Qin Ruolan glanced at him carefully again, and said, "It's just—"
Zhu Feng gritted his teeth: "Just what?"
"It's just that after he was dismissed from office a few days ago, he has been disappearing. At first, everyone thought that he would never set foot in the officialdom again, but unexpectedly, he actually came under King Ning's command."
"What?"
Qin Ruolan said softly: "Of course, this is also - a good bird chooses a tree to live in."
Although the words are good, but a "confidant" who was dismissed by himself turned around and voted under the command of King Ning. Moreover, King Ning has now openly rebelled. To Zhu Feng's ears, these words are already very It's not the taste anymore.
He gritted his teeth faintly.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Why was he dismissed from office?"
"this-"
Qin Ruolan had a troubled expression on his face, he didn't speak immediately, but lowered his head.
Zhu Feng looked at her with a frown, and there was even more gloom in his eyes.
"Why, can't you tell me?"
"No, it's not."
"Then why are you hesitating?"
"It's just that this matter—it involves a noble concubine, so—"
"Concubine?"
Although now, hearing the word "imperial concubine" is no longer the same as in the past, he would have a splitting headache, and then his mind would go blank, but now, Zhu Feng seems to prefer to have a headache himself.
Because among the reasons why Jian Ruocheng was dismissed from office, if one of the reasons was the imperial concubine, then I'm afraid-
He gritted his teeth: "Why?"
Qin Ruolan lowered her head and said softly: "Before, when the emperor took the concubine and concubines on the way from Beiping to Jinlou Bieyuan, the concubine almost fell down."
"Nearly fell? What does that have to do with him?"
"this-"
Qin Ruolan's eyes flickered, and he said hesitantly: "Although my concubine was present, I didn't see it clearly. I just remember that the second son Jian was very close to the imperial concubine at that time."
"..."
"As a result, the emperor dismissed him on the spot and drove him away."
"..."
"I don't know if it's because he failed to support the imperial concubine."
"...!"
Zhu Feng's breath suddenly became very heavy.
Jian Ruocheng, Si Nanyan!
Between the two of them—
How could an ordinary official get close to the noble concubine? Even if he didn't support the noble concubine, it was the fault of the maids and eunuchs who served around him. How could he blame a courtier himself!
Just thinking about it like this made him burn with anger, wishing he could kill him.
But at that time, I didn't kill him, but just dismissed him from office.
Unexpectedly, after being dismissed from office, he immediately went to seek refuge with King Ning, and not long after, King Ning publicly rebelled against him. The reason for this is self-evident.
The second son of Jian, Jian Ruocheng.
It's no wonder that whenever I think of Jian Ruocheng, I feel very contradictory in my heart, wishing to kill him, probably because deep in my memory, there is still resentment towards their relationship.
What a Jane Ruocheng!
What a Si Nanyan!
He clenched his fists tightly, and felt the stinging pain from his nails piercing his flesh in his palms.
He thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Qin Ruolan seriously, and said, "Is everything you said true?"
This sentence also made Qin Ruolan feel a little tingling.
Her face was pale, but with her head lowered, she could only see her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if feeling uneasy at the moment, she said softly: "This matter is of great importance, I dare not bully the king. What the concubine said just now, the emperor can If you ask anyone, the concubine has absolutely nothing to say."
Zhu Feng took another serious look at her.
At this moment, there was a loud noise in the distance, which was earth-shattering.
Both of them were startled, Qin Ruolan let out a low cry of fright, and rushed to Zhu Feng's side all of a sudden: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Zhu Feng only glanced at her.
However, the initial panic quickly faded from his eyes, and he immediately regained his composure, only to see a few attendants running over in a hurry.
"emperor!"
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "Ning Wang's men have arrived?"
"Yes! It's already outside the city."
As soon as they heard the news from the flying horse outside, they immediately came in to report.
Zhu Feng glanced forward: "Come on, hurry up."
The attendant hurriedly said: "As soon as the rebel army arrived, they immediately began to attack the city. Lord Wen has already led the army to resist at the city gate."
"Um."
Zhu Feng nodded lightly.
Zhu Xuan's eagerness was not beyond his expectations.
After all, his rebellion is only successful if he catches himself and kills himself, otherwise—
Several attendants looked at Zhu Feng cautiously: "Your Majesty, what is your intention?"
Those who are familiar with him know that he has guarded Beiping for more than ten years, and he has personally fought against the enemy in every battle, never ambiguously, but this time, there are not many people in Crane City, and everyone is very afraid that he will "royal conquest" At that time, I am afraid that all the troops will not be enough to protect him.
But Zhu Feng said indifferently: "It's nothing."
"ah?"
"After the battle is over, let Wen Ye come to see me."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards Liuhe Hall.
The attendants were stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he was very relieved of Wen Ye, and he didn't even let them report the battle situation at any time.
So, he turned around and left immediately.
Qin Ruolan stood where she was, looking at Zhu Feng's leaving back, feeling conflicted and pained in her heart.
After a while, she murmured, "I, I am not wrong."
"..."
"I didn't lie to him, I told the truth."
"..."
"I just want him to come back to me, and I—I'm not wrong."
After finishing speaking, he left in a daze.

The sky gradually darkened.
The offensive outside the city gate also gradually weakened.
Wen Ye stood on the tower, watching the exhausted soldiers below the tower gradually withdraw from the battle circle after attacking for half a day, and the city was in a mess, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, I survived this one.
In fact, compared to the battles he fought with Zhu Feng and the people of the country in the past, today's battle is just a small scene. Even King Ning and his subordinates are not good at attacking cities, so the casualties in this battle are not counted. many.
only-
He walked down the tower slowly, and saw many broken parts on the city gate.
Although their offensive was not as strong as that of Tan Kingdom's siege, Crane City was obviously not as strong as Beiping City.
Today's game can be carried through.
Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I can carry it down.
But how long can it last
He was silent for a while, then turned his head to look around. The wounded soldiers immediately ordered: "Let everyone heal and rest quickly, recharge your batteries, and prepare for tomorrow's battle."
"yes."
At this time, several attendants came forward: "Master Wen, the emperor asked you to meet him in the other garden."
"oh?"
Wen Ye thought for a while and made arrangements to let his deputy general lead the troops to guard the city to prevent King Ning's troops from counterattacking at night. go.
