When Nanyan returned to the room, Zhu Feng had already finished washing up and sat on the head of the bed and looked at a book. When he heard her pushing the door in, he turned his head and looked at her, then lowered his head to continue reading.

Nanyan walked over gently: "Emperor."

Zhu Feng looked at the book and said without raising his head: "Go and wash quickly, it's so late."

Nan Yan couldn't help laughing.

His appearance became less and less like an emperor, more like a husband waiting for his wife to return late at home. Nanyan sent someone to send hot water in, without anyone serving him. He cleaned it himself, then changed into clothes and climbed onto the bed.

Although it was in Yongzhou, the winter here was warmer than the spring in Peking, but it was a little cool at night. Nanyan sucked his nose and got into his arms. Zhu Feng only stretched out one hand to hold her and still read a book.

Nan Yan couldn't help but raise his head from his arms: "What book is the emperor reading?"

"The Analects of Confucius."

"What's good about the Analects of Confucius?"

Zhu Feng lowered his head and glared at her: "What else is there to watch in "The Analects of Confucius"? You are good!"

Nan Yan laughed.

The two of them stayed quietly for a while, and Zhu Feng was still reading a book and ignored her at all. Nan Yan was bored and finally couldn't help but reach out to type the book, saying, "Your Majesty, don't you feel tired after reading it for a day? Is it still reading it at this time?"

Zhu Feng gritted his teeth and pressed her head hard.

"What's so tired when I read books? But you haven't been tired after playing for a whole day. Why are you still struggling with me now?"

Nan Yan was sobbing by him that he still whimpered, but he still pulled the book open. Zhu Feng had no choice but to throw the book aside and turned to look at her: "What the hell are you going to do?"

Nan Yan came out of the quilt, finally took a breath, and said, "Your Majesty is really there, let that girl make a fuss?"

Zhu Feng knew that what she was talking about was calm.

After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "How come I have let her?"

Nan Yan said: "Isn't it? The emperor is still avoiding her now and delivering food to her. If this continues, all good people will be dependent on others."

Zhu Feng couldn't help but smile and said, "I heard what you said, why, will you feel comfortable if I lock her up again?"

Nan Yan said: "That's not."

She had long seen that the last time Zhu Feng locked up Xinping was not entirely because Xinping contradicted him, but because another accident made him angry. Xinping was vented. This time, he could tolerate his daughter's nonsense in this way, probably because he did not accidentally disturb his plan, and everything was still under control, so he would not be so angry to others.

After all, as long as a man does his job well, he will not show off his power at home.

Nan Yan lay in his arms, scratching his chest with one hand lightly and heavy, and said, "What I mean is that she is so willful, she is simply unable to understand the emperor's painstaking efforts. If the emperor can do it-"

Before she could finish her words, Zhu Feng interrupted her and said coldly: "What's my hard work?"

Nanyan frowned as soon as she heard this.

Both of them are "old husband and wife", and Zhu Feng really doesn't need to pretend to be in front of her at this time.

So, just as I was about to say something, suddenly, a noise came from outside.

It was almost midnight at this time, and the entire South Courtyard rested. Everything was silent, but the sudden noise broke the tranquility of the night, and both of them frowned with alertness.

Nan Yan sat up and looked at the dark night on the window: "What's going on?"

Zhu Feng didn't say anything, but reached out and dragged a piece of clothing from the side to put it on.

Seeing him like this, Nan Yan also took out a piece of clothes. As soon as he finished putting it on, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside. Then the light of the lantern illuminated the entire yard. The visitor said a few words to Xiao Shunzi who heard the sound of greeting him, and then the noise started to make a fuss outside. Xiao Shunzi ran to their door and shouted: "Emperor! Empress!"

Zhu Feng said: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Shunzi said: "Princess, something happened to Your Highness the Princess!"

"What!?"

When he heard this, Nan Yan suddenly jumped out of the bed, and he was about to run out without even wearing shoes. Zhu Feng grabbed her and asked her to put them on. Then he strode over and opened the door. He saw Xiao Shunzi standing at the door. There were Ruoshui and the others who heard the sound outside, and the little eunuch who ran away with the lanterns and even the shoes ran away. He was following Princess Xinping. At this time, he was kneeling outside, panting, and his face as pale as paper.

Zhu Feng frowned and walked out: "What's going on?"

At this time, Nan Yan also came out.

Na Jinzhong said with a bitter face: "Emperor, Empress, Your Highness, the princess has already rested at night, but suddenly, a man broke into the princess' residence. He, he actually took the princess hostage."

"What?"

When Nanyan heard this, his heart sank.

The criminal broke into the South Courtyard? He also took the princess hostage?

Zhu Feng's face also darkened, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes. He walked down without saying a word. When he passed by Jinzhong, he kicked him to the ground with a heavy kick: "Damn it."

Na Jinzhong turned over and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die!"

Nanyan didn't have time to blame their negligence and slackness, so he hurriedly followed Zhu Feng out. After a while, he arrived at the courtyard where Princess Xinping lived.

Here, it is already brightly lit.

All the guards gathered here, with people standing on all four walls, holding torches, illuminating the entire courtyard like daytime. Under the strong light of fire, Princess Xinping's temple seemed extremely dark, and there was not even a candle inside.

The dark feeling made people feel more and more uneasy.

As soon as Zhu Feng walked over, Yingshao immediately led the people over and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Zhu Feng had a calm face, and the fires around him shone, reflecting the gloomy face, especially the heavy murderous aura in his eyes, which made everyone around him feel breathless.

He said, "Let's talk about it when you save the princess!"

With just this sentence, everyone was frightened.

Nan Yan didn't want to talk much and asked directly: "Sir Ying, what's going on inside?"

Yingshao said: "The gangster sneaked into the Princess' residence while patrolling and changing shifts in the courtyard. Now he is holding the princess inside. Because there is no light, the archer cannot move for the time being."

Nan Yan immediately said: "Don't act rashly!"

I don’t know what the situation is in the room. If I really take action, it’s hard to say whether the injury will be hurt or not. Xinping will definitely be hurt!

Yingshao said: "The official understands."
