Chapter 753: Chapter 753: Are You Bullying Me?_1

These simple words carried a profound meaning.

It was the Emperor’s duty to protect her. If anything should befall her, there would be no more war. Ye knew the Emperor and his ways better than anyone, and he was sure that no harm would come to Nan Feng.

Ye had contingents in place within the Palace, through which he could stay informed about Nan Feng’s situation.

Because Ye was worried that Nan Feng might not share her troubles.

However, from the letters Nan Feng had sent, there was no withholding of woes, only expressions of frustration and complaints.

Sitting on a bale of hay, Ye was reading a letter when he heard footsteps behind him. His sharp ears told him who it was in an instant.

The man clapped a hand on his shoulder and said heartily, "Been looking all over for you. So you’re here reading letters. Who’s the letter from?"

After he spoke, Lu Jianxi sat down next to Ye.

Together, they watched the sun setting in the distance, the vast plains stretching out beneath the sky. The setting sun was magnificently beautiful.

Ye said casually, "It’s from my wife."

The beauty of the sunset was infinite, and he wished the person by his side, viewing it with him, was Nan Feng.

"Who would have thought? You’re a brave man on the battlefield and a sentimental one at home," Lu Jianxi laughed.

But there was a pain in his heart.

His wife, his wife...

What kind of lady was she, to have him worry so much about her?

Ye turned and looked at Lu Jianxi, "You’ll understand when you have a beloved."

Looking at Lu Jianxi’s heroic appearance in his helmet, Ye chuckled.

"Why are you laughing? You look so sly - oh, I know. You must think that a person like me won’t have a beloved."

Teasing back Ye said, "I’ve never thought that."

"Then why the laughter?"

"I just considered that maybe your beloved is a woman."

"So you’re implying I’m a sissy, huh? All right, Nangong Ye, what is this, picking on me?"

With that said, Lu Jianxi started throwing punches, with Ye managing the defense.

And that’s how they end up fighting again in the field next to the campsite.

...

The Emperor read Nangong Ye’s reply to Nan Feng, it was a single line: endure if possible, and when it’s unbearable, endure no further.

Lounging on the Dragon Throne, the Emperor pondered Ye’s words.

They were a reminder for him too.

A person as intelligent as Ye would know for sure that the Emperor would read his letters. Therefore, the phrase "endure no further" was a message not just for Nan Feng but for the Emperor as well.

The Emperor smirked at the thought.

As he tied the message onto another pigeon, he gave the order to Supervisor Wan, "Double the guards for Siyuan, no one is to enter without my permission. Ensure Nan Feng’s safety at all costs."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the Emperor’s command, the Palace was abuzz again with gossip and speculation.

It was clear that the Emperor’s fondness for Nan Feng was different, quite extraordinary really.

For Nan Feng, having the Emperor’s support made numerous aspects of her role easier. In the past, certain temples demanded too much, but now Nan Feng created a system of distribution that was determined by each Palace’s headcounts. The only exception to the rule was that higher-ranking personnel were allowed a slightly larger share.

In this way, Siyuan could operate without fear of the women’s palace.

Hence, the women’s palaces, now unable to squander as they pleased, showed resentment towards Nan Feng. But, since it was the Emperor’s orders and his advocacy for ethical practice, no one could do anything about it.
