Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 160 Chu Feng's Secret

Qinglong Ji, Zhaoyi five years, midsummer.

Although Nangong Yu has long been in power and has a high position and authority, the real political journey of the Nangong family began when the eldest son Nangong Mizhen entered Beijing.

Nangong Yazhen's entry into the capital had originally caused a huge backlash from the government and the public, especially on the second day, a decree from the Imperial Study Office proclaimed him a general, which aroused the backlash to the extreme.

It is said that there were many people kneeling outside the imperial study room, and the piles of papers that participated in the performance were as high as a person. After they were sent to the imperial study room, there was no instruction or withdrawal, as if nothing had disappeared.

All the ministers were puzzled, and someone even tried to find out about me through Eunuch Yu, but I smiled and refused.

I, it is impossible to know.

It's like I never understood why when I wanted to tell Chu Feng something about the Nangong family, he talked about him and deliberately avoided the topic.

All along, he has not been a suspicious person, but as the master of the Eastern Azure Dragon, he has his own advantages up to today, but I can't figure out how to deal with this matter at all. What was the intention, or—whether he had an intention or not.

However, all of this has nothing to do with me and him now.

This morning, I opened my eyes in his arms again, and found that he had already woken up and was looking down at me.

Recently, he wakes up earlier every day, and every day he wakes up, he will meet his gaze, and look at me so intently, that feeling of concentration, as if he does not want to waste every minute and every moment, and wants to spend my The appearance is forever carved into the pupils of the eyes, into the mind, and into the heart.

I smiled: "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I can't bear to see you sleeping so soundly."

He smiled slightly, lowered his head and pressed a kiss on my forehead, and then got up. Originally, Eunuch Yu and the others should have come to help him change his clothes and wash his face, but now they are also exempted. Buckle, like a real wife.

He also seemed to enjoy it very much, standing there with his arms outstretched, as if he was at my mercy.

After grooming, he had breakfast, and if he didn't go to court early, he would go to the imperial study to deal with some matters, and sometimes he would call Ling Shaoyu to his side to talk about some things in detail.

And I, staying in the Yanfu Palace, of course have my own things to do.

After the time passed, he would usually be back, but today I waited for a long time, but I still didn't hear the familiar footsteps outside the door. I wonder if he has something else to do. I thought about it and backed away The maid beside her got up and walked towards the imperial study.

As soon as I walked outside the imperial study room, the doors and windows were closed and there was no sound. Although the guards were not strict on weekdays, there were not a few guards around the four sentries at the door. Why is there no one there today?

I was a little surprised, and hurried over, and was about to step on the stairs, when I heard a low voice from inside——

"I only want you to do it!"

"Your Majesty, this matter is no small matter. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"No need, I've made up my mind!"

"emperor!"

The people inside knelt down with a plop, as if they were kowtowing, but Chu Feng's voice was very firm and could not be changed at all.

A trace of doubt rose in my heart.

Chu Feng is not a self-willed and self-willed person, but what he said just now seems to be eager to do something, with eagerness and almost desperate determination in his words.

In the end, what is it?Why has he never mentioned it before me?

I stopped under the stone steps with some doubts, and at this moment, his voice suddenly came from inside: "Who is outside?!"

Unexpectedly, he actually felt it.

I thought about it, and there was nothing to avoid. As soon as the door opened, I walked over slowly and bowed down to him: "My concubine pays respects to the emperor."

At the same time, out of the corner of my eyes I looked at the officials kneeling on the ground. They were all unfamiliar faces, which I had never seen before in Zhaoye.

When Chu Feng saw me, his face changed slightly, but he didn't say much, he just waved his sleeves at those people and said, "Everyone back down." Several people left the imperial study room obediently.

At this moment, he came over to help me up, and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

I smiled and said: "I am a scholar of the Jixian Palace granted by the emperor, and I have come to the imperial study, of course I have something important to discuss with the emperor."

"Oh? Let me see, what's your business?"

I smiled and took out a roll of Sujuan from my sleeve, unfolded it and held it in front of his eyes: "Look."

He froze for a moment, looked up and down, and then looked at me with a smile that was not a smile: "Recipe?"

"Ah."

"Why is Concubine Xiande really free now, and she actually came to study recipes with me?"

I burst out laughing, and he couldn't keep up his original seriousness, so he also laughed.

I left the Imperial Study Room with him, and walked slowly towards the Yanfu Hall hand in hand. He is used to pinching my hands in his sleeves, and he can't see the intertwining of fingers, but when his clothes are fluttering, he has a trance. The feeling of conjoined twins makes people warm, and then he said while walking: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"How come you even forgot yourself." I smiled: "Seven days later, it will be your birthday."

