Finally, all the memorials were reviewed. The emperor summoned several ministers in the imperial study room to discuss the issue of sending troops. It was already evening. When Zhu Feng walked out of the imperial study room, he sat a little stiff. He stood at the door, his tall figure shaking slightly.

Xiao Shunzi was so scared that he immediately stepped forward: "Master!"

Fortunately, Zhu Feng stood firm immediately, looked down at him and said coldly: "What are you yelling at?"

Xiao Shunzi was so scared that she broke out in cold sweat and immediately took a step back.

It was just autumn and it was not too late, but there was no sunshine. Xiao Shunzi immediately asked someone to pick up the lanterns, but Zhu Feng didn't wait for them at all. He walked forward on his own. Xiao Shunzi could only shout the people behind to follow him quickly, and hurriedly followed Zhu Feng's pace with his hands.

After wandering around the red walls and green tiles with mottled light and shadows, Xiao Shunzi looked up and looked forward, and his face showed joy.

This road is to the harem.

Moreover, I also went to Yikun Palace.

Xiao Shunzi breathed a lot of relief. Although the two of them had a quarrel this time, the imperial concubine kept sending supplements to the imperial study room in private, and no matter how difficult the emperor was, they would pour it down one by one. This situation made it impossible for them to make things difficult for them. However, it would be unreasonable to continue like this for a long time. It would be a good thing for them to reconcile one day earlier.

Therefore, Xiao Shunzi quickly accelerated his pace happily.

However, after Zhu Feng took two more steps forward, he slowly stopped. Xiao Shunzi felt anxious and subconsciously said, "Your Majesty is not going?"

When Zhu Feng heard this, he immediately lowered his face and looked back at him: "Why, where I am going, I want you to make the decision?"

Xiao Shunzi was scared and sweated in a cold sweat: "I dare not, the emperor forgive me."

Zhu Feng snorted coldly and looked forward again. Although the expression on his face was a little entangled, after a while, he seemed to be so angry that he turned around and walked towards another road.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Shunzi sighed, but he could only follow him with his fate.

In fact, even if he really went to Yikun Palace at this time, it would be difficult for the imperial concubine to "take care of" His Majesty the Emperor, because at this time, Si Muyun was talking to the imperial concubine in Yikun Palace.

Since returning to the capital from Yongzhou three years ago, the emperor gave the imperial concubine a privilege to summon relatives to the palace to talk at any time without the emperor's permission, which made other concubines in the harem envious. However, the imperial concubine rarely used this box of privileges. In order to avoid "harem interference in politics", she only gave some things to her parents' home during the New Year and hardly had to interact with them on weekdays.

But today, she summoned her brother Si Muyun to the palace, and the two of them talked for an afternoon.

At this moment, it was already a little late, but the imperial concubine had no intention of letting her brother leave the palace. She just sat in a chair, and her face looked a little cloudy and unstable with the candlelight swaying on the candlestick that Aunt Tongyun held in.

Si Muyun put his hands on his knees, and cold sweat came out in his palms, and subconsciously rubbed his clothes.

He has almost forgotten his sister now - or rather, he dared not recall how he bullied her when he was a child, and he was joking with her whip. It was not only because of her prominent identity and power, but also because of the uneven and powerful aura of this imperial concubine over time. Si Muyun had no doubt that even if she had nothing now, no one dared to make a rash in front of her.

He subconsciously glanced out the window, hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Empress, it's late."

“…”

Nan Yan slowly raised her head and looked at the sky outside. It was indeed a little dark, and her face was not better than the sky outside. She just calmed down a little before saying, "I have delayed my brother again."

Si Muyun smiled and said, "What are the empress saying?"

Nan Yan nodded and said, "Brother, you will go back soon - if there is nothing wrong, go to your uncle's house more often. He is like this now, so don't be despised by others. I don't want his uncle to suffer such grievances."

Gu Tingqiu suddenly fell from a high position and power to an idle person who was neglected by the emperor. Even if there is a concubine behind him, it is inevitable that someone will be praised and stepped on the lower level.

Si Muyun said: "Don't worry, my uncle, he understands it in his heart."

Nanyan nodded: "That's good."

So Si Muyun got up and saluted her. When she was about to leave, she stopped when she walked to the door, thought for a while, and then turned around and said, "Empress, the eldest princess--"

Nan Yan was originally trapped in his own thoughts, but when he heard him suddenly ask Xinping, he was stunned: "She? What's wrong?"

Si Muyun hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "It's okay."

“…”

"But, in this situation between the Empress and the Emperor, the Empress should comfort His Highness more. His Highness is at this age - when he is too active, don't let His Highness suffer grievances."

Nan Yan felt strange in his heart. Even if he had a quarrel with Zhu Feng, what kind of grievance could this emperor have suffered from the pearl in his hand?

Besides, Liu Yueze had already stopped her before when he entered Jing. Where could her mind move?

She didn't want to take this into consideration and waved her hand: "I understand."

Si Muyun left now.

Aunt Tongyun lit up other candlesticks in Yikun Palace one after another. When she turned around, she saw that the imperial concubine's face was still covered with clouds. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Although they were slaves, they did not dare to ask about the affairs of the court. As a kind-hearted manner as the imperial concubine just now, Lord Si did not dare to blatantly tell him the court's arrangements, but in just a few words, they could roughly hear that from the arrangements of the Ministry of Revenue and the dispatch of the Ministry of War, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to arrange the war in winter before fighting.

This is said to be a secret of the court, but I think it is not a secret.

Even those who are slaves know that when winter comes, the grassland will be withered and horses will be thin, and the most powerful thing in the country is their cavalry. Without the forage and horses, the cavalry will not be strong, so it is naturally their best time to attack.

only--

Aunt Tongyun glanced at the gloomy face of the concubine, didn't dare to say anything, and carefully retreated.

Nan Yan stayed alone in the quiet Yikun Palace, looking at the candlelight swaying on the table, and his mind was constantly sinking.

winter……

Although Zhu Feng was afraid of medical treatment, as the closest person he was, how could she not know that in winter, his old injuries recur and his body was the weakest.

At this time, it is too late to get into the tonic. If you still have to walk to the bitter and cold land in the north, you have to go to the horse's back to fight on the battlefield...

She couldn't imagine the consequences.
