Jian Ruocheng looked at her quietly for a while.
Then, a gentle smile appeared on that handsome face, and he said, "What can I do, it's just a business deal."
"Yeah?"
"Of course," Jian Ruocheng said with a smile, "Don't you think that King Ning will punish me for a deal?"
"..."
Seeing his calm smile, Nan Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
He murmured, "That's good."
"Well, what?" Jian Ruocheng looked at her and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Nan Yan hurriedly waved her hands to cover up: "No, it's nothing."
Jian Ruocheng looked at her for a while, and then said, "Take a good rest, your eyes are a little red, you must have been worrying about this business last night and didn't sleep well."
Nan Yan asked: "By the way, since the business was not negotiated today, did the seller say when it will continue?"
"He said he would think about it for two days."
"Think about it for two days?"
Nan Yan frowned in surprise: "Why?"
Jian Ruocheng said: "Probably because he doesn't want to offend both the power of us and the monarch of the country, and the benefits offered by both sides are great, so he has to weigh it."
"So that's how it is."
Nan Yan nodded lightly and said, "Then we will be staying on this ship for the next two days?"
"Well. But don't worry, if you don't want to see some people, you can tell me, and I will let someone guard your door."
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment.
Although she didn't want to see Monk, but Li Bushang still wanted to visit her at any time, so it was hard to exclude him.
So he shook his head: "No need."
Jian Ruocheng glanced at her, didn't ask any more questions, but said softly: "Okay then. I won't bother you anymore, you have a good rest."
Nanyan nodded.
Jian Ruocheng picked up the cup of tea she made for him, took a sip, then got up and left the room.
Nan Yan sat by the table, put one hand on the edge of the table, and said to herself in relief: "It won't hurt him, then it will be easy."
"No matter what, I still treat you as a good friend as before."
"I hope you will find your way back, and even more hope that you will be safe and sound."
…
Her murmured voice resounded in the room, and Jian Ruocheng, who was standing at the door and hadn't left immediately, dimmed her eyes slightly, remained silent for a while, then turned and left.

For the next two days, the sea was calm.
On the other side, after the emperor's royal driver left Beiping, he also traveled calmly all the way.
Ye Zheng rode on the horse, looked at Zhu Feng's golden chariot, and murmured: "It's rare to be so quiet."
Usually, the imperial driver travels, for the sake of comfort, he doesn't walk for too long every day; especially, this time, he brought the Queen and Qin Ruolan with him, taking care of women, he had to stop and rest frequently.
But this time, I don’t know what Zhu Feng is thinking, these days have been letting everyone go at full speed,
This speed can almost catch up with the speed of marching.
I passed Tianjin within two days, and the ferry was about to arrive.
Xiao Shunzi ran to his side and said, "Master Ye, do you want to stop and let everyone light a fire and cook?"
Ye Zheng looked back at the silent golden car: "The emperor didn't make a sound, did he?"
"No. It's been very quiet."
"Did you eat breakfast?"
"As usual, nothing much."
Ye Zheng sighed.
In the past few days, Zhu Feng ate very little, so he only asked people to deliver the food to the car, opened the car door and put it inside, and he was not allowed to ask more questions. After a while, someone would come over to clean up the dishes.
The things inside are hardly touched.
You know, in the past, Zhu Feng seldom lost his appetite. Even if he was seriously injured in several places and bleeding profusely in battle, he could still eat meat and drink in big bowls.
But this time, he didn't eat much for several days.
How can the body bear it
Ye Zheng thought for a while and said, "We'll talk about it when we get to the ferry. It's not easy to live here in the wilderness. There are some boatmen at the ferry, so you can directly use their fire stoves."
Xiao Shunzi immediately agreed, "Yes."
After speaking, he walked forward.
On the other side of the car, Xu Miaoyin gently raised a corner of the curtain and said, "Ye Zheng."
Ye Zheng rode over immediately, bent down: "Empress Empress."
"Are we going to the ferry?"
"Yes."
Xu Miaoyin nodded, and said: "On the way, have you found out the whereabouts of Her Highness the Princess and Ran Xiaoyu?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Ye Zheng sighed.
Just not.
He has already sent many people to disperse and go to the surrounding towns to inquire, but the news reported back is nothing.
Although he knew that Ran Xiaoyu would definitely protect Princess Xinping, and that she would definitely have the ability to live well outside, but in his heart, he couldn't help but worry.
Hearing that there was no news, Xu Miaoyin's face became even more sad.
She was quiet for a while, then said again: "Where is that person?"
"..."
She was referring to Qin Ruolan, of course.
Probably because she still had resentment towards Qin Ruolan in her heart, she didn't even want to say her name, Ye Zheng said softly: "She has been very quiet all the time, only when she stopped to rest before, she wanted to see the emperor, but she didn't get permission."
"oh… "
Although, I was a little gloating in my heart, but I was also a little surprised.
Now Zhu Feng, even she is gone
Xu Miaoyin glanced at the carriage over there indifferently, and said, "It's all right."
Then he lowered the curtain.
Ye Zheng continued to ride on horseback, Yu Jia walked for a while, and finally arrived at Dadukou.
The river is rushing and the waves are surging. Such a scene makes people sigh the magnificence of the mountains and rivers.
But at this time, no one was in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. After all, they were about to board a boat and head for Changqing City, and Zhu Feng hadn't given any instructions until now.
Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a moment, walked under the window of the golden car, and said softly, "Your Majesty."
The people inside didn't respond to him either.
Xiao Shunzi said: "My Majesty, Yujia has arrived at Dadukou, and he can board the ship soon."
"..."
Still no response.
At this moment, Qin Ruolan came over.
She walked to the golden chariot and said softly, "Your Majesty, I beg to see you."
These two days were not the first time. During the time in the palace, no matter how tightly the door of the Imperial Study was closed, as soon as she appeared, the door would open.
However, the golden car still did not move at all.
Gradually, Qin Ruolan's complexion became serious.
Before, it could be said that Zhu Feng didn't want to see any of them, but at this time he had already arrived at Dadu and was about to board the ship, so it was impossible for him to say no to anyone.
She looked back and saw Ye Zheng and Xu Miaoyin walking up one after another.
Xu Miaoyin's voice sank, she stepped forward suddenly, and pushed open the door of the golden car.
I saw inside, empty!
