Chapter 1803 Pregnancy is stupid for three years
When I walked out of the East and West Hall gates, there were still people coming and going. Many people came to see the doctor and then left with the medicine they had prepared.
Nan Yan looked back again.
Feeling the hand he was holding sink, Zhu Feng turned around and saw Nan Yan still standing there, staring at the East Hall in a daze, so he pulled her hand again.
"Let's go."
"oh oh."
Nan Yan came to her senses and was led out by him.
It was already near noon, and naturally there were people coming and going on the street. As soon as Nan Yan went out, she saw a few familiar faces in the crowd, which flashed by.
It was the Jinyiwei who came out with them and had been guarding in secret.
In fact, with Zhu Feng around, she no longer has to worry at all.
The two walked forward for a while, and Nan Yan found that Zhu Feng had been silent. He seemed to be still thinking about what Xue Yun had just said, so she said softly: "Emperor——"
Before she could finish her words, Zhu Feng reacted quickly and immediately turned around to look at her.
"ah."
Nan Yan suddenly came to her senses.
Although there are no other people here, there are many pedestrians on the road, and it is inevitable that someone will pass by and overhear a few words, so complete safety cannot be guaranteed here.
Nan Yan immediately changed her words: "Husband."
Zhu Feng's lips curled up slightly, a hint of smile in his eyes: "Yeah."
Nan Yan asked, "My husband, are you still thinking about what Master Xue Yun just said?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Still turning around and continuing to walk forward, he said, "What do you think I'm thinking about what he said?"
"Well--"
Nan Yan was suddenly speechless.
Of course she knew that regarding the "Marrow Cleansing Flower", or in other words, Zhu Feng's amnesia, everyone was very secretive about it. Even He Yi was cautious about the matter.
After all, Zhu Feng is the emperor.
He went berserk and was determined not to just kill one or two people in front of him.
They have seen too many examples of tyrants’ deeds throughout dynasties in history books.
And the ending for these people is usually not good.
Nan Yan seemed to be afraid of provoking him. Not only did she not dare to speak, she didn't even dare to breathe. She just lowered her head and let his hand hold hers as they walked forward.
Just like keeping an obedient dog.
Feeling that the people behind him had suddenly quieted down, Zhu Feng turned around to look at her and saw that she had a submissive look on her face.
Indeed, everyone looks like this when they mention their amnesia.
He was too lazy to say more. Some things he probably had to face alone.
However, he still remembered that moment just now, when the fire of karma in his heart was about to burn the strings of rationality in his brain, it was this little woman's hand. It was because she grabbed him that gave him a glimmer of clarity.
It also allowed me to regain a bit of sanity.
This feeling is somewhat familiar, as if it has happened before.
He looked at her again.
Then he said calmly, "Did Xue Ling tell you about what Xue Yun just said?"
Nan Yan shook her head: "No."
She also felt relieved.
Zhu Feng was willing to talk about Xue Ling and the others, and letting go of the marrow cleansing flower was considered to be letting her off the hook.
Zhu Feng frowned slightly after hearing her words and continued walking forward, saying as he walked, "She gave you the clues not just to get you to find the antidote, but especially by giving you Xue Yun's name, she naturally intended to let you know about her past, especially her connection with the Sand Bandits."
"What's her connection to the Sand Bandits?"
Nan Yan was a little stunned when she heard this: "What kind of connection could she have with the Sand Bandits?"
Zhu Feng turned around and glanced at her again, his eyes looking at her as if he was looking at an idiot. Nan Yan was confused by his gaze and asked, "What?"
Zhu Feng shook his head.
He continued to walk forward with her, muttering, "Pregnancy makes people stupid for three years. It's true."
Although Nan Yan had been overwhelmed by many things recently and her brain wasn't working very well, her ears were very sharp. When she heard this, she immediately grabbed his hand and gently pinched the back of his hand with her fingernails: "What?"
Zhu Feng looked back at her with a half-smile.
Then he said, "Of course she has a connection with the Sand Bandits."
"Why?"
"She is helping the Sand Bandits right now. Otherwise, why do you think she shot Ye Zheng with a poison arrow and deceived so many of us?"
When this was mentioned, Ran Xiaoyu, who was following behind him, looked gloomy.
He snorted coldly.
No matter how tragic the love story she had just heard was, for her, the fact that the protagonist of the story shot Ye Zheng with a poisoned arrow was enough.
Nan Yan looked back at her to comfort her.
Then he turned to Zhu Feng and said, "But isn't it obvious that she was originally working for the Sand Bandits and was lurking in our Duwei Mansion. Why would she have to come all the way here to listen to this inexplicable story?"
Zhu Feng shook his head: "This matter is not inexplicable."
“…”
"She was telling us that she was doing this for one person."
“…”
Nan Yan paused for a moment.
He immediately came to his senses: "Ji Santing?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her with a smile: "Not stupid."
Nan Yan hurriedly asked, "But, what on earth is going on?"
Zhu Feng said, "Ji San stopped at the Hot Moon Crescent. That Xue Ling was willing to be controlled by the Sand Bandits and did so many things for him."
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, but she couldn't figure it out: "How do you know?"
Zhu Feng said, "Xue Yun said that he arranged for them to elope the day before Xue Ling's wedding. Considering that the elders in their family already knew that Xue Ling was in love with Ji Santing, how could they not be on guard against this tactic?"
“…”
"Besides, look at the Xue family—"
As they spoke, the two of them turned around and looked towards the East and West Halls.
They also knew that the Xue family was located in the center of the city. Normally, when bandits came to plunder the city, they would only plunder the edge of the city and leave, and would never go deep into the city.
Because the deeper they go, the harder it is for them to evacuate.
Moreover, they had not noticed it before, but now after going in and coming out, they all realized that although the interior of the Xue family's house was pleasant with small bridges and flowing water, the guards inside were very strict. With Zhu Feng's keenness, he had even observed several unknown sentries.
He said, "The Sand Bandits have been here for so long, how could they not know that the Xue family is a wealthy family in the city? They can afford to form a militia to protect Bailong City, so the Xue family's own defenses are naturally ten times stricter."
“…”
"If they weren't stupid, they wouldn't come in here."
Nan Yan frowned: "Then, that night——"
Zhu Feng said, "That night, someone took advantage of the Sand Bandits' attack to deal with Ji Santing."
