Nan Yan glanced at her, turned around and continued to walk forward, and Ruo Shui followed behind her. After a long time, she said softly, "The emperor is naturally not wrong. But the servant thinks that the princess is also right."

Hearing these "confused words", Nan Yan couldn't help but laugh.

As she walked forward, she said, "Both of them are right, who is wrong?"

"..."

Hearing this, Ruo Shui couldn't help frowning.

Nan Yan took two steps forward and looked back at her again: "Huh?"

Ruo Shui shook his head slightly in embarrassment: "This, slaves don't know."

Nan Yan laughed, continued to walk forward, and said, "If you don't know, think about it more. For some things, you need to think more to figure it out."

Ruo Shui followed her for a while with a vague understanding, and suddenly seemed to have some aftertaste, and said softly: "Niang Niang, the eldest princess was locked up by the emperor, is it because——I didn't figure it out? "

Nan Yan just smiled and said nothing.

After a while, they returned to the Yikun Palace, but Nan Yan did not stop. I heard that Zhu Feng was still staying in the imperial study, and it was almost time for lunch, she thought about it and asked the following. The person who was there prepared some refreshments, and she led Ruo Shui to take them to the imperial study in person.

It was noon when he walked outside the imperial study.

The sun was a little poisonous, and several guards and little eunuchs who were guarding outside all had their faces wilted. Only Xiao Shunzi cheered up and guarded the door very cautiously.

From a distance, Nan Yan came with Ruo Shui, and immediately greeted him.

"Miss."

Nan Yan nodded, glanced inside again, and asked, "The emperor is still inside?"

"Yes."

"It's time, it's time to eat, why didn't you remind me?"

Xiao Shunzi said with a wry smile: "The servants persuaded me for a long time, and the emperor was going to pass the meal, but Lord Chen suddenly came to report something urgently, and the emperor didn't care about the meal again."

"Urgent report?"

When Nan Yan heard this, her eyes lit up, and she asked softly, "Is it—the thing about the looted grain?"

Xiao Shunzi was not surprised that the imperial concubine knew about this matter, she just lowered her voice and said: "The slaves and servants don't dare to ask more about this matter, the emperor was so angry about this matter that two generals who transported the food were killed. Master Chen and the others were all punished, and went out of the city overnight to find the whereabouts of that batch of food."

"what?"

This made Nan Yan a little surprised.

Although the fact that the food was robbed by the hungry people did damage the court's face, but in the end, it was just a batch of food, no matter what, just send the people below to find it.

How could Chen Xuan go out of the city to find it himself?

Is that food more expensive than tribute?

Nan Yan said: "Then, when Master Chen came back this time, did he find that batch of food?"

Xiao Shunzi looked back at the imperial study with the doors and windows closed, and said in a low voice, "This, the servants don't know either. I just want to find them sooner, so that the emperor can relax."

Nan Yan also looked at the imperial study, which was so quiet that there was no wind blowing.

That kind of dullness is not the dullness of people not speaking or doing things, on the contrary, it is like the chilling and depressing dullness before the war.

It is reasonable to say that when the food was robbed, although the imperial court lost face, but sent troops to retake the food, the punishment that should be punished, the killing that should be killed, this matter will be understood.

But Zhu Feng looks like this now——

This matter seems to be not as simple as they imagined.

She didn't ask any more, just let Ruo Shui pass the refreshment to Xiao Shunzi, and let him find a chance to send it in. The most important thing is to remind His Majesty the emperor to eat, and then turned and left.

At this time, the interior of the imperial study was sultry like a steamer.

Chen Xuan stood in front of the imperial case, the sweat on his forehead fell down one by one like beads with a broken thread, but he couldn't even raise his hand to wipe it.

Because Zhu Feng, who was sitting behind the imperial case, had a frosty expression on his face.

In such a hot weather, in such a sultry imperial study room, he was like an ice sculpture, without even a single bead of sweat, and the thick evil spirit emanating from his body carried a biting chill. Although Chen Xuan was hot, he was very close to him. His eyes shivered involuntarily.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Feng suddenly spoke.

"You just said, where did those people move their hands?"

Chen Xuan said immediately: "In the words of the emperor, those hungry people have been following the grain transport team in Jinling City. After leaving Jinling, they walked for two days. They moved their hands in Longkou Valley and robbed the batch of grain."

Zhu Feng said solemnly: "Now, where are people still?"

"Yes."

"how many people?"

"The soldiers who transported the grain came back and said that there were about a hundred people who did it. Wei Chen checked their origins again. This year, the Huai River flooded on the east bank of Hongze Lake and flooded dozens of villages. This group of people is from the same village."

Zhu Feng said with a sullen face: "So, is it the people from the same village who moved their hands together?"

Chen Xuan said: "Yes."

After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a while, and then continued: "I heard that there are some women and girls in the valley, and they should all follow them out to escape."

"..."

Under the dim light, Zhu Feng's face became even more gloomy.

After a long time, when Zhu Feng spoke again, even his voice was stained with a bit of the chill emanating from him, and said slowly, "You don't need to worry about this matter."

Chen Xuan raised his head: "Your Majesty—"

Zhu Feng said: "Retreat."

Chen Xuan sighed lightly, and after all, he saluted, turned around and backed out. Then, Xiao Shunzi carefully walked in with the refreshment brought by Nan Yan, and put the tray on the small table beside him. He said softly, "Your Majesty, these are the delicate refreshments that the imperial concubine has just sent. The emperor has not had any meals since the morning to the imperial study, so let's use some cushions first."

Zhu Feng only glanced at it, but he didn't mean to eat at all.

He was silent for a while and said, "Call Fan Yingyi to me."

Xiao Shunzi was stunned for a moment.

Chen Xuan came over to report to find out the whereabouts of the batch of food, and it should have been resolved together, but looking at Chen Xuan just went out but his expression seemed to have no intention of solving it, and now the emperor is passing Fan Yingyi over.

Among the four commanders of Jinyiwei, Li Bushang and Fang Buyuan both went out with the emperor on big errands, while Liangqiu and Fan Yingyi both dealt with some confidential matters.

Could it be that this time the matter of dealing with the starving people and robbing food is a secret matter?

Especially Fan Yingyi this person——

When you mention him, it has the effect of stopping children crying at night. This person is resolute and resolute, even a bit ruthless, quite the style of behavior when King Yan first entered Jinling.

When the hungry people robbed the food, it was enough to send the officers and soldiers from Jinling. Why let him go?

Xiao Shunzi was still a little confused, but Zhu Feng had already said, "Why are you still not moving?"

Xiao Shunzi immediately said, "This servant will go now."

After saying that, he hurried out.
