Zhu Feng was sitting in the study, finishing reading the last memorial for today.
He put down his pen, reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose.
At this time, Ye Zheng walked in, brewed a cup of tea and put it in his hand.
Because Xiao Shunzi was "hijacked" and brought Nanyan to the North City Gate, he was so frightened afterward that he didn't dare to see the emperor for a few days, for fear that Zhu Feng would drag him down and beat him to death if he got upset.
So, call in sick.
Ye Zheng followed him every day, dealing with trivial matters, fortunately, he was used to doing it over the years, and he was not unfamiliar at all.
Zhu Feng took a sip of tea and asked, "How is the north side?"
Ye Zheng hurriedly said: "The army of the Kingdom of Tan has completely retreated. The lower officials sent people to check the place where they camped before, and the stove is useless."
Zhu Feng nodded.
"What about the reward?"
"It's all sent out, and all the lieutenant soldiers are rejoicing."
"Also remember that the common people in Beiping City are exempted from corvee labor for half a year."
"yes."
"There are also a few lieutenants. I see that they have made great achievements in killing the enemy and can be promoted. Go back and ask them to draw up a note."
"yes."
While Ye Zheng answered, he cleaned up the pen and ink on the table, and Zhu Feng also got up and walked to the window, looking at the white snow outside.
This is the winter he is familiar with.
After packing up everything, Ye Zheng walked up behind him again, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I checked in the city about the pigeons received by the lady officer, but there is no clue."
"..."
"It should have come in from the outside."
Zhu Feng's breath sank.
Actually, I already guessed it.
The reason why he was asked to check in the city was just to rule it out. Now it seems that the clues point directly to the country.
Someone was secretly sending a message to Si Nanyan.
Judging from the fact that Ari Sillan went to the Si family to look for clues about Yuxi before, the Si family still has some secrets.
It's even possible that they don't even know it.
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, and said: "Release the news, let us check this matter with our eyeliners in the country."
Ye Zheng immediately said: "Yes."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Just when he was about to walk to the door, Zhu Feng suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Ye Zheng stopped and looked at him.
Zhu Feng thought for a while, and said, "Let your subordinates also go and investigate Nan Yan's life experience."
Ye Zheng was slightly taken aback.
Zhu Feng said: "She has never had a mother by her side since she was a child, and in fact, she has always been very bitter in her heart."
"..."
"If she can help her find her mother, if her mother is still alive, it will be a kind of comfort to her."
A little smile floated on Ye Zheng's face.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Feng would have such a tender moment.
Zhu Feng turned his head to look at him, and immediately his face darkened: "What are you laughing at?"
"Ahem, no, nothing."
Ye Zheng was so frightened that he hastily straightened his face, and then said: "But your majesty, it was already twenty years ago, and Si Zhongwen has passed away. It might not be very easy to investigate again. "
Zhu Feng said: "So don't let her know about this."
"..."
"In case she can't find out in time, she will feel sad."
"..."
Ye Zheng let out an "oh" in his heart.
In fact, just now, he himself was worried that he would be punished if the emperor failed to handle the matter, but what Zhu Feng thought in his heart was that if the matter could not be found out, Nan Yan would be disappointed and sad.
What the two of them thought was not the same thing at all.
Ye Zheng expressed his sadness.
The emperor and himself are not of one mind.
