Zhu Feng was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth slightly, and said, "It's not just someone helping him."
"..."
"This man, every step of the way, is ahead of us."
After saying these words, the entire imperial study room fell into a cold silence.
In this world, it is not uncommon for someone to calculate people's hearts and figure out what others will do step by step. Most people in the officialdom have this ability.
However, it is not easy to do it one step ahead.
This person understands the affairs of the imperial court and the palace, knows every procedure of their work, and can intervene in it!
Compared to the past, King Jing rebelled, and King Ning rebelled. This time, the opponent they faced was stronger than before. If King Jing was powerful in battle and King Ning was careful at every step, then this person, the scheming city, and his energy, He is stronger than Prince Jing and Prince Ning combined.
He Yi saw that Zhu Feng's brows had already wrinkled into the word "Chuan". He hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. After careful consideration, I decided to report it to the Emperor."
Zhu Feng looked up at him: "What happened again?"
He Yi said: "It's not that something happened, it's just—"
"Um?"
"Nowadays, the public opinion in Beiping City is not very good."
"Public opinion? Are there any rumors?"
Public opinion, in the final analysis, is just some gossip and anecdotes passed down by the common people. Ordinary emperors seldom pay attention to this, but after all, Zhu Feng started as King Yan of Beiping. energy.
Their unity can make an ordinary city as strong as gold.
Their eccentricity will also turn a powerful dynasty into decline.
The right time and place are not as good as people.
Especially this Beiping is no longer an ordinary border town in the past, but has leapt from a border town to a national capital, and the thoughts and thoughts of the people here will become the wind direction of the entire Dayan Dynasty.
Once the wind direction is wrong, the dynasty will be unstable.
Although the words were brought up by He Yi, he hesitated for a while when he said this.
Zhu Feng looked at him: "Huh?"
He Yi hesitated again and again before taking a step forward, and said softly: "Recently, some gossip has been circulating among the common people. The two things are about King Ning."
"Which two things?"
"One is the death of King Ning, because that night, King Ning was suddenly poisoned and died during the emperor's interrogation, and the people didn't know the details, so they-"
Zhu Feng frowned, and immediately understood: "It is rumored that I killed King Ning?"
He Yi lowered his head, not daring to answer.
Zhu Feng's breath sank.
He had known for a long time that a few years ago, another brother, King Jing, rebelled on the border of Yongzhou. Fortunately, he was suppressed by himself, and King Jing himself was imprisoned. Unexpectedly, this time, King Ning rebelled again.
Brothers have fought against the wall twice.
This incident dealt him quite a blow, but he never expected that there would be even more vicious rumors spreading out.
Zhu Feng took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Then, what about the second thing?"
He Yi gritted his teeth and said, "The second thing is about—about the nonsense that King Ning spoke to the Emperor that night."
"..."
Zhu Feng's aura suddenly disappeared.
If just now, he was still brimming with anger, but at this time, there was no anger.
However, his gaze turned cold for an instant.
He Yi glanced at him cautiously, and then said: "People are stupid, they listen to wind and rain, so they don't need to pay too much attention to it, but these two things happened in the palace, and Dali Temple didn't file a case for trial, but It's spread like crazy among the people, so I'm worried—”
Zhu Feng said solemnly: "If it's not that there are ghosts in the palace, or someone already knew about these things and deliberately spread them?"
"yes."
Zhu Feng was quiet for a while, and said, "There are two possibilities."
"..."
"It seems that I have to think about it carefully."
He Yi looked at him in astonishment.
In the past few days, not only the matter of Jian's family, but also the matter of King Ning kept him awake at night. In fact, what worried him most was Zhu Feng.
He was worried that he would fall into chaos because of King Ning's words, forcing them to use Taishang Wangqing on him again.
Surprisingly, Zhu Feng was so calm.
It seemed that the gods gave him some panacea, which made him become normal all of a sudden.

Xu Miaoyin, who was standing outside the imperial study room, listened to the voices of Zhu Feng and He Yi discussing inside, stopped for a while, then turned and walked towards the harem.
Mr. Yu said fairly: "Your Majesty, won't you go in and see the Emperor?"
"No need."
Xu Miaoyin was a little worried at first, but at this time, the worries between her eyebrows were dispelled a lot, and her expression became a little more relaxed, and she said: "With Mr. Heyi here, I can rest assured."
"Yes."
"Just guard here carefully. If the emperor has other situations, report to me immediately."
"yes."
Eunuch Yu stayed at the door of the imperial study room and saluted Xu Miaoyin's back.
After walking for a while, Chun'er suddenly said, "Ma'am, isn't this the way back to Yonghe Palace?"
Xu Miaoyin walked in front without looking back: "I want to visit Lenggong."
Chun'er immediately understood: "Your Majesty, do you want to see the imperial concubine?"
"Um."
While talking, they had already reached the door of the cold palace.
Usually, if the queen wants to explain something, she seldom goes to such a pickled place in person. She always asks Chun'er, Bihe, or Xiaomenzi to come over and say something. If she comes in person, she must let them prepare in advance.
But today, no.
Therefore, no mother came up to greet her.
Pushing open the door, one can see the desolation inside, with withered trees and flowers, and the corner of the wall facing the snow and rotting dead leaves, it looks dead silent.
Xu Miaoyin walked forward calmly, and after a while, she came to the gate of a small courtyard.
Although the surrounding environment is very poor, this small courtyard looks very clean. Naturally, it is because of the special situation of the imperial concubine, and the nuns in the cold palace did not dare to neglect her. In addition, she had greeted her before, although the environment is not as good as the one where the concubine lives. The place, but it will not let her suffer.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Ran Xiaoyu coming out from inside, and when he saw her, he immediately saluted: "Empress Empress!"
Xu Miaoyin nodded and walked into the room.
Nan Yan was originally resting on the couch, but when she heard Ran Xiaoyu's voice, she hurriedly got up and saw Xu Miaoyin walking in, she was also a little surprised: "Empress?"
Xu Miaoyin smiled: "Concubine, long time no see."
As he said that, he turned to look at the bed on the other side.
But I saw that the mattress and quilt cover were all removed, apparently to be washed.
She smiled: "I heard that the emperor came here last night?"
