Zhu Feng said: "Before he died, he told me that he was not the one who leaked the news to Jinling, so I knew that there was an eyeliner by my side."
"..."
"But at that time, I don't want to care about that."
"..."
"I'm just very angry, so I train more diligently. I want to win a few battles. I want to call that 'eyeliner' to see, and let that person send a message back to the people in Jinling."
Some people fall to the bottom and will be devastated, while some people, the greater the pressure on them, the greater their rebound, because the latter's heart is much stronger.
And Zhu Feng is the latter!
If an ordinary person had experienced what he had experienced, he would have given up his life long ago and become an idle prince who eats, drinks, and has nothing to do. But he was different. When facing all the injustices and tribulations, he let himself get stronger.
Such a person will be the winner of fate.
Nan Yan said: "What happened later?"
"Later," Zhu Feng took a deep breath and said, "Later, I sent troops again to fight against the cavalry of the country of Tan, and won three battles and three victories!"
"...!"
Nan Yan's heart also skipped a beat.
It can be imagined that at that time, he really let out a bad breath!
Zhu Feng himself said: "At that time, I let out a bad breath."
"..."
"Even Emperor Gao... for the first time, praised me."
When he said this, his voice trembled slightly.
"He praised me for the first time, saying that I have the demeanor of his past."
"..."
"It's the first time he said that."
"..."
Nan Yan took two steps, walked to his side, and looked into his extraordinarily bright eyes.
Zhu Feng is not a person who shows his emotions too much.
Especially every time he talks about the past, he always appears very restrained, even cautious, because even he himself knows that he is a resolute god of war, but in this world, there are no people or things that are truly flawless.
His weakness is the past.
It is the suffering and even the grievances that have been experienced.
But at this time, he didn't regret his happy emotions at all, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Probably, that period of time was a rare, happy and glorious moment for him.
Nan Yan was silent for a while, and said: "Although I don't know why, at the beginning, Emperor Gao was indifferent to the emperor, but I think, from the bottom of his heart, he actually liked—or admired the emperor's, right?"
Emperor Gao was born as a commoner, yet he was able to win the world in the end. It can be seen that this person is a strong man through and through, no matter in terms of power or spirit.
The strong may pity many and love many.
However, only the same strong can make such appreciation and even praise.
That's why he said that Zhu Feng was like him back then.
Zhu Feng was a little dazed, and turned to look at her: "Really?"
"certainly."
"..."
He lowered his head and thought quietly for a while.
Then, with a chuckle: "Really?"
In the last sentence, it seemed that he was not asking Nanyan, but himself.
The two continued to move forward. After leaving Chengqian Palace, they walked all the way to the lake. The surrounding court ladies and eunuchs all stopped to kneel down and pay respects to them, but Zhu Feng ignored them all and walked straight to the small pavilion by the lake. inside.
Cool breeze.
Watching the weeping willows by the lake swaying gently with the wind, caressing the lake surface and drawing ripples, this kind of scenery makes people feel a lot more comfortable.
However, there was still a stone pressing down on Nanyan's heart.
She said, "Your Majesty, what happened next?"
"later?"
Zhu Feng seemed to think for a while, and then said: "At that time, the whole of Beiping was jubilant because of my victory, and when the news spread back to Jinling, all the ministers in the court also expressed their congratulations to me. There were even Some people even exchange letters with me in private, saying that they want to support me and do great things."
"..."
Nanyan didn't find it strange at all.
Ministers in the court have always been like this.
Although the crown prince had made a lot of political achievements and was favored by Emperor Gao, Zhu Feng's achievements at that time were indeed huge, and had a great impact on the crown prince.
Nan Yan asked: "Then what does the Emperor think?"
"Zhen?" His tone seemed a little tense, and he said, "Zhen, what can you think?"
"..."
"I always dreamed of getting Emperor Gao's approval. At that time, everyone supported me, and I felt a little bit elated."
"..."
"I think, maybe, I can really give it a try."
"..."
"Go and compete with the prince again, even if it's not for the position, but for who is the most useful to the emperor, who is most appreciated by him, and even, who is most like him."
"..."
"That year, it happened to be the time for Emperor Gao to choose a concubine, and he suddenly proposed one thing, that is, to find some girls for the prince and our brothers."
"...!"
Nan Yan's heart tightened.
She immediately thought of Qin Ruolan.
Zhu Feng's heart also seemed to tighten a bit, because his breathing became obviously short at this moment.
He said: "And at this time, she found me."
Nan Yan said softly: "What does she want?"
"She wants me to save her."
"..."
"She said that because her father is the prince's young teacher and is someone who stands firmly by the prince's side, she is also destined to be with the prince, but she doesn't want to."
"..."
"She said that she only has me in her heart, and she wants to be with me."
Having said that, Zhu Feng took a deep breath and said, "And I, of course, am willing."
"..."
"Not only do I want to be with her, but I have lost to the prince in too many places. I don't want to be able to keep even a woman I like."
"..."
"then-"
Nan Yan's brows frowned subconsciously, she clenched her fists, and said softly, "So?"
"So, on impulse, I told her—"
"..."
"The two of us have a skin-to-skin relationship."
"..."
"At that time we thought, anyway, the matter between her and the prince has not been settled, and the uncooked rice has been cooked, let alone the prince, even the emperor can't do anything about it."
Nan Yan's heart was trembling.
She said, "Then, what happened?"
"result?"
Zhu Feng turned his back to her, facing the wide lake in front of him, but his eyes suddenly looked so empty, as if he didn't know where to go through this scene.
He said slowly: "As a result, Emperor Gao was furious and threw me into the dungeon."
"Why?!"
Nan Yan became anxious: "She, doesn't she have any relationship with the prince?"
"She has nothing to do with the prince."
Zhu Feng's voice was cold and distant, and he said word by word: "Because of her, she was originally going to enter the palace."