Hearing the word "birthday", his expression suddenly changed.

I was also stunned, watching his face turn pale all of a sudden, and his footsteps froze, as if he had been hit by something.

"What's wrong?" I asked hastily.

He slowly turned his head to look at me, and smiled again, but this smile seemed so forced, as if he was suppressing something, and asked, "How do you know?"

"I asked Eunuch Yu, he told me."

Eunuch Yu told me that the seventh day of July this year is his 45th birthday, which is not a very good day. He also told me that in the past ten years, he has never held a birthday banquet in the palace. Once, I was alone in the imperial study until dawn, busier than usual.

I can also understand that facing such a face, he really doesn't have the heart to make a birthday banquet.

The hand held by him felt a little cold, it was his palm, and it became cold in an instant, I quickly grabbed his hand with my backhand: "What's the matter?"

He didn't answer, but looked down at Zhang Sujuan, and then said slowly: "You, want to hold a birthday banquet for me?"

"It's not a birthday banquet either, it's just a family banquet. I want to reunite with the family, and then—"

Having said that, I can't go on talking myself.

His throat was suddenly blocked by something that suddenly surged up, and even his voice choked up.

He and I, what we tried to avoid would appear so easily, and it would pierce my heart unexpectedly, leaving me without even the slightest strength to fight back.

He didn't know how long he had been frozen like this, but he suddenly spoke and said softly, "Okay, you can do it."

I looked up and looked at him, only to see him smiling lightly.

"Over the years, I haven't thought about it carefully. It's rare that you have the heart, so-"

Before he finished speaking, he stopped suddenly.

I seemed to feel something, and before I had time to raise my head, I heard Eunuch Yu's voice coming from the front: "Lord Nangong, please see me."

My fingertips trembled slightly.

When he looked up, he had already seen the front. Eunuch Yu hunched over and walked towards us, and behind him was the tall and familiar figure. When he saw us, Eunuch Yu was obviously hesitant, and there was also something in those clear eyes. There was a flicker of light.

On both sides, the two pairs of people seemed to froze for a moment.

I thought for a while and said softly: "Your Majesty, my concubine will retire."

He glanced at me, said nothing, and let go of my hand.

And I lowered my head and walked forward, and Eunuch Yu also walked over with that man. The moment I passed by, I didn't turn my head, and he didn't look sideways. There was only a thin gust of wind, It brought an inaudible sigh, and it disappeared in just an instant...

This seems to be the "first" meeting between him and me.

Different from the past, different identities, different positions, everything has changed.

There is a feeling of suffocation.

I walked this section of the road and leaned against a red wall. After a while, I heard footsteps. Looking back, it was Eunuch Yu walking towards me.

I also know that Nangong Mizhen must have some serious business when he came to the palace to meet the emperor, and it is impossible for Eunuch Yu to stand by.

He looked up and saw me, but he was a little surprised, and walked over: "Your Majesty."

"Eunuch Yu, Nangong—my lord, he entered the palace, what's the matter?"

Eunuch Yu glanced at me with a slightly complicated expression: "Your Majesty, you should know that Qinglong Kingdom has never had a harem regent."

I froze for a moment, then smiled: "Forget it."

After speaking, he turned around to leave, but just as he turned around, he heard his low voice behind him: "Master Nangong, you just came back from the Ministry of War."

I was startled and looked back at him, but he had already shut his mouth tightly, as if he didn't intend to say any more.

Nangong Yazhen, after leaving the military department, he immediately entered the palace to meet the emperor, what does this mean?I know that Nangong Yu has always wanted to go west and use troops, could it be that——

But at this time, guessing is useless.

Eunuch Yu bowed to me and was about to leave when something suddenly occurred to my mind, so I hurriedly stopped him: "Eunuch Yu, I have one more thing to ask you."

He frowned slightly, and looked back at me, as if he felt that I was a little at a loss.

"what?"

"Today, where are the adults who entered the palace to meet the emperor in the imperial study?"

Hearing my question, Eunuch Yu's expression changed.

I immediately realized what was going on, and stepped forward to look into his eyes: "What the hell is going on?!"

Eunuch Yu seemed to flinch slightly, looked up at me, then looked around, and lowered his voice after making sure that there was no one else.

"Yes, the one who supervised the construction of the imperial mausoleum."

I suddenly opened my eyes.
