Chapter 2568: Brilliant and Wonderful, So Smart and Almost a Demon
But who wouldn’t want the emperor to regain his memory?
Nan Yan said: "Your Majesty, then——"
Zhu Feng raised his hand to stop her from continuing and said calmly, "I have an idea about this matter."
Nan Yan seemed to have heard something.
He whispered, "Your Majesty, are you not in a hurry to arrest this man now?"
Zhu Feng said: "The most important thing right now is the matter of White Tiger City. Let's solve this matter first. As for the detoxification——"
“…”
"It's already come to this point, I'm not in a hurry anymore."
Nan Yan said softly, "But if this person is always here, then the Emperor's recovery of his memory might be hindered."
Zhu Feng smiled faintly and said, "It is precisely because of this person that I am not anxious."
"What's the meaning?"
"This person stole the medicine made by Xue Yun because he didn't want me to recover my memory. Obviously, my memory is related to this person, or in other words, there is a conflict of interest."
"Exactly."
"If that's the case, then having this person here is more effective than medicine."
“…”
Nan Yan listened, thought about it, and suddenly understood.
For people who have memory problems, isn't that more effective than medicine?
She immediately said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhu Feng smiled and glanced at her, saying, "Stop flattering me. Let's put this matter aside for now. I'll tell Xue Yun later to report the incident to Chen Zixiao. Just say that I was robbed and a pill was stolen. No need to elaborate further."
Nan Yan said, "I understand. I'll go over and explain it in person later."
The two of them took a few more bites and put down their bowls and chopsticks.
Although Nan Yan was very hungry, she had already felt embarrassed when her stomach growled just now. Seeing that Zhu Feng had finished eating, she refused to eat any more to avoid being ridiculed again.
Zhu Feng was also worried that she ate too much at night, stopped eating, and couldn't sleep well.
He didn't try to persuade her, but waved his hand and asked someone to take the dishes away.
The two of them walked to the chairs on the other side and sat down to drink tea.
Nan Yan took two sips, thought about it, and finally decided to tell Zhu Feng about her doubts, so she said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing——"
As she spoke, she turned her head away.
But Zhu Feng was holding a teacup in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, and he looked thoughtful.
But, his thoughts seemed to be interrupted by her words, and he looked up: "Huh? What's up?"
Nan Yan asked, "What is the emperor thinking about?"
"I? I was thinking about what Chen Zixiao and the others just said."
"What?"
"Tell me first, what do you want to tell me?"
"oh,"
Nan Yan thought for a moment, then said, "This isn't a big deal. It's just that when I went to Doctor Xue's room just now, I smelled a strong odor of medicine."
"Um?"
Zhu Feng frowned slightly: "She is an imperial physician and carries medicinal herbs with her, so the smell of medicine is naturally very strong."
"Of course, but the smell of medicine is unnaturally strong."
"How do you say that?"
"It's not the smell of ordinary medicinal herbs, but the smell of refined medicine."
"Didn't she also say that she was making medicine for me? It's just that the medicine was stolen."
"That's right."
Nan Yan said, "Although Doctor Xue said that she had been with the Emperor while he was inspecting the Yulian River the day before yesterday and had not returned all night, and that she had slept all day after returning yesterday, and only discovered the medicine had been stolen this morning, which means there were two full days in between, I believe the medicine was stolen when she left the Duwei Mansion while she was with the Emperor inspecting the Yulian River the day before yesterday."
"you say."
"The person who stole the medicine is most likely someone from the Duwei Mansion. The Emperor and I both agree on this. So it's impossible for this person to steal while Xue Yun is in the Duwei Mansion. She's just asleep, not dead. If he made any noise and startled her, wouldn't it be bad luck for him to see her?"
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "That makes sense."
"So, the medicine was most likely stolen when she left the day before yesterday. Since it was stolen the day before yesterday, and she returned yesterday, the smell of the medicine may still be there, but it's impossible for the smell of the medicine to be so strong today."
“…”
"this--"
Before she could finish, Zhu Feng said, "I know what you are going to say."
Nan Yan turned and looked at him.
Zhu Feng looked solemn, without much surprise on his face, but rather seemed very calm.
She immediately understood what was going on.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that the emperor has already made a plan in mind."
“…”
"It's still me who's meddling."
Zhu Feng smiled and glanced at her, saying, "It's not that you're nosy, it's just that I'm not that slow."
Nan Yan said, "Since Your Majesty knows this, you should have told me earlier, lest I feel so clever and tell you like I'm showing off my treasure, which would be a complete waste of effort."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "You are very smart, but you forgot one thing."
"What's up?"
"Don't think other people are too stupid."
“…”
"I've had much more contact with her than you have, so how could I not notice it?"
Nan Yan asked, "Did the Emperor see something about her—?"
Zhu Feng also turned his head and glanced at her: "What's on her?"
They looked at each other, their eyes flashing, and immediately, both of them seemed to understand something.
Zhu Feng said with a half-smile: "You don't have to lie to me. I didn't touch her."
“…”
"I haven't looked at her either."
Nan Yan said, "So, the emperor didn't see anything at all, and he only noticed it based on his interactions with her?"
"Um."
“…”
Nan Yan looked into his eyes, thought quietly for a while, then sighed deeply and said, "This time, I really feel that I am too stupid."
“…”
"Your Majesty is wise."
Zhu Feng smiled, ruffled her hair, and said, "Don't worry about it."
“…”
"I used to consider myself a smart person, but the older I get, the more I understand. In this world, there are always people better than you, and even if I am the Son of Heaven, there are still things I am inferior to."
As he spoke, his eyes flickered. Although he was looking at Nan Yan, it was as if his gaze saw through Nan Yan and saw something in the distance. He murmured, "There are always those people who are so brilliant and brilliant, so intelligent that they are almost demonic, and they are hard for the world to reach."
“…”
Hearing this, Nan Yan looked at him in surprise.
Zhu Feng's words clearly included himself in the scope of "the world".
Although Zhu Feng was proud as an emperor - of course, he did have the capital to be proud - he was never arrogant. He knew very well that everyone had their own limits, and even an emperor could not be truly all-encompassing and perfect.
But, he would suddenly say that there are people in this world who are "brilliant and brilliant, so wise that they are almost like monsters", and even he is not as good as them. So what are such people if not monsters?
Also, why are you talking about this suddenly?
Who is the one he described as "brilliant and brilliant, so wise that he is almost a demon"?
