Chapter 174 They are taking revenge on me!
When Nan Yan heard his words, her heart sank.
After serving as a female official beside Zhu Feng for so long, she understood the most important thing: even the emperor cannot do whatever he wants.
Otherwise, when Zhu Xuan asked him for the Yanyun fiefdom in the Imperial Garden, he wouldn't have been embarrassed. Even though he didn't want to, he still pretended to draft an imperial decree and asked her to bring the imperial seal. If he hadn't understood his intention that time and lied about losing the key to the Imperial Treasures Department, the Yanyun fiefdom would have really fallen into the hands of Prince Jing.
However, he had also offended Zhu Xuan.
Now, he is approaching Zhu Feng step by step, asking him to marry him to Tong Jie. His intention is despicable!
Nan Yan gritted her teeth as she looked at the faint sneer in Zhu Yan's eyes, as well as Madam Tong and the maids beside him, all of whom had smiles of triumph on their faces.
He, and they, are taking revenge on themselves!
At this moment, she could only look up at Zhu Feng.
Will he really marry himself to Tong Jie?
Zhu Feng sat in the front with his hands firmly placed on the armrests of the chair. Although everyone's eyes were as hot as fire at this moment, his eyes became even colder in such a scorching heat.
In fact, the chill froze the entire lobby.
Zhu Xuan looked at him and said loudly: "Royal brother——"
But before he could finish his words, a servant suddenly ran in from outside and shouted, "Your Highness Prince Jing, Your Highness Prince Jing, something terrible has happened!"
Everyone had originally focused their attention on them, but when they suddenly heard these words, they all raised their heads and all looked at the servant.
Zhu Xuan frowned: "What for?"
The attendant knelt on the ground, and then he saw Zhu Feng right in front of him. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty!"
Zhu Feng raised his hand coldly: "What's the big deal? Tell me."
The attendant, sweating profusely, trembled as he spoke, "Yue State...an army of 200,000...is invading our border..."
"What?!"
Zhu Xuan was shocked and angry, and stood up from the ground: "How dare they?!"
Tong Jie also showed an incredible expression on his face.
Nan Yan was about to collapse to the ground due to weakness. When she heard the news, her brows suddenly furrowed. She immediately looked up at Zhu Feng, and saw a cluster of flames suddenly leaping up in his cold and deep pupils.
The Yue State invaded with an army of 200,000?
Hadn't they invaded the border once before? Why are they coming again in such a short time?
Although they knew that there were always wars and chaos on the border and that the enemy country would not notify them in advance if they were to invade, according to previous practice, the Yue State had always only invaded the Great Yan Dynasty, and after looting property and people, they would rest for a period of time.
But this time, in such a short time, they actually raised an army again!
Zhu Yan and the others obviously didn't expect this, but the fear on his face seemed to have a hint of other emotions. Nan Yan only glanced at him, and before she had time to think about anything, she saw Zhu Feng suddenly stand up from the chair.
Everyone knelt down hurriedly: "Your Majesty!"
A faint smile appeared on his face, but there was no warmth in his hawk-like eyes. He said in a deep voice, "It seems that Prince Jing's accompanying me on hunting trips these past few days has been quite useful."
“…”
"My hands holding the sword and knife are finally not so stiff anymore."
