At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"emperor."
Hearing this voice, it was Gu Tingqiu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry.
Ye Zheng immediately turned his head to look at Zhu Feng again, only to see him say more calmly: "Come in.
Gu Tingqiu came in from the outside.
Ye Zheng took a special look at him, he knew that Gu Tingqiu was the uncle of the noble concubine, and because of the relationship of the noble concubine, he was highly valued by the emperor and has been supervising the construction of Beiping City.
What is he going to do this time
"What is it?"
"Your Majesty, this is the progress of the construction of the new city these days. I have specially prepared it and showed it to the Emperor."
"Take it here."
Xiao Shunzi walked over immediately, took the document from Gu Tingqiu's hand, and presented it to Zhu Feng.
He picked it up, flipped through it for a while, then nodded.
"You did very well."
"..."
"There is no problem with the construction of the new city now, right?"
"Just one thing."
"What?"
"Before, some bandits appeared in Henan Road, robbing passing merchants, and, once or twice, affected the construction of the new city."
Zhu Feng frowned: "Didn't I already order the Hedao Chief Envoy to handle this matter?"
Gu Tingqiu hurriedly said: "I also know that Duke Ding has sent troops to attack that group of bandits."
"So what?"
"It's just that I heard that the gang of bandits was not completely wiped out, but dispersed."
"..."
"In recent days, there seems to be news that they are gathering again."
Zhu Feng said: "You mean, those bandits gathered near Henan Road again?"
"It seems so."
"What do they want to do?"
"This, I don't know for the time being. I just think that the construction of the new city can no longer be affected in any way."
Zhu Feng pondered for a while, and then said, "Ye Zheng."
Ye Zheng immediately took a step forward: "The minister is here."
"This matter is left to you and Xu Shifeng."
"The minister obeys the order."
After Ye Zheng received the order, he was about to turn around and go out, when he heard Zhu Feng say to Gu Tingqiu: "You are meticulous in thinking and serious in doing things, very good."
Gu Tingqiu leaned over and said: "The emperor entrusts a minister with a heavy responsibility, and the minister cannot repay even a single drop."
Zhu Feng nodded: "Go down and do things well."
However, Gu Tingqiu did not leave immediately, but hesitated for a while, and looked at Zhu Feng again.
Zhu Feng's gaze had already fallen on the secret letter, but at this moment, he felt that Gu Tingqiu seemed to have something to say, and looked up at him again: "Huh?"
Gu Tingqiu plucked up his courage and said softly: "Your Majesty, it has been a long time since the imperial concubine was robbed to the Kingdom of Tan."
"..."
"My minister has the guts to ask the emperor what his plan is."
"..."
Ye Zheng immediately stopped and looked at Zhu Feng.
He was really strange.
Before, just hearing that at the banquet in the Tan Kingdom, someone wanted to seduce the imperial concubine, Zhu Feng was already furious, wishing to destroy the entire Tan Kingdom.
But this time, the emperor of the country treated the imperial concubine—
Even if it wasn't counted as taking actions, those actions, according to Zhu Feng's past temperament, were enough for him to drink a pot.
Moreover, the imperial concubine was taken to Baihu City, so the spies could not follow and the news could not come back.
Instead, he calmed down.
Zhu Feng, is this a sex change
And now, finally someone from the concubine's family came to ask, Ye Zheng also wanted to find out what Zhu Feng was thinking.
Sure enough, in the quiet study room, I could clearly hear the sound of Zhu Feng's breath sinking.
Ye Zheng and Gu Tingqiu almost couldn't help themselves, they held their breath.
The two looked at him carefully.
After being silent for a while, Zhu Feng said in a low voice, "I have my own plan for this matter."
"..."
"You do your thing."
"..."
"Don't ask about the imperial concubine's affairs."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to Gu Tingqiu to let him back down.
Gu Tingqiu was still a little hesitant, but they all knew Zhu Feng's temper, and it was a miracle that he could answer him patiently after asking a question.
He could only answer "yes" softly, and then backed out.
Ye Zheng also walked out of the study, and the door was closed again.
The two looked at each other.
After a while, Gu Tingqiu said in a deep voice, "Lord Ye, what are your plans for the noble concubine?"
Ye Zheng smiled wryly and said, "What other plans do you have? Master Gu also heard just now that the emperor asked me to deal with the bandits in Henan."
"..."
"It seems that the emperor does not intend to discuss the issue of the imperial concubine with anyone."
After speaking, he shook his head, turned and left.
Gu Tingqiu frowned, and looked back at the closed door.
He knew very well that his promotion, honor and disgrace, including the future of the Si family, were all tied to Si Nanyan.
He is also very clear about the emperor's love for noble concubines.
But this time, the noble concubine was robbed to the country, but it was an accident that no one expected, and what was even more unexpected was that the emperor was closely followed by a concubine Ning, who was around him every day.
As for the safety of the imperial concubine, no one seemed to care.
Could it be that the favor of the emperor really comes and goes quickly
He couldn't help feeling anxious.
You know, being robbed is just the beginning.
A concubine is in an enemy country. After a long time, she will no longer be just a victim of being robbed, but will become a sinner!

In a blink of an eye, several days passed.
Under the dazzling sunlight, Nan Yan rode a tall snow-white horse and ran on the racecourse.
Although she was sweating profusely, her face was full of excitement, and she even smiled excitedly. The sweat dripped down, and when the sun shone, it also reflected colorful rays of light.
It feels so good to be on horseback.
Here, there is a larger horse farm than in Kulun City, because Baihu City is an important town in the west of the people of the country of Tan, and the country of Tan wants to send troops to the west, and this place is a checkpoint fortress.
There are not many residents here, but there are many soldiers and horses.
A palace surrounded by guards.
Since coming here, Nan Yan has spent almost every day on horseback. After a few days of practice, she has been able to ride a horse proficiently.
After running for a long time, I was a little tired.
She reined in and let the horse trot back to the arbor.
Monk was sitting in the pergola, with fruit and tea on the small table beside him. Because he came to recuperate, he didn't go riding a horse, but because Nan Yan liked it, he accompanied Nan Yan here every day.
Seeing Nanyan come back, he smiled and said, "You are already a skilled rider."
"..."
"I've seen so many people ride horses. Even Baoyin doesn't learn as fast as you."
Princess Baoyin who was sitting aside immediately pouted.
"Brother Monk, you can just praise her, why are you better than me? Am I that bad?"
Monk laughed.
Said: "I'm just joking."
"snort!"
After finishing speaking, Monk turned his head to look at Nanyan again: "You are really a natural born person on horseback."
