The rain is still falling.
Zhu Feng was sitting in the imperial study, looking at a copybook that had just been delivered. There were only a few words on it, but he had been reading it over and over for a quarter of an hour.
Eunuch Yu on the side just watched and didn't dare to say anything.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Eunuch Yu listened, and hurried out, and sure enough, he saw the newly conferred Concubine Ning arrive in full dress, with two maids behind her protecting her.
Eunuch Yu made a little smile: "This servant pays homage to Concubine Ning."
Feng Qianyan looked at him with a smile: "Eunuch Yu, can I go in and see the emperor?"
Eunuch Yu smiled: "Your Majesty is right. These days, the Emperor stays in Jianfu Palace every night, and he always lets Your Majesty accompany him on weekdays. With such honor and favor, there is no need to ask your servants. Your Majesty, please."
After speaking, he made a gesture.
Feng Qianyan walked in with her head held high.
As soon as he walked into the imperial study room and saw Zhu Feng sitting behind the table, Feng Qianyan immediately knelt down and said, "My concubine pays homage to the emperor."
Zhu Feng immediately put down the notebook in his hand: "You, are you back?"
"yes."
Feng Qianyan got up, made a little smile, and said: "The concubine has already given all the clothes to the imperial concubine."
"Oh, she—" At this point, Zhu Feng hesitated for a moment, and his face became indifferent again. He picked up the booklet and looked at it, and said casually: "She, I'm afraid she still has resentment in her heart."
Feng Qianyan immediately smiled and said, "Well, not really."
"oh?"
"The imperial concubine didn't hold any resentment towards the emperor, on the contrary—"
"What is it instead?"
Feng Qianyan hesitated for a while, then smiled, and said: "Well, this concubine knows very little about the thoughts of the imperial concubine, and I dare not speculate at will."
"..."
"I'm afraid, the emperor will have to go and have a look in person to find out."
Hearing this sentence, Eunuch Yu and the others on the side immediately showed a look of astonishment.
You know, everyone in the palace is also very clear that it is because the noble concubine fell out of favor that she got the opportunity to serve and canonize. Logically speaking, she should be very taboo about the emperor having any ties with the noble concubine. Now, she actually let Zhu Feng Go to Lenggong to visit the imperial concubine
How can this be
She is so kind
Zhu Feng's gaze also flickered: "You let me see her?"
Feng Qianyan smiled and said: "I think that the imperial concubine has just had a miscarriage and her body is weak, so she is in the cold palace like this, it is indeed a bit—"
"..."
"Besides, although she hugged Jian Ruocheng in public, there may be a reason for the incident. The emperor shouldn't just put her in the cold palace like this, and should check it out more."
"Hug hug hug", these four words made Zhu Feng's breath sink again.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Feng Qianyan for a while.
Then he said: "Okay, you have just been canonized today, and you went to the Leng Palace again, you must be tired too. Go down."
"Yes, my concubine is retiring."
Feng Qianyan saluted him respectfully, then turned and retreated.
When she withdrew, Eunuch Yu who was standing by the side hesitated, but still boldly took a step forward, and said softly: "Your Majesty—"
But before he finished speaking, Zhu Feng frowned and interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
He could only shut his mouth and backed away again.
Zhu Feng sat in the chair with a gloomy expression. Several times, his hands were on the armrest of the chair, as if he was about to stand up, but he hesitated for a while, but he didn't move.
Eunuch Yu looked at him suspiciously.
After a while, a young man dressed in brocade came in from the outside. He was about 20 years old. Although he is not tall, his every move seems to be clean and neat, and he looks very vigorous.
He is Bian Xingyun, one of the four commanders of Jinyiwei.
He respectfully said: "My respects to the emperor."
Seeing him, Zhu Feng's expression froze slightly and he became quiet.
"You came."
"Weichen came here to report. In Daci'en Temple, except for the Chong'en Pagoda, all the places have been cleaned up."
Zhu Feng took the document he presented, looked at it, nodded and said, "Very good, tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony will be held as scheduled."
"yes."
Bian Xingyun is a very neat person, after receiving the order, he immediately bowed and left without a word of nonsense.
Meanwhile, Eunuch Yu was taken aback.
Tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony
He has been with Zhu Feng for the past few days, but he doesn't know it at all!
Looking at Zhu Feng again, his face was the same as before, with a cold expression, only the spark in his eyes was warm.
In this way, he looked a bit like when he was still in Qiandi, he was frustrated several times, but he was inspired to fight instead.
Feeling that he was looking at him, Zhu Feng ordered lightly: "Yufu, prepare to go out tomorrow."
Eunuch Yu hurriedly said: "Yes!"

The next day, the sky miraculously cleared.
When the clouds through which the sun had not been seen for several days shone on the broken walls and rubble after the Chong'en Pagoda collapsed, Zhu Feng had already arrived in front of the Chong'en Pagoda. Under everyone's gaze, He raised the incense candle and continued the sacrifice that was interrupted before.
This sacrificial ceremony was much smaller in scale than the previous grand opening ceremony of Chong'en Pagoda.
However, there are quite a few people discussing it.
Originally, the opening ceremony of the Great Sacrificial Altar was caused by a fire in Chong'en Pagoda, and the emperor's life and death were in danger, the whole city of Jinling was full of ups and downs. Without royal blood, but forcibly sacrificed, and was punished by Zhu's ancestors.
But today, the emperor actually appeared again.
Therefore, he did not die in that fire!
At this time, in every teahouse and restaurant, an "insider" appeared, describing the sacrificial scene vividly, as if he himself was present, and the people around listened with gusto.
Someone asked: "The emperor is really all right? But the fire that day—how could it be all right?"
"yes,"
Someone next to him echoed: "We all saw the fire."
"Don't say you saw it. Most of Jinling City has seen it. The entire tower was burned down like this. How could the people inside survive?"
"You are talking about ordinary people, is the emperor an ordinary person?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless.
Someone sighed softly: "Yes, the real dragon emperor, how can ordinary people be able to reach it."
"Such a big fire can survive. I can only say that it is really the first emperor, and the blessing of the first empress Chen."
"It seems that the previous rumors were wrong."
"I was dubious before, but now I believe it. Only the true dragon emperor can have such divine power!"
