After walking for nearly a month and a half, the surrounding scenery gradually became different from before, especially after March, the early spring scenery in the south gradually appeared, the ice and snow on the shore melted, and you can see many flowers and trees gradually emerged, and the wind on the river also brought a hint of warmth.

But such warmth cannot smile at the ice and snow in Zhu Feng's eyes.

During the month and a half on the boat, he was seasick and vomiting almost every day, and his health was unprecedentedly poor. When he arrived in the south, he lost weight.

Nanyan stood beside him and saw him holding the railing and looking at the scenery on the shore, so thin that his jaw and cheekbones became much more obvious.

The whole person looks even sharper.

It seemed as if a sword had been drawn out and was ready to be unsheathed at any time to drink blood.

Nan Yan is actually not unfamiliar with him. When they first met in Jiaotai Hall of Jinling Palace, Zhu Feng was like this.

Ye Zheng's death awakened the bloodthirsty nature in his body.

But--

But Nanyan knew very well that in the south, there were not only the bandits on Xingluo Lake, but also ordinary people.

If Zhu Feng's past attitude was to rather kill him than let him go, wouldn't their way south cause a bloody storm in the south this time?

Thinking of this, Nan Yan stretched out his hand and gently covered the back of Zhu Feng's hand.

His hands were still cold.

Suddenly, a warm feeling came, which made Zhu Feng's cold heart move slightly, and turned his head to meet Nan Yan's gentle eyes. The gentleness and warmth made the ice in his heart melt a little.

Nan Yan asked, "Master, are we coming soon?"

Zhu Feng nodded.

Nan Yan looked around and said, "However, I have never seen this section of water before, and Jinling seems to be like this."

Zhu Feng said: "This time we won't go to Jinling."

"ah?"

When Nan Yan heard this, he turned to look at him.

Zhu Feng said: "After Xu Shifeng and his team arrived in the south, they did not work in Jinling, but went directly to several counties and towns where the people were making trouble. The accident was not in Jinling, but on that side."

"Then we're going--"

"Cuicang County."

"Cuicang County? I don't seem to have heard of it."

"I haven't stayed there before. It's a ferry on the canal. From there, you will enter the waters of Xingluo Lake."

"oh……"

"Now, Xu Shifeng and Ran Xiaoyu are both there."

“How long will it take?”

Zhu Feng waved to a boatman and asked, and it would take another half a day to arrive.

Zhu Feng then ordered to prepare everyone.

When the emperor went on a patrol, it was naturally impossible for this ship to be the only one. In addition to the dragon boat where they were, there were three ships followed, namely the ships of some courtiers who accompanied him, a cargo ship specially loaded with drinking water and food, and a ship where the guards accompanied him were sitting.

Several boatmen hurriedly went to the stern of the boat to sing flags. Soon, many people also came out of the three ships behind.

Although it was so far away, Nan Yan could immediately feel that among the crowd, there were familiar eyes looking at him quietly.

She did not look back, but supported Zhu Feng and said, "Your Majesty, let's go back to your room first."

The people on the boat had already begun to prepare for arrival. Everyone was busy cleaning up and down. After entering that section of water, a sudden wind blew. The water surface became less calm and the hull was bumpy. Zhu Feng's face was a little unsightly. Hearing Nan Yan say this, he nodded, and Nan Yan helped him back to the cabin, guarding him by himself, pressing his hands on several acupoints on his head. It was also learned from Wang Baizhi these days, which can help Zhu Feng reduce the pain of seasickness.

Feeling that her little hands were busy, Zhu Feng leaned against the head of the bed and whispered: "Thank you for your hard work these days."

Nanyan looked up at him.

He smiled and said, "The emperor still told me this?"

Zhu Feng said, "You are the imperial concubine, but you asked you to do these things."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Imperial Concubine, can it be a waste of money every day and do nothing? That's not called the Imperial Concubine, that's called the Rice Clock."

Hearing this, Zhu Feng rarely smiled.

But it was only a moment.

His face slowly calmed down again, he thought for a while, and then said, "After arriving in Cuicang County, don't run around or care about other matters, just stay well. You must not go to dangerous places, do you know?"

Nan Yan didn't say anything, but just gently rubbed his bulging temples on both sides.

Zhu Feng raised his eyes and stared at her with a burning look: "Did you hear it?"

Nan Yan sighed and said softly: "I heard it."

“…”

"Without the emperor's permission, I will never dare to make a decision this time."

Zhu Feng lowered his eyelids only then.

After a while of rubbing, Nanyan's fingers became a little sore. Zhu Feng reached out to grab her hand, pulled it over and pressed it on his chest. Nanyan sat obediently beside him, and the two of them snuggled together, as if enjoying the last short peace before the storm was about to come.

After a while, there were more people and horses in the sound of gurgling water in my ears. Nanyan raised his head and looked out through the window. From a distance, he saw that the dock on the river bank was already crowded with colorful flags.

Obviously, it was the officials and gentry here who came to pick them up.

Nan Yan whispered: "Your Majesty, you're almost here."

As soon as she finished speaking, a low knock sounded outside the cabin door. Xiao Shunzi and his people were serving outside, saying, "Emperor, the boat is about to dock."

Zhu Feng opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and then sat up.

Because I got up too quickly, I felt dizzy again. I sat on the edge of the bed and shook it for a while, and almost fell down. Fortunately, Nan Yan hugged him, and Zhu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "When did I become so weak?"

Nan Yan said softly: "If people are strong everywhere, it is not a good thing."

Zhu Feng patted her hand and signaled her to let go.

He said, "You are just talking to Ran Xiaoyu."

Nan Yan was stunned for a moment.

At this time, Zhu Feng had already stood up, Xiao Shunzi and the others walked in, served the emperor's clothes, changed into dragon robe, and Nan Yan also returned to his cabin. Ruoshui and the others had already prepared the dresses to change for her.

When everything was ready, the hull was slightly shocked.

Docked.

Zhu Feng led Nanyan and the servants behind him to the deck. The hull was very high, and they were almost looking down at the crowd on the shore. Zhu Feng saw Xu Shifeng, who was at the forefront of the team, standing among the officials and gentry.

Nanyan stood beside him and looked down.

But no one saw Ran Xiaoyu in the crowd.
