"From now on, the emperor, can you not—don't kill so many people?"
Zhu Feng's breath immediately sank.
Then, he took a look around: "Are you trying to say that I shouldn't have killed all the people in Prince Jing's mansion?"
"..."
"Do you know that collaborating with the enemy and treason is an unforgivable crime!"
"But..." Nan Yan said cautiously: "It is impossible for all the people in Prince Jing's Mansion to be collaborators and traitors. Many of them are just from poor families, sold themselves as slaves, and work here."
"..."
"How could His Highness Prince Jing let everyone know about such a big event?"
"..."
"Your Majesty, some of them must be innocent."
Not even, not some.
The vast majority are innocent.
"So what?" Zhu Feng said coldly: "I don't have the time to interrogate each one of them. At this time, I would rather kill the wrong person than let them go!"
"..."
Nan Yan was frightened by his words of "I would rather kill the wrong one than let them go". After thinking for a while, she said softly: "Your Majesty, I really don't know much about important matters, but I am only worried about the Emperor."
"..."
"I'm worried that the emperor will be misunderstood by the people."
When Zhu Feng heard this, he looked at her coldly: "What's the misunderstanding?"
"..."
"Misunderstanding that I killed indiscriminately? Or, I was originally a tyrant?!"
As soon as she heard the word "tyrant", Nan Yan knew that he was angry, so she immediately closed her mouth and looked at him with some trepidation.
But Zhu Feng had already turned around and walked away.
Nan Yan bit her lower lip and stood on the spot, looking at the back of his sudden departure, she couldn't recover for a while.
I made him angry again.
Sure enough, shouldn't I say these words
However, what I said was really for his own benefit, and the matter of his bloodbath of Prince Jing's mansion must not be covered, and when the troubles broke out, rumors of his violent bloodthirsty would definitely spread among the people.
Besides, if he didn't tell himself, if he had something to say to him, would he listen
result-
Nan Yan looked aggrieved at the night where his back disappeared, and muttered softly: "You still didn't listen..."
Although she was wronged, she looked down at the brocade box in her hand and the key. She closed the brocade box carefully and carried it back in her arms.

The next day we left Yongzhou and headed back to Jinling.
Nan Yan squeezed into Jian Ruocheng and Li Bushang's carriage, Jian Ruocheng looked at her with some surprise: "The emperor didn't let you ride together?"
Nan Yan smiled awkwardly.
When she left the barracks and went to Prince Jing's mansion, she was still sitting in Zhu Feng's carriage, but now—
Jian Ruocheng looked at her with bright eyes, and said with a smile, "Are you making the emperor angry again?"
Li Bushang sat on the side, looked at Nanyan, and then at Jian Ruocheng.
Nan Yan smiled wryly and said, "Blame myself, talking too much."
"What did you say?"
"..."
Nan Yan told him what she said to Zhu Feng last night.
However, she didn't say that Zhu Feng handed Shang Baosi's key to her. She didn't want to share this kind of thing with anyone.
That is only your own.
After listening to her words, Jian Ruocheng pondered for a long time.
Nan Yan sighed, and said, "It's my fault that made the emperor angry."
Jian Ruocheng turned to look at her, and said with a smile: "Actually, I planned to discuss this matter with Master He Yi after returning to Jinling, to persuade the emperor."
"..."
"I didn't expect it, but you got ahead of me."
