"I've been thinking about it for the past few days. The people of Jane's family don't have any enemies, so how could they suffer such a tragedy."
"..."
"The only possibility is—"
"What is it?"
"He took it from the ship."
Zhu Feng frowned, and there were a few faint lines between the brows, but under the light of the flickering candlelight, they appeared a little deeper.
Nan Yan said: "Although I don't know what it is, but he used his identity as a negotiator for King Ning to board the ship, and abandoned his identity as a gentleman to steal from the mysterious ship owner. The thing that is going, it must be very important."
Zhu Feng was silent for a while before he said, "I also want to know what that is."
"..."
"That's why, this time, King Ning will be kept until now."
Nan Yan's heart trembled slightly, and she looked up at him.
Zhu Feng said: "There are many things I want to ask him."
"..."
"This is also one of them."
For some reason, his words, and the sudden flash of light in his eyes at this moment, made Nan Yan feel a little uneasy.
She subconsciously asked: "Your Majesty, what else do you want to ask him?"
"..."
Zhu Feng glanced at her, but said nothing.
And just when the two fell silent, Ran Xiaoyu walked in.
Like those people, she didn't go in directly, but just stood at the door and said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, everything has been tidied up outside."
The turmoil just now almost demolished the mourning hall of Jian's family.
Therefore, Zhu Feng asked those officials to arrest those who came to make trouble, and at the same time asked Ran Xiaoyu to lead some people to reorganize the mourning hall of Jian's family.
Zhu Feng said: "Let people stay here, and no one else is allowed to come in."
"yes."
After everything was settled, Zhu Feng looked down at her again.
"We, it's time to go back."
"..."
Nan Yan nodded, without saying anything, she leaned on the armrest and was about to stand up, but a dull pain in her ankle made her fall back to her seat.
"Well!"
Seeing her appearance, Zhu Feng frowned, squatted down hastily, and held her ankles.
Nan Yan suddenly became a little anxious, and wanted to pull it back, but he held it tightly and didn't let go. She lifted the corner of her clothes and looked, only to find that in the chaos before, her ankles and knees were kicked. I kept holding back, but now it's swollen.
Zhu Feng frowned into a knot: "Why didn't you say it?"
"..."
Nan Yan bit her lower lip, but still did not speak.
Zhu Feng let out a heavy breath.
He didn't say anything more, but stretched out his hand and hugged her directly.
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat, but seeing his resolute chin and cold eyes, she didn't refuse any more, she just leaned against his arms and lowered her head.
Zhu Feng walked out with her in his arms.
After they walked out, the already empty house returned to calm once again.
However, in the deep night, there is a pair of eyes deeper than the night, but they have been following them.
Until that figure disappeared into the night.
The thin figure also turned around slowly, blending into the night.
Everything has returned to silence.
|
The carriage drove into a long corridor, and the palace gate was in front of it.
Ran Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
The people around him also breathed a sigh of relief.
Too many thrilling things happened tonight. Although the assassin missed his shot, it was inevitable that he would not return. Therefore, a large number of people were sent to escort the emperor and the noble concubine back to the palace.
Finally, he returned to the palace without any danger.
She looked back at the carriage with the doors and windows closed.
Although before, when the turmoil occurred in the mourning hall, the emperor suddenly appeared and rescued the concubine, which really moved them. She even thought that the relationship between these two people might be eased since the cold war in Crane City.
However, looking at their expressions, it seems that they are not.
Along the way, she sat outside, listening to the sound of the wheels bumping on the ground, and wanted to hear the sound inside the carriage, but she couldn't hear it.
They seem to be talking, but also seem to have been silent.
Finally, the palace gate opened.
To my surprise, I saw several figures at the gate of the palace.
It was Empress Xu Miaoyin, and Zhongshu Sheng Zuocheng Heyi, they were standing under the steps and looking at this side, obviously they had received news from the outside, and they came here specially to welcome them.
The carriage stopped, and Zhu Feng immediately got out of the carriage.
"emperor!"
Xu Miaoyin stepped forward and saw bloody cloth wrapped around his arm at a glance, and said in shock: "The emperor is injured!"
Zhu Feng looked down and said lightly, "No problem, just a small injury."
At this moment, Ran Xiaoyu also helped Nanyan get off the carriage, and seeing that she was not standing still, Xu Miaoyin said, "Is the concubine also injured?"
Nan Yan hurriedly said: "Thank you, Empress Empress, for remembering me, my concubine is fine."
Seeing that their calibers were similar, Xu Miaoyin's heart was like a mirror, so she didn't say much.
Zhu Feng said: "Heyi."
He Yi had been standing silently on the side, and only now took a step forward: "The minister is here."
"Has the Dali Temple been dealt with?"
"The emperor means—"
"King Ning."
He Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "The trial is still going on at Dali Temple."
"Ning Wang's injury, is it healed?"
He was referring to the wound on King Ning's throat before, which was the same as when Nanyan fell into the sea before. It was almost life-threatening, and he was still unable to speak.
He Yi said: "It hasn't fully recovered."
"In other words, part of it has recovered."
"this-"
Zhu Feng glanced back at him: "I'm going to interrogate King Ning overnight."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around was startled.
Nan Yan suffocated slightly, turned to look at him, and He Yi frowned, and he said subconsciously: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid-"
Zhu Feng said coldly: "Heyi, and the queen, I know that you have something to do, and you have been hiding it from me."
"..."
After saying a word, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
From Heyi, to Xu Miaoyin, and even to Nanyan, everyone's expressions froze for a moment.
And Zhu Feng looked at them, but there seemed to be a needle-like thorn in his calm eyes, and said coldly: "But you have to understand one thing, I am the emperor."
"..."
"What I want to do and what I want to know are beyond your control."
He Yi and Xu Miaoyin immediately knelt down in fright.
"I don't dare."
"I dare not."
Although Nan Yan was already planning to turn around and return to Leng Gong, she also stopped at this moment, subconsciously saying: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng didn't look at her, but looked down at Xu Miaoyin and Heyi, his eyes were indifferent, and said: "It doesn't matter if you dare or not, but the current matter is no longer something you can manipulate or control."
After speaking, he turned and walked towards the imperial study room.
Far away, his words came from the night wind——
"Bring King Ning to me."
