her haggard face revealed a hint of relief and excitement.
She said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I have finally waited for Your Majesty to return safely."
“…”
"The Emperor has finally returned safely."
“…”
It was not until he saw her like this that Zhu Feng reflected on his previous actions. He left the Holy Carriage and acted alone, although it was to regain his lost memories and to find the feeling that made him uneasy, but it was indeed not a responsible behavior.
As the queen, I'm afraid she has been unable to sleep or eat well these days.
Although he did not recover his memory, his feelings towards the queen also recovered a little since some of his senses gradually returned to him.
He sighed softly and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry to have made you worry."
Hearing his words, Xu Miaoyin was slightly stunned.
Ever since Zhu Feng was made to forget all his past by the effects of the Tai Shang Wang Qing drug, although he could still treat them peacefully, the kindness they had in the past had long been forgotten.
Therefore, he has always treated himself with respect but also with a sense of distance.
However, the words just now seemed to have some past emotions, and this kind of emotion has only been for Qin Ruolan since he woke up.
What happened?
She subconsciously looked around, only to see that the person following Zhu Feng was actually Si Nanyan.
Suddenly surprised: "expensive——"
Having said this, he immediately stopped.
She had not forgotten how much Zhu Feng reacted to the "Imperial Concubine". They had finally met, and she did not want to cause Zhu Feng discomfort immediately.
When Zhu Feng heard the unfinished words from her mouth, he turned around and looked at Nan Yan again.
A faint light shone through those deep eyes.
Xu Miaoyin said hurriedly, "No matter what, as long as the emperor returns safely, it's good. Your Majesty, I have set up camp with my men in the front and can temporarily settle them down. Your Majesty just came out from Changqing City, and these people are also injured. Let's settle them down first, and then we can talk in detail."
Zhu Feng nodded: "Yeah."
So, he led everyone forward.
As they walked along, Xu Miaoyin stayed by Zhu Feng's side without saying a word. However, her calm yet shrewd eyes noticed at a glance that Ran Xiaoyu was already holding Princess Xinping and following behind Si Nanyan. At the same time, she also saw Qin Ruolan's figure.
But he followed behind alone.
Even the two palace maids she took away disappeared.
In this situation, I'm afraid the situation is very dangerous.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that after getting off the boat, Zhu Feng's eyes never fell on her from beginning to end.
It's a familiar feeling.
For the past ten years or so, things had always been like this between Zhu Feng and her. Although after forgetting the past, it seemed to have eased a little, but now——
This familiar feeling is back.
Xu Miaoyin already understood something in her heart, but she said nothing and directly took Zhu Feng to their camp.
After leaving the river beach, there was a very large open space. Xu Miaoyin had people set up camp here, surrounded by fences, and stationed soldiers and horses to prevent anyone from approaching.
And in front, the largest tent was the one she prepared for Zhu Feng.
A group of people walked in.
Zhu Feng sat down and looked at the tent and the arrangements outside the tent. Although it was just an ordinary camp, the location and arrangement of the garrison were very skillful, like a military camp.
Zhu Feng said, "This camp is pretty good."
Xu Miaoyong stood aside and said softly, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."
"But why didn't you wait in a nearby town, but camped here?"
Xu Miaoyin glanced at Ye Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, when Ye Zheng left, I sensed a major battle was about to break out in Changqing City. If all my men followed, I'd be left with nothing to lose and wouldn't be able to fight Prince Ning. So, I had them stay here, guarding this river. They can advance south to Changqing City or retreat north along the canal. It's the most strategic location."
"Um."
Zhu Feng looked at her approvingly.
It seems that this queen did not become queen just by relying on her family background.
He said: "Fortunately, you stayed here this time."
"emperor……"
There wasn't much tenderness in Zhu Feng's words, but they had been married for more than ten years, and Xu Miaoyin understood the approval contained in his words, and her eyes turned slightly red.
At this time, Zhu Feng turned around and looked at Nan Yan again.
His voice softened unconsciously: "You, go and rest."
"ah."
Nan Yan immediately shook her head.
Although she knew that she could not help at this time, she had to know the full extent of the situation.
Zhu Feng glanced at her, but didn't force her to do anything. He just waved his hand and said, "Then, everyone else, please leave."
The people in the tent looked at each other subconsciously.
It was obvious that Zhu Feng was going to arrange how to deal with King Ning next, so those who had nothing to do with this matter, that is, "others", should step down.
Ran Xiaoyu held Xinping and the stunned Xiao Mingxin in her arms and retreated first.
Wen Ye and Li did not hurt them and asked their subordinates to retreat.
There were not many people left in the tent.
Xu Miaoyin was silent for a moment, then walked up to Qin Ruolan and said calmly, "Madam Qin, you've worked hard this time. Go down and rest first."
“…”
Qin Ruolan was originally standing aside, but at this moment, when he heard Xu Miaoyin's words, he suddenly seemed to wake up. He looked at Zhu Feng somewhat dejectedly, and then looked at Si Nanyan who was standing on the other side.
Finally, he slowly turned around and walked out.
As soon as she left, Ye Zheng said, "Your Majesty, are we going back to Peking now?"
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned.
Immediately, the atmosphere around became depressing.
According to everyone's thinking, since they have already reunited with the imperial carriage and have just experienced a fierce battle, what they should do now is to return to Peking immediately.
That is also the safest approach.
After all, the emperor's safety is the most important thing.
But Zhu Feng's silence made everyone suspicious.
Nan Yan looked at him and vaguely felt something.
Wen Ye took a step forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, what are your plans?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Even if we set off now, Prince Ning's troops will soon catch up. Returning to Beiping is not the best way."
"That--"
