"He didn't show up."
"..."
"At the same time, there was news that Jian's family had been wiped out. Wei Chen thought that maybe because he knew the news, he didn't attend the appointment."
Zhu Feng frowned, thought for a while and said, "What does he want to give you?"
"This, I don't know."
"Is there no clue at all? He didn't let him know?"
"..."
He Yi hesitated for a long time.
Because he has been wandering on the edge of power all year round, he is a very cautious person. If he is not fully sure, he will not express his suspicions and worries.
But this time—
He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "At that time, the news of King Ning's rebellion had already spread to the palace, and I was discussing with officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to eliminate King Ning's dark party in the court."
"Um."
"It's just that King Ning's power in the court is intricate. Except for some of his protégés on the surface, it is easier to deal with it. What's more difficult is that there are some people who are secretly attached to him."
"..."
"This group of people is the biggest hidden danger of the imperial court."
Zhu Feng frowned.
Indeed, this matter has always given him a headache.
Zhu Xuan is a very scheming person, his influence in the court is easy to understand on the surface, but some hidden troubles are not so easy to deal with.
He Yi said hesitantly: "At that time, Jian Ruocheng made an appointment to meet Wei Chen, it seemed that it was about this matter."
"..."
"It's just that because he didn't come to the appointment later, I don't know what happened to this matter."
Zhu Feng fell silent, but his brows tightened even more.
After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Then where is he now? Is there a whereabouts?"
He Yi shook his head and said: "Wei Chen also knows that since he made an appointment to meet Wei Chen, he must be in Beiping City, but he can hide his tracks, so it is difficult to find him. And now, something like this happened to the Jian family, the student We are all making trouble, so we have to be more careful about his matter, I'm afraid that if you don't pay attention, you will-"
When he said this, he glanced at Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng frowned even tighter.
He knew what Crane Yi meant.
The tragedy of Jian's family being exterminated has such a great impact, it is inevitable that no one will associate this matter with the fact that he threatened Jian Tongguang to exterminate his ten clans. He was dismissed because of his political discord, and later, he went to work in Prince Ning's Mansion.
Although, if it involves rebellion against the imperial court, it is only natural for him to punish Jian Ruocheng himself, but it would be too tragic for Jian's family to be wiped out. In addition, Jian Tongguang's status in the hearts of scholars, if someone really wants to instigate it, I'm afraid it will happen soon. cause another catastrophe.
Isn't Si Nanyan now—
Thinking of this, Zhu Feng only felt a little more entangled in his heart.
He Yi said: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng stretched out his hand and pinched the center of his brow, and then said: "Pass down the order so that Jin Yiwei will no longer have to deal with King Ning's affairs, and try his best to search for Jian Ruocheng's whereabouts. But remember, this matter must be kept secret and cannot be leaked."
"yes."
"Also," Zhu Feng took a deep breath and asked, "Then, what did you find out about the Jian family?"
This time, He Yi didn't answer him immediately.
Instead, she raised her head and looked at him with complicated eyes.
Zhu Feng said: "Huh?"
He Yi said: "The people of Dali Temple have already begun to investigate this matter, the preliminary files have been sorted out, and they will be sent to the emperor early tomorrow morning. It's just—"
"Just what?"
"Just now, there is no progress."
"No suspects caught?"
He Yi buried his head a little lower, and said: "After this incident happened, people from Dali Temple immediately dispatched, but the person who was caught was—"
"What is it?"
"It's someone sent by the emperor."
"..."
The atmosphere in the imperial study room fell into a momentary stagnation.
After a while, Zhu Feng said, "Oh."
He Yi said: "The people in Dali Temple haven't interrogated them yet, but because of the special case, when they were caught, they were witnessed by some ordinary people, so they can't be released for the time being. If the emperor—"
Zhu Feng said with a sullen face: "Do you think I want you to let them go?"
"..."
"Tell Dali Temple, trial, fair trial!"
Although he said "fair and aboveboard", he seemed to be gritting his teeth when he said these words, as if he was angry with someone.
He Yi hurriedly said: "Yes."
After speaking, he seemed to be relieved, and was about to turn around and leave when he heard Zhu Feng say, "Heyi."
He hurriedly stopped and turned around: "What other orders does the emperor have?"
Zhu Feng glanced at him and said, "During the time I was in Crane City, the old uncle Guo sent someone here, and my three cousins have also followed me back to Beiping."
"oh… "
When Zhu Feng spoke, he looked at him very carefully.
However, I don't know if it was because the light was too dark, but there didn't seem to be any fluctuations in expression on He Yi's face, and he just stood there calmly.
Zhu Feng said again: "You think of a way to arrange it for them."
"yes."
"Um."
"What other orders does the emperor have?"
"there is none left."
"Weichen will leave."
He Yi bowed his hands and saluted, then turned and walked out.
After walking out of the imperial study room and closing the door, he sighed, his face still expressionless, but Han Yue Rushuang cast his eyes slightly cold at the moment.
Zhu Feng sat quietly in the imperial study for a long time again.
I have been hearing outside, the sound of the midnight drum.
Xiao Shunzi cautiously reminded him that it was already so late, the emperor should also rest.
He didn't say anything, got up and walked out.
But he didn't go to his bedroom immediately, but with his hands behind his back, he paced slowly in the frosty moonlight of the place. Xiao Shunzi followed behind, watching him enter the harem.
However, the path is—
After a while, they walked outside a quiet palace.
Zhu Feng looked up and saw that it was Yikun Palace.
Ever since she knew Nan Yan's identity and asked her intentionally, she knew that she originally lived in this gorgeous and beautiful palace, but she had no memory, but she couldn't help but walk here with a blissful heart.
However, when he took another step forward, he stopped again.
Not to mention the closed gate of this Yikun Palace, there is not even a little light and no sound inside.
According to it, she just came back today, so the people inside should be very busy.
Xiao Shunzi followed behind him, seeing Zhu Feng frowned, he could only whisper, "Is the emperor looking for the imperial concubine?"
Zhu Feng asked, "Where is she?"
Xiao Shunzi lowered his head, as if he was afraid of provoking his anger, his voice became cautious, and he said: "After the imperial concubine returned to the palace, she didn't go back to Yikun Palace, but - she went to Leng Palace."
