The original plan to stay in Nan'an Town for a day or two was completely broken. Zhu Feng took Li Bushang to the second floor of the restaurant. The two only talked for a while, and Li Bushang came out and said, "The emperor has a purpose, let's get started. drive."

Nan Yan didn't even go to rest, just waited below with Xin Ping, and when he heard this, he frowned.

Although he knew that Li Bushang would suddenly appear here to pick up the car, what he said was definitely not a trivial matter, but it could make Zhu Feng change his plan immediately. .

She thought for a while, then lowered her head and said to Xin Ping: "Hurry up and prepare, don't make trouble on the road."

Xinping's eyes were still a little red.

Although there were too many grievances in her heart, she still understood the truth, and knew that when there was something serious, she should not be self-willed, and obediently left with her palace maids and eunuchs.

The people around were already busy getting ready.

Li Bushang walked downstairs, went straight to Nan Yan and looked at her, and after a while, he said, "Niangniang."

Nan Yan frowned slightly and looked at him, "What happened?"

"…"

Li Bushang was silent for a while, and then said: "After a while, the emperor should tell the empress."

After he finished speaking, he had to walk away from Nan Yan.

But just after taking a step, he stopped again, stood beside Nan Yan and said, "It's really great that the lady can come this time."

"...?"

Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at him subconsciously, while Li Bushang walked out without looking back, Nan Yan frowned slightly, looked at his back, and was a little dazed for a while.

What does he mean by this?

But before she could think about it, Zhu Feng had already walked downstairs. When Li Bushang was waiting for the holy chariot at this place, he had already made preparations. By the way, the emperor's chariot had been replaced with horses. After a little repair, they immediately set off on the road.

This time, Nan Yan and Zhu Feng sat in the same carriage.

Their car quickly left Nan'an Town. It was as if a dragonfly had dipped water here. Nan Yan sat in the swaying carriage, gently stroking the one that Zhu Feng had just bought for her with one hand. That string of acacia bean bracelets, listening to the hurried horse hooves outside, finally couldn't help asking: "Emperor, what happened?"

Zhu Feng half-squinted his eyes, as if resting.

Hearing Nan Yan's question, he didn't open his eyes, but said, "Chen Biri was assassinated at the border."

"Chen Biri?"

This name is a bit unfamiliar, it must have been a long time since I heard it and it took a little time to react, but Nan Yan thought about it, and immediately came back to her senses, and took a breath: "The Prime Minister of Yue?"

"Um."

"He, was assassinated at the border? What happened?"

Zhu Feng still squinted his eyes, his body swayed slowly with the bumps of the carriage, but he felt as steady as a mountain. He said in a deep voice, "The murderer has not been caught yet."

"Are people dead?"

"Not dead, but seriously injured, and it hasn't healed yet."

"When did this happen?"

"It's been almost a month now."

"After such a long time, the murderer has not been caught?"

Nan Yan frowned: "Who would assassinate him?"

Zhu Feng chuckled lightly, opened his eyes slowly, and said, "Listen to what you asked."

"…"

Nan Yan also reflected for a while, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

A person, sitting in the position of the prime minister of a country, would have too many people who would want to assassinate him. If the prime minister's power is too great and affects the emperor, the emperor will want to kill him; if the prime minister is not compatible with the generals, the generals may want to kill him; if there are people below the prime minister waiting to take his place, then the subordinates may want to kill him he.

In short, it is rare for a person in this position if no one wants to assassinate him.

but-

Nan Yandao: "If you can succeed, this person is not easy."

Zhu Feng said: "Of course."

Nan Yan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Then this matter—"

Before she finished speaking, she bit her lower lip.

This incident is indeed a big thing. Although the prime minister of the Yue Kingdom was assassinated, it is a matter of great influence to them.

First of all, Chen Biri was stabbed at the border, so it is very likely that Yue Guo has something to say; and, over the years, Chen Biri has always opposed the raw silk trade between Yue Guo and their Yan Guo. Putting aside the fact that he was stabbed for the time being, the most fearful thing is that someone will take this opportunity to make a big fuss.

This is a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.

And it's a huge wave.

Nan Yandao: "Then, what is the emperor going to do with this matter?"

Zhu Feng slowly closed his eyes again and said, "Go over first and see what's going on over there."

Nan Yan nodded.

After being quiet for a while, Zhu Feng said again: "Recently, you have been paying more attention to that girl. The situation here is more complicated, so don't let her run around again."

Nan Yan originally thought that Zhu Feng would definitely be angry even if he didn't get angry just now.

But he didn't expect that he was so calm, and he explained that he was more concerned about peace of mind.

It was as if he wasn't angry at all because of his daughter's willfulness and stubbornness—by comparison, this living Hades became a Bodhisattva, but he was calm and a little too naive.

Nan Yan whispered; "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the concubine will watch her."

Zhu Feng nodded.

The carriage galloped along.

Nan Yan vaguely remembered that it took them nearly a day to walk from Nan'an Town to Yongzhou City, but now, thanks to the smooth straight road, they arrived at Yongzhou City in just over two hours.

By the time the convoy reached the city, it was already dark.

The city has long been under curfew, and there is no one on the wide avenue, but on both sides of the road there are three steps, one post, five steps and one post, filled with soldiers, all with torches in their hands. It seemed that Li Bushang had already made preparations. Not only did he come to pick up the emperor's drive, but he was also ready to pick him up. The whole city was so quiet that only the sound of their carriages and horses passing by was left. , and one or two barks in the distance.

Zhu Feng sat in the golden car, looked outside, and asked, "When was the curfew imposed?"

Li Bushang rode a horse next to the golden carriage, and when he heard his question, he immediately leaned down and said, "After Chen Biri was assassinated, Master Cui ordered a curfew, and all chariots and horses passing in and out of Yongzhou City were strictly enforced. Check it out."

Zhu Feng nodded slightly.

The carriage continued to move forward, and after another half hour, it was completely dark, and they finally stopped in front of the brightly lit yamen.

This place is even brighter.

Cui Yuanmei, the prefect of Yongzhou Prefecture, had already waited here with officials at all levels. When the carriage and horses stopped, Zhu Feng got off the golden carriage, and everyone immediately knelt down and bowed to the ground. Long live the mountain.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."
